Hundreds of students at The Watertown High School in Wisconsin walked out of school after the conservative school board, banned a song with no lyrics whatsoever from being played by the school band.

The school board claimed that this song “indoctrinated students and endorsed violence”.

It was “A Mother of a Revolution,” and it had NO LYRICS AT ALL.

You’ve heard it said that Republicans are fiscally conservative and Democrats just want to spend. Is it true? Check out this chart on US debt. Surprised? We’re not.
#DemsAbroad #VoteBlue #TrumpEconomy

Details:
Federal debt as a share of GDP, split by presidential party.

Method: yearly change in debt/GDP is compounded only during the years each party held the presidency. When one party is in office, the other line stays flat. Data: FRED (GFDEGDQ188S), annualized from quarterly.

Result: over this sample, Republicans accumulate more of the increase in the debt-to-GDP ratio.🧵

Yesterday Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to Hegseth.

Not an op-ed. Not a tweet. An official Senate letter with footnotes.

Here’s what it says:
The DoD banned Anthropic, the model the NSA cleared - for having too many safety guardrails.

Then handed classified military system access to Grok.

The same Grok that the NSA itself flagged for security concerns “that other models didn’t have.”

Hegseth now has to respond on the record.

He won’t be able to.

Because there is no coherent answer to: why did you ban the safest model and greenlight the most dangerous one?

This isn’t the end of the story.

This is Warren establishing the evidentiary record.

The hearings come next.

If you want to find a hypocritical statement by Trump in the past that contradicts something he just did, you never have to look very hard.

@Jose29436615275 @DimaZeniuk A Starlink satellite has an expected operational lifespan of approximately 5 years. This relatively short lifecycle is a deliberate design choice by SpaceXto ensure the constellation is frequently updated with the latest technology and to maintain space safety.

BREAKING: Bill Clinton enrages Republicans by releasing a full breakdown of his Epstein deposition from earlier today — and explains EXACTLY why he agreed to testify: "No person is above the law."

This MAGA ploy has backfired spectacularly...

"I just finished testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee. I did it for two reasons. First, I love my country, including our Constitution," Clinton said in a video posted to X. "And America was built on the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents, especially presidents, and that we should all live under the same set of rules."

"This kind of democracy requires every person to play their part," he continued. "And I hope that by being here today, we can bring ourselves just a little further away from the brink and back to being a country where we can disagree civilly and we can search for truth and justice, and that it outweighs the partisan urge to score points and create spectacle."

"The second reason I was there is that the girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not just justice, but healing," said Clinton. "They've been waiting too long for both. Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was truly going on, I offered the little I do know in the hopes that it would help prevent anything like this from ever happening again."

"I also have to say something personal. Republicans made Hillary testify yesterday, and she had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing," he went on. "She has no memory of ever even meeting him. She neither traveled with him nor visited any of his properties. So whether ten people or ten thousand people were subpoenaed, concluding her was simply not right."

On this point, the former president is absolutely correct. Hillary Clinton was not implicated at any stage of this sordid Epstein saga. She was subpoenaed to testify because Republicans are desperate to distract from the fact the Trump is all over the files and is accused of sexual abuse and rape. They know that right-wing voters still begin frothing at the mouth when they think of the former Secretary of State, so dragging Hillary Clinton into this mess is like throwing red meat to their base.

"So here's what I told the committee," Bill Clinton continued in his video. "First, I had no idea the crimes Epstein was committed. No matter how many photos they show of me, I have two things that at the end of the day matter far more than any interpretation of 20-year-old photos. I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn't see. And I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn't do. I saw nothing and did nothing wrong."

"As someone who grew up in a home with domestic violence, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing," he stated. "I would have turned to him myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not the sweetheart deal that he got. But even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me a real pause. We're only here today because Epstein hid it from everyone so well for so long. And by the time it came to light with his 2008 guilty plea, I had long stopped associating with it."

"When the video of my testimony today is released, I hope it will motivate everyone to go in front of Congress to say what they know. I hope it will motivate the Justice Department to finally release all the files and to ensure that this never happens again. The survivors deserve that," he concluded.

Bill Clinton, a former president, being forced to testify like this sets a historic precedent. It means that Donald Trump is fair game and should be forced immediately to explain his Epstein relationship under oath.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that Republicans be subpoenaed next!

@The_Real_Solyad @WSJ That is an incredibly myopic viewpoint.
