So the US policy of taking Russia’s side and trying to force Ukraine to surrender to occupation and slaughter has stagnated thanks to the fierce resistance of Ukrainians and their allies in Europe. Good.

Exactly. Most people cite the "Commander-in-Chief" part without the part that makes it clear the decision on when we GO to war is up to the legislative branch (which is a safeguard of course to keep overwhelming systemic power diffused among the powerful people in govt.).

It's not only veterans, it's the overwhelming majority of the world. Trump is a serial lying psychopath and EVERYONE knows it. 😳👇

Trump’s own words last week: “We can’t take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.”

This week, he says he’s ready to bail out the United Arab Emirates.

The man who ran on America First is telling American families they’re on their own while offering a financial lifeline to a wealthy Gulf state whose sovereign wealth fund has poured billions into his family’s businesses.

Can’t afford day care.

Can’t afford healthcare.

Can’t afford to help families keep the heat on.

Can afford a bailout for the UAE.

Tell me again who America First was supposed to be for.

Now we know why Tesla moved from California to Texas so they can dump waste water on their neighbors without fear of retribution.

This should be a bigger story.

A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.

They didn’t follow the law, didn’t follow the science, and betrayed the public to serve Trump’s agenda.

Disgraceful. https://t.co/s3xD3rfeIX

Well, it's one of the most famous statements on the subject in American history.
Thanks for posting it!

SEN. @Hickenlooper: “Death cards left behind by ICE agents — cards with white supremacist history left in detained immigrants' abandoned cars… Imagine finding your brother's empty car with one of these in the driver's seat. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty."

The President sold our most sophisticated AI chips to an Emirati company with ties to the Chinese military. Now we find out they paid hundreds of millions directly to the President’s kids.

It’s all there in plain sight. https://t.co/imHJBdFE0m

More than 300 people rallied Thursday evening at Texas A&M University in College Station, saying a new ban on teaching about race and gender is censoring classroom instruction and threatening academic freedom.

A&M sophomore Madeline Kiser held a poster that read, "Don't cheapen our degrees."

"It's embarrassing if I graduate from a university that isn't allowed to teach adults — who wanted to be here," said Kiser, an English major. "It's really sad to walk into class and have professors have to dance around topics. I see it in my classes, the switch in demeanor."

Texas has now crossed a serious line. Through HB 1605, passed in the last session, championed by TEA Commissioner #MikeMorath, Governor Greg Abbott, Representative Brad Buckley, Senator Brandon Creighton and others on both sides of the asile, the state is explicitly establishing a mandated “canon of literature” for every student K through 12.

That word canon matters. Canon is not an academic term. It is a value laden term rooted in authority, belief, and the power to declare what is foundational truth. This is not about teaching students how to read across genres. The state’s own testimony confirms the intent is to create a shared body of works all students are expected to read, understand, and internalize as foundational knowledge. That is a shift away from academic skill development and toward shaping values, beliefs, and behaviors.

When the state becomes the arbiter of what is canon, it assumes authority over truth itself. And when that canon begins to include biblical references embedded in a state owned and mandated curriculum, the question must be asked plainly. Is the state now defining its own religious canon? This is not about faith. It is about government power, coercion, and the constitutional danger of the state deciding what our children must believe, rather than what they must learn.

The Bible is sacred scripture. It is not a tool of the state.
And it should never be filtered, excerpted, reframed, or repackaged by a government agency.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Constitutional lawyer here, Sir!

ICE needs a warrant based upon probable cause signed by a neutral, impartial judge or magistrate under Article III to enter a person’s home. No executive branch edict or order from Trump or Noem can empower masked federal agents to override the Fourth Amendment.

Now, as a farmer, can you tell me how Trump’s unconstitutional tariffs are working for farm country?

Marco Rubio still contends the invasion of Venezuela wasn't a military operation but a "legal" one. Senator Paul asks him to put the shoe on the other foot, and Rubio has no answer. The invasion was an unauthorized, unconstitutional use of our military. Period. #NoForeverWars

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

So the White House's position is that ICE and CBP can murder an American citizen, posthumously slander him and call him a terrorist, remove evidence from the crime scene and block state and local investigations, and then hide the shooter's identity even while he stays on the job
