Congratulations to our nominee for Secretary of State, @BeauBayh! Let’s win this November and clean up 21+ years of Republican corruption at the Statehouse.
- Kaja Kallas says:
If Russia truly wants peace, it should accept responsibility for the damage caused in Ukraine, return deported Ukrainian children and ensure accountability for war crimes..."
I couldn't agree more....this is true!
With the shooting in Toledo, Ohio - it might be a good time to point out that since Trump’s 2nd term: Republicans introduced zero gun reform bills, despite almost 600 mass shootings - while introducing over 800 restrictive voting bills, despite only 40 cases of voter fraud.
Whether he's pardoning men who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, men who defrauded Medicare for billions, or men who were convicted of insider trading, Trump has made a mockery of the presidential pardon, and future laws will have to change because of him.
An appropriate post from Zelensky on the anniversary of D-Day. Nothing from Trump. Which is appropriate, since Zelensky is a fighter against tyranny, unlike Trump.
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Putin will continue this total war against Ukraine until he chokes on his own blood.
Nothing else will stop him in this madness. No “concessions,” no empty “dialogue.”
If his bloodthirsty, hate-filled response to Zelensky’s plea for peace is not enough to make this question clear once and for all, then I don’t know what ever will.
LIE. I was there. They were walking through the building, destroying property, spreading feces on the walls, stealing things, rioting and threatening to kill the Vice President. But other than that . . .
Extremely rare 'White Auroras' spotted over Norway.
The sky over Norway just did something it almost never does.
Photographers chasing the northern lights got the shock of their lives.
Instead of the usual greens and purples dancing overhead, the auroras turned ghostly white.
Pure. Pale. Almost glowing.
It's one of the rarest aurora displays on Earth.
Scientists say white auroras happen when multiple aurora colors overload the human eye at once, blending together until they appear colorless. The brain simply can't process all the wavelengths firing at the same time, so it surrenders and sees white.
Most aurora chasers go their entire careers without witnessing it.
Norway just delivered the impossible.
Cameras across the Arctic captured the eerie phenomenon lighting up the night like frozen lightning, leaving even seasoned skywatchers speechless.
Some called it otherworldly.
Others said it looked like the sky was bleeding light.
And for a few unforgettable minutes, the heavens above Norway turned into something nobody had ever seen before.
Hey media
Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"
The Social Security Trust Fund running out of money in 2032 is a choice—one I disagree with. Right now, billionaires like Elon Musk pay the same amount into Social Security as someone who makes $170,000. Let’s scrap the cap and make the ultra-rich (who, by the way, pay lower taxes on their investment gains than people who earn a paycheck) pay their share of taxes into Social Security. https://t.co/78tX9oi2N3
