On this night 251 years ago, two men climbed Old North Church's steeple. They held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were heading to Concord via the Charles River.
Their famous “one if by land, two if by sea” warning ignited the American Revolution.
Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

Melvin Laird, Richard Nixon's Secretary of Defense, said this in 1972 when he dedicated "Correspondents' Corridor" in the Pentagon:
"I do hope that [the press] remain as surly, suspicious, aggressive and thirsty as always. A free and strong American press is not a luxury; it is a necessity for the survival of our democracy. This corridor is not just a workspace; it is a recognition that the people’s right to know is as vital to our national security as any weapon system in our inventory."
Our president's persistent preference for Putin over our beleaguered ally in Ukraine remains inexplicable, a strategic and moral catastrophe.

Robert S. Mueller III left his life of privilege at an Ivy League school to be a Marine at the height of Vietnam. Connected families often used contacts to avoid military service. Lieutenant Mueller served with great honor, earning a Bronze Star for valor and a Purple Heart🇺🇸
BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, both Senators Republican Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis are saying they will vote against a motion to proceed on Donald Trump's Save Act. This is amazing.
This is an outrageous abuse of power by Donald Trump and his lackies. It wasn’t enough for Pete Hegseth to censure me and threaten to demote me, now it appears they tried to have me charged with a crime — all because of something I said that they didn’t like. That’s not the way things work in America.
Donald Trump wants every American to be too scared to speak out against him. The most patriotic thing any of us can do is not back down.
LEGENDARY: Peyton Manning had one of the greatest Super Bowl Parties ever in 2017 for the #Patriots - #Falcons.
😭😭😭
This was gold.

Hi Speaker @MikeJohnson!
If you tell me which 3, I'm happy to explain how ballot reporting works in that state and how it can sometimes lead to a red mirage.
In Arizona, we have the opposite (blue mirage).
For example, in the November 2020 election, Democrats were winning big in all the state and countywide elections.
That's because in Arizona, we pre-process and pre-tabulate all mail ballots that are returned before Election Day. Those ballots came disproportionately from Democrats.
That meant that the first results released at 8:00 PM were wayyyyy bluer than the final results.
When Election Day in-person votes, and Election Day dropoff votes, are aggregated into the county later in the evening and over the next 48 hours, the races got redder and redder.
I was a Republican candidate in Maricopa County in November 2020.
I was down 90,000 votes to the Democratic candidate with the first results.
I eventually came back and won.
My Democratic opponent understood how it worked, did not cry foul, and conceded the race.
Again, here to help! Let me know which 3.
UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??”
Donald Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔
The police chief got her out of the DHS vehicle as the agents who grabbed her were driving her to the DHS jail. When told that they were acting illegally, one agent just says: "I'm not getting into the legality of everything."

From James Hodge on Facebook
“One man shoved a woman to the ground. Another man stepped in to protect the woman. The man who shoved the woman then pepper sprayed the man trying to protect her. The guy who shoved the woman continued to pepper spray them both and the man who stepped in tried to use his body as a shield to protect the woman. The guy who shoved the woman then started trying to drag the man shielding the woman away. The woman shoving man failed to drag the man shielding the woman so several more men jumped in to stop the man from shielding the woman. The woman shover and his friends then stomped, punched, and kicked the man who had been trying to shield the woman. As they assaulted him they realized the shielding man had a holstered gun. The shielding man fought to get free to protect the woman, but never reached for his gun. One of the stomping men grabbed the shielding man’s gun and cleared himself before a single shot was fired. The other men then, after he had been disarmed, shot the shielding man ten or more times despite never having reached for his gun and after he’d already been disarmed.
That is exactly what happened. A man was murdered for trying to protect a woman who’d been assaulted.
He wasn’t a terrorist, he was a hero. He was the one protecting someone and he was gunned down for doing what any decent man should do when he sees a woman being assaulted. Alex Pretti died a hero. Alex Pretti exemplified the best of America and was murdered for it.
If you have any honor, any love for your country, and basic human decency, you will applaud the Alex Pretti and condemn the men who murdered him.”
