@jdbalart Your good news stories are really a light when there is so little of it in the news these days. They’re sort of the miniature version of what Steve Hartman does with his stories, each of you bringing heart warming, human stories. Thank you!
Think about all the column inches and headlines devoted to Graham Platner over the past week versus Ken Paxton and then tell me again we have a ‘liberal’ media.
🚨BREAKING: The American Postal Workers Union (APWU) says it is “deeply alarmed” about the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) new rule created to carry out President Donald Trump’s plans for restricting mail-in voting. https://t.co/ZHYGFbkSCC
@BrandonStraka LA residents know that Pratt has NO experience doing any normal job let alone any leadership skills or competencies to run the second largest U.S. city. They aren’t stupid. You-you should probably talk to someone.
@BreannaMorello The guy who has NO related experience or any competencies to be the mayor of our second largest city? The conspiracy guy? Any normal person doesn’t need to pretend. He’s a has been reality TV dude with no job experience.
I was a U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer, I served proudly in Afghanistan, and I’ve dealt with the Intelligence Community. I can say with confidence that Bill Pulte’s lack of experience is dangerous for our national security. Congress must push back and prevent an inexperienced loyalist from becoming the next Director of National Intelligence.
@USAttyEssayli You’re appealing to conspiracy nuts. Garbage in garbage out. Why don’t you just watch the counting? Volunteers have been managing our voting processes across the country for decades upon decades. The corruption by Trump to poison the process is disgusting. You have a choice.
@spencerpratt You should volunteer to work the polls. You’d learn something about the dedicated volunteers who have worked for years doing the work. Put up or shut up.
This may well be the last time Europe extends an invitation to clowns to mark D-Day. Not a single person in the Trump administration comes close to having the character those landings demanded. The Americans who stormed those beaches on June 6, 1944 were fighting against exactly the kind of people Hegseth represents
82 years ago today, on the first boats that hit the beaches of Normandy, most of the young men never made it past the waterline.
They were 18, 19, 20 years old. Farm boys from Iowa🇺🇸 and Saskatchewan🇨🇦. Kids from Brooklyn and Toronto. Someone’s son. Someone’s brother. Someone’s sweetheart. Some were already fathers.
By nightfall the tide was pulling their bodies back out to sea.
They didn’t die for slogans. They died because two totalitarian regimes had plunged Europe into darkness — one of them the immediate enemy storming toward the beaches, the other, considerably more murderous over its history, fighting on the Allied side at the time, only to soon impose its own brutal dictatorship on much of Eastern Europe.
Look at their faces in the photographs. Really look.
These boys stepped off those ramps into withering fire knowing the odds were catastrophic. Many of them had never been in a foreign country. Most had never seen combat. They went anyway.
And because they did — Americans and Canadians fighting side by side, with the Canadians on Juno Beach punching above their weight and advancing farther inland than any other Allied force that day — the world was liberated from one of the darkest tyrannies in history.
Every argument you have online, every meal you eat without fear, every election you complain about, every church you attend or book you read in peace — all of it exists because these young men paid the ultimate price on a single morning in June 1944.
Freedom is never free. It was bought with their blood on those beaches.
The question isn’t whether we remember them.
The question is whether we’re still worthy of what they purchased.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to Trump’s golden ballroom have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion.
Corruption at its finest.
@RealTimers@AmbassadorRice@ChrisMurphyCT@billmaher Two different entities planning the 250th. News to you? Trump not only has his own, he’s making money on the merch and taking $ from the bi-partisan one that was started ten years ago. And yet you blame the Dems? Ugh.
