Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales was killed by an Iranian strike in Jordan — she was just 19 years old. 

Our gratitude for her service should not be mistaken for acceptance of her death.

We should not be sending our brave men and women like Isabella to die in another forever war.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, the needy to be called "parasites," and our planet to be ravaged, all while billionaires get richer, we've misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

🇺🇸 Thomas Massie says Americans should stop consuming Fox News slop and should start paying attention to their pockets being drained by inflation.

A college student just killed the biggest advantage politicians have ever had. The gap between the lie and the fact-check.

He built a Chrome extension called InTruth. It listens to any live speech, debate, or interview.

Transcribes every word. And checks every claim against real sources in real time. Before the speaker even finishes the sentence.

It works on debates. Press conferences. Town halls. Interviews. Anything with someone talking on video. The fact-check shows up on your screen while they're still talking.

Until now, fact-checking happened hours or days later. By then the clip has been shared, the headline has been written, and the damage is done. Nobody reads the correction.

InTruth closes that gap to seconds. The claim and the fact-check exist in the same moment.

A college student, a Chrome extension, and an AI model just did what entire newsrooms couldn't figure out for decades.

U.S. soldiers were sent to die in the Middle East for Israel’s wars.

Meanwhile, the families of the people who pushed those wars are enjoying the World Cup from luxury seats.

The ruling class gets the view.
Ordinary families get the coffins.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Christians to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires and empathy more than cruelty.

EXCELLENT QUESTION.

So, let me make sure I've got this right. Lettuce from Taylor Farms had been linked to the cyclospora outbreak. Taylor Farms CEO flies to the WH, makes a "donation" to Trump, and suddenly, the FDA walks back its finding, claiming a false positive???
I have 0 faith in our govt.

Mitch McConnell has taken more medical leave than most mothers in America get for maternity leave.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

WHOA!!! Sen. Jon Ossoff just OBLITERATED Trump's entire bullsh*t nation address.

"Here's what's gonna happen tonight. The world's most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes address to pursue his six-year-old grievances about the 2020 election while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country."

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe Democrats were capable of stealing the 2020 election while out of power, but somehow incapable of doing the same in 2024 while in power. That is a categorically, phenomenally dumb thing to believe.

A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday.

We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones.

We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

When Trump says he won the 2020 election in his address to the nation tomorrow night, remember Fox News had to pay $787.5 million for lying to viewers and spreading that same lie.

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill.

I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020.

28 items. $64.50.

Added every single one back to the cart just to see.

$158.30.
Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart.
$93.80 more.

In five years.
We didn’t buy more.
Didn’t upgrade anything.
Didn’t add a single extra item.

Just needed the same things we always needed.

They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was strong.

Our cart didn’t get any of those memos.
145% increase in five years.

Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades.

And it shows.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE.

He wasn't their intended target. But he looked like their intended target.

Lorenzo was our neighbor, a fellow Texan. He lived in Houston for 35 years. He worked as a construction worker and he sent his three boys to college.

His oldest son is a public school teacher. His middle son is an engineer. And his youngest is still in school.

Lorenzo Salgado embodied the American dream. His boys called him ‘El Mundo Intero‘ — the whole world.

And they watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was a child of God, endowed with infinite worth. His life was invaluable. His death was senseless. Our neighbor, our fellow Texan, deserves justice.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

He's been complaining about an election he lost for over half a decade. Meanwhile, your life is not any easier. What good is Trump? When he's not sleeping he's stealing, when he's not stealing he's breaking things or throwing your tax dollars away on a war or home renovations.

[Warren @swd2]

They shot him, dragged his lifeless body onto the pavement, and handcuffed his corpse while his 3-year old daughter wearing Bluey pajamas watched in horror. If you say you voted for this you are an empty soulless vessel.

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

republicans in 2024: “kamala can’t just take joe biden’s place in the election. nobody voted for her. that’s not democracy.”

republicans now: “it’s totally fine that lindsey graham’s sister is taking his place.”

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

Lindsey Graham’s sister randomly gets his job because he died?? Do I become a neuroscientist at Cornell when my sister dies because I’m not ready for that
