@gtconway3d That he uppercases his name and not his title of President is revealing.

@davidaxelrod @POTUS We are all gonna say this when Trump dies. So I can’t truly judge him harshly on this post

@washingtonpost But ICE is not funded right now as is TSA. How does this solve anything? ICE found money in its budget they can use?

Scientists have successfully eliminated HIV from infected cells, using Crispr gene-editing technology

The edited cells not only had the HIV DNA removed, but they also resisted reinfection upon exposure

As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true:

“Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.”

Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.

But as Adam’s wrote, America:  “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”

The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.  

Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.”

As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.  

But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.

Republicans are lying to you.

Democrats didn’t stand because Trump lied about Iryna Zarutska and blamed them for her murder.

He claimed the killer “came in through open borders.” — blaming Democrats.

The man was literally born in Charlotte, NC.

He also claimed democrats released the violent criminal on cashless bail. Yes he was out in cashless bail for making a fake 911 call. Not for a violent crime.

I’m not easily shook these days but the number of people who think the appropriate punishment for not following a masked federal agent’s orders is assassination is rather shocking

Incredible heroism and tragedy at Bondi Beach.

An Australian man walked up from behind the terrorist and disarmed him.

He then showed incredible restraint in not blasting him, only for the shooter to walk away and grab another rifle on the bridge.

One man then left from the cover of a tree and was shot.

Finally, another man approached the bridge and started shooting at the terrorists.
