Most military personnel serve honorably, but those involved in the Wounded Knee massacre did not. Honoring them and restoring Confederate names on bases suggests crimes against humanity are acceptable. These issues matter.

New Jersey Navy veteran Julio Aponte III questions whether any veteran's personal information is secure after Rep. Mikie Sherrill's private military record was released by Republicans.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons announced it was terminating its labor contract with the union representing over 30,000 prison employees, marking the latest step in the Trump administration’s push to tighten control over the federal workforce.

“In July, when Virginia lost our spot as “America’s Top State for Business,” CNBC cited the economic fallout caused by President Donald Trump’s reduction of the federal workforce.” Vote! www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

After Denmark, several unidentified drones have now been spotted over Germany, in Schleswig-Holstein. The Interior Ministry says the incidents are being assessed for possible espionage, while local police have stepped up drone defenses.

Since millions will listen to him or at least pay attention, we correct the record on the President’s completely nonsensical medical claims this morning.

Halligan presented the Comey case herself to the Grand Jury, which is a) remarkable, b) hugely risky, and c) a poss indication that nobody in the office wants anything to do with the case. The real proof will come as she tries to staff the case-- Will the staff as a whole balk?

New Epstein drop from the Oversight Dems has some interesting names in it 👀 👀 👀

And Dems need to create a new media center similar to what Kamala had during her campaign. Staffed by younger Americans who know how to speak to younger Americans. Fight memes with memes, etc... The world is more dangerous today than it was on the eve of Pearl Harbor. It needs communicated!

The Iran Nuclear Deal was working when Donald Trump ripped it up simply because he hated Barack Obama. None of this had to happen. That it is, is entirely on Donald Trump and his dismally bad instincts. READ MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

📌Trump giving out medical advice to a woman is like a pedophile handing out candy to a kid. Or is that redundant?

Trump’s Gaza proposal is for the US to “take over and own Gaza”. He has plans to turn it into the “Middle Eastern Riviera”, allow developers to cash in big, including the Kushner’s. I’d sure want to stay in a Trump hotel built on the 200,000 casualties Israel admits to. Trump says a deal is near. 🙄🤡

JENNIFER LAWRENCE ON GAZA: “What’s happening is no less than a genocide. It’s unacceptable. I’m terrified for all of our children.”

pending trip by Elon Musk to Epstein’s island”

Also, then stop hiding the Epstein Files.

Because it's on everyone's minds. I hope I'm wrong and he has another reason.

The SecDef wants all service commanders and their senior enlisted advisors to come to Quantico on short notice. It’s difficult to understand why. My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-qu...

Kimmel's show put together a montage of Trump insisting dozens of times yesterday to "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL." Complete insanity.

Trump’s Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday that the 20 U.S. Army soldiers awarded the Medal of Honor, for their participation in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre, may keep them. This is nothing more than a disgraceful celebration of the Native American Genocide.

Jeffries: "Trump, get back to DC. Why are you at a golf event right now & the govt is 4 days away from closing? That's outrageous. And it speaks to the fact that these extremists could care less about the health, safety, and economic well-being of the American people. They're on vacation right now."

Jeffries: "Cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save healthcare. Not complicated. Eight words. Even Donald Trump should be able to understand that."

It was difficult finding the best line from this article for this post. The whole article is good. But this... "Adversaries and allies are watching. This sudden, global, emergency recall of America’s top brass is a flashing red light to them: Something must be wrong inside the Pentagon."

ICE is abusing/torturing/disappearing/killing people using our tax dollars and in our name.

Jeffries: "One could argue that what James Comey did 11 days before the election in 2016 had something to do with the fact that Donald Trump got elected the first time around. This is how Trump repays James Comey? It's all crazy to me ... what it reflects is a broader attack on the rule of law."

The administration celebrating Wounded Knee is congruent with the administration asking for dismissals or one-day sentences for cops convicted of civil rights violations. It’s part of a coordinated message. /1 apnews.com/article/woun...

They don't plan on giving up power. Because that's who they are.

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump’s second term isn’t just about bad policies — it’s about permanently breaking America’s democratic institutions. Today, I explain why we can’t simply “resist” Trump and wait things out, but must build a long-term pro-democracy opposition movement. Please watch and share.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill: "My opponent and the Trump administration will stop at nothing. They will completely weaponize the federal government to achieve what they want. We saw it with Comey and we're seeing it here, releasing all of my records."

Senate Judiciary's Dick Durbin: "The Department of Justice has become a political tool of a vengeful President. President Trump wears his corruption like a badge of honor and defies anyone daring to challenge him."   "Is there one Republican left in Washington who gives a damn?"

Rep. Keith Self (R-Tx.) on a Dearborn, Michigan, mosque using a loudspeaker to call for prayer: "This is very intrusive. This violates noise ordinances and this needs to be stopped. You cannot violate other people's lives simply because you have Sharia in a neighborhood."

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

"Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter what the indictment says, because Halligan was going to indict Comey no matter what. That’s literally why she’s in the job — to bring the sort of sham charges that the previous US attorney, Eric Siebert, would not."

Trump just predicted more indictments coming in addition to James Comey's: "It's not a list, but I think there'll be others. I mean, they're corrupt."

Here’s the thing: the government doesn’t have to shut down. Trump backed out of negotiations to keep the government open. He told Republican members of Congress not to bother dealing with Democrats. The ball was in his hands. And he fumbled it.

Russian warship with switched-off identification system caught drifting near Denmark’s coast amid recent drone activity Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet reported spotting the Baltic Fleet's Aleksandr Shabalin lying idle off the southern tip of Langeland.

Every day he finds new ways to turn the US into a giant insane asylum.

To Jim Comey: You were made for this moment. Tyrants often lose power because they surround themselves with incompetent loyalists and rely on their bad advice to overreach. That moment has come to America. Justice is on your side. Win this case to defend the rule of law.

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

Ogles was installed in west Nashville via gerrymander back in 2022. Call his office - the staff always seem surprised to realize we *know* he despises half his constituents. (931) 777-2140

LATimes: Jesse Watters says the US should blow up or gas the UN building. And he bleats about “left wing radicals” are inciting violence when the left describes Trump and MAGA as Fascist and authoritarian.

Republicans are about to shut down the government because they want to keep hiding the Trumpstein files for President Sex Pest…

More people should be talking about this.

Add this to a long list of bad ideas.
