There is a difference between “firings” and ending rotations early and sending people back to their home offices. Which is it, really?

THIS is why the parties are NOT the same! If Democrats were in power, Republicans would have obstructed this bill despite it likely helping their constituents. Democrats try to serve the people. Republicans only serve themselves and whatever will help them take or keep power.

This could have been you. Please vote in the midterms.

Trump targets comedians because humor can cut through propaganda and challenge authoritarian narratives in ways that resonate with the public.

There’s nothing like the sweet smell of failure in the morning.

It’s the miraculous growing slit. It was only 250 feet long yesterday. This blue material was touted as paint. Who would have imagined they could slit paint, much less tried to?

“If [Blanche] is confirmed, expect more vindictive prosecutions. Expect more prosecutorial misconduct. And expect more federal judges…to say, along with Judge Perry in Illinois, that their trust is broken. Why? Because the Trump administration is the nation’s chief threat to the rule of law.”

Don’t assume that everyone thinks the same way you do

Ramirez: He’s literally siccing the troops on a microscopic organism. He is sending the National Guard to the Reflecting Pool to arrest people who touch the water. It’s absurd. And also, he’s killing the baby ducklings.

Markwayne Mullin claims somebody who tried to travel into the US with the Iranian soccer team "had direct ties to the IRGC"

Pathetic. Even at the fountains (like the WWII memorial) where there are signs saying “stay out of the water,” cops look the other way. And there are no signs at the reflecting pool that I’m aware of. Even if there are signs, who would arrest a passerby for pulling trash out of the water?

Marilou & I are still on a high from The Presidential Center Opening! A non-stop party with inspirational speeches from Barack & Michelle, followed by a FANtastic 🎶 concert (check out the artists below)! By the time Stevie Wonder performed "Higher Ground" the crowd nearly passed out from sheer joy!🥰

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general.

It’s easy to forget the men released from GTMO given all the crazy news thrown at us every day. But it’s important to remember, as well as the 15 who remain—many uncharged and mostly untried, 25 years later Tariq El Sawah, GTMO Prisoner Sent to Bosnia, Dies at 68 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...
