Trump is turning the EPA into the Environmental POLLUTION Agency. By killing the endangerment finding, they are endangering all of us. More cities full of smog, more pollution and health problems, more irreversible impacts to nature and wildlife—that's what they're giving us. So much for MAHA.

Jesse Jackson was a man in the arena—a towering civil rights and human rights leader, a splendid orator and a courageous voice for justice. Sending my deepest condolences to his family, especially Jesse Jr. & Jonathan, and all who loved him. Jesse Jackson made a difference. He’ll be missed dearly.

It's amazing to me how so many people who consider themselves devout Christians give God so little credit.

A federal immigration judge ended the deportation case against Narciso Barranco, a Mexican father of three U.S. Marines. Barranco's arrest on video, showing masked federal agents pinning him down and punching him outside an IHOP in Southern California, went viral last year.

Thank you! Keep it up!

"That's what Marines do." Staff Sgt. Billy Scafidel, an armory chief with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, was awarded the highest non-combat decoration for heroism for life saving actions.

Another example of the state of Tennessee doing its damnedest to screw over Memphis and Shelby County.

A new course at Fort Benning provides Army leaders a familiarity with the ground robots, aerial drones and the autonomous capabilities the service is building into its key combat formations. Check it out:

The thing this piece fails to mention is that Harrison is a hotbed of white supremacy and has been key in national Ku Klux Klan leadership. Whoever wrote this should be fired. But I’m sure it’s quaint and lovely - as long as you’re the right kind of white. #Arkansas

Gov. Lee rejected Summer EBT funding for kids in Memphis and TN-9, but I won't stop fighting for it. I’ve always voted to fund Summer EBT because kids still need to eat when school's out. The money is there, but Gov. Lee refused it—AGAIN. This is wrong. I’m fighting in Congress to change course.

ICE is killing, lying, and covering for itself. We must abolish ICE—and we need to make sure that no federal officer can ever kill and hide behind a would-be badge, a mask, or a lawless President and DHS Secretary ever again. That's why I introduced the Deadly Force Independent Review Act.

There are only two options: 1. Nominate & confirm 2. Direct an acting pursuant to FVRA Full stop. "ending the argument that statutes vesting in department heads the general authority to delegate powers to other officials provided an alternative method of empowering acting officials" -SRpt 105-250

"Tasting History" (great channel) - how citizens ate during WWII. Virtual starvation in Japan. Slogan "Shortage of foodstuffs means shortage of ingenuity!" Now, who does that remind me of? Oh right, Brooke Rollins. Can't afford healthy food? It's your own fault. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OStT...

Sad news. Can’t begin to estimate how many of these I’ve impulse-bought, only to discover a new author I love. Lee Child, Chris Reich, Vince Flynn, Mark Greaney, and on and on, all found through a $6 or $8 gamble. Not gonna be impulse-buying hardcovers at $30 apiece…

The GOP is a sham. And America's shame.

The ugliness of Trump.

Holy moly! And what's ICE doing there? Did they cause the crash?

Brig. Gen. Ryan Hoyle has taken command of the Marine Corps' only permanently deployed expeditionary brigade, just in time for its participation with the Japanese military in the 20th iteration of the Iron Fist exercise. (from @brianmcelhiney.bsky.social)

Yeah they keeping saying that, but Trump drove up my taxes in his first administration, and I don't believe him at all.

Regarding the victims' information not being redacted in the released Epstein files, I'm wondering whether it could weaponized incompetence or vindictive malice, rather than plain incompetence.

Cutting back on ready-to-eat meals won't be easy, and whole milk may make a comeback. One thing that's certain: It'll be a while before the new guidelines trickle down to schools. n.pr/4qeenQj

Memphis: I just learned that Howard Vance has died. I took lessons at the Vance Guitar Acadamy, founded in 1974, for years. Memphis has lost a fine musician. howardvance.com

A newly promoted lieutenant general is set to take command of 5th Air Force in Tokyo, a role that until recently was held by the head of U.S. Forces Japan but has now been split as the command expands into a broader mission.

If you protest ICE, they’ll use lethal force against you. But if you defraud workers, patients, and taxpayers out of hundreds of millions—and donate to the GOP—Trump will just hand you a pardon. No restitution. No consequences. Victims get nothing. Do you think YOU would get a pardon for fraud?

I've subscribed to a new (to me) youtube channel: Lauren the Mortician (www.youtube.com/@Laurenthemo...) This won't be for people creeped out by death science, but I love it. Apart from the science stuff, Lauren's decency and kindness pour out of the screen like a warm glow. We need more of that.

Another thing outsiders don't know about Memphis: we have a great library system.

Hometown pride! Tennessee has some gawdawful politicians, but we also have some great ones like Steve Cohen.

We’ve gone from “the Epstein files/client list are on Pam Bondi’s desk,” to “there is no client list,” to 3 million files dumped overnight. All under Trump. They hoped you wouldn't notice. Now they hope you think it's over—without any of these men even standing trial. We can't let that happen.

Dorner Carmichael's year as a Red Cross volunteer during the Vietnam War changed her life. Five decades later, Carmichael drew on her days as a "Donut Dolly" to help give U.S. troops in Poland a sense of normalcy while deployed far from home. From Stars and Stripes' ShaTyra Cox in Powidz:

The U.S. Coast Guard led the rescue of 27 mariners on Sunday after their fishing vessel caught fire and sank near the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. No serious injuries were reported.

Re-upping this, as I'm seeing many more anonymous accounts claiming things they "heard from someone who knows" or what their "neighbor said they saw," but with no verification. Even if—especially if—someone appears to be against what's going on, please don't share anonymous, no-proof claims. 🙏🏻

I watched a show on Nebula presenting highly detailed calculations proving it's faster if everyone stands on escalators instead of one side stand/one side walk. Seriously, dudes? Overkill. Stop with the calculations and look to see if there is a line of people waiting to get on the escalator.

“It’s sad that instead of having good memories of the United States, you’re left with a bad taste in your mouth about that country because they’re treating them like animals.” If you treated an animal like this, you'd be charged with abuse.
