Thank you Boston, Boston Pops (and CNN ) for a glorious and classy celebration appropriate for our 250th!

So gratified the Italian PM is calling Trump out for his childishness. She is correct in her first comments that DJT should disparage the Enemies of the West, not its Allies.

After a lifetime of watching 60 minutes, I’m out. I hope that citizens, viewers remember, you vote, and you do not have to watch. Use your agency.

Worst idea of the month.

Thank you, King Charles, for a magnificent speech emphasizing the singular importance of the Rule of Law, checks/ balances, NATO, our alliance, and Ukraine’s defense — and the paramount importance of preservation of Nature. Role model of dignity and professionalism — how it should be done.

What more do Congressional Republicans and other sane washers need to see after this counter-productive, manufactured crisis? We lost the trust of allies and aided Putin-may be the point. Every dictator plays Trump for a fool. Thanks to Spain for an intelligent response. Iran now strong! Great job.

Tillis- this may be premature but Repubs might consider him as 2028 nominee — informed, sincere, and grounded. I’m so impressed with his well deserved thrashing of Noen.

Congress, pass the War Powers Act, and, reinstitute a universal military Draft to ensure all Americans have a stake and cost — gravitas— before such military engagements as Trump continues to undertake unilaterally.

Anthropic, thank you for standing firm and ethical.

Funds and commitment to attack Iran, open ended flow of arms to Israel, but, nothing to assist and stand with Ukraine, a democracy now in its 5th year of invasion by Russia, an enemy of democracy, NATO, Europe and the U. S.

“Even if you believed that using the military to overthrow a foreign government or make some other kind of change might sometimes be a good idea, trusting this president and this government to do it right would be foolish in the extreme.” — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

As Rep. Raskin ( constitutional law expert) states, the Minnesota ICE operation constitutes blatant violations of 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th and 10th Amendments of our Bill of Rights. As a Minnesota resident stated, Hell has frozen over in Minnesota.

Chaos at home and abroad instigated by Donald Trump, Stephen Miller & Co. constitutes domestic terrorism. The MN man was a nurse, assisting a woman who had been knocked to the ground. He had a permit a gun ( for 2nd Am absolutists). 4 ICE threw him to ground and killed him— no gun brandishing.

Yes, this must stop. Trump appears to replicate his do-nothing stance of January 6th. Coupled with his denigration of our NATO allies and Trump’s denigration of Allied troops who died to support us after 9/11 attack… Putin is now deliriously happy…the single consistent thread.
