My brilliant mixed-race 16yo neice is thinking abt applying to a military academy for college. She is star-struck on space. I'm a GI-brat myself but for a lot of reasons, I think ANYTHING military-related would be a huge mistake for her. What other pathways would be better? Or, tell me why Im wrong

If you voted for Trump in 2024 because gas and eggs were too expensive... how do you feel NOW about the rising costs of: gas, and vegetables, and hamburger, and seafood, and kid's shoes, and underwear, and socks, and automobile tires, and... Is THIS what you voted for?

Those are the words of a "potential" war criminal (pushed and encouraged by his "potentially" war criminal president)

"I accuse Israel of crossing the red line, I condemn the massacre of Palestinian civilians, and I announce that Italy will support European sanctions against Israel." - Italian Prime Minister Meloni #cdnpoli

Popped into my favorite local burger joint for lunch. Sign on the door: "due to statewide tomato shortage, tomatoes will only be provided if specifically ordered." Why a tomato shortage? Tariffs on imported tomatos from Mexico AND lack of laborors to pick tomatos grown in TX, Ca, Fl. Thank you 47

Maybe we shouldn’t have gloated about Iran having no air defenses left when Iran clearly still has air defenses? Just a thought.

If the state takes you into custody, it takes on a duty of care. CBP knew Alam was nearly blind, disabled, and alone in a strange city. They abandoned him at night outside a closed restaurant. He died. The ME says homicide. No agency that does this should call itself a “border protection” force.

Waiting for Germany and the UK to join France, Spain, and Italy in telling Trump they won't assist him in his illegal war by allowing bombers bound for Iran to leave from air bases in their countries.

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating. The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/shut-it-do...

The President of the USA threatens to commit war crimes. Stock markets rise sharply. We're fucked.

I have a suggestion for how ICE can be helpful at airports. ICE agents can offer to stand in line for airline customers and guard their baggage while the customer goes to lunch or enjoys a beer. The ICE agent can call the customer to come get back in line once they're close to the front!

Who knew this song would be so fitting after so many years 😒

Just went through 3 months of HELL trying to get a passport b/c the middle name on my 🪪 was my maiden name, unlike the one on my birth certificate. And a REAL ID would not suffice, so I was forced to cancel my trip for a family funeral. Cannot imagine the nightmare that awaits our nation come Nov.🗳️

$200billion for an "excursion" Seriously?

The SAVE ACT is like a homeowner (who already lives in a nice, secure, gated-community) installing explosives on all the drawers, cupboards, and closets throughout his house and telling his wife, his kids, the nanny and maid that it's to keep "bad men" from breaking in and stealing our stuff.

“They’re ignoring *rump, and making their own side deal! Of course, France and Italy are reportedly negotiating with Iran to let their tankers through the Strait of Hormuz…”

Given that Iran is willing to allow ships of other nations to pass safely thru the Strait of Hormuz (blocking only the US and its allies), the smartest course for ALL the various countries Trump has insulted/broken agreements is likely to be ignoring Trump and negotiating with Iran for safe passage.

Imagine that everything he promised his base turning out to be a lie. Shocking. Just shocking.

Exactly this. 🎯

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

Has anybody asked Trump how much Noem's salary will be in her new role as special envoy to Shield of the Americas and from what agency's budget her salary will be paid? Is he gonna create sinecures for everybody in his admin that he is forced to fire, so they dont write a tell-all book?

Doesn't Mullins have to resign his senate seat if he becomes ACTING Secretary of Dept of Homeland Security? I know he'd have to if he was confirmed as Secretary? Why would Trump want to reduce GOP Senate numbers? Or does Trump think Mullins would be allowed to hold both posts at the same time?

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.] A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

Per the Wall Street Journal.👇

To Texas Democratic voters (and any sane Republicans still out there): If you care at all about your future and your children's futures, November is our last chance to turn this slide into American Jihadism (Christo-Fascist Nationalism) around. Vote Democratic for EVERY SLOT on the ballot.

The Postal Service’s new policy for issuing postmarks could trip up some people who rely on mail to register to vote. In states that don’t have stop-gap measures like same-day voter registration, some may miss out on voting entirely.

The Dallas County kerffuffle is going to piss off Jasmine Crockett's voters so that many of them decide not to vote in Nov. And that is exactly what the GOP wants. If Jasmine can convince her voters to support Talarico for the sake of nation, she will prove herself 100% worthy of '28 Presidency

The billionaire class has drained the middle class of its wealth and stability, and our government has let it happen. Abbott’s given every sweetheart deal to the rich and powerful. Working Texans need a champion in the Governor’s mansion, not someone only serving their donors.

re reports that Iran tried - or at least floated plans - to assassinate Trump twice; it occurs to me that Iran could legitimately argue that they were just trying to help the American people engage in regime change. I mean, if Trump can use that argument, why can't the other side? Just asking...

No billionaire tax break is worth our public education, our housing, or our opportunities. Texas leadership cannot be allowed to sell out our futures and our kids' futures from under us.

I would think the First Lady, who was a porn model and has dozens of nude and sexual photos readily available online, as well as being close friends with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, would have more information on Epstein than Hillary Clinton, no? #DeposeMelania

Texas Democrats, I hope listening to all the GOP primary candidates attemtp to out-MAGA one another on their nonstop TV ads will finally leave you sick enough of their hate to GO VOTE a straight Dem ticket. No matter which of them wins their primaries, we simply CANNOT allow them to win in Nov.

😕🇺🇸

Worth watching, especially for TX voters. Note: In a later video, this woman posted that she was finally allowed to cast a PROVISIONAL BALLOT. That's "something" but a provisional ballots may or may NOT ultimately be counted. And as far as I know, in Texas there is no way to ever find out.

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No! I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary. Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

Florida is a cesspool of corruption.

Views may differ, but #freespeech is vital to our democracy. Please share this out. youtu.be/tEmZ37hkMFk?...

There are a few speciality food items I order thru Amazon b/c not carried anywhere locally. I stocked up in Jan 2025 and again in Aug 25. Need to stock up again. Between Jan and Aug 2025, every item's price went up by 3% to 5%. Today, every item's price is up 16% to 33% over the Aug 2025 price.

What she says Lava melts ice…

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Correct. Now is the time to be very clear on the fact that you don't give a fucking inch to fascists. Not on anything. Not ever. Everything they are doing is per se illegitimate. The very minimum you demand is an immediate, across-the-board return to regular democratic order and norms. Nothing less.

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings. This is what cowardice and bending the knee to a tyrant looks like.
