I thought Savannah might have erred in taking Sophi to the reward, but it was smart and kept Sophi from flipping.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

Pete Hegseth, Moral Failure, and the Erosion of Military Legitimacy Congress needs to find out if any laws were broken and who is responsible.

"A military that trades the Constitution for personal loyalty ceases to be American."

Pentagon Investigates Misconduct Allegations Against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly The review comes after Kelly, a retired Navy captain, appeared in a video with other lawmakers telling military members not to obey unlawful orders.

Senator Kelly’s remarks in the video are β€œa 100% accurate representation of what the law says."

β€œNo American citizen should have to deal with this type of preposterous investigation.”

- Professor Eugene Fidell, leading military justice expert in Wall Street Journal

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

And Sage and Jawan are right back on the bottom with Rizzo, Savannah, and blue Sophie. How could they not take Rizzo out or make him play that idol?

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

In a world full of terrible role models for young people, I’m so glad there are also smart, joyful and empathetic people like Ms Rachel and Mychal Threets.

What are we doing?

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?
