Former President Joe Biden takes a jab at Donald Trump at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"These are bad times right now. We're in a tough spot, folks. We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values that we have."

Hi everybody. I thought I would add my two cents to this discussion about Iran. All I can do is reflect on my 91 years on this earth. I remember presidents telling the American people about small incidents our country was getting involved in, like Iraq and Afghanistan. 🇺🇸

“For me, the most ironic token of [the first human moon landing] is the plaque signed by President Richard M. Nixon that Apollo 11 took to the moon. It reads: 'We came in peace for all Mankind.' As the United States was dropping 7 ½ megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity. We would harm no one on a lifeless rock.” — Carl Sagan

Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.

oh my goodness she seems to think Special Envoy for the Shield is a real job

Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure.

This needs to be posted everytime the new DHS secretary tries to act tough

Markwayne will be as much, if not more, of a disaster than Cosplay Barbie.

CNN's Kasie Hunt: Do you expect the confirmation of Markwayne Mulling to be bipartisan?

Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT): "Well, Markwayne is -- he's respected, he‘s honest and he‘s competent... people respect Markwayne."

Hunt: "Hmm, interesting."

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.

It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.

• Nearly 90% report annual revenue at under $250,000
• Sales of books by Black authors declined by 14%, despite an increase in overall print sales

Check out the directory: www.nab2.org/state-of-bla...

Black-owned bookstores in the U.S. now have their own directory for the first time ever, launched by the nonprofit National Association of Black Bookstores — who found that:

• There are 306 Black-owned bookstores nationwide (8% of independent bookstores)
• 14 states have no Black-owned bookstore

What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

Something must be done.

Imagine how things could be if we had a real leader like this

Nation’s Dogs Celebrate Noem’s Firing

Oh my my my...

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?

Holy shit, DOJ posted the missing Epstein files containing the sexual assault allegations from one of the victims, who was a teen at the time.

The allegations were against BOTH trump and Epstein.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

If you vote for the new $50 billion supplemental appropriations package, you are voting to force us to pay for more of this.

Ryan to Colby: "In his victory speech, Trump said, 'I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.' How can we consider that anything but a straight up betrayal? I think you are lying to the American people about it, I think the VP is lying about it, I think the president is lying about it."

Is the great economy in the room now?

“My little girl was completely burned,” he said. “There was nothing left of her. We could only identify her from her school bag, which she was still holding. She was completely burned.”

Never forget.

So bad at your job that Donald Trump fires you, is a new level.

Here is Trump's new pick to be Secty of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin getting so rattled in a Senate hearing by union leader Sean O'Brien that he threatens to fight him. Imagine how much Mullin would freak out in a real crisis?!!
