Yes, JD. Letโ€™s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Letโ€™s ask everyone running for office.

After viewing the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota- he then proceeds to lie about EVERYTHING in it, aside from the fact that it is, indeed, "a horrible thing to watch."

Opinion | Donโ€™t Call It Regime Change. This Is Something Else Entirely.

As of Monday, all of Venezuelaโ€™s ruling officials aside from Maduro appear to have remained in their posts, including Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lรณpez and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who controls the police and was known as one of Maduroโ€™s most fearsome enforcers.

Sen. Mark Kelly fires back after Hegseth threatens his rank and retirement pay Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has launched administrative action against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain and astronaut, which could affect Kelly's rank and retirement pay.

"Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn't like, they will come after them the same way. It's outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that," Kelly added.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldnโ€™t know anything about that.

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors.

Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is.
It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace.
It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.

If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Only mean people like Donald Trump. Heโ€™s the King of Mean. Look at your MAGA family and friends, if you still have any, and look for the mean streak. Youโ€™ll find it.

Shadowing Trumpโ€™s attacks on mental fitness โ€” his own fatherโ€™s dementia As Trump accuses Biden of being โ€œcognitively impaired,โ€ he avoids mention of his fatherโ€™s Alzheimerโ€™s disease โ€” an experience that shaped Trumpโ€™s views of the condition.

It's not JUST that Trump is incompetent, corrupt, racist, and criminal, he is DEFINITELY showing signs of dementia. His father died with an advanced case of it, and YES the condition IS inheritable.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. Thatโ€™s why theyโ€™re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Me, on Lindsey Halligan's debut as a not-legally-appointed prosecutor who told the court she had never seen a document she filed that had her signature on it:

"If what happened to her had happened to me, I'd want to crawl under a rock and never be heard from again."
