Congress just failed to pass a War Powers resolution. Your representatives couldn't find the spine to assert the authority the Constitution explicitly gives them. Nobody asked you. Nobody asked them either — because asking was never the point.

Why the First Shots in an Iran Ground War Could Come From the Kurds Israel and the U.S. have been courting an ethnic group frustrated by rule from Tehran.

If a ground war is to be fought in Iran, the first shots could be fired in the country’s Kurdish areas, where militias say they are preparing to take on Tehran—if they think they can win.

I can't read the article, could someone explain why they are under fire for rejecting it?

U.S. Sticks by Air and Naval Power in Drone Age Despite the excitement over how drones have revolutionized warfare, U.S. strikes on Iran show that jet fighters and naval ships remain the primary tools for the Pentagon.

We need Principles above labels. We've been sorted into warring tribes. The Founders gave us common ground -Adams’ ease, comfort, security, in a word, Happiness.

A top-down closeup photo of a pale yellow flower with serrated-tip petals, with the ground and leaves below out of focus. There are two little moths in the flower; the moths have a fuzzy gray thorax, and cream-colored wings with thin bands and edges of deep pink.

These pretty, day-flying moths (Heliolonche pictipennis), only about 1 cm. long, are one of my favorite desert spring insects. The only flowers they visit (desert dandelion, desert chicory, or scale bud) close up at night; the moths sleep inside them, which is scientifically adorable. #BugSky 🌿🐙🌼

DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files — including Trump allegations — were removed.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has previously stated that the Justice Department only withheld duplicate files. Which was a lie.

Five Republicans just voted with Democrats to subpoena AG Bondi over Epstein files.

She will now need to sit for a deposition under oath.

Trump is losing his grip on his party, over both Epstein and his deepening unpopularity.

Keep speaking up. It's working.

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

CORREA: What do you suggest I tell my constituents? Have a passport with you all the time?

NOEM: No. I would tell your citizens to be grateful they live in this country where President Trump is upholding the law. We will help them self-deport.

CORREA: These are American citzens!

Probably, the only difference would be that Israel would have striked first.

This country needs to take mental health more seriously.

Then what is it?

Good to hear. The food industry is way too consolidated. The top 100 "brands" shouldn't lead back to 3 to 5 companies.

I’m arguing that economic justice is not “un-American.”
John Adams defined the purpose of government as ease, comfort, and security.
Thomas Paine argued that extreme wealth owes a debt back to society.
This account is about reclaiming American identity from oligarchy — using the Founders’ own words.

The Declaration of Independence says that we not only have the right but we also have the duty to alter or abolish any government that does not secure our unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
