We are a web of generations united for inclusive policies, compassionate spending, radical kindness, and sweeping, courageous love. We are fearless resisters, uncompromising in our quest for a society that is just and fair society for all.
I don't think he's throwing excuses against the wall, though I agree that it looks like he is. We know that he's a very deeply flawed malignant narcissist. He has few deep convictions other than that people who aren't white are bad and that tariffs work. We know that he goes through life not in the
This would be one of those pesky intelligence reports that a child might not consider - thinking if he does not look at it, it will not prove true.
The defense secretary appears unable to approach matters of life and death with even the slightest bit of reverence or humility. This makes the USA look like a cartoon as we head into yet another war.
It took a half century to build New College into a sanctuary of independent thought and less than a year to destroy it.
This is the kind of thing that Congress could do something about and it doesn't seem like it would take that much courage.
The Minnesota crackdown showed the sweep of the surveillance and capture system the Trump administration is using to capture immigrants.
America is not great when clinicians must turn to home visits to make sure patients don't die.
The National Institutes of Health is the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world, with a mission statement to βenhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness.β
Then the untrained and ill=prepared took over.
Trumpβs self-made crisis has now killed at least six American service members and as of last week more than 120 people in Lebanon are reported dead as the war expands across the Middle East. Pete Hegseth can barely contain his enthusiasm.
The Trump administration has put nations under extreme political pressure to raise defense budgets and buy American weapons, and once paid for, Allies fear those weapons may not be delivered.
Typical bait and switch from Trump and his pals.
Even Ukraine, a nation itself at war and under attack, stands to make money from this latest war in the Mideast.
How will the families of fallen service members feel about the man who sometimes disparages military sacrifice greeting their coffins as the bodies are returned home?
Virginia's legislature has passed a bill prohibiting schools from teaching what it considers to be falsehoods about the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, including portraying it "as peaceful protest."
I said that he was just throwing excuses for war against the wall, to see which one 'sticks'.
A week into Trumpβs war in Iran, his strategy is still a mystery. It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.
There's been a rapid consumption of expensive munitions and the lack of any firm deadline for the end of the military campaign.
This makes Republicans uneasy. They didn't mind when those cuts to the safety net left Americans floundering.
When asked who he would like to be in charge in Iran, βTrump on Tuesday gave a blunt assessment: βMost of the people we had in mind are dead.β www.reuters.com/graphics/IRA...
Here's another thing: when truly incompetent people run a war, things can go deadly wrong in countless ways.
Anybody associated with this administration will soon wish they had not, and they are probably already looking for ways to distance themselves.
Buckle up, everyone. This is going to be a long, bumpy ride.
Now what will he do? If this were any other nation offering help to Iran, DJT would bob them to smithereens.
But he'll not bomb his BFF Putin.
What WILL he do?
Republicans gambled on a new world order. They thought Trump would deliver, and if he does, but loses his throne, they won't care. He's just their useful idiot.
The bombs fell in our name before any of us knew. Then the president saw fit to inform us. But when presidents ask the country to support a war, honesty is not optional. THIS President sees honesty as totally not necessary.
Congress, again, is derelict.
Trump thought his war with Iran would be as Venezuela happenedβa quick decapitation of the regime followed by a swift deal with the leaderβs successor. Instead he caused a regional war.
Trump may have envisioned a second term spent striking deals to resolve wars, but Iran has now sucked him in, too.
Like it did with every POTUS since Ronald Reagan. \
Lindsey Halligan might lose her license, which could serve as a check on administration lawyers accused by judges of pushing the boundaries of the law or misleading the courts. That has happened a lot in recent months, and the FLA Bar is fed up.
The Richmond Standard has little to say about the gas flares, haze, and smoke plumes that shape life in its California community.
Guess why.
Experts and officials say the ruling structure in Tehran has remained surprisingly resilient. Perhaps if he had gamed out the pros and cons of this war, and listened to advisors on the consequences, Trump would have reconsidered.
Once again, the middle class and the economically challenged will feel the pain of poor Trump policies.
He, and his complicit GOP, just shrug.
Seems like DHS' justification for being heavy-handed with protestors simply does not hold up. The officers pepper-spray their fellow Americans with regularity, knock them to the ground & otherwise abuse us.
They, however, are safe in the job.
Conservatives opposed to military intervention overseas put their trust in President Donald Trump as he swept back into power. Why trust a man who lies repeatedly? Why trust his erratic behavior and obvious grift?
Why trust an unrepentant felon?
