People who care about America (right now, this seems to be just the Democrats) should hold a ceremony today in front of this long-delayed plaque.
His cowardice is on full display. Behold, Trump's pick for the next Secretary of Homeland 'Security'. Cowardice.
Adam Schiff: We are unquestionably at war now. The founders made an extraordinary decision at the time, which was not to give that power to the president, but to give it to the Congress. As Hamilton said, a president would grow too fond of making war.
Don Lemon: Donald Trump is not a king.
I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
You might be right. And I wonder how Iraq 2.0, boots on the ground to defend shipping lanes to keep the stock market from taking, will go over in the next 3 years of US elections.
The fuck you mean? Put the money in the bag.
Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)
A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, βKristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Trainβ

My assessment of Markwayne Mullin stands. He isnβt qualified to be either a Senator or DHS Secretary. I canβt think of anything he is qualified for.
Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. Itβs the third payroll decline in the past five months.
πNote: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.

Firing Kristi Noem is not enough.
She must be prosecuted.
She must be punished.
Justice must be served.
This simply doesn't seem all that far-fetched and needs to be investigated.
Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'
βSome of you will die, and thatβs a sacrifice Iβm willing to makeβ
JB Pritzker, reminding Kristi Noem that although she's been fired by the pedophile fΓΌhrer, she's still going to prison when the fascist authoritarian regime's reign of terror comes to its inevitable end. π³π
Holy shit
It would be wrong not to!
Voters, to Ron:
did he just forget what the subject was in the middle here?
have they merged their stupid, bad bills into one Voltron stupid, bad bill?
is he off his meds?
An Iranian warship destroyed in a US torpedo strike on Wednesday was "defenceless" and participating in an international naval exercise as a guest of the Indian navy, according to reports. Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal said βthe Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk [sic] part in our Milan exerciseβ. Sibal added that because it was taking part in an exercise βit was defencelessβ. Indian politician Supriya Shrinate said on social media: "These Iranian navy men parading at an event in India, were our guests. Invited by us. "US submarine targeted their ship and killed them while they were returning home." Shrinate also criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his failure to make a statement on the attack.
The Iranian warship that was bombed by the US was unarmed

Indeed. Of course the Tea Party was also secretly financed by the Kochs and others, while thereβs no similar slush fund on the left.
GET UNDER THE BUS NOEM
Yes, newsrooms are laying off climate reporters left and right. (Our podcast producer was recently laid off by CBS News)
But our story today shows that layoffs aren't the only way climate coverage gets suppressed.
More often, it's death by 1000 cuts

So youβre not mentioning how Sheena assaulted the Marine veteran and, per video evidence, broke his arm?
Serial killers often start off with animals, I hear
Wow.
