Rejector of our ongoing political fecklessness. What happened to civic engagement? Tans more, rusts less these days.

This is brain rot stuff. The ship sinking in particular, not the girls' school bombing. Let's try to color within the lines, eh?

Don't disagree that Hegseth deserves a conviction. But apples and oranges.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

The country is going to hell due to the large number of stupid, greedy & bigoted people in America, but at least the rest of us still have sarcasm.

Interesting metric would be how many of Ford's compliment re-up their commitments when they come up? Of course that's down the road, but jeez what a morale popper.

This was a failure to maintain situationship. That actually requires some pretty advanced relationship and communication skills. Not something 12 year olds can muster.

I'm proud to be running for the Georgia Court of Appeals. Let’s get to work.

The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.

So the lower upper, middle upper and upper upper are all blasted off the launchers and irreplaceable in the shorter term? Seems to be the implication of this bizarre parsing.

That's not good. On so many levels.

it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor

I think I do not want to see any more special forces soldiers elected to office. They all bring rot, and little more to every discussion.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

It's all panic now. Colossal error, Trump style.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

The idea that five integrated units are tightly collocated seems kind of nuts here. I'm sure it all made sense before, and wonder what it will become going forward.

He is going to be responsible for actually defending the homeland with this war. Does he understand that?

MarkyW should run, run, run from this position. Shows just how dump he also is...

I think he knows he is target number one.

Opinion | Putin is failing. These charts prove it. Data from the battlefield show Ukraine is holding its own.

β€œU.S. pressure on Ukraine is encouraging Putin to keep fighting and refrain from making compromises necessary for an enduring peace….The way to end this war is not to rescue Putin from a failing campaign, but to help Ukraine make it fail faster.”

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.

But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.

People! What's going on here?

Empathy is always a good starting place; not sure where this has gone.

Funny you should mention food, because this shock is absolutely going to rock the already crushed US agricultural industry. Between increased fuel costs and no labor, I will be surprised more is left fallow this season.

Opinion | He Didn’t Kill Anyone. Alabama Is About to Execute Him Anyway.

Alabama is preparing to execute a 75-year-old man who 35 years ago participated in an armed robbery, left the site, and whose friend then killed someone. The friend was already resentenced to life without parole, but this man still is scheduled to be put to death www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/o...

So in six months they will have broken everything that they can, and will still have not an answer for any of it?
