Dividing the world into “the left” and “the right” is a gross over-simplification designed to divide and conquer. Even worse is the the part-whole fallacy—point to bad behavior by some members of a group and blame the entire group. Plus, it’s inaccurate. See Trump.
And both murders were horrific.

Rand Paul, who hand delivered a note from Trump to Putin with unknown contents, wanted to get rid of the espionage act. Here is a reminder from Senator John McCain that Rand Paul and Donald Trump work for Vladimir Putin.

WSJ has an interesting visual on Trump's pardons, and I'm glad for the increased focus.
One thing that's missing, IMO, is a focus on who is harmed by these pardons.

As newsrooms shutter and paywalls rise elsewhere, public media delivers critical, unbiased reporting without fear or favor. That's the promise of a free press in a democracy.

Today is International Anti-Corruption Day, & one of the biggest problems on this Earth is the Trump administration. I love America and I never thought I would see rampant corruption here. Trump is a felon. The theme this year is "Uniting with Youth Against Corruption: Shaping Tomorrow's Integrity."

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.
I wish people could finally accept this.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
