I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.
He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.
Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.
So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Lay back and listen to this song. Meditate on a world filled with peace. A world where we embrace that we are dust and to dust we shall return. A world where we understand we are particles of the same adventure and journey. Imagine how it would be if we did not think of self and self alone.

Make a note of how easily Trump dismisses people from where they live. Oh wait… this sounds familiar.
Trump says he wants Jordan and Egypt to take in Palestinians from Gaza.
The president spoke ahead of a meeting with the Israeli prime minister at the White House, his first in-person meeting with another world leader since returning to power.
