Remember when Fox News settled a defamation suit for $800m because it lied about the 2020 election and then all the Fox News watchers kept watching it?

I never again want to hear about how the Republican Party is the party of national security. You don’t incinerate our diplomatic capacity & violate all of our treaty commitments if you care about national security.
Context for Trump withdrawing dozens of ambassadors
*China has invested heavily in expanding diplomacy
*The US has significantly degraded soft power
*The US already has scores of diplomatic vacancies

America sent 12 Tomahawks to pound the sands of northwestern Nigeria. So, you should know about their precarious production rates.

Danes lost the most per capita in America's war in Afghanistan. Canada lost the second most per capita (if we discount the tiny Baltics).
Allies bled for the US after 9/11, and this is the thanks they get.

Again, it is utterly shameful & demonstrates the total failure of all of our political institutions that threatening our closest NATO allies with territorial conquest has not immediately ended this presidency.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The University of Oklahoma fired an instructor for failing a student who wrote a reaction paper without having read the text she was supposed to react to.
By definition she failed to satisfy the requirements of the assignment—which she publicly disclosed before the decision to fire the instructor.
