From axing West Point’s Black history program to gutting women’s support groups, Brigadier Gen. Ty Seidule (Ret.) says the environment for young officers is “extraordinarily hard.” He argues that those serving now are doing so in the toughest conditions in years.

When Christians tie Christianity to a particular political figure and party, not only do they fuse the reputation of Christianity to everything that political movement does, they become more shaped by the ways of that political movement than they do by the ways of Jesus.

If Jesus said his disciples would be known by their love for others, then when we claim to follow him but we are known for our bullying, our mockery, our callousness, and our contempt for others, we are actively taking his name in vain.

Love must be our reputation.

Trump has found a terrifyingly effective way to eliminate bad news: delete the data.

From hunger and poverty stats to foreign investment numbers, federal agencies are being gutted—making it harder to measure the impact of his policies.

The ineptitude and corruption is astounding.
Justice Dept. acknowledges full grand jury never saw final Comey indictment
The acknowledgement came during a hearing in which a federal judge heard the former FBI director’s arguments that he is the target of a vindictive prosecution.

"things happen"
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

The House Republicans made a tactical mistake by being on vacation on the day the government shut down.

The average person doesn’t understand everything. But they do understand being gone and appearing to not even try.

There have been 5 government shutdowns in the last 30 years.

And if we have one tonight, that means HALF of the government shutdowns over the last 30 years have begun when Donald Trump was President and his party controlled all of Congress.

And ALL SIX started when the GOP controlled the House.

Fascists.

Abolish ICE.
ICE badly injure 80-year-old U.S. citizen who owns the car wash—leave him with broken ribs & dislocated elbow.

"They told me: ‘You don’t F with ICE! We are here!’ and then threw me on the floor."

"I told them I'm an old man and need my heart medication, but they said ‘No!’"
