Imaging being personally blocked by the sitting President of the United States, and wearing it like a badge of honor. When speaking truth to power gets you banned, you know you are doing something right. Thanks for the honor, @realDonaldTrump. This one is getting framed.

Prosecute the drunk! He has an obscene amount of blood on his hands!
@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

In America, crimes don’t decide your fate — your bank balance does. If you’re poor, it grinds you into the pavement. Justice isn’t blind — she just charges admission, and only the wealthy can afford the ticket.

The hippies aren’t in their 90s, many aren’t 80. We learned about Nazis, lived through & marched against Nixon, Vietnam “Police Action,” return of the draft, fall of the Berlin Wall & Soviet Union & 2 illegitimate wars after 9/11. We see you, so do our kids & grands.

Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.

Throwing the admiral under the bus.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

Bipartisan deal on Ohio congressional map redraw. It’s a slightly more gerrymandered map that will likely result in 1 R seat giving them an 11-4 edge. It was the best map Ds could get given the supermajority Rs have. It also preserves CD-13 & Summit Co remains whole.
