The SecState explanation of the essence & origin of the 28 pt plan presented to Ukraine BY THE US is a strong indicator of the lack of competence of those representing our nation in these efforts.
Russia does these things. It’s well known. Smart negotiators know not to let them happen.

This seems like something that we should be concerned about.
The SecDef wants all service commanders and their senior enlisted advisors to come to Quantico on short notice. It’s difficult to understand why.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The Trump “migrant crime” smear tactic comes straight out of the Nazi playbook. Trump has been pushing this narrative since his 5th day in office. In January 2017, he ordered his new administration to publish weekly lists of crimes committed by migrants — which is exactly what the Nazis did to Jews.

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country."

So is it just a GA thing? The 2026 GOP Campaign commercials have started here already. Every single one I've seen (literally 2-3 x per hour on some channels) is transphobic and/or xenophobic. It is sickening how much they are trying to dehumanize anyone who isn't Straight, White and Christian.

There was a tornado here tonight. The sirens went off because enough people saw it and called 911. But there was no warning issued by the Natl Weather Svc, no alerts on our phones, no cut ins on TV. If you couldn't hear the sirens, there was no warning.
This does not bode well for tornado season.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
