Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA
There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.
Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled
A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

We need a complete and total shutdown on right wing pseudo-intellectuals bloviating about how their substack posts are bravely defending the foundations of “Western civilization” against the radical left onslaught until we can determine if their ideas made more sense in the original German.
There’s a lot in Bari Weiss’ 2023 FedSoc speech that merits scrutiny but I think the Times did a disservice by closing with this quote — given what she says immediately after. fedsoc.org/commentary/f...

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Just a quick note: Federalizing the D.C. National Guard is not the same thing as “martial law.” I’m not saying that makes it good, but martial law is when the military *supplants* civil government, not just doing law enforcement. Don’t credit him with more power than he has (because he’ll take it)

They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate.

The evils ICE carries out can't be overstated. Look at the cruelty they are inflicting on this one family—out of many.
These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.
This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.
"I can't breathe."

It’s not Zelensky’s war or Biden’s war or Trump’s war.
It is Putin’s war.
Why can’t Trump simply say that? Why is he obsessed with blaming everyone else? It is a simple and obvious truth that should be stated with moral clarity.
But the US president is a liar and a coward.
