Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—

Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—

I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

BREAKING: Trump says that Every American, who isn't a High Income earner, will get $2000 in Cash.

In other words he wants to issue a stimulus check because the economy is sucking.

In other words he wants to increase our deficit by $650 BILLION.

As you think about that question I would note that Emmitt Till was born in 1941. 19 years AFTER the House first voted to make lynching a crime. He was lynched in 1955. 67 years BEFORE the Senate would make lynching illegal in his name. And he's just one of the few victims who's names we know.

"We need solid guarantees that they won't simply renege"

What kind of guarantee can you possibly get from a regime that has been lying and breaking the law from the word go.

Hold the damn line.
@schiff.senate.gov is supporting Schumer's deal but is worried:
"They're telling us they're going to cheat on an agreement, and we need in whatever agreement we reach, to have some really solid guarantees in that legislation that they simply can't go and renege after it's done."
Schiff dismisses Trump's call to send Obamacare subsidies directly to people
Schiff suggests Republicans would "cheat" on any agreement Democrats ultimately reach with them in order to end the government shutdown.

“I do have a problem with Islam ... I think it’s totally incompatible with Western values and I don’t think people who practice Islam should be the leaders of America. I just don’t. That’s how I feel and I’m entitled to that belief because Islam is more than a religion. It's a political ideology.”
“Megyn Kelly doesn’t think Muslims should hold office in America”. Meanwhile, “pro-Israel right-wingers…who seemed comfortable with intolerance when it was directed at Blacks, immigrants, trans people and other marginalized groups, are shocked (shocked!) that their former friends also hate Jews.”
Opinion | Megyn Kelly’s xenophobic rant against Zohran Mamdani is as MAGA as it gets
Amid an ideological civil war over antisemites in the MAGA movement, the right-wing podcast superstar unleashed a xenophobic attack on Zohran Mamdani.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

A future vote on the ACA tax credits is not enough.

The American people about to lose their health care need results, not votes.

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,

not because the voters want them to,

not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…

they are caving because their DONORS want them to.

And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

when interviewed why don't the democrats say it this way.

"we'll vote to fund the government when the repubs turn health care back on, and btw also food for US citizens."

make it really clear, repetitively, that the repubs could end this by doing the right thing, being human, not being terrorists.

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.
Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

So I decided to go on social and see what it was all about. Well it's not free speech. I lasted 6 hours before I was kicked off permanently. I just had to correct them on a few things. The truth they do not like.

I don't ever agree with Trump on anything however I do agree with him with one thing Ukraine could win everything back if the United States would give them the weapons that they need and in the supply that they need. It is partly America's fault for being slow at giving the weapons.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Let's not be silent. Let's be loud and clear about what this government is and what the Republican party has allowed to happen. They all need to grow some spines in both parties. And those who speak all of this hate day in and day out for profit well sometimes it comes back at you ask Charlie Kirk
