“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead.” ― Albert Einstein

I’m all for a good pop-tart, but this looks half-baked and laced with toxins.
But there was an awkward moment for me. I accidently ended up in an elevator with Harold Hamm himself (and his security team.) Oh yes indeed. They weren’t happy-- as one of his aides recognized me. I was escorted out by security--without a Trump pop-tart gift

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

I wholeheartedly agree with the premise of this article; however, the twin analogy gives me pause. Romulus murdered Remus, Cain murdered Abel, Set murdered Osiris, the list goes on with evil vs. good twins. Is it possible for the far right and far left to emulate Castor and Pollux?
Our job is to build a coalition of the reasonable — liberals, conservatives, independents — anyone who believes in truth, pluralism, and peaceful power

In the end, it’s not about left vs. right
It’s about democracy vs. extremism
Faith vs. fear
Freedom vs. control

Clawing back federal funding that was already allocated by Congress sets dangerous precedence. Small US businesses, many in red states, have already invested millions to meet manufacturing for hydrogen equipment. They will not be reimbursed the % of cost promised by the feds and likely go bankrupt.

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein.

This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov won't stop until the truth comes to light.

Math is challenging for Donald. He won the popular vote in 2024 by 2,284,967. Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 by 2,865,075. Media is expected to massage numbers and polling data to suit the storyline of huge support and a mandate of the people. Facts matter. Math matters.
If Fox loses their license suddenly, don't be shocked.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome
