While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

How many times exactly does Trump have to hand billions to rich people or destroy the safety net before the media stops calling him a populist?
Every article by a 'savvy' political analyst reads like a focus group transcript with a low-information voter.

Rep. @raskin.house.gov has asked for a recorded vote on the Epstein Files bill.
That is occurring now.
Smart move by Raskin.

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

So after days of Republicans blaming and vilifying Democrats and trans people for Kirk’s murder despite having no clue who the person was, we find out it’s a white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loved guns.

While we're all discussing how it's wrong to murder someone, let's not forget this:
Democrats are amplifying pressure on the Trump administration to produce evidence that last week’s military strike in the Caribbean Sea killed 11 drug smugglers, as lawmakers from both parties question the legal basis for the surprise use of force.
Democrats pressure Trump to show proof deadly boat strike was legal
The incident has frustrated lawmakers from both parties who’ve questioned why the administration has not publicly disclosed evidence to back up its claims.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

It is impossible to overstate the inanity of the vapid and stupid stunt of renaming the Defense Department, and Congress should step in and put a stop to it immediately.

He is not. Why is all the coverage so bad at this?! He’s asking Congress to do so, since the name is fixed in law, and in the meantime making up a process to call it whatever he wants.

NEW: Donald Trump to rename the Department of Defense the “Department of War”
“Restoring the name Dept of War will sharpen the focus of the Dept on our national interest and signal to adversaries America’s readiness to wage war to defend its interests.”

Thank you.
"Democrats should be doing press conferences every day" or "we should bring back fireside chats" - Dems already do these things. The media doesn't cover them, social media doesn't amplify them (unless a Dem says something stupid) and no one watches or listens to them.
