Obama prevented Iran from developing a nuclear weapon with his words. Trump couldn't do it with bombs. Peace through strength is a myth.

Politicians are not responsible for the violence committed by their supporters *only* when they have sought to avoid and discourage that violence.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders spent years lying for Trump, backing every cruel policy, and cozying up to MAGA like it was a career plan. Now her state’s in crisis, and Trump basically gave her the middle finger.

Senator Van Hollen cannot be any more clear as to what this is all about.
It’s about the rule of law. Period. Not the whims of an authoritarian or our feelings toward any individual.
If you allow it to be dismissed for even one person. Any person. You risk suffering the same fate.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

This was the @mlb.com press release. Notice there is no mention of why we honor Robinson. There is no mention of the reason on the web link they provide. I am disappointed that the game I love is bending the knee to the convicted felon. Rob Manfred should be ashamed of this spineless acquiescence.

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU.
China doesn't pay a single penny.
You, the consumer, do.

For the life of me, I don’t understand why the lack of due process for a plane load of immigrants, many of them here legally, isn’t the main story everywhere. WITHOUT DUE PROCESS FOR EVERYONE THERE IS DUE PROCESS FOR NO ONE. Without the rule of law, democracy is dead.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated
Why?
Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole
Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

It is your patriotic duty to listen to this speech. Every single word. An essential guide to the deep, unfathomable corruption the new Trump administration is carrying out on a daily basis.
The corruption is so blatant and frequent as to anesthetize us against seeing it as problematic and demanding that it stop. Do not be dulled into thinking it’s okay. Great speech by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social youtu.be/hycoCYenXls?...

So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.
Like huh it’s almost as if this information is inconsistent with the government’s representations in court that Amy Gleason, not Musk, is in charge of DOGE, and that agency heads, not DOGE, are responsible for the cuts
