Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

We have a President who is employed by Russia & Putin, & his cult of traitors supports that. No other major party leader in American history has been a full time employee of a foreign leader, no less a bloodthirsty dictator.
We need to ask ourselves why we are allowing our military to ignore this.

How about a Discharge Petition in the House of Representatives calling for the termination of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Put every GOP member of the House on the record & in the history books for either betraying America's national security, or doing the right thing and voting to fire him.
