If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Why are we tanking the market for a completely pointless trade war with our allies again?

If you’re arguing that trade deficits are always bad (they’re not, but let’s pretend), Canada is only 7% of our deficit.

Why aren’t we focused on a larger problem?

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
Elon Musk says he wants to “eliminate” programs like Social Security and Medicare: “Entitlements... That’s the big one to eliminate”

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster.

Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

The US and Canada share quite possibly the most integrated bilateral relationship in the world.

We cooperate on everything from economics to defense to intelligence.

Could someone in MAGAland explain to me how a completely avoidable trade war with our closest partner helps us?

A bunch of Trump’s most influential advisors are advocating for the US to leave NATO and the UN.

Short-sighted, reactionary morons.

You should really ask yourselves why anyone that has the US interests at heart would want us to leave the most powerful alliance in history.

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​"

Trump’s behavior in the Oval Office with Zelensky was an unparalleled break with American foreign policy.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates.

It’s a lie.

The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe.

His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

DEI isn’t saying to white people you won’t get the job at the Air Force because you are white. It’s saying to black kids who grew up in a tough environment, if you don’t think you can fly a jet for the Air Force , guess what you can!

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
