Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly 15h Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can't give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine's security and can't be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it's important we stand with Ukraine.

This is what Repub sources are concerned about?!? Ugh.
"The Republicans who spoke to WIRED for this story all requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. They are all generally supportive of the DOGE initiatives. but share varying degrees of concern about Musk harming Trump's image, and felt compelled to speak up out of an urge to protect the boss. (Trump meanwhile, has continued to back Musk publicly with enthusiastic praise for DOGE's cuts, most recently with a flattering introduction before Musk held court at Wednesday's cabinet meeting.)"

But Trump just cut off legal aid for unaccompanied immigrant kids-many of them fleeing violence, some just months old. A toddler can't argue their own asylum case.

"Every child a world"

Regardless of how I feel about Israel's war crimes in Gaza/Palestine, & I have many feels, I'll never get past what Hamas et al did to children on & post 7.10, even if IDF ultimately killed them.
Segment from the link above. "I might, very gently, remind you that Hamas- an unreliable narrator, without doubt- has been asserting consistently that the Bibas family was killed by Israeli airstrikes in November, 2023. And the Netanyahu government- another unreliable narrator- has refused to confirm or conclusively deny this. So, again, as Rabbi Hugenholtz notes: Complicated. Grief. The loss is real, regardless. Their deaths horrific, no matter how." Another segment from the shared link "So: On Oct 12, 2023, my first words after this cycle of horrors began, I wrote, "Nobody's children should be killed. Nobody's."' That's still always, always true These babies, this mother, this elder should have lived, no matter what. There is nothing that justifies their deaths. And it is simultaneously true that the Palestinian infants, toddlers, children murdered in bombings by freezing, by hunger do not matter less than these babies. Not a single one matters less Every child, a world..."

Examples of statements made by James Rodden, ICE Chief Assistant General Counsel, include: 'America is a white country, founded by whites,' and 'Al Blacks are foreign people, dumb fuck.'

Exchange between DOJ attorney and Judge regarding pronoun usage in the military.
REYES: Can we agree that the greatest fighting force... is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1 percent of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them? DOJ ATTORNEY: I can't agree with that here. REYES: Would you agree with me that if our military is negatively impacted in any kind of way that matters... We all have a lot bigger problems than pronoun use. We have a military that is incompetent. Any common sense rational human being knows that it doesn't. It is pretext. It is frankly ridiculous. If you want to get me an officer of the U.S. military who is willing to get on the stand and say that because of pronoun usage the U.S. military is less prepared because of pronoun usage.
