It’s telling that only after Goma’s airport closure and the stoppage of mineral exports does Western media show interest. Simplifying the conflict by blaming Rwanda ignores the intricate and deep-rooted issues at play.

Raskin: The chairman began by saying the point here is to restore the rule of law. Can you even pretend to do that if you support Trump who on day one pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists including hundreds of people who violently assaulted police officers…

www.c-span.org/clip/white-h... A true Christian wouldn’t criticize a prayer service for not being “exciting.” This feels less like faith and more like the plot of The Devil’s Advocate.

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Don't be fooled.

Trump is most dangerous when he’s distracting us from his real goals. He’s planning on slashing taxes for the rich, exacting retribution on his political enemies, and demonizing immigrant communities nationwide. We can't get bogged down in his crazy sideshows and distractions.

AI’s reliance on synthetic data raises concerns, but the bigger issue might be the misinformation culture Musk’s own following amplifies. Encouraging scientific literacy could help mitigate both problems.

Trump - no matter how many tantrums you throw, history books will still rank you as one of the worst U.S. presidents. Your presidency will be remembered as one of the lowest points in U.S. history. Congrats on that legacy!

Cooper: Trump chose to attack you, blame you for this. Newsom: People are literally fleeing. People have lost their lives.[Trump] wanted to politicize it… I stood next to Biden. And he had the backs of every single person in this community. He didn't play politics, didn't try to divide any of us.
