To be clear: Vance and Trump blew this up on purpose. Yet another gift to Putin. Pathetic.

Grifters like Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk are profiting from AZ's universal ESA voucher scheme — opening discriminatory private schools that drain funding from our public schools. Now, the Trump administration is trying to push this same model across the nation 😡

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't. "I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage … and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Folks have asked for my thoughts on former Senator Menendez getting 11 years. He betrayed public trust. He took bribes in his official capacity, and he obstructed justice. Like anyone else who is guilty of these crimes, he deserves prison.

I hope folks understand what’s happening here. Some in the administration view concentration camps inside the US as maybe a bridge too far. So they’re starting with Guantanamo Bay, away from prying eyes and 24/7 coverage.

I wonder how Rep Senator Tim Young is feeling right now. The Revenge Tariffs from Columbia are really bad for our farmers (and also bad for Colombia. 96.7 % of their corn for livestock comes from the USA ) Again I think this ends fast. But it’s interesting www.legistorm.com/stormfeed/vi...

On today’s episode of “if Obama” If Obama fired over a dozen inspectors general in the middle of the night, the media would have (appropriately) excoriated him over the illegality and absolutely tanked his approval ratings Trump does it, and CNN calls it a “shakeup” Shameful.

Listening to the mother of former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone describing on @joy.msnbc.com how she has been harassed and menaced is making my chest so tight. If your police union hasn’t condemned this conduct if, as a Member of Congress, you’ve condoned these pardons, you are a disgrace.

You know you’re a bad guy when your name evokes negative feelings. Donal J Trump has joined the ranks of Hitler, Stalin, and Satan. Just the sound of his name alone evokes disgust and hatred. Hearing it causes me to cringe. Imagine your name doing that.

Ann Telnaes resigned after the Washington Post editorial page killed her cartoon. It’s worth a share. Big Tech executives are bending the knee to Donald Trump and it’s no surprise why: Billionaires like Jeff Bezos like paying a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

What a life, what a legacy. R.I.P president Carter. Not many can claim to be architects of eliminating a neglected tropical disease. I will remember him for his dedication to ending guinea worm and for all the homes built by habitat for humanity. All else are footnotes. www.ajc.com/news/former-...

When The Carter Center began leading the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases in at least 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, that number has been reduced by more than 99.99%. In 2024 so far there have been 7 cases. #legacy
