I worry that it’s too much to expect careers military officers to speak up about this, but Jess is right: this is a shocking breach of American traditions. George Washington is rolling in his grave.

No no no! These university leaders don’t get it. If you negotiate one on one you don’t buy peace; you just expose the whole sector and yourselves to more shakedowns. See law firms. The only response is to unite in collective action and fight the Admin’s illegality. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

While you were sleeping, House Republicans rammed through a bill that kills rooftop solar, clean manufacturing, heat pumps for everyday Americans, clean energy projects, and funding to cut pollution. Now it's up to the Senate to stop this bill from jacking up energy bills and torching the economy.

Trump and Rubio are enabling far worse conditions in Gaza than Biden and Blinken did. But as a dedicated Leftist podcaster, I never talk about this because they're neither Democrats nor Jewish.

He got a lot of glowing press because journalists and elites all fall head over heels for random people in hard hats, but let's be clear: Randy Bryce is among the WORST candidates Democrats have ever fielded in a swing seat. If they pick him, they will lose handily.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Yes, the level of invention, fiction and fanatacism here hard to put into words. This bill is going to explode the deficit which is a reason Moody’s downgraded. They cannot admit to the clear “sky is blue” reality of what they are doing.

Let's be real: if Republicans pass the House budget bill as is, it will murder the US nuclear industry, ruin our chances of winning the AI race (by constraining power supply), concede the global auto sector to China, and vaporize about half a trillion dollars of US manufacturing investment...

I will block any arms sale to a nation that is doing direct personal business with Trump. We should have a full Senate debate and vote. UAE's investment in Trump crypto and Qatar's gifting of a plane is nuclear grade graft. An unacceptable corruption of our foreign policy.
