Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

The Trump administration moved this week to end longstanding protections barring ICE from conducting raids in hospitals and medical clinics. This decision is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making.

In the latest escalation of rank government #corruption, America’s first convicted felon #POTUS instructed the US Government to target his political enemies. Thanks to the corrupt #SCOTUS 2024 decision, corrupt official actions are immune. #GiftArticle #greed #Fascism #corruption wapo.st/3EEFVwD

I’ve seen a very heartening number of Jewish people loudly proclaim that they don’t want to see due process gutted in the name of protecting them and I think it’s time we started to see more of that from Christians

I don’t believe in God. I don’t believe in Satan. I believe in reality and I wish my Republican friends and neighbors did too. There is one true objective reality. There are news sites that can help you understand it. And there are new sites that lie to you for their owners. #atheism #epistemology

“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

Rudy Giuliani is financially ruined for the lies he told about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Keep that in mind as Pam Bondi and Steven Miller smear Kilmar Abrego Garcia with baseless accusations of terrorism. #Garcia

Kaitlan Collins to Homan: "You say everything was done right here and I heard Stephen Miller in the Oval Office also argue he was lawfully deported. But this administration has admitted in court that he was mistakenly deported, that he should not have been deported."

For those breaking the constitution on behalf of Donald Trump with the assumption that he has your back: he may. But he’s 78, never exercised in his life, and will be president max another 3.5 years. There will be not statute of limitations for violating it

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.
