Media is so pathetic parroting BS that Musk’s doing “savings” by finding “waste.” Just about every outlet has said that. It’s obviously false. And you fell for this trick already! He says “free speech,” it looks like BS, he then does the literal opposite, and you still say it! Have some integrity.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

This will never happen. It didn't happen with Newt Gingrich's contract on America. It didn't happen with George W. Bush's disatrous war-mongering presidency. Too many "conservative" voters are too addicted to blundering cruelty as a mode of government.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

as a medievalist, as a church historian, let me say that within the long history of Christianity, I cannot emphasize enough how actually normal this is. this is Constantine, Charlemagne, Frederick Barbarossa, Louis IX, even Henry VIII! this is still Christianity, as empire-hungry as it is.
