This is a very important watch. www.youtube.com/live/iXqQ_yk...

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

Go get ‘em #Newsom!!! youtube.com/live/0n77NFj...

This veteran is delivering a powerful #CupOfJoe to the US National Guard & all other troops who may be be summoned to deploy into LA or other city. Remember your oaths & fallow the constitution. Worth a share. Stay safe out there.

New @budgetlab.bsky.social analysis of Big Beautiful Bill: In the short run, bill would modestly boost GDP growth (0.2 %age point/year 2025-2027) After that it SLOWS growth. By 2054, GDP level is nearly 3% smaller than it would have been if the bill were not passed budgetlab.yale.edu/research/lon...

Reporter: There’s a pretty good chance Trump might be watching Newsom: I hope so, he might learn something— rescind this order— it’s illegal. You’re creating the conditions you claim you’re solving and you’re not

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

So happy for Omaha! John will be a great candidate and the leader in Congress we desperately need at this time. It is one thing to speak out against policies, but it is another to actually vote that way. #BlueDot

I think maybe it's hard to see what's wrong with this, because obviously the government already HAS your social security data. The problem is that in 1974 we anticipated the ill effects of conjoining data to create detailed, granular dossiers on individuals. That's why the Data Privacy Act is a law.

Awkward way for Joni Ernst to find out she isn’t funny. Let’s stop sending people like Joni Ernst and Lindsey Graham to the Senate.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Who will tell the president what the Constitution requires? Certainly not Attorney General Bondi. And certainly not this nominee for the Office of Legal Counsel.

9/29/2023— General Milley farewell speech: “We don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don't take an oath to a religion, we don't take an oath to a king or queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator, and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.” Never forget our country and Constitution come before any man.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Take a few minutes for this one—because you might need FEMA in the near future, and you need to know what’s currently going on. Or not going on. Thank you, @repjasmine.bsky.social for telling it straight, sounding the alarm, and sharing how we can help.

More than 9,000 American service members are buried at Normandy, where they died to protect democracy. We owe not just gratitude, but eternal vigilance to them and all who have sacrificed their lives for our country. #MemorialDay

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

Make this make sense. 🤷🏼‍♂️

MUST WATCH! The numbers don't lie, this bill doesn't just cut Medicaid, it adds $20 trillion in new debt. #HealthCareCutsKill
