Q: "What would have happened to you if you had shared battle plans like this when you were a pilot?" Rep. Mikie Sherrill: "Like everyone else except Pete Hegseth, evidently, I would've been court-marshaled and drummed out of the military. This is absolutely ridiculous."

Really grateful to free photo sites that let you screen out AI stuff. It doesn't always work perfectly but it sure cuts down dramatically on the amount of crap you have to wade through.

This isn't very "Christian" of you...

incredible -- Tammy Bruce spends two minutes on Fox denouncing the NYT for reporting about Trump's plans to slash the State Dept, but then in the next breath broadly confirms their reporting

All of the people on those 3 planes need to be returned immediately and afforded due process. I'm not defending what a few may have done, but I am defending our Constitution and this is unacceptable.

Newest bombshell. I bet those generals are smoking mad.

"Suddenly — signaled by resistance from the nation’s most elite universities — the weaknesses of the nascent Trump authoritarianism, and the potential for resilience within our nation in the face of his lawless assaults, are coming into focus."

Why do media say: “The Trump administration denies any classified information was shared by Hegseth”? We know Hegseth improperly shared secrets about a military attack. We know the president can declassify anything. So whether it's “classified” is irrelevant. It's a Trump dodge, aided by the media.

I'm like a broken record on this, but this stuff needs to be stopped right now and it's of paramount importance. we are staring into the abyss of ethnic cleansing and mass murder in not too long at all. this cannot be come the new normal.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

Elon Musk wants to leave politics. get ready for the rebrand.

It is with deep sadness that we received news of the death of Pope Francis. Our condolences to all Catholic farm worker families in our community. Pope Francis was outspoken in his compassion for workers, immigrants and other marginalized people.

Trump is still pushing the complete lie that Abrego Garcia has “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. In a sane country we’d be talking about impeachment and removal.

The Romans crucified Jesus without due process. So why should we give due process to immigrants?

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," immigrants, and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Trump: *says it was wrong for the IRS to investigate religious leaders and his supporters* Q: “If that was wrong, why are you considering changing the tax status of Harvard?” Trump: “Because I think Harvard is a disgrace…Tax-exempt status is a privilege…it’s been abused.”

It looks like the Trump regime is trying to hide ICE flights from the public tracker.

putting this here for no reason at all

We are now at the point where the AP can write this as if its a simple background fact and it sparks no outrage: "Trump has made no secret of his plans to use the power of the federal government to target domestic political adversaries."

Space adventure and exploration should be for the benefit of all humankind, not the whimsy of a few.

It’s Tax Day. While working folks are doing everything right to file on time, Republicans are out here pushing a $7 trillion tax cut for billionaires like Trump and Elon. Let’s be clear: their tax plan isn’t about helping you—it’s about keeping the rich rich while the rest of us foot the bill.

Anti-semitism and nationalism were factors in the rise of fascism during Hitler's Germany. In Trump's fascistic America, it's anti-anti-semitism, anti immigrants, anti DEI, and christian nationalism. There are too many other comparisons to list in this one post, but there are many commonalities.
