Just throwing this out here. Maybe NOT go to war? First it was tariffs, then China, this guy is literally using our planet as a shiny ball and he’s batting it around like a cat because his attention span only last two cycles

Instead of sending expensive American jets to bomb a far away country, can’t we just fix our airports. I am sitting on another delayed flight. But hey there’s always money for war. What a joke.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Can we make this viral? Am I the only person who is sick of this war on nation? Sometimes it feels like I'm banging my head against a wall by myself. It wouldn't be the first.

The ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti bans health care decisions made by patient & families in consultation with their doctors. Once again, politicians & judges are inserting themselves in exam rooms. This ruling undermines doctors in delivering care to some of the most vulnerable patients in our country.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Weird how the “we’re broke” crowd goes quiet whenever war is on the table But we have to throw 11 million off health care, cut food stamps, etc right?

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.
