The evangelicals who think Iran’s protests mean Jesus is returning "Iran will be Christian."

For some Christians, the Iranian protests are more than just a popular uprising; they are the fulfillment of ancient Biblical prophecies that foretell the second coming of the Messiah.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

What a War Powers Resolution Vote on Iran Actually Means While Congress could narrowly pass a resolution, it would likely not have the two-thirds majority needed to overturn a Trump veto.

Any vote on a war powers resolution would be largely symbolic. But members of Congress say the vote is important anyway to make clear their stance on the war.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

This month's theme was "resistance" and my book choices were deliberately not obvious until the end. Resistance takes many forms; not all of us are warriors, but we all can make a positive difference.

The law does not care how long blood relatives have been out of your life or treat(ed) you. The law also does not care how close you are to "found family".
If you do not have legal documents that state your wishes, blood relatives call all of the shots.

What was Bill Pulte’s charity really funding with this mystery donation? It gave $65,000 to a nonprofit that records suggest is an LLC linked to Trump's legal defense.
