After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping.

The cruelty is endless.

Jeffries: "The administration -- without any plan, any objective, any exit strategy -- has gotten us into this reckless war of choice in the Middle East. So the notion they would come up here and ask for additional money is beyond the pale at this moment."

Border Patrol official Greg Bovino to retire, reports say The 55-year-old Border Patrol official will reportedly retire this month, capping off about a year of highly visible enforcement of Trump’s deportation agenda.

Who didn't see this coming?

Everyone has to know there's not a chance in hell any bank anywhere is going to hand out "Trump Cards" at 10% interest. Not like Trump has a way to put up the money to back that up. Either this way he can blame the big banks for hurting avg ppl, or another grift is coming. He's just shifting blame.

Just an update to Otis's vet visit. He's in good health, although they would like him to lose a few lbs, which I expected. His teeth are in good shape, but he does have the start of gingivitis and some plaque, so cleaning sched. Thank you again to all who helped!! pic of him hanging at the vet. ❤️

Tina Davis, who modeled for Ford in the mid-1990s, said in an interview that her Ford booker instructed her to get dressed up and attend a Mar-a-Lago party in late 1994. Just 14 and new to Miami, she was told to “dress sexy,” according to her mother, Sandra Coleman, who had accompanied her to Florida. Eight or nine other models came along on the bus. “All the girls were really young,” Ms. Coleman recalled in an interview. “Some of them could have been in training bras.” When they arrived at Mar-a-Lago, Ms. Coleman said, her daughter was promptly handed a glass of champagne. She took it away, but waiters kept offering more. Each time one of the middle-aged men at the party approached her daughter, Ms. Coleman would walk over and introduce herself as Ms. Davis’s mother. During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trump’s new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms. Maples clasped her hands, Ms. Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. “Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband,” she told Ms. Coleman. “Protect her.”

These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

URGENT: My cat needs dental surgery. We are facing a poss $2000 bill that I can't afford.
Binky has infection (bleeding, drooling) and is in pain. I'm unemployed due to my own health issues and have no savings for this emergency. She is family and I can't lose her. GFM in profile. Pls like and share

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Of course.

They just wanted him afraid. That was the only reason for this. To scare him into leaving on his own.

Oh I'm sure this will go over well.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

May he have the afterlife he deserves.

Gods I am so tired of these stories. I don't know a woman without some form of one. The worse the disease, the longer it takes for a diagnosis. By then, women are lucky if the prognosis isn't drastically worse than if they had been listened to in the first place. Four years for me to get MS dx.

I don't understand why he keeps bragging about acing a test that people without cognitive issues are expected to "ace."

I'd be impressed if he took the citizenship test and aced that. Course we can't believe a thing from this admin so...

Per the DOJ's own webpage too.
