The mother and son detained in the Walmart parking lot remained at Dilley for more than three weeks. Immigration officials confiscated the boy's stuffed dinosaur toy and winter hat. At Dilley, they were provided with expired and spoiled food, which the child refused to eat. At the time they were detained, the mother was breastfeeding her youngest child, but while she was at Dilley, her milk dried up.

The physical and emotional pain our government inflicted on this mother is unbearable. We must spend the rest of our lives repairing the damage done with our tax dollars.

Hegseth takes another step backward, scraps Pentagon policy on flu vaccines For nearly 250 years, U.S. military leaders have prioritized inoculating the troops. It’s a lesson the current defense secretary hasn’t learned.

During the Revolutionary War, smallpox took such a brutal toll that George Washington decided to inoculate the troops in 1777, ensuring the survival of the United States.

This came to mind watching Hegseth scrap the Pentagon’s policy on flu vaccines for no reason.

Leadership failures led to major Covid outbreak on aircraft carrier, watchdog report finds | CNN Politics The leadership of the USS Theodore Roosevelt failed to put in place measures to stop a coronavirus outbreak on board the aircraft carrier and exacerbated a growing problem by releasing sailors too ear...

The one thing that has taken a U.S. aircraft carrier offline in recent years was not enemy action. It was COVID.

Deciding now to put anti-science culture war signaling over military readiness is a bad idea.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.

It's a disgrace.

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.

Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

fetterman sure proved himself. But not in a good way.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Trump fight with Pope Leo is about so much more than Trump’s Iran War Crimes and atrocities

GOP has long pushed for an American theocracy based almost totally on the Old Testament that would be very similar to Iran.

A Jesus following Pope is not part of that plan. So Trump demonizes the Pope

Yep. But who did people in those areas vote for. Trump and GOP members of Congress. I am not saying they deserve this but am saying that people should understand what their votes lead to.

My parents rode the interurban from St Joe to Kansas City. I live in Lawrence KS now. I wish I could go to KC on one like folks over 100 years ago did.

Trump, IRS In Talks To Settle U.S. President's $10 Billion Lawsuit Trump's adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization are also plaintiffs.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.

I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Love Barnstar! I can remember seeing Northern Lights with Taylor when Jake joined in as a teenager. I’ve known Mark since early in his career. Versatile musician and great guy. He had Zachariah with him at one of the times I presented Mark in concert.
