Trump started an illegal war where 13 service members and many Iranian schoolgirls died
Gas and grocery prices are through the roof
We can’t afford to pay rent or buy health insurance
And ICE is killing people in the streets
Changes at the federal level are long overdue
Vote YES, Virginia

Insane corruption.
And if Lutnick is profiting from the end of tariffs you can bet Trump is getting a taste.
My photo shows a Paleo-Babylonian clay tablet inscribed with cuneiform text, still partially enclosed in its original clay envelope. The clay is pale orangey-brown in colour displayed against a grey display case background. The outer envelope has been broken open, revealing the inner tablet beneath. Both surfaces are covered with densely packed wedge-shaped characters, which record a contract for the sale of a house purchased by Mannum-balu-Samas at the price of 1/3 shekel and 15 grains of silver. This is followed by the names of the numerous witnesses including the mayor Sin-magir and the courier Apil-ilisu. The same text is repeated on the envelope in the event of a dispute, which was broken to inspect the internal document. It is dated 32nd year of Hammurabl's reign, 10th month, c. 1750 BC. The clay envelope measures 87 mm (height) × 55 mm (width), while the inner tablet measures 64 mm (height) × 43 mm (width). On display at the Museum of Antiquity in Turin. Collection number MAT 740.

Hegseth sneered about the military's logistical experts, and now he's got ships stuck with sailors almost starving on them.
But he's still sure the dismissive attitude about the flu won't come back to bite him.
I really underestimated the importance of having a secretary of defense, who doesn’t like it when people die
WW1 Camp Logan which is now Memorial Park in Houston Texas if you look hard enough you can still see where burn piles were at trying to cleanse the area. They had 33 deaths & 600 cases.
Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?

Not going to happen ... this year.
Let's make sure next year is a different story.
The thing about Scott along with others who say the same thing is deep down he knows he’s inferior. If the only way to stay in the lead is to take away freedom & opportunities from others is the same as saying he supports class slavery. A permanent servant class.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in the House Appropriations Committee hearing:
"The American people sense that this administration is out-of-touch...This administration is asleep at the wheel. They do not have any idea of what the American people need or want."

Married my wife 50 years ago. She passed away 3 years ago. Every birthday whoever’s birthday it is or any occasion is always a day for our family to remember. At some point there’s a hug & tears. The random tears while alone. Seeing a older couple hand in hand. Sitting here typing.
The El Gamal family will be released! Today, a federal judge ordered the end of their imprisonment at the Dilley trailer prison. They had been suffering at Dilley for nearly a year—the mother was rushed to the hospital last week and the five-year old daughter had been denied dental care.

There’s a lesson there.
I don’t know how many people remember or even care about how it was. It was normal to see kids in school wearing leg braces & using crutches because of polio. The good old days weren’t so good for a lot of people.

They creatively edit the bible just like what they do to statements people make. It has to fit their agenda. Cutting out words or whole sentences to lie about what was said.
Well, that's definitely a sound bite you run over photos of gas prices in Cincinnati.
X post by Xavier Becerra: "Steve Hilton appears in the Epstein files. I'm sure he'll explain himself." Screen shot of email from July 24, 2011 from Jeffrey Epstein to Ian Osborne, asking if David Cameron could be at a meeting - the email quotes Osborne who asks if Woody Allen could be present at a meeting with Epstein and Rohan Silva, head of then Prime Minister Cameron's policy unit and Steve Hilton, Director of Strategy.
🧵With @becerraforca.bsky.social surging in the polls, & @realtomsteyer.bsky.social doing well also, this is a good time to remind Californians that Brit Steve Hilton, Brexit fan, Fox News personality, & Trump endorsed, also appears in the Epstein files! No MAGA Gov for CA!
“He vomited a green substance and fainted,” the man said. “His body was white. He was shaking and sweating and officials paid no attention to him.” According to the man, who asked not to be named to avoid retaliation, this was the third person to be hospitalized after facing similar symptoms.”🚨🏥🚑
We’ve hit a point in the news cycle where trump can no longer move people around to make it look like no one’s been fired
Trump just gave himself $1.2 Billion of our money.
