If her being an immigrant has not affected his ability to maintain his security clearance, why are they holding her? The AFOSI has done in depth investigations and I suspect they are so much better at it than these ICE thugs!

Isn't it funny how these racists don't even consider that they too are immigrants? Were they Southerners? Based on ancestry shows, many of them also have minority blood in their genes. Joke's on them!

These days you don't know who is carrying a gun and crazy enough to use it. Walking away was the smart decision.

I'm down with that! I'd actually watch the entire hearing just to see the pain they feel.

Go Liz!

Does it have any practical use?

Napping may be warning sign of health issues in older adults, study finds For older adults, naps may be a warning sign of underlying conditions or declining health, according to a new study.

Pentagon revokes mandatory flu vaccine policy, calling it 'absurd' Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth announced the military is ending a longstanding policy that required all service members get the flu shot.

Dumbest change EVER! I married a military member who got the flu shot every year and I got the flu. When I got a civil service job, I got the shot the same day as military and haven't had the flu since. That vaccine works!

I remember how expensive Virginia was. The apartment I left in 2015 cost $1900 a month. My mortgage in Florida is only $1400 a month and it includes very high homeowners insurance premiums.

I didn’t know so many had left. They were treated so unfairly!

That one he definitely must answer to be appointed.

If he does, Trump might pull his nomination. Probably a smart move on his part.

Southern Poverty Law Center facing Justice Department probe over use of paid informants to infiltrate hate groups The Justice Department is investigating the Southern Poverty Law Center in connection with a now-defunct program that used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

Trump bribes businesses to do what he wants but SPLC paying informants is illegal? Someone please explain.

As of September 1, 2025, the state-level tax on groceries has been reduced to 2%, with further potential reductions."

Republicans have run Alabama for DECADES. Who do you think kept that tax in place all those years?

Republicans in Alabama are running on how they finally eliminated the tax on food.

Per AI:
"Alabama has historically been one of only three U.S. states to tax groceries at the full state sales tax rate. Following long-standing criticism, the state began reducing its 4% sales tax on food in 2023.

With Trump threatening Cuba, I was thinking that they could be almost self-sufficient by now. Solar could power their homes and run their cars. They have endless amounts of sunshine to grow food and animals.

But, a communist regime held them down. Don't let this happen to the USA!

Yup! Broken hips in the elderly usually leads to a quick decline and death.

That's what cult leaders do! Look David Koresh and his cult in Waco TX or Jim Jones with his cult in Jonestown Guyana.

Those two cult members discovered the truth about their leader way too late! Educate the MAGA cult and SAVE THEM!

Every war is different. Comparing the timeframe of any two wars is ridiculous.

Smart people would not have gotten into a war with Iran. Smart people would not have left the Iranian nuclear deal which was working.

TRUMP IS NOT SMART!

Duh! The US continued to block the Strait of Hormuz. They never ceased firing on anyone.

Trump is the kind of leader every military education institute warns against. What a total idiot. My military family member's life is in grave danger thanks to him!

Opening World Cup games in the US will occur when some school districts are having Finals. There's always a risk giving those important testing remotely. Will they go to remote schooling during those events?

When does educating our students become the priority?

Lots of laid off federal employees and contractors in Loudon County. I suspect they, Prince William, Fairfax, and Arlington Counties will approve it overwhelmingly.

No, both JD and Rubio are too antsy to become president. They want to get Trump out of the way ASAP!

Rachel Maddow is talking to John Ossoff from Georgia. She was questioning him about the two detention centers Trump wants to build there. She called them “Trump prisons”.

Now that’s a building he can put his name on. Hope WE can put him in one of them!

For now!

I fear he will try to make her “fall in line” then she will quit. Fira him now and confirm her in that job.

Yesterday I heard about the man who shot eight children near Shreveport. I knew that Mike Johnson’s district was near there so I looked it up.

I don’t even know how you can tell. This is such a pathetically gerrymander district. I bet even the residence have no clue.

I know too many mothers who made play dates for their kids. And, if they other child did not like them, it was the other kid's fault. That damages boys for the rest of their lives.

Somebody has to manage the claims from the providers, hospitals, and pharmacies, and pay them. Do you know how to do it? I DO!

Katy Tur, I thought your joke today was great! Who didn't get it?

I wouldn't be caught dead in those ugly things!
