Before anyone gets excited about this, let's see if any of the charges stick. I'll bet it's another inept DOJ attempt to smear the SPLC that gets laughed out of court.

This is classic "the South will rise again" bullshit.

Stupidity seems to reign supreme in this administration. What does warrior Pete think will happen in the barracks when unvaccinated troops share sleeping quarters? It's definitely not going to help with military readiness.

This deplorable situation is brought to you by the MAGA Republicans, Project 2025, and the courts, who should have shut it down before the first concentration camp was ever built.

Great! So all we need to do to have a functioning democracy is replace all three branches of the federal government. I need to re-read the constitution to figure out who provides checks and balances on SCOTUS.

I would like to think our media can be shamed into legitimate reporting like this, but I'm not optimistic.

Barry McCaffrey: Trump muses on awarding himself the Medal of Honor. A truly vile insult to the US Armed Forces.

Corruption at its finest...

Our "free press" is no longer free from oligarchs that want to control everything. Our entire constitutional framework has been successfully corrupted by money, a sad commentary on the state of our nation.

Let's be sure to thank every Republican running for election by voting them out of office. They have collectively made our economic situation worse through their incompetence.

Hypocrisy reigns supreme in the Republican party.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you! Once again we have a cease fire that will only last a day, if that. We've been hearing about Republicans warning about uncertainty, and now we have a president that generates it on a daily basis. This is less about Iran and more about the USA being unpredictable.

So Ballmer didn't really give NPR a donation, right? It was a business transaction that served some purpose for him, so why is being called a donation? This is one of many problems with our pitiful MSM in this country.

So Toyota sells luxury EVs in China for $22K, but Elon sells EVs in America to suckers for $60K+? I'm assuming this is not a currency conversion error. So if Toyota can do it for one third of the price, why are EVs still so expensive here?

We need to get used to this since our president doesn't believe in global warming while the rest of us have to suffer the consequences without FEMA. What could possibly to wrong?

I'm really disappointed to keep hearing about the clearing of encampments of people who are already surviving on next to nothing. If we are going to have a society where only the rich can succeed, we need a way to take care of those who cannot through no fault of their own. The system is rigged.

15 dead 🇺🇸
≈ 500 wounded 🇺🇸
And we’re not even back to where we started

And our evil dictator wants credit for ending the war he started without our permission when it’s not even over

It’s stupifying
It’s absurd
It’s a tragedy and a national embarrassment

It ought to be his final transgression

Equally fascinating and terrifying! It's a good thing drones are on the job.

Dear Media:

Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass.

We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

I'm confident that Franklin's father Billy would NOT be proud of his son's ridiculous take on this post.

'There Is Only One Majority in This Country, That's the Working Class,' Says Mamdani | Common Dreams "It's time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing and not as part of the appendix."

Mamdani: Democratic socialism viable anywhere. “...this is a politics that can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country – that’s the working class, and it’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of [public policy]..." www.commondreams.org/news/mamdani...

It's constitutionally sound if Jamie Raskin is proposing it. However, I have zero confidence in JD doing anything competently.

That would be awesome! Ranked choice voting is another excellent idea that might help eliminate the current atrocity of choosing candidates based upon how much ad time they can buy. We need to get dark money out of politics.

Bernie Sanders @berniesanders While the world focuses on the destruction in Iran, we must not ignore what Israel is doing in Lebanon. 1,461 have been killed. 4,430 have been injured. 1.2 million have been displaced. Israel now occupies 14% of Lebanon. Enough is enough. No more US military aid to Israel. Bernie

It's bad enough that Trump is screwing up our country, but how much longer are we going to allow him to turn us into a pariah on the world stage? If we allow his ignorance to cause a world wide recession, we will never recover our position of the leader of the free world, which would be appropriate.

Probably the most dangerous headline I've seen today. We ignore climate change at our own peril. And even more importantly, we are leaving a world that will challenge our children and grand children in a way that will make their existence more challenging. Are corporate profits really worth it?

Looks like the Washington Post is about on the same level as Fox News now. What a fall from grace after being one of the standards of excellence in reporting and defending our democracy. This is nonsense.
