BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.
Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire
The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

It's called gaslighting -- a euphanism for lying -- which is another term for betraying America and your oath of office.

The Trump administration is now ticketing LEGAL residents for failing to carry their papers.

We're at the "papers, please" stage of fascism.

Excellent summary.

Not only are we humiliated and drastically hurt by this administration, it's also costing us SO MUCH MONEY.

I wonder if all the people braying about the "war on Christianity" might raise some objections if it were a *Democratic* administration who had its armed thugs shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and waiting outside Catholic Churches to disappear parishioners?

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."

Reading—really reading—is and ought to be and always will be hard.

There are things you can read quickly and enjoy. But the texts that truly reward reading take time, and there‘s no shortcut.
