Just finished watching this. It was heartbreaking and cathartic at the same time. I am often shocked by where we are now, but it gives me courage knowing that people like Adam Kinzinger are fighting for the truth. @adamkinzinger.substack.com, thank you for your service to this country.

This is incredibly deep and I am tearing up.

Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams are the worst of us.

Mamdani is one of the best.

When you vote in this election, whatever your faith, you are making a moral decision that will reflect on your character and your soul forever.

Mamdani: "I thought that if I could build a campaign of universality ... if I behaved well enough or bit my tongue enough ... it would allow me to be more than just my faith. I was wrong."

People under occupation, who face daily rape and torture, woke up to… this.

You showed Putin that what he does WORKS. He will continue.

You could’ve solved this within weeks by giving Ukraine what it needs to push Russia to withdraw. Instead, you chose betting on Putin’s most useful agent.

I had the privilege of serving in combat with outstanding female soldiers. When I chose my team for missions, I wanted only the best and that naturally meant having women on my teams. To disrespect the contributions and sacrifices of so many puts a stain on our military that is unforgivable.

Release the Epstein files.

Release the Homan tapes.

Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

That this is in no way based in reality is irrelevant. But the only thing that was breaking through that narrative a bit was the Epstein files so now would be a good time to pick that thread back up

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

"Both declined.

He got a REAL ID, is a citizen and was arrested and told his real id was fake. ICE is a disgrace.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Dr Oz says being healthy is a patriotic duty

Worse, he says they spend 70% of Medicare & Medicaid funds on chronic illness & aren’t “getting their money’s worth”

This is the quiet part said out loud.

They don’t want to cure chronic illness, they want us to take the blame. They don’t want to pay.
