"Has" is correct in that context, Maxx.
"Department" is singular.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Hegseth at the opening of another Ramstein:

➡️ If there is no path to peace in the short term, the US and allies, will take the necessary steps to impose even greater costs on Russia for its aggression.

➡️ The US Department of War is ready to do such an act "as only the United States can do."

I'm not Catholic, but Pope Leo calls for unity in messaging against Trump's deportation raids.

A true show of WWJD. No wonder Evangelicals don't like him.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

"Putin, a ruthless septuagenarian bent on restoring Russia to its imperial glory, is simply too good a villain for Western politicians and media commentators to ignore.

"Casting him as omniscient and unstoppable creates a clear story amid the chaos of global affairs." [GIFT LINK]
Putin Is Not Winning
Underestimating the Russian leader is dangerous, but ascribing dark powers to him plays right into his hands.

It’s neither; Netanyahu has already announced plans to bomb Iran, already killed 5-10 Gazans ( including kids) in last 2 days, and pulled a Putin & withheld a listed Palestinian hostage ( so far)

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

In a few weeks/months some Palestinian will cross into Israel and commit a terrorist attack. The Palestinians will "denounce" the attack, then do nothing about it. Israel will launch a punishing retaliatory attack. Palestinians will cry and then launch more attacks. Cease fire over.

Give it a few weeks, and the US will be engaged in another war with Palestine with troops on the ground. It will be called "Safety Forces" or something to the effect.
