It’s awful to hear that National Guard troops were shot after they were needlessly-and possibly illegally-deployed to Washington DC
Tomorrow many of us will sit down with our families for Thanksgiving-while they will likely be in hospital beds
So consider taking just one moment to think of them

My prayers are with the National Guard members injured in today’s senseless shooting. Grateful for the officers and first responders who moved quickly. There is no place for this kind of violence in our country.

Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

DOGE May Be Dead, but Its Crimes Live On
A now-abolished agency that never was did a remarkable amount of damage—including, surprisingly, to the budget deficit.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Russian hackers target US engineering firm because of work done for Ukrainian sister city

Republicans say Democratic lawmakers are causing discord and distrust by reminding service members to follow their oath.
I think what's bringing discord and distrust is the America first movement online is a bunch of bot farms coming from Nigeria, Russia, and Iran.
