Ukraine has secured a 90 billion Euro loan from the EU to continue resisting Russia's invasion for another two years. The process was mixed, but this was still a victory for Ukraine and a defeat for Russia.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

We can all see that there’s a systematic cover-up of the Epstein files by the DOJ.
Impeach Bondi. And any FBI officials involved should face consequences too.

Turning Point wasn’t a political conference — it was a public meltdown. Grown adults with microphones eating each other alive over ego, grievance, and clout. No ideas. No leadership. Just a movement collapsing into self-parody on its own stage.
