Leavitt: "Democrat leaders in Minnesota with sanctuary city policies have actively defied federal immigration law and the will of the people and as a result of that defiant and defiance to Minnesotans have now tragically lost their lives on the streets of Tim Walz's state."

Dems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.

The one and only time NATO has invoked Article 5 and waged collective defense was when they came to *our* aid after 9/11.
That's a fact, no matter how dumb our current president is. Just saying.

Trump: "The big fear I have with NATO is we spend tremendous amounts of money with NATO and I know we'll come to their rescue, but I just really do question whether or not they'll come to ours. Just saying."

Monet refused to leave Giverny, even through illness. “What I need most are flowers, always,” he said— and so he stayed, painting the life that bloomed just beyond his window.

I’m re-upping this because we need to focus.No country should allow masked enforcement officers to terrorize communities. But this country’s history makes this practice ESPECIALLY repugnant. So long as we allow anonymity & impunity there will be brutality.

Have you looked at why RiteAid and thousands of independent pharmacies went out of business, and Walgreens was broke before being bought ? Do you understand who creates the horrific economics for non captive pharmacies ? Of course you don't.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Why is President Trump pardoning the former president of Honduras — a convicted international cocaine trafficker? How is this in the national interest?
The president claims the prosecution was a ‘witch hunt,’ but that’s false.
When pardons are misused, we erode the rule of law itself.
