I realize there's a collective shrug from the media but I personally find it so deeply shameful & so utterly repulsive that the Director of the NIH, Jay Bhattacharya, and the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, Martin Makary, are rubbing shoulders with RFK Jr's buddy Russell Brand

ICE GOONS posing as police forcibly removed Juanita Avila, a green card holder, from her car in Cottage Grove, Oregon.
“You deceived me when you claimed to be police officers!” “Who are you?”
“Why did you pull me over?” They finally released her after her daughter provided proof of her legal status

On this Veterans Day, a remembrance of Technical Sgt. Murray Lebowitz, my mother's cousinwhose B-24 crashed on takeoff from Bomber Field #2 on Guadalcanal in April 1943. His body was not recovered from the waters off Koli Point.

Trump: Take a look at this if you want to see detail. Most people do a sign and paint it on the wall. So that's half inch thick bronze. Carved. By a very talented person. And it's brass. It's pure brass.

Yes, we have issues and gripes. I certainly have mine. But I think they are solvable in the near term. MAGA, on the other hand, is in total disarray. And their problem - a malevolent, unpopular fool sinking deeper into dementia surrounded by clowns, is only going to get worse.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.
