Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

Robert Gould Shaw was born on this day in 1837 in Dartmouth, Mass. Shaw commanded the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, one of the North’s first Black regiments. He died leading his troops in an ill-fated assault on Fort Wagner and was buried in a mass grave with the black soldiers. /1

🚨 Retired Major Richard Ojeda explains the danger of “floating the use of the 82nd Airborne Division on American soil.” His message needs to be heard. Veterans, retired and active, are aware of the Posse Comitatus Act. The U.S. military is not to attack our own citizens. 1/2

You know, if there were a war between Maga and America, we couldn’t go anywhere, because Maga would have the roads full of broke down Ford Trucks, with 3 hillbillies standing around looking at the engine, Drinking Blue Ribbon Beer and farting.

Military families are missing paychecks, food pantries are overwhelmed, and kids are losing after-school programs, all because of Trump’s shutdown.

Our troops deserve better than this chaos.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

For the folks saying politics doesn’t affect you— this is proof that it does.
It impacts everyone.

Prayers up for the love ones, the community and first responders having to deal with this tragedy.

Rush hour. Lincoln Square.
2 Border Patrol thugs tackled a WGN-TV producer to the pavement in front of horrified commuters, handcuffing her, face-down.

Ran across this article today. A small glimpse into Peter Thiel’s ideology.

In the 2022 election cycle alone, he gave roughly $35 million to Republican, especially to PACs backing Vance, Blake Masters and DT.

I’m sure there’s nothing to be concerned about 🫣

Inside tech billionaire Peter Thiel's off-the-record lectures about the antichrist
The political svengali and investor has been giving lectures on 'an evil king or tyrant ... who appears in the end times'
Peter Thiel's off-the-record antichrist lectures reveal more about him than Armageddon

The Silicon Valley heavyweight drew on a wide swath of religious thinkers, including the French-American theorist René Girarde whom Thiel knew at Stanford University, and the Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, whose work he said helped create the core of his own beliefs. He credited the English Catholic theologian Jonn Henry Newman as the inspiration for his four-part series, saying:
"Newman did four, so I'm doing four. I'm happy about it."
