So… the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs was fine launching an illegal strike?
I thought military was supposed to refuse to carry out an illegal order.
Does this Chair not care about congressional authority either?

Over the last 6 months we have seen intentional and incremental dismantling of institutions, namely our Constitution. This is a full frontal assault on democracy.

Republicans are robbing from those who most need government assistance to lower taxes for their wealthiest donors. MAGA would leave us economically and morally bankrupt. Let’s not let them. Call your Senators today: (202) 224-5274 and (202) 224-3041.

Florida Board of Governors rejects Santa Ono as University of Florida president
The selection of the former UM president faced backlash from GOP leaders over his handling of pro-Palestine encampments and his past support of DEI.

That was nuts. Politics just usurped a process that should be apolitical. It’s dangerous extremism. I disagree with Dr. Ono on MANY things, but his qualifications are undeniable. In my best Rick and Morty voice, that was kangaroo court. The best interest for UF does not matter, only politics.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

I got lazy using Amazon. No more. Buying directly from businesses, using Costco on-line, local small businesses and my wonderful public library for books. No more Kindle. It feels good and I will continue.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.
