“Better than TV, it’s like a real-life episode of Jack Ryan.”
It was an exciting evening for all the billionaire Mar-a-Lago guests, who could listen to the action in Venezuela through the curtain.

As a mum who’s used to their kids bursting into tears at my food. I’m still trying to work out if this is all a fluke or if people do like my cooking. Either way thank you for a reminder: I can cook and kids can be dicks 😉Enjoy cauliflower soup & homemade rolls. #foodsky #baking #cooking #food #soup

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

What is the most effective way for Trump to distract from his role in Jeffrey Epstein's child rape ring? Attack other countries.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

The first church I served as pastor about 40 years ago had a traditional first hymn EVERY Sunday morning, "Happy Birthday to you..." I'm listening to their service online today, and find that the tradition continues. (Groan)

What JD Vance really means by this is that Maduro is bound by US laws but Trump is not.

1/ Vladimir Putin's heavy investment in the regime of Venezuelan former President Nicolás Maduro has been a costly and disastrous failure, according to Russian commentators. They admit that Russia is too weak to stop its allies from being picked off one by one by the West. ⬇️

RUBIO: Maduro was indicted. Nobody ever did anything about it.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hernandez was convicted by a jury

RUBIO: The pardon authority is something I'm not involved in

STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support it?

RUBIO: I wasn't involved in those deliberations. I haven't looked at the case file.

The most lingering pain for me over the past two and a half years has been that of being an academic in exile. I know I’m not alone in this as higher education is undergoing so many shifts, and many have found themselves in similar straits.

Question: Did anyone from the White House, including President Biden, ever tell you they expected you to bring charges against Donald Trump?

Smith: No.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

Really weird to see the United States Attorney General commenting on an active grand jury investigation—let alone referring to a potential subject of that investigation as a “bad actor.”

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Pretty clear

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.
