Really feels like just telling military to draw up plans to invade an ally should be an impeachable offense regardless of party

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.

The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.
Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.

Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.

Now get off my lawn.

The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

The lying, gaslighting and belligerence of Trump and his thugs is beyond fantastical. What we are witnessing is madness that beggars belief, and puts to shame the propaganda of history’s most terrifying regimes.

This sounds awful and we need details from the Administration ASAP.

In the meantime, I agree with @smith.senate.gov - ICE should immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to deescalate.

So, hear me out on this, I want my taxpayer dollars going to feeding, hungry people, educating kids, and building better roads. I have no desire to buy Donald Trump an island, & last time I checked, the power of the purse, still belonged to Congress.
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent administration threats against Greenland didn’t signal an imminent invasion and that the goal is to buy the island from Denmark, according to people familiar with the discussions."

We’d like to dedicate our final post for the day to the brave law enforcement officials who fought an angry mob on this day, five years ago. May their unwavering dedication to the service of our nation give us the strength we need to carry on in this fight against fascism.
