There’s an important election happening this week in Tennessee. MAGA is fearful that flipping the 7th District seat could shrink their House majority to a zero-vote margin.

CISA’s been stripped, we turned DHS into a political megaphone obsessed with immigrant boogeymen, the FBI has been handed to a clown carrying out a revenge tour, FEMA’s been kneecapped, & our intelligence partners no longer trust us. How long until something catastrophic happens?

This country was formed because of 'taxation without representation.' THAT is what Trump has done. He has levied One Trillion Dollars worth of taxes without the consent of Congress. That is what those tariffs did. He needs to be removed from the White House. THAT is treasonl

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.
This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

Honestly, no officer should need advice to decide if "kill these guys flailing around in the water" is a legal order
My understanding is that, at the height of the "drone war on terror" that when the military officer thought the legality of a particular strike was legally dubious, they'd have a CIA guy actually "pull the trigger". I wonder if that is happening in our current "War on Fishing Boats"?
