Kyiv was hit with 500 drones and 40 missiles. Civilians died.
Trump’s response? Understanding Putin’s inconvenience.
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s a bromance—paid for in Ukrainian lives.

Trump’s pardons reveal this administration’s hypocrisy.
Trump has pardoned some of the biggest fraudsters in the country and by doing so denied their victims millions of dollars in restitution.
It’s disgusting how little this administration cares about the victims of crime.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.

Left: French chore coat (just one of many regional variations)

Right: LL Bean barn coat

If the lore is to be believed, the American barn coat was originally called a hunting coat (or LL Bean Maine Warden jacket) bc it was used for hunting. It was renamed "barn coat" to appeal to urban customers.

Almost a year into this presidency, Trump voters have gotten nothing except the Big Beautiful Bill, which was usual Republican politics of giving tax cuts to the rich and slashing social spending for the poor. Housing remains unaffordable, cost of living is rising, and manufacturing jobs fell.

The one I love, who travelled abroad with a singing group when she was younger (and gushed to me about it), had the opportunity to sing recently.

I thought I'd listen, so she stopped singing until I stopped listening.
