They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

Mr. Cuban, apparently we're following the tariff plans of Peter Navarro. He based his plans on the research of an "expert" he made up. See my earlier post on this (linked below).
Considering this, what country in the world would want to give this any legitimacy? bsky.app/profile/sean... #EconSky

This is a jaw-dropping revelation. Peter Navarro -- the crackpot who came up with Trump's crackpot tariffs -- based his views on the research of Ron Vara -- a person that Navarro made up! youtu.be/MJbZCbBLqkk?...

First they said that veterans were “not fit to have a job.”
Now, they’re cutting tens of thousands of jobs that support veterans' health care.
America’s veterans deserve better. The White House should be standing with them, not treating them as if they’re expendable.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

Going to be following this story very closely. There is so much value in these medicines when administered properly to children. It has saved countless lives.
Trump has directed RFK Jr. to assess the "threat" psychiatric and weight loss drugs pose to children.
This has worried some experts given RFK's history of disparaging antidepressants and stimulants in conspiratorial terms. Here's a free link to our story: wapo.st/4hW2xGI

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching.
If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!
