Video shows an Israeli drone killing a Palestinian carrying flour in Gaza City. The UN says food sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, where 600 were killed, are 'an abomination' and 'a death trap.'

The “IDF” is the leading engine of mass death and destruction in the world today. Its actions defy humanity, decency, and every notion of moral conduct.

How was Joe Biden forced out of a presidential race for a disastrous debate and for looking frail and for confusing names, but this man, one of the most ignorant men to ever be elected to any office, allowed to continue on as president and treated as a normal, serious leader??

Murkowski's Alaska Gold Rush is iron pyrite. The SNAP benefit for Alaska is out too and Republicans are desperate to save it.
If the bill had 50 votes right now Senators wouldn't be awake at 1am. This is a live ball.

Corruption is the brand

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.

This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Just to underscore--the president is attending the opening of an immigrant tent city that was purposely built (in one week) on an abandoned airfield in the middle of the Florida Everglades because it's surrounded by alligators and pythons to deter people from fleeing, or kill them if they do.
Uhh...last week NYT reported construction on "Alligator Alcatraz" would start today. Now NBC News reports it's *opening* tomorrow with Trump likely in attendance "set up quickly — in roughly one week — by the DeSantis administration."
Trump expected to visit the 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention facility this week

Once again I beg of people to pause and look around and realize that it's basically only because of the lawyers and the law that Trump has faced any meaningful opposition to his agenda.
Obviously "the law will not save us" but actually thanks to lawyers a TON of damage has been prevented.

First, we really do not want to create an alternative compact of state-based constitutional disorder (i.e., segregation) . For instance, currently, the Executive Order only applies to federal agencies so begin to challenge any state based attempt to deny or refuse to issue any birth certificates.
