The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

NYT: A Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Florida is now targeting former CIA and FBI officials for a supposed “grand conspiracy” against Trump.

They couldn’t find a deep state plot, so they’re trying to manufacture one.

We're deep in banana republic territory now.

So He’s already cashed the check⁉️

Trump reportedly demanded that the DOJ pay him for past criminal cases brought against him.

Reminder that the DOJ doesn't have to make a public announcement, meaning they could pay Trump $230 million in complete secrecy.

That's unprecedented, unethical and unacceptable.

The Senate voted 50–46 to overturn Trump’s tariffs on Canada. Four Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting the measure: Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski & Rand Paul.

I didn't think there were 4 Republicans who would choose country over Trump.

#Trump may have immunity from the Supreme Court, but nobody else does — something #ICE agents would do well to remember.
For anyone saying that the ICE agents are just doing their jobs, so were the German soldiers loading Jewish people onto trains.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Reject #Bothsidesism
Encourage people to think.
She warned us 70 years ago: the real danger isn't making people believe lies—it's making them give up on truth entirely. Hannah Arendt was a German-born political philosopher who survived the rise of Nazism, fled Europe, and spent the rest of her life trying to understand how civilized societies descend into totalitarian nightmares. In 1951, she published "The Origins of Totalitarianism," a work that remains chillingly relevant today. Arendt's central insight was this: totalitarian systems don't succeed by convincing people of their ideology. They succeed by destroying people's ability to think at all. In her most famous observation from that book, Arendt wrote: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (and the distinction between true and false) no longer exists." Read that again. The goal isn't belief—it's confusion. It's exhaustion. It's making people so overwhelmed by competing claims, so buried in lies and counter-lies, that they simply give up trying to know what's real. When you can no longer tell truth from lies, you can no longer tell right from wrong. And when that happens, you become easy to control—not because you've been persuaded, but because you've stopped trying to think for yourself. Arendt understood something crucial: totalitarian education is not about indoctrination—it's about destroying the capacity to form any convictions at all. If people believe nothing, question nothing, and trust nothing, they won't resist anything. They'll float along, numb and passive, as the world around them darkens. In her later essay "Truth and Politics" (1967), Arendt explored how lies function in political systems. She observed that constant, pervasive lying doesn't just spread falsehoods—it erodes the very concept of truth. When everything is contested, when every fact is dismissed as partisan, when reality itself becomes a matter of opinion, then truth loses its power entirely. And when truth has no power, neither does justice, morality, or human dignity. Arendt watched this happen in real time in 1930s Germany. She saw how the Nazis didn't just lie—they created an environment where lying became so constant, so overwhelming, that ordinary people stopped caring what was true. They became numb. Cynical. Detached. And in that numbness, atrocities became possible. She wrote about this not to assign blame, but to issue a warning: This can happen anywhere. It can happen to anyone. It starts not with violence, but with the slow destruction of our ability to distinguish reality from fiction. So, what do we do? Arendt believed the answer lay in what she called "thinking." Not just absorbing information, but actively engaging with it. Questioning. Reflecting. Holding multiple perspectives. Refusing to accept easy answers or simplistic explanations. She wrote: "The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution." Meaning: the moment we stop thinking critically, the moment we accept any narrative without question—even one we agree with—we've already lost. Totalitarianism doesn't announce itself with jackboots and tanks. It begins quietly, in the gradual erosion of our capacity to know what's real. It thrives in cynicism, exhaustion, and the belief that "all politicians lie" or "you can't trust anyone" or "who knows what's really true anymore? "That resignation—that exhaustion—is exactly what Arendt warned us about. Hannah Arendt died in 1975, but her warning echoes forward: Guard your capacity to think. Demand evidence. Distinguish between fact and opinion. Don't let the flood of lies make you give up on truth itself. Because once you stop caring what's true, you've already lost everything that matters. The fight isn't just about believing the right things. It's about refusing to stop thinking at all.

RI seniors pay into Social Security over a lifetime of hard work so they can enjoy a dignified retirement, yet the cost of living is outpacing these benefits.

As Trump and Republicans drive up costs, our bill would increase benefits and protect the promise of Social Security.
