The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Jack Smith pointed out something important in his comments. Re: Roberts' reasoning in the immunity case Smith points out that the problem w/his logic is that he's worried about presidents being afraid to do their jobs for fear of retribution when the real problem is the one who seeks retribution.Yup

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

NO. It's fundamentally inappropriate for the @dscc.bsky.social to form a fundraising committee with Janet Mills. What happened to staying OUT of the primaries?

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

They keep voting for trump! My family farms corn and soybeans in MN and they ALL voted for him. All while collecting almost half a million dollars in government subsidies (taxpayer dollars) over the last 10 years. IDGAF if they go down.

So Israel wants their bodies of dead hostages. I understand that. How about the Palistinians that Israel is releasing some cannot even walk covered in bruises boils & scabies. Tortured & abused & no one says a word. There are international laws about how you treat prisoners..Geneva Convention, POWs

Martin Sheen 'The son of immigrants' • social justice is at the center of his life.

Sheen also talks about his faith in this country & his call to action for each of us to "lift up this country" & make politics joyful again.
