Fox is now openly celebrating Trump's unconstitutional seizure of power from Congress. There is literally nothing the guy could do that they wouldn't cheerlead. The network is completely captured by MAGA.

On MSNBC, Kamala Harris was asked if she agreed that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

“I will tell you that when you look at the number of children that have been killed [...] the refusal to give aid, we should all step back and ask this question and be honest about it, yeah.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris held back from labeling Israel's actions in Gaza a "genocide" on Sunday but said it was an appropriate question.
"A lot of folks in your party have called what's happening in Gaza a genocide. Do you agree with that?" correspondent Eugene Daniels asked Harris during an interview on MSNBC's "The Weekend."
"Listen, it is a term of law that a court will decide," Harris responded. "But I will tell you that when you look at the number of children that have been killed, the number of innocent civilians that have been
killed, the refusal to give aid and support, we should all step back and ask this question and be honest about it, yeah."

Charlie Kirk was the first man on Omaha Beach, on D-Day, apparently.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Trump: "We're dealing with some radical left lunatics. And I just wish Charlie was here to fight us. I think the fight would've been over already. You would've had a march on the Capitol by people whose average age is about 21."

Trump: "I had a very wealthy person who called -- a donor, a great gentleman -- and he said, 'if there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it.' Meaning he will pay it. How about that?"

Almost 200 years ago, my ancestors landed in New York. Intending to join the growing German community in the US mid-west. But, on the dock, they met agents from the German community in Waterloo County, Ontario, and decided to go there instead. I am so thankful they did.
