Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

@paulsummergrad.bsky.social Irony abounds when someone's finger of blame appears to apply to themself. As Rodney King was famously quoted, "Can't we all just get along?"
Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.

Why else would Trump be offended, than if he knew unlawful orders were going to come, and have been coming from him? Someone noted extreme irony: Trump posted a photo of the exact plaque that tells cadets the very rules Kelly et al. were reviewing. Do we suspect he can't read??
#GrumpyPolitics Telling troops that they must not follow unlawful orders is not sedition. It is not undermining the President.
Unless the President is giving unlawful orders and knows it. In which case, he might throw a tantrum.

DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable.
Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.
