Whenever I hear that ANTIFA was responsible for storming our capital on J6, I reply “not true, cuz I wasn’t there”. I became ANTIFA in 75 when I joined the US Navy.

When did you become ANTIFA?

Rare moment of journalist solidarity as major news outlets, including WaPo, NYT, CNN, Newsmax, The Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal, NPR, Reuters and the Guardian, along with the trade publications Task & Purpose and Breaking Defense, all reject new Pentagon reporting rules (no word from Fox yet)

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before signing deadline

The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 1h

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but I wouldn't get too excited about a House Judiciary hearing with Jack Smith. If Mueller and Garland serve as examples, these guys tend to say very little beyond "no comment."

NBC News on X: "Chinese President Xi Jinping calls for greater representation of women in politics and government at a global women’s summit in Beijing, a move he says would ensure that gender equality is “truly internalized” within society. t.co/hXAeqX7pWf%22 / X share.google/J5upCSPcJdPi...

Medicare for All isn't just a healthcare guarantee, it's a small business empowerment program.

Could the difference in feelings be attributed to the trump administration making EVERYTHING you buy more expensive?

When you’re making less money as the minimum wage hasn’t been increased since my kids were in jr high, couple this with higher prices, you can truly understand the differences.

CNBC
There's a shocking disparity between how high income and low income earners feel about the economy

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.
