What are Zyn nicotine pouches? And are they bad for you?

There is no statute of limitations for murder, including under UCMJ.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

There's a lot of talk about how a future Democratic administration could hold Trump administration officials for the various horrors they're perpetrating, which is tricky in some cases because there may not be an applicable criminal law. But there's very much a criminal law for intentional killings.

“The upcoming No Kings has set off klaxons for Republican lawmakers…Some in party leadership are going further by branding it a pro-terrorism demonstration—an unambiguously false allegation meant to get ahead of a potentially massive protest against the president.”

There is no conceivable argument that these ships, even if we assume they were carrying narcotics, could not be dealt with in some other way. I think we can just drop the caveats and say: This is mass murder.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

Here is the Vice President defending adults who said they love Hitler, want to rape their enemies, put their political opponents in gas chambers, and that Black people are monkeys. Just to name a few.

Are these those Christian values JD Vance talks about?

So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?

Your actions have consequences.

You choose not to vote, you lose your say.

You elect a felon, expect to get robbed.

Not everyone voted for this administration, but everyone must live through it.
