“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

I lost a family member a year ago today. Check in with your loved ones. These are rough times and if you’re struggling, talking helps. Call or text 988. You are loved.

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable.

California is expanding its water supply by adding 2.9 billion gallons a year through eight major state-funded projects.

We're recycling more water, removing PFAS, upgrading wastewater systems and building new desalination for over one million Californians.

This is how we build drought resilience.

Lutnick demonstrates why he's called Nutlick: "The greatest cabinet ever for the greatest president ever. I can't be more proud of how you did it, sir. You created the greatest cabinet. It is a joy to be at this table."

Trump on if he supports the second strike on a drug boat: "As far as the attack is concerned, I still haven't gotten a lot of information because I rely on Pete. I didn't know about the second strike. I wasn't involved in it."

Q: Was Matt Gaetz in the White House press briefing room asking questions as a 'reporter'?

A: Disgraced former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz was recently credentialed at the Pentagon on behalf of One America News.

The slime is now oozing out of the light sockets...

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
