When military leaders are afraid to challenge unlawful orders, the military risks losing the independence, integrity, and sound judgment that make it effective in the first place. From retired Coast Guard senior officers William D. Baumgartner, Stephen Chamberlin, Leanne Lusk and Brian McNamara:

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Where are Republican members of House Judiciary? Why aren't Republicans on House Judiciary examining Epstein Files too? When will Republicans do their jobs? Republican JIM JORDAN IS CHAIRMAN of the House Judiciary Committee & represents Ohio's 4th Congressional District #OhioBlues #voteJIMout2026

House Judiciary Democrats have released a 50-page report examining Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, including accounts involving 11 women and a new rape allegation that the White House denies. With just 8 days until the midterms, the report is raising explosive new questions.

In speeches, Obama hit Trump on gas prices and a war nobody asked for. Hours later, Trump bragged at a rally that the country is making a fortune on oil and he doesn’t give a damn what people pay at the pump. Interesting strategy. My write-up in the link in the comments.

Trump has made Americans poorer. A Ford F-150 truck costs about $100 to fill, up $30 from a year ago. Mortgage rates have jumped to levels that have depressed home sales. And consumer prices are rising faster than paychecks.

Tennessee Brando delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's remaining supporters. “It's sad to watch people who are so miserable in their own lives get behind a man who is the king of misery, who just keeps adding more misery to their lives, and they keep cheering it on.”

For anyone who says peaceful protests don't work, students in Serbia toppled a tyrant who was in power for 14 years through relentless demonstrations over the course of two years. It doesn't happen in a day, but it can be done.

Trump wrote 1,300 words on Bill Maher, making it the longest Truth Social post he’s ever posted, and exactly 0 words on how he plans to end the Iran war, provide health care to Americans, and bring the cost of living down.

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.
