The “FAFO/just comply”, folks, found out, and we should leave it at that. They went to Washington DC of their own free, will to destroy the capital, interfere with the fair and free election, injured officers and caused deaths. That they were pardoned is an insult to every law abiding American.
My statement on reports that the Trump-Vance Administration may send Afghans, including those who served with the U.S. military and more than 400 children, to the Congo:
"Secretary Kennedy’s unlawful declaration harmed children,” the Judge wrote.
“This case highlights a leader’s unserious regard for the rule of law...
“Unserious leaders are unsafe."

Nevada's largest utility says it will need three times the electricity required to power Las Vegas just to handle proposed data centers — and it probably can't do that without fossil fuels.

We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
John Roberts’ Wife Made Millions From Bribes
Roberts accepted $10 Million in bribes disguised as recruiting fees from Law firms with cases pending before the Supreme Court.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and also the best guarantee we can hold free and fair elections this November. Today, it was shining brightly. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
A politician with the guts to say it:
"No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War."
- Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.
The grift will not stop til he and the entire bloody lot of grifters are extracted, then banned from ever holding a governmental position again. This once great nation has never witnessed an entire admin with such brazen corruption & utter incompetence.
They all must be held to account.
Bianco is the same sheriff who defended himself over having joined the Oath Keepers.
Oh, and he said January 6th was only a few fringe members of the group 🤡🤡

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state
These unserious and self-absorbed people are the same as the court of a demented and syphilitic King George that the Constitution was written expressly to prevent. What the hell.
We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)
These are not serious people or good faith actors.
Here’s a thought for James Comer.
There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.
It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.
You know, just to see what she knows.

Absolutely horrifying speech by Rubio at the Security Summit in Germany. If this speech doesn't raise alarms we are all screwed.
#SheShedwww.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
I i’m very alarmed at this speech, and the acceptance of the language he’s using. The imperialism of the west has created many issues around the world.
