This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

The US has been the de facto world leader for 80 years since WWII. In just a few months, Republicans have made the US far weaker and less relevant than at any time in living memory.

My latest: On how despite all Trump's efforts to the contrary, his is an incredible shrinking presidency. Unfortunately, he is also making the entire US weaker and less relevant along the way. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Remember during the Yalta conference when FDR went on and on about how busy DC's bars were, and Stalin was like, have you seen the lines outside the Moscow bars, and poor Churchill couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Trump on DC: "The restaurants the last two days were busier than they've been in a long time." (Data in fact shows restaurant business dropping sharply over last week.)

This week, @realDonaldTrump referred to Alaska being Russian, twice. Today, he called St. Petersburg Leningrad. If this were the “Manchurian Candidate”, the President would be exposed as a Russian agent.

Trump's geopolitical gaffe, mistaking Alaska for Russia in his Putin rendezvous claim, unveils a presidency adrift in senile fog, while critics who pilloried Biden's slips now feign oblivion. #TrumpDecline

Trump collaborator and nominee for U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, abruptly ended a press conference after facing real questions. She had been touting that a federal deployment of more than 850 led to just 23 arrests, most for minor offenses, in a city of 702,250 people.

Whitehouse: "Let me mention first just how very bizarre it is that the Deputy AG is going out to do a witness interview. It really raises the question whether he's doing that in the role as Deputy AG, or if he's stepping back into his role as Trump criminal defense lawyer."

Ohio steel mill's Biden-backed hydrogen furnace plan, promising 1M fewer tons of emissions yearly and 1,350 jobs, now shelved by Trump admin freezes. Middletown residents endure dust, health woes, and dashed dreams of a greener future.

Trump is skipping over all potential checks on use of force. Intl law - no claim of self defense. US law - no AUMF, does not meet WPR criteria, Article 2 so stretched it’s tearing. Partisan congressional notification only. Intel and defense principals objected. Vast majority of Americans opposed. 1/

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

Trump has declared that he will add a 50% tariff on Europe on June 1st. The US heavily relies on an export economy and Europe is its biggest customer. This new move is part of an ongoing pattern of market manipulation and stock pump & dump by the Trump regime and its collaborators.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

Pete Hegseth installed Signal on a secure Pentagon computer—then used it to leak strike plans straight from a classified system. This isn’t a “glitch.” This is deliberate, dangerous, and disqualifying. He’s a severe national security threat. Fire him. MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Newsom: He took water that was set aside for this summer from one part of Central Valley and dumped it into another part—without telling them.. They had to turn off the pump because it was starting to impact the levees. None of it went to Southern California.

Indiana congresswoman says, “You violated the law, you don’t get due process.” These are the same lawmakers who oppose Red Flag Laws because they don’t provide armed domestic abusers with … due process.

In a nutshell: — The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence. — The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information. Arrest them. Immediately.
