As the grandson of Col Leslie MacDill, who gave his life for this country, I am disgusted by the mistreatment of our service members and families. It shouldn’t have to come to this.
The funds have already been approved by Congress.
Our service members and their family members suffering from toxic exposure IN THEIR HOMES shouldn’t have to wait on incompetent leadership or the results of an election to receive a remedy.
It's scary that no one is starting Impeachment procedures when the President of the USA says he stands with North Korea. Wake up USA he will kill us all.
It’s mind blowing to me that with all the grift Thumper and family have done in crypto, Gaza, Venezuela and from “donors” in private meetings at Mar A Lago that our legislative leaders could even consider shielding him from IRS audit. The fact he wants it at all is a tell… Scum.
How can we stop? The self loathing, abusive man some call Mr President. Is dragging us all down at a scale I never would have thought possible. Money has corrupted everything around him…his children, his friends, the GOP and our White House.
Only congress and the Courts can stop this by overturning Citizens United, taxing and redistributing wealth to promote social supports, public health, and communities.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian: “The US government's conduct as World Cup host follows its familiar foreign policy: bending rules, bullying rivals, creating obstacles, and cheating.
“This is their MAGA playbook. Iran rejects such games. We stand firmly for our rights.”
VOLUNTEER: Senator Collins, I just really wanted to thank you for standing with Trump when it really counts.
SUSAN COLLINS: Thank you.
CROWD MEMBER: Stay strong
Handwriting isn’t just “slower typing.”
EEG studies show writing by hand recruits broader sensorimotor, visual, memory, and attentional networks than typing the same words.
The brain learns through movement too, not only through information. 🧠✍️

BREAKING: Congressman Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) is introducing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Supreme Court Justices.
The ROBE Act would establish 18-year term limits for justices.
Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion.
Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.
We live to fight another day! A victory tonight—as we killed a backroom deal Johnson and the WH cut to extend FISA authority for five more years. Dropped in the middle of the night.
We killed it on the Floor. But, it will be back. So we must keep fighting!
BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.
THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”
The lobbyists have always trying to influence policies about spending, taxes, and property rights. Since Citizens United they can effectively take over the media platforms and buy the policies with algorithms and distortions.
I want to remind folks of something that’s still raw for me. After the 2024 loss, most Dems in Congress went quiet. You remember the silence. It was deafening.
Jasmine Crockett did the opposite. She stepped up early, got loud, and was never afraid to take on Trump.
