The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Buried in the House’s budget reconciliation bill — now pending in the Senate — is a legislative provision that takes aim at the federal judiciary. Congress should remove it.

Downtown LA tonight: No riots, but some will see this and still say, “That’s what I voted for” instead of “Love thy neighbor.”

This is dangerous and disgraceful. Let’s be clear: This isn’t about “conflicts of interest.” It’s about consolidating power, pushing conspiracy theories, and gutting our ability to respond to public health threats. www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/h...

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Rep Flood (R-NE) voted for a bill that guts the federal court's authority to enforce contempt orders. When a voter confronted him, he claimed: “I didn’t know that was on the bill.” Since when do lawyers sign without reading docs first? If that’s true, he’s incompetent. If it’s not, he’s lying.

"the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight NSF directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced. The current directors and deputy directors...might be reassigned to other positions at the agency or elsewhere in the federal government."

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

First, satellites do not replace radiosondes. Radiosondes are the ONLY way you can get measurements every 15’ through the atmosphere. Second, services HAVE BEEN disrupted. Missed balloon flights is a disrupted service. Offices not open 24/7 is a disrupted service.

This is fascism.
