Trump assumed a war would be helpful. It would justify emergency powers. It would deflect from his failures. It would make him seem larger. But it is making him smaller, more hostage to what’s occurring than leader, more Netanyahu’s patsy than partner, another president sucked into a forever war.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now
whatimreading.net
For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S.
The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the “first comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

Texas, today is your gut check. Democrats are outpacing Republicans in key urban and suburban pockets. The enthusiasm gap is closed. And when turnout spikes in Texas, the math gets very uncomfortable for the GOP. Keep it up, and the general is winnable for both of these candidates. LFG 🔥

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.
