As a veteran of the United States Navy, I used to smile when my son hinted at wanting to join the military. He graduates next year. He's going to a trade school. He's not going to be used as a pawn in threats or potential attacks on our allies. I support him...fully.

If Trump wants to invade someone for their oil, land and natural resources he should invade Russia - he won't because he's a coward

With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congress—and the country—are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time. It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films. What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

I’m the daughter of a preacher. The mentality in my family around vaccines wasn’t “we don’t need them, God will save us.” It was “thank God for the scientists who created these life-saving vaccines.”

Cotton froze when Berman asked the obvious: “Would it be legal for Arkansas police to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat?” He can’t defend the legality of the strike without admitting it would be illegal at home, and it exposes Trump and Hegseth. #holdfast www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fDt...

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time. The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

The law requires Trump to continue to fund SNAP. Instead, he's trying to steal food from the mouths of hungry children.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: ICE has detained hundreds of U.S. citizens by “mistake.” And now they want 100,000 beds and more planes to scale up? They’re not deporting “illegals”—they’re running a kidnapping ring with government contracts.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."
