In an interview this afternoon Haley Robson(trafficked by Epstein as a child) was incredible. Wow! She made Richard Stengel cry. You should watch it.

USMC Ret. Lt. Colonel Joe Plenzler deployed with the same Marine battalion now heading to Los Angeles. Marines training for war are now being deployed against American citizens. This crosses a dangerous line. Brothers, remember your ethos, #RememberYourOath.

It sounds like the Republican leadership of the House Committee on Homeland Security is investigating the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Charities USA, & other religious organizations for helping immigrants during the Biden-Harris administration. homeland.house.gov/2025/06/11/c...

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

This reminds me a lot of the abortion issue. As long as "abortion bans" were an abstract issue, it was easy for people to be "pro-life" — because they didn't think of the victims as real people in this hypothetical. Once actual women were denied abortions, though, the narrative shifted.
