If this enrages you, it should. And you’re not alone. The 19-year-old sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln is facing disciplinary charges instead of receiving the mental health services he needs. 👀

So the guy who wanted peaceful protesters in DC to be shot is threatening Iran for shooting protesters there. Have I got that right?

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

a detail that appears with fairly regular occurrence in many personal accounts of the Nazi regime is how many individuals died from stroke, heart attacks, and similar health complications because of the stress and despondency that was inflicted on those whose lives were ruined by the regime.

Column by Philip Kennicott: The painting “Immigrants Crossing the Border Wall Into South Texas” was included on a list of Smithsonian artworks, exhibitions and programming that the Trump administration considers woke or anti-American.

Column | His art is inspired by Rubens and Velázquez. Trump says it’s woke.
The administration’s campaign against what it calls divisive art targets realism, representation, empathy and Christianity.

Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.
