“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

I was a senior in college. Came back to my apt from class and my roomies were glued to the tiny TV we had. It was a terrible feeling…..didn’t feel anything like that until the twin towers came down.

"Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day today, haven't we?" "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow though." - Grant and Sherman after the disaster of the first day of Shiloh, April 1862. They won the next. Today is one of the bad days in American history. Better days will come.

BREAKING: Stunning new reporting shows that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's DOGE plans on cutting $119 million in Veterans healthcare benefits. This is terrifying.

NEW: Kash Patel, Trump's pick to be FBI director, has vowed to seek revenge against the so-called Deep State, and he's cooked up a list of people to target. It includes prominent Republicans & shows how crackpot his Deep State conspiracy is. Please pass this on. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Here are the Republicans Kash Patel wants to target
Trump's pick to be FBI director has expressed an intent to mount a revenge-a-thon that will include not just Democrats.

Rep. Dan Goldman: "I find it pretty ironic and hypocritical that so many Republicans have seemed to find the rule of law when it comes to Joe Biden's pardoning of Hunter, and are happily ignorant of the rule of law when it comes to Donald Trump and everything he has done."

Kash Patel will not be confirmed by the United States Senate Nor can Trump fire Wray on day one and just slap Kash directly into the FBI as acting. The Vacancies Reform Act does not allow it www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/... So why is Trump nominating him? Don’t assume there’s a strategy!

If you voted for Trump and depend on safety-net programs, congrats—you voted against yourself. SAY IT PLAIN: ‘Overhauling’ means cuts. 📌 Trump’s advisers and Republicans are already planning to slash Medicaid, food stamps, and more to pay for Trump’s massive tax cuts.

Matt Gaetz has officially withdrawn from being considered to be the next Attorney General, David A. Graham writes. The move comes after bipartisan outcry against the nomination, and forces Trump to nominate a contender with the ability to be confirmed:
