Ted Cruz booed mercilessly on @collegegameday.bsky.social is amazing. Maybe you guys should’ve rethought that.

I don’t care for UFC personally, but I’m not a hater. However, the whole thing is trashy and self-serving for an audience of one. I just hope the turn out sucks by UFC standards.

DOJ indicting someone for posting 86 47 on social media is far more dangerous to Americans than someone posting 86 47 on social media. The real crime is the indictment itself.

@babybluetx.bsky.social was recruited to join Turning Point USA as an impressionable young woman. She was just looking for a place to belong & with her conservative Texas roots, it made sense. She exposes the tactics used to target young people to be "conservative." youtu.be/bB5slbyujII?...

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Tr*mp is named in the Epstein files over 1 million times. The FBI & members of Congress KNOW he raped children. So, those with the power to do something about it are either being threatened not to or theyre complicit. Either way, the fact that he’s not being held accountable is beyond unacceptable.

The U.S. just lifted sanctions on Russian cargo ships and multiple high-profile narcotics figures. Dozens of names were removed from the Specially Designated Nationals list—including vessels tied to major Russian leasing operations and individuals linked to Mexican and Colombian drug networks.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

"By killing [Khamenei], the US and Israel didn’t just strike Iran’s government. They struck a spiritual leader with transnational religious authority – and created exactly the kind of martyr that galvanizes movements for generations." - fascinating and important piece by Iran scholar Narges Bajoghli

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats
