I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say
Federal agents have searched Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation. That's according to people familiar with the matter.

I agree with you, however, what he does on issues like this is to drop a grain of sand in peoples minds. And the next time something like this comes up, another grain of sand gets dropped in people’s minds. This drip, drip, drip routine of his affects morons’ limited brains. . Huge danger there.

ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.

Is it time to rethink the nuclear triad? The Sentinel program is hugely expensive. SSBNs are super effective. And a few bombs or missiles here and there on Air Force bombers can do the job too. Why land-based ICBMs?

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Check out Brooke Nevils' book "Unspeakable Things" (2026). It examines myths about how female victims supposedly “should” behave after sexual assault. Very relevant to the fact that survivors' actual behavior may not resemble stereotypical or expected ideas of victim behavior.

Military planes tend to have a "crew", a team that regularly works together. In contrast, civilian airlines most often just put together a flight crew consisting of the next person on the list. Pilots often don't know each other. Stranger danger.
