worth noting that Senator McConnell, could have mitigated much of the harm that's been done by doing the right thing in 2020, 2021 He's responsible for so much of what's happened since 2016

Himes: I got a little bit more of an up-close-and-personal look at some of the damage that was done. I’ll tell you what: the Iranians hit our embassies. They hit pretty much all of our military facilities in the area.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

As if funneling $13 million through his super PACs wasn't enough, now Musk is bribing voters as he tries to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. If we want to stop billionaires from meddling in our elections, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

Musk's PAC offers $100 to Wisconsin voters in pitch against "activist judges"
The move reflects how Musk is throwing his considerable wealth behind Trump's priorities — including an upcoming election in Wisconsin for a crucial seat on the state's Supreme Court.

Finally, you might disagree with Khalil’s views, but consider this: Once the U.S. “officially” allies with Russia (or North Korea, or whoever), then speaking out against those regimes will be fair game for detention and deportation if they agree to pay to play. Is that America?
