Firing squad execution to be livestreamed, Pentagon says. Lost for words at the insanity in Trumpistan, a truly sick dictatorship. Like medieval times, executions offered as a public spectacle in a country that claims to be Christian. What next?

Fort Hood attacker's execution by firing squad will be livestreamed, Pentagon says
Pete Hegseth says the execution will be public, but a legal expert says the "unprecedented" decision is on "uncertain legal terrain".

fiscal year 2025 grant funding for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality after mass layoffs dismantled the agency’s ability to award grants. Congress appropriated that money for research. The administration was legally required to make it available.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

For months Gabriela Soto has relentlessly advocated for her husband Martin, unlawfully detained by ICE while buying diapers for their baby. Martin played a key role in the Delaney Hall hunger strike this summer. Last night we was RELEASED from ICE custody. ALWAYS FIGHT BACK.

We pay extra for every execution, way above and beyond what it would cost us to keep them in prison for life without possibility of parole. The death penalty is a bad business practice, besides making all of us party to the act of killing.

Well isn’t this self-serving? The White House confirmed that the Trump administration has asked officials to look into creating a presidential retreat at Trump’s own golf club in Palm Beach “for future Presidents.” We already have Camp David.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.
