Is there anything more American than skimming obscene amounts of money off of a charity purported to exist to help the disadvantaged? Well, churches have, too!
Franklin Graham gives himself $720,000/year from one of his charities called "Samaritan's Purse," with, clearly, the emphasis on the purse.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result โ and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump adminโs Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

A tweet from MilitaryNewsUA with a Ukraine flag emoji. It reports that Sweden will not recognize Russiaโs annexation of Ukrainian territories, quoting Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard. Below is a long block quote affirming that borders cannot be changed by force and that Ukraineโs armed forces and people must retain full sovereignty, including the path toward EU membership.
A screenshot of Swedenโs foreign minister speaking at a wooden podium inside a legislative chamber. The caption states that Sweden does not recognize Russiaโs illegal annexation of Crimea or other Ukrainian territory and will not reward aggression. The video overlay includes Ukrainian subtitles.
This is how itโs done, U.S. negotiators. Learn from other strong leaders how to deal with criminal aggressors.

Almost all of the "MAGA" accounts on X have been determined to be located in other countries. Trump literally has to pretend he still has a huge following.
We know better. Hell, DC insiders are quietly working to oust him.

After ousting the BLS director and scrapping the October jobs and inflation reports, Trump is now canceling release of the advance Q3 GDP estimate.
Trump doesn't mind turning the lights off on the economy because heโd rather Americans not know how badly itโs doing under him.

Activate climateโs โsilent majorityโ to supercharge action, experts say
Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed
A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe theyโre in a minority.
People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action.

It has a little something to do with Donald Trump.
QAnon should be celebrating the Epstein revelations. Instead, theyโre panicking because the trail keeps leading back to Trump.

@PeteHegseth on X: The video made by the โSeditious Sixโ was despicable, reckless, and false. Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of their Commanders undermines every aspect of โgood order and discipline.โ Their foolish screed sows doubt and confusion โ which only puts our warriors in danger.
Five of the six individuals in that video do not fall under @DeptofWar jurisdiction (one is CIA and four are former military but not โretiredโ, so they are no longer subject to UCMJ). However, Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJโand he knows that.
As was announced, the Department is reviewing his statements and actions, which were addressed directly to all troops while explicitly using his rank and service affiliationโlending the appearance of authority to his words. Kellyโs conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately.
