I know that the people who need to read this arenโ€™t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement arenโ€™t for the enemy. Theyโ€™re for you. Theyโ€™re for your soldiers when theyโ€™re captured or wounded. Theyโ€™re for your civilians when theyโ€™re in range of the enemy. Theyโ€™re for your allies, to reassure.

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard

FYI: This is what leadership looks like.

Watch Rep Joe Neguse (D-CO) take apart Kristi Noem (R-SD) with surgical precision over her corrupt and fraudulent $200 million no bid ad campaign for DHS. This man never ceases to amaze me with how good he is at this. Great job congressman!!๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ

Jane Fonda is more than an icon; sheโ€™s a force for justice. From her anti-war activism to the frontlines of the climate crisis w/ Fire Drill Fridays, she uses her platform to demand a livable future. Sheโ€™s unstoppable in her activism!

Justice Dept., Under Pressure From Trump, Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden

BREAKING NYT:

The Justice Department, in the wake of Trump calls to criminally investigate President Biden, scrutinized whether Biden and his aides broke the law in using the autopen to sign presidential documents โ€” but couldn't move forward with making a case.

The autopen investigation continued after Mr. Martin was removed from the prosecutorโ€™s office and replaced by Ms. Pirro, but it suffered from several crucial problems, according to the people familiar with the inquiry, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss deliberations that are supposed to remain secret. Investigators were never quite clear what crime, if any, had been committed by the Biden administrationโ€™s use of the autopen.

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if youโ€™ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

As stupid as the subpoenas to the Clintons (especially Hillary) were, it laid the groundwork for this.

War is often discussed in maps and strategy.
But sometimes it becomes real in a single photograph.
That photograph showed four Americans who gave everything.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled โ€œU.S. Central Command โ€“ Unclassifiedโ€ shows a strike.

โ€œImminent.โ€ You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
