Trump is reported to be considering imposing The Insurrection Act of 1807. The term “insurrection” is being tossed about by the usual White House henchpersons and minions.

Russia has deliberately sent drones into Poland. One caused damage to a civilian residence. Several were shot down by fighter jets. Combine this with threats against Finland. Trump’s limp response against Russia in Ukraine is one big cause of this. Stand with Poland.

History will NOT be kind to them.

Their “frustration” is irrelevant. Who cares? They know RFK Jr is dangerous, unfit, & is going to hurt a lot of people. But their fear of retribution from Trump is the deciding factor in all their inaction. They put their political survival over the lives and health of Americans.

This Democrat Proves You Can Be Principled, Effective—and Popular Zohran Mamdani has pointed to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu as a model. There are many good reasons why.

In one of the debates in New York mayor's race, Mamdani (and Lander) both praised Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. She has been one of the most passionate voices defending cities and urban life as Trump trashes them. And she's stayed popular in way Brandon Johnson has not. newrepublic.com/article/1997...
