Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.

He should be rejected by the Senate.

Statements from Covenant Mom Sarah Neumann & Rep. Shaundelle Brooks, whose son was killed in the Waffle House shooting, on today’s Antioch school shooting.

I was raised in a multi-generational organizing family and I can say with firsthand knowledge that 20th century organizers read theory and they studied history and literature quite closely

The need to do that hasn’t changed

If studying history isn’t part of your organizing work, change that

Carter Names Record Number of Minorities to Federal Bench

Please remember that President Carter appointed more minorities and women to the bench than all previous presidents combined. He was the first President to embrace the concept of bringing racial diversity to the federal bench. A key aspect of his legacy.

Opinion | Jimmy Carter Deserved Our Thanks and Respect, Not Our Sneers We in the media and chattering class jeered at a man who probably improved more lives over a longer period than any recent president.

"when his church refused to integrate, he left to help found a new one that welcomed everyone"

Biden’s Last Moves Here’s what the president can do to cement his legacy.

Before Biden leaves office, he should use his clemency power to protect people serving unjust sentences in the federal system. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

November 15, 2024 - STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP I am thrilled to announce that Doug Burgum, the Governor of North Dakota, will be joining my Administration as both Secretary of the Interior and, as Chairman of the newly formed, and very important, National Energy Council, which will consist of all Departments and Agencies involved in the permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, transportation, of ALL forms of American Energy. This Council will oversee the path to U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE by cutting red tape, enhancing private sector investments across all sectors of the Economy, and by focusing on INNOVATION over longstanding, but totally unnecessary, regulation. With U.S. Energy Dominance, we will drive down Inflation, win the A.I. arms race with China (and others), and expand American Diplomatic Power to end Wars all across the World.

The Radical Left's War on American Energy has hurt our Allies by forcing them to buy from our adversaries, who in turn use those profits to fund Wars and Terror. ENERGY DOMINANCE will allow us to sell Energy to our friends, including all European Nations, which will make the World a safer place. As Chairman of the National Energy Council, Doug will have a seat on the National Security Council. As Secretary of the Interior, Doug will be a key leader in ushering in a new "Golden Age of American Prosperity" and World Peace. The Biden-Harris Administration has driven our National Debt to a record $36 TRILLION DOLLARS. Yet America is blessed with vast amounts of "Liquid Gold" and other valuable Minerals and Resources, right beneath our feet. We will "DRILL BABY DRILL," expand ALL forms of Energy production to grow our Economy, and create good-paying jobs. By smartly utilizing our amazing National Assets, we will preserve and protect our most beautiful places, AND reduce our deficits and our debt! We will also undo the damage done by the Democrats to our Nation's Electrical Grid, by dramatically increasing baseload power. This will reduce the cost of Electrical bills that continue to skyrocket for Citizens and Small Businesses under Biden-Harris, and ensure that America has the power to serve all of our needs without the devastation of blackouts and brownouts, and to WIN the battle for A.I. superiority, which is key to National Security and our Nation's Prosperity. Doug Burgum will protect our Nation's Natural Resources, restore our fabulous Oil and Gas advantage, and Make America, and its Energy, Dominant and Great Again!

Pressing the fast-forward button on global warming:

Trump names Doug Burgum as both Secretary of the Interior AND Energy Czar.

Drill, baby, drill.

Family of Independence baby speaks out after her death in police shooting The family of a woman and baby killed in a police shooting Nov. 7 in Independence spoke out Tuesday about the incident which began with reports of a domestic disturbance.

Missouri police shot and killed a mother experiencing what sounds like postpartum psychosis and her 2 month old baby on a mental health call.

The police chief is defending the actions of the officer that shot them.

I have a 2 month old. It hits home.
