Thousands showed up in Seattleโ€”nurses, doctors, educatorsโ€”people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen.
#FundHealthcareOverICE

Intelligence watchdog shares whistleblower complaint involving Gabbard with Congress after monthslong delay The complaint was closed administratively by the intelligence community inspector general's office in June 2025, under prior leadership, watchdog says.

Gabbard held this up for 8 months with a truckload of excuses from executive privilege to "It's too classified for Congress." They have FINALLY transmitted the whistleblower report to Congress. www.cbsnews.com/news/intelli...

Australian tropical rainforest trees switch in world first from carbon sink to emissions source Researchers say carbon emissions change in Queensland tropical rainforests may have global climate implications

This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly โ€“ not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#Trumpend
When #MAGA has been purged, and Democrats/Progressives are in charge of everything, we need to remove Trump's name off of everything, and tear down all monuments or works via his ripping off the American taxpayers to feed his criminal narcissism.

We must sanitize the Trump scourge.

If they try to "federalize elections" it's obviously time to secede.

Black-and-white studio portrait of Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte, a Native American woman in her thirties or forties, facing forward with a calm, direct gaze toward the camera. She has dark hair pulled back neatly into a bun, prominent cheekbones, and a serious yet composed expression. She wears a high-necked, long-sleeved dark Victorian-style dress with a patterned white lace or floral insert at the collar, creating a contrast against the solid dark fabric.

Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte was the first #NativeAmerican woman to become a physician in the United States. A member of the Omaha tribe, she campaigned for public health & for the formal, legal allotment of land to members of her tribe.

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

Theyโ€™re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

Every time Trump praises Putin as wanting peace, Putin bombs the living shit out of Ukraine to make Trump look like the lying, compromised old fool that he is.
Isn't it time for Trump to send real tough negotiators to Moscow instead of pansy boy Jared b/c Putin devours weakness.
