U.S. can’t be trusted to lead peace process As the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine grinds on, it is clear that the United States cannot be trusted to lead the peace process.

The U.S. can’t be trusted to lead the peace process.

Meanwhile, Europe, Canada & the rest of the Coalition of the Willing should help Ukraine to defeat Russia by arming the Ukrainians to the teeth whilst collapsing the Russian economy with sanctions.

News and culture is very rapidly being dominated by administration-aligned companies. It's actually astonishing how fast this has happened. And it's not stopping.

Today will be a significant detail in the many, many textbooks that will be written about the era I fear we're still at the start of.

Rep. Walkinshaw: β€œChairman Comer has set a precedent here that not only do we subpoena former presidents, but if those former presidents don't show up…we’ll threaten to put them in jail…If Democrats are in the majority we’ll be less focused on putting folks in jail and more focused on the truth.”

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace β€” without being treated like a threat.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

A senior CBS News staffer expressed sympathy for employees at CNN who are frustrated and upset over the Paramount news. "I need to keep reminding myself it can - and will - always get worse," the staffer told me, adding that CNN staffers "should" be freaking out since "it's hell over here."

Hillary Clinton: "If you are new to this issue, let me tell you: Jeffrey Epstein was a heinous individual, but he's far from alone. This is not a one-off tabloid sensation or a political scandal. It's a global scourge with an unimaginable human toll."

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Columbia President with NEW details:

5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.

They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."

A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.

They ignored him & took the student.

Reminder:
Watergate didn’t collapse because the people in power decided to tell the truth. It collapsed because reporters kept digging and the public refused to look away.
Iran-Contra didn’t unravel on its own either. It unraveled under exposure and pressure.

Markwayne Mullin: "The ACA is unaffordable".

Argentina- $40 Billion
Board Of Peace- $10 Billion
Qatar Jet refit- $1 Billion
ICE- $85 Billion increase
Trump demands $10 Billion personally because we saw his taxes.
And the kicker, $500 Billion MORE to the Pentagon
But health care is "unaffordable"πŸ™„

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"
