Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Headlines saying that Trump "lost" the Nobel Peace Prize presume that he was ever actually in the running, which any person with two braincells could tell you wasn't ever a real thing - except in his and his sycophant's heads.

Trump in 2017: โ€œQatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.โ€

Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

Newyorker cartoon. Military leader talking to troops with chart next to him. Chart says "Operation Circular Reasoning", and leader is saying "We're being deployed because of protests about us being deployed."

This is exactly what is happening. Stephen Miller and Trump want to provoke something to justify them taking even more extreme actions. It's disgusting and unAmerican.

Every day I wake up and wonder why Merrick Garland didn't just do his job. Imagine how relaxed we'd all be right now if he had just lifted a finger.

Sigh....

The Legislature needs to address this. Dense housing is an environmental net positive. Weaponizing SEPA like this should be outlawed.

Every day, I support the courage it takes to live authentically & show up as your whole self.

In celebration of #NationalComingOutDay I honor all who are out, thinking about coming out, or think they never could.

No one should feel unsafe just existing.

Someone being trans doesn't affect anyone else's life. People need to live and let live, and focus on real issues, rather than manufacturing new boogeymen to demonize and dehumanize.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

No one who is trying to manufacture violence in their own country should be under any sort of consideration for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general.
The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

These are the people getting huge tax cuts โ€” paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans.

Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesnโ€™t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

What's next for Bastyr's campus in Kenmore Bastyr University will keep at least part of its Kenmore campus after initially planning to sell it amid financial troubles.

Excited that Bastyr University will be staying here in Kenmore! For years now they have been a wonderful partner with the city, and I hope they are here for decades to come!

Lawyers at the DOJ are shopping for extra malpractice insurance in anticipation of the illegal stuff Trump's going to ask them to do, according to Glenn Thrush. Could that be used as consciousness of guilt?

Taking political positions that'll make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didn't want it open to before. Running pro-life Democrats.
