Remember Thomas Jacob Sanford, the Iraq veteran who burned up a Mormon Church in September? Remember Nigel Edge, the Iraq veteran sniper who shot up a bar from his boat in Cape Fear, also in September?

Keep track of how differently we speak of them than Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

RFK Jr. Blasted by Brother for ‘Betraying’ Father’s Legacy Maxwell Taylor Kennedy has savaged the Health Secretary in an op-ed.

In celebration of what would have been Robert F. Kennedy’s 100th birthday, Maxwell Taylor Kennedy has penned an op-ed celebrating his father’s legacy—and savaging his brother, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for tearing it down.

This isn’t complicated.

This.

My beef with the Senate Dems is that things were turning around. Trump’s polls were in free fall. That’s not the time to make a bad deal, unless there were other factors we don’t know about. And that kind of shit is rarely good.

Here are the at least 6 House Democrats, 3 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 4 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

I’m terribly disappointed in him.

Hakeem Jeffries Says Trump Is Running “Pedophile Protection Program” The Democratic leader is fed up with Republicans’ blatant attempt to delay a vote on the Epstein files.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva “is unable to serve 800,000 people in the state of Arizona all because of the pedophile protection program being run by Mike Johnson and House Republicans at the direction of their boss, Donald J. Trump,” said @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/post/202623/...

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.

The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

Another pardoned January 6 attacker arrested and charged with other, new felonies (in this case, kidnapping and sexual assault).

And don’t miss the part where he got caught firing off a gun on Jan. 6. You may recall the argument that it couldn’t have been an insurrection because it wasn’t armed.

Pledge to Hang Up on T-Mobile T-Mobile is siding with the Trump Administration and far-right extremists like Elon Musk. It’s time for people of conscience to find a better phone carrier.

Republicans once again threatening us with a good time

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened”
In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job

Anyway he’s dead

Don't forget. By the standards from 20 years ago, Dick Cheney was a monster, than he got a heart at age 71. The fact that many see him today as a "normal" politician is just the testament of how low is the moral bar today.

Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.
