Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life.

Here's what that can look like:

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.

It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

Why are we here? Citizens United, that’s why.

Hear more from our favorite seven-fingered dirt farmer Jon Tester on why we need to end Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

Why is no one talking about the millions of Americans the House GOP wants to uninsure? Thank Punchbowl.

I hosted a panel in Farmington, Missouri tonight. A huge turnout.

This is Jason Smith’s district. They are not happy about those CECOT pictures he posted…

Elon Musk says Saturday's protesters were "paid puppets." That's not what I saw. Right wingers are trying to discount the mass mobilization the country saw on Saturday.

oh they’re BOTHERED 🀭🀣

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgentβ€”and it needs to be shared far and wide.

International universities that teach in English Do you want to study abroad but are looking for courses taught in English? Here are some of the top international universities that may be well suited to your language requirements

Here’s a start:

True. But there are online language programs to learn language. Many universities have English language options. There are a lot of resources available that you will find as you research. Good luck!

We found a university in Luxembourg that only assesses $400/year to non-EU students to cover extra paperwork requirements. As you explore, consider cost of living because many universities don’t have dorms like in the US.

My kids are actively pursuing study outside the US. It’s more financially possible than I expected. Tuition at most universities is a fraction of the US - and 3 years instead of 4 further reduces cost. Cambridge (UK) tuition is the equivalent of the in-state public university tuition in our state.

That pure, joyful person is still who you are at your core. Your naΓ―vetΓ© is now wisdom, informed by knowledge and experience. I hope you can release the shame that comes with telling yourself that you β€œshould have known better” about the people who hurt you. It is their shame to carry, not yours.

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being β€œundermined.”

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns β€” but said Kennedy wishes β€œsubservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Using apps like Signal is in Project 2025 and related training videos teaching them to do this to avoid subpoenas and any accountability.

THREAD: Key questions today for every reporter and Congressman looking into #Signalgate:

1. How can anyone (aka Trump) trust Mike Waltz going forward since he's so dumb as to add a reporter to such a highly secretive group chat?

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days.

At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

Effective communication means knowing your audience and playing into it.

Approach a conversation with MAGA devotees like approaching a feral cat - if you go in too hot, they will fight or scurry away. MAGA love a conspiracy theory and feeling like they are in the know, so secret sprinkle facts.

I propose that we address MAGA misinformation by channeling Minnesota passive aggressive behavior. Sprinkle facts like sharing a secret, lean in, partially block the mouth with the back of your hand, loud whisper. β€œYes, I get it. (pause) But, (sprinkle facts).”
