Tulsi Gabbard and team say the "whistleblowers" are "politically" motivated. Yah think? maybe wanting to keep a free democracy alive and well by exposing those who work for our adversaries and do not have democracy at heart.

this should not be a difficult concept to grasp. Democracy is at stake here.

Sadly, this is the ICE M.O.: Assault innocent people and then tell elaborate lies to blame the victim. No judge should give any credence to anything a DHS lawyer says to them. They have proven themselves to be liars too often.

Paris prosecutors raid X offices as part of an investigation into child porn, deepfakes and more French prosecutors have launched a search at the offices of Elon Musk's social media platform X. This is part of an investigation into alleged offenses, including spreading child pornography and deepfakes.

Let’s, for a moment, imagine President Biden had said that… the press would have been all over it, screaming how unfit he was for office. Where is that kind of outrage now?

Is Trump the US version of Caligula? ~ self-indulgent, cruel, sadistic, extravagant, and sexually perverted, thereafter, an insane, murderous tyrant who demanded and received worship as a living god, humiliated the Senate, and planned to make his horse a consul. Or is he our Nero?

Imagine that as AI starts to really dig into translations, uncovering those missing words that may be too faded or partially missing, and the human eye can't decipher. How will our translations evolve?

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said, ”I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." -…I think, looking at West Texas and the win there, this quote may be applicable

Do any of these MAGA people call themselves Christians? Maybe Christian nationalists but real followers of Jesus and the gospel message?

Thomas Merton. “On the last day of January 1915, under the sign of the Water Bearer, in a year of a great war, and down in the shadows of some French mountains on the borders of Spain, I came into the world. Free by nature, in the image of God, I was nevertheless the prisoner of my own violence."

Florida's next governor:

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this.

A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants.

Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

This is one of the best analyses of what is going on you will ever read. It is well worth your time.

Under Pope Leo’s leadership, the Church is emerging as a key defender against the cruelty, nihilism, and violence associated with the second Trump administration, compared to the silence and in many cases, outright support — from right-wing Evangelical “faith leaders.”

“The position of the Holy See is always to avoid any kind of violence, obviously, and therefore we cannot accept episodes of this kind. That is our position, as you know," Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin stated of the ongoing ICE operations in Minnesota.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

JD Vance says a mob of protesters tried to attack agents at dinner. But the restaurant manager says that’s not really what happened.

It seems DHS exaggerated the incident to Vance, who took their account to bolster the administration’s narrative that protesters are aggressors. trib.al/f1uJgW2

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

The targeting of Fed Chair Jerome Powell is our warning. The Fed must stay independent not because it's perfect, but because once monetary policy becomes political, economic stability collapses.
