The other day, I visited an exhibition that left me speechless.
It shows women who lost their sons and husbands in the war.

Iโ€™m sharing part of it with a poem that played during the video.
I added English subtitles. For you.

Please watch. And share. So others can see too.

God, what a moron! The US does not have any taxing authority over foreign governments. WE AMERICANS are the ones paying his asinine tariffs.

Zohran Mamdani scores 17-point lead with Jewish voters in NYC mayoral race Mamdani's support among Jewish voters comes after accusations from opponents and some community leaders that his criticism of Israel represents antisemitism.

itโ€™s almost like all the attacks calling Mamdani antisemitic were vapid bad faith bullshit created by politicians with no policy plan other than smashing the โ€œscary muslimโ€ button

Look, itโ€™s not throwing men into foreign torture prisons, or killing millions through aid cuts, but Donald Trump is a man of so little taste that he looked at the White House Rose Garden and said โ€œIโ€™m gonna pave it over.โ€

The man is a reverse Midas; everything he touches turns to s**t.

A month ago, Scott Bessent told a CNN anchor with a straight face: "The President is probably the most economically sophisticated president we've had in probably 100 years, maybe ever."

Oooh, scary! So Trump is going to raise the prices of Russian imports for any Americans who buy them! What are those imports again? But Iโ€™m sure thatโ€™ll teach ole Putin a lesson!

Start sinking/detaining these vessels and sell of the ships and cargo raising $$$ for Ukraine and that changes everything. Of course itโ€™s an act of war. But so is Russiaโ€™s invasion of Ukraine.

Emil Bove has been confirmed.

When I testified about his complicity in Trumpโ€™s abuse of power, I spoke about my niece, Ryland. I'm thinking of her tonight.

Bove will likely be ruling on reproductive rights, executive power, and elections into her 30s.

What a disgrace.

NEW: For the first time in 5 years, the VA has recorded a net loss of THOUSANDS of health care positions, including 688 doctors, 1,882 nurses, and 201 psychologists.

Trump is the most anti-Veteran president in history. And his administration is LYING to try to cover it up.
