'Reckless' Trump flirting with a nuclear crisis’ after being trolled: military expert On Friday, President Donald Trump gave a stark warning to Russia that included the strategic positioning of nuclear submarines, a warning that former Naval College professor Tom Nichols, who now write...

I object to Trump being referred to as the “most powerful man on the planet.” In his mind maybe, but he only hasn’t power right now because our elected officials refuse to stand up to him.

I just came from the Post Office in Northampton, MA. It is 95 degrees in our area today, and the A/C at the Post Office is broken. The desk clerk told me they have been told it could take up to seven months to get approval for repairs. They are working in a hot building with open doors and fans.

Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants? A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."

Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US.
Antidepressants save women's lives—& they're safe.
So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms?

The image is a stark, thought-provoking illustration. On the left, it depicts an emaciated, skeletal figure resembling a starving child, crouched down with one hand covering its face and the other hand extended in a begging gesture. In front of the child, there's a water tap, but instead of being connected to a water source, the hose is held by a large, well-dressed figure in a suit, whose face is not visible. The figure's posture and the control of the hose suggest power and authority. This powerful artwork seems to comment on issues related to inequality, resource control, and exploitation.

This was Lincoln’s mistake when he said we had to embrace the south to heal the nation after the Civil War. It has led us at last to where we are now.

A Horrible Truth That Shouldn’t Be….

A tweet from Sen. Tammy Baldwin reads: "BREAKING: The Trump Administration has arrested a sitting Milwaukee judge. My statement below: [Blue graphic with white text.] "In the United States, we have a system of checks and balances and separations of power for damn good reasons. The President’s administration arresting a sitting judge is a gravely serious and drastic move, and it threatens to breach those very separations of power. Make no mistake, we do not have kings in this country and we are a Democracy governed by laws that everyone must abide by. By relentlessly attacking the judicial system, flouting court orders, and arresting a sitting judge, this President is putting those basic Democratic values that Wisconsinites hold dear on the line. While details of this exact case remain minimal, this action fits into the deeply concerning pattern of this President’s lawless behavior and undermining courts and Congress’s checks on his power."

Trump arrested a judge. If that doesn’t terrify you, it should.
