Obama in his tan suit

Struck a deal to contain Iran's nuclear program forever.

Didn't go to war in Iran.

DID IT ALL IN A TAN SUIT.

As it relates to current news,

I don’t know what to say.

Keep screaming. Keep fighting.

Protect your loved ones. Protect humanity.

Vote. Vote. Vote.

Refuse to roll over. Refuse to give up.

They cannot win. They simply cannot.

Is Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s super-duper secure SCIF with soft banquet-hall curtains, open air top, unsecured electronic devices, and roving guests located next to the bathroom where the classified documents are stored?

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

The problem with Dem messaging (and hear I mean β€œa couple of Dems”) that β€œI don’t object to what Trump did but how he did it” is 1) most Americans object to what he did and 2) it invites the question β€œso why didn’t Dems do it?”

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.

I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

A social media post from "kacee420" reads, "Please pray for my son's safety. Please pray for all our troops. Us military moms are all freaking out a little right now πŸ˜₯". It features two photos: one of a smiling woman next to a man in military fatigues, and a formal portrait of a different man in uniform with the name tag "BONGARZONE" in front of an American flag.

A selfie shows two smiling women; the one in front wears a white strapless top and a blue baseball cap with mirrored text "GULF OF AMERICA," while the other woman smiles beside her. In the background, a man plays acoustic guitar on a lit stage, and the post header reads, "Kacee Jewers updated her profile picture. April 4, 2025."

A post by "eowynskarsgard" quotes another post by "Kacee Jewers" from "Jan 21, 2021." The quoted text begins, "BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Can't make this shit up!!" and includes a news image of a smiling man in a suit in front of American flags, with the headline "Statewide stay-at-home advisory, early business curfew will be lifted Monday."

At least you’re getting what you voted for. Too bad the rest of us keep getting what you voted for too.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Researchers praise β€˜stunning’ results of new prostate cancer treatment Early trials of the drug VIR-5500 showed it shrinking tumours in some patients

I have this cancer in remission (nearly 20 years now). I'm convinced the only reason I'm still alive is because I was (for a neuro knock-on catastrophe) treated with immunoglobulin donated by strangers. Their antibodies taught mine, got me out of a wheelchair.

Nobody wants this war except Netanyahu, and Trump didn’t even bother trying to explain it to the American people. They really think they’ll never be held accountable for their actions, and we have to prove them wrong.

Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power.

Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings β€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.

Can Trump cancel the election in all 50 states and DC? No. Can he even rig the rules for state run elections? Also no. Is it seriously alarming that the thought is on his mind? And that the media and the Dems don’t seem to think this is a big priority? Yes.

Live with Ruth Ben-Ghiat & Joyce Vance No one speaks more eloquently about the art of resistance and why we shouldn’t give up than historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, the author of Lucid here on Substack.

Authoritarianism scholar Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains why she believes Americans are succeeding at developing systems to resist the slide into authoritarianism and why we shouldn’t give up. joycevance.substack.com/p/live-with-...

Hmmm. In Epstein's sweetheart deal he got immunity for co-conspirators. Why when DOJ and FBI says there were NO co-conspirators?
