When will people stop using our differences to sow hate? My 93-year old dad says being blind is that he simply hears/senses when a person is caring, genuine, etc. No skin color, no gender choice, etc. He hates that it’s getting worse for everyone b/c of our current president & Admin spewing hatred.

I ask the same question over and over again. Unfortunately the only reason I can think of is that the Republicans in Congress are greedy, afraid, & feckless.

BREAKING: The New York Times is suing the Department of Defense over the Pentagon’s new restrictions on press access. The Times is seeking a declaration that the new policy is unconstitutional on its face and an injunction barring its enforcement.

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

The good news:

1) Aftyn Behn moved a ruby red district 12 points more blue.

2) She can and should run again in the midterm election.

3) With real investment and good candidates, every R+ 7 or less seat is now in play.

The bad news:

Rural white voters are still the absolute worst.

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected.

Small businesses were the hardest hit.

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

The mainstream media has been made inconsequential by their bending of the knee to this corrupt Administration. That’s why I get my news from you, @meidastouch.com, @theatlantic.com, etc.

How can we sit and watch Trump’s son in law and that US estate agent carve up Ukraine opposite a grinning Putin. This is Trump corruption.
Ukraine urgently needs funds and weapons, military support and a clear indication that the West means business

Suspect in National Guard attack struggled with 'dark isolation' as community raised concerns Emails obtained by the Associated Press show that the Afghan man accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House had been unraveling for years.

Maybe, just maybe, if the FBI counterterrorism desk hadn't been retasked to chasing abuelitas, somebody might've followed up on the tips...

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The lectureer, Rutger Bregman said that President Trump was the β€œmost openly corrupt president in American history”. This was removed before his lecture was broadcast on Tuesday.

Because, of course, what he said was true.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.

Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.

This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important
