Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Trump’s misguided idea that he won by a landslide does not allow him to ride roughshod.

Majorities disapprove of his handling of crime, immigration, foreign policy, the economy & trade. Overwhelming majorities reject his efforts to censor broadcasters he disagrees with.
He’s a…DISASTER.

Thousands of words, often unintelligible, flow out of Trump’s mouth, the same blah, blah…but these?
These set off alarm bells:
“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military”, the President said.

Different & dangerous‼️

HE!! is the ENEMY FROM WITHIN. No doubt.

What? A offer they can’t refuse!?! Hmmm…sounds mafioso, capisci?

That would be a deal to lose yet another FREEDOM.
Academic Freedom.

I, like millions of Americans, had never cared about/heard much of Charlie Kirk before he was shot/killed. Since then MSM has fed us a steady diet of him…who his disciples are, what he said…ad nauseam…and I’m stuffed and want to be excused from the table.
PLEASE!

🚩🚩🚩🚩Trump & Hegseth announced new restrictions on reporters that include pre-approval of stories, even unclassified material & a new pledge to not publish any material without permission from gov officials.🚩🚩🚩

In other words, #FreedomOfThePress is being strangled

Trump/his people hate they can’t control you. They hate your freedom. They hate that you know more than they know and even talk back! They hate the fact that you can organize against them.
Do not obey in advance!
#FreedomOfThePress and #FreeSpeech are in danger.

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

No red carpet on the tarmac for Zelensky in February, was there?

No ride in the beast, was there?

No hand shake.

The crime rate in ALL those cities is going down. Plus more.

Rather than overreact, we should EXAMINE POLICIES that are successfully lowering violent crimes in those cities and double them!

Instead we suffer the creepy creeping use of force and overreach.

A couple of outstanding quotes from @maureendowd Opinion piece:

Real power doesn’t need to shout. In fact, it can whisper.

The president’s unbridled gilt reflects his unbridled greed.

And all that gold will not erase #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp

If we didn’t know any better, it sounds as if he’s turning himself in!
If only it were true🤣😂

“I’m announcing a historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, squalor & worse…and we’re going to take our capital back,” Trump told reporters…

Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit

Pressured by the WH, history is being altered. This is political interference at the Smithsonian.

References to Trump’s TWO impeachments have been removed from the historic exhibit.

Blood boil!🤬
Snagging people at immigration court, those doing what they’re supposed to do. They are following the law

This ICE tactic discourages people from showing up to try to do the right thing because they are targeted.

This is truly insane. We are witnessing one of the most corrupt cover-up schemes in history—and it's all playing out in plain view.

Judge Demands Answers About Deal to Return MS-13 Gang Leaders to El Salvador

Just mailed postcards to Virginia voters…hopefully this will impact how they vote in the November 4, 2025 gubernatorial and state legislature elections…remembering the benefit cuts go into effect AFTER THE 2026 Midterms.

Be an informed voter‼️

my daughter's preschool shares a building with a church, and once a week, that church has a farmers market type thing where they give fresh vegetables and food to folks in the community who need it.

if that is the stuff American churches primarily did, things would be way more chill.

“All Up in the Kool-Aid…and Don’t Know the Flavor”

Praising the President for usurping legislative powers?
Wildly inflating Trump’s approval rating?
Glossing over pedophilia reports?

Johnson’s flavor of choice is counterfeited orange.
He’s drowning in it.

Trump is underwater w his major campaign promises.
A majority of Americans disapprove of his immigration roundup tactics, his tariffs, his inability to end wars in Gaza & Ukraine…and his refusal to deal openly with the #EpsteinFiles
