Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said โ€œno one has died" because of his governmentโ€™s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted โ€œno one has diedโ€ as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

The American Experiment At 250, the Revolutionโ€™s goals remain noble and indispensable.

250 years after the Revolution, the American project remains unfinished and troubled, but โ€œa project worth pursuing,โ€ @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social argues in The Atlanticโ€™s new issue.

Scott Maxwell: Pam Bondi's tenure as Florida's attorney general shows she is ambitious, transactional and ethically challenged Scott Maxwell: Pam Bondiโ€™s tenure as Floridaโ€™s attorney general shows she is ambitious, transactional and ethically challenged

If you ask Google if Pam Bondi was corrupt when she was in Florida, you'll get this very interesting article. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Well worth a read.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

It's interesting that Bondi can release records of former special counsel Jack Smith, but can't release the Epstein files. It's interesting how Bondi can indict Comey for a "supposed" lie, but not indict Homan for taking $50,000. DISBAR BONDI!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Simple fix to corruption:

If you take corporate money, you don't get on the ballot. Period.

Want corporate donors?

Fine. Run as a write-in.

Let voters decide if they care enough about corporate-backed candidates to literally write their names.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.

S: Those are quotes

If Trump declares war against citizens in blue states, doesn't that mean he can no longer help himself to blue state tax dollars?

Somehow Drunky McFoxhost though looking top military brass in the eyes and talking like a tough guy would make them (finally) respect them. That's not how life works, Petey.

Our first military commander was General Washington. His ability to inspire troops was legendary. How far we have fallen.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected โ€œIn Honor of Friendship Month."

If immigrants are so terrible for our country, why does Donald Trump keep marrying them and having kids with them?

Jimmy Kimmel Returns: ABC Ends Suspension Starting Tuesday Jimmy Kimmel will return to late night on Tuesday

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

A friend who went to an Evangelical college told the story of how some classmates pranked a guy while he was in the shower to make him think it was the rapture. They sounded a trumpet and everyone left the building with hairdryers and stereos going. Somebody please do this tomorrow.
