In August, President Donald Trump sent hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., one of many Democratic-led cities where heβs said that crime is out of control. A Trace analysis shows that his claims of runaway violence are false.

Within the space of an evening Musk has gone from (just about) an ally of Trumpβs to alleging that heβs in the Epstein files and should be impeached. Meanwhile, Steve Bannon suggests Musk should be deported. Just another normal night in Trumpβs America.

Pope Francis was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936 in Buenos Aires. Later, as the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, he elevated the causes of migrants and the disenfranchised, and pushed the church to more forcefully confront its own history of scandal. Here is a timeline of his life.

WOW. Trump's Secty of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth has words βDeus Vult,β Latin for βGod will itβ This "phrase has been used by racist organizations for decades to promote the idea of "liberation at the end of the sword" in the name of God.

Remember the good old days when we were worried TikTok was a national security risk?
Who'd have thought our security was actively compromised by the Vice President, Secty of State, Secty of Defense, and a Nat'l Security Advisor?
Here's Little Marco when he was...
youtu.be/XZMJB2fV_MM?...
The Secty of Defense has committed a crime.
Jeff Goldberg has incriminating evidence of the crime.
The Secty of Defense MUST be tried and convicted of that crime.
The legal situation is obvious.
The political ramifications (Hegseth keeping his job) are up to the insanity of our current govt.
Hegseth is a dumb, liar, sexual assaulter, & alcoholic.. not the ideal profile for an effective secty of Defenseβ¦
Not a word of outrage from GOP politicians!! Just imagine for 1 second this happened in a Democratic administration!!
Fox news 24 hours s dayβ¦. Non stop chatter..
The Speaker of the House is living in a house in DC rent freeβ¦
And guess what?
Itβs owned by the HERITAGE FOUNDATION!
Are you surprised?!
Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long.
Instead of addressing any of that β this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.
