Putting the current leader’s name and image on everything is an authoritarian move, designed to make them seem more present, more powerful, more invincible than they are. It is a betrayal of American democracy, where power belongs to the people.

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

So let me get this straight. The previous administration criminally prosecuted Michael Flynn.
Michael Flynn pleaded GUILTY to the charges.
Then Trump 2.0 pardons Michael Flynn.
Flynn sues the previous administration for politically motivated prosecution.
...And the current Trump administration is settling the lawsuit with taxpayer dollars an UNDISCLOSED amount of $.
There needs to be a law against this kind of self-dealing. This is absolutely maddening.

That way we're out of the shutdown and DHS is back open. Thune submitted that to President Trump. He said, 'No. No deals with the Democrats.' So we're back to square one."

Sen. John Kennedy: "The Democrats offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted and I said, 'Ok, let's accept their offer,' and then at the same time we would offer a bill for reconciliation where we don't need any Democratic votes to do whatever we wanted to do with ICE. That way we're out of the shutdown and DHS is back open. Thune submitted that to President Trump. He said, 'No. No deals with the Democrats.' So we're back to square one."

GOP Senator Kennedy admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown: "He said said 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said 'No deal.'"

Vance: Look, we have a 1st Amendment in this country. The 1st Amendment protects a lot of very ugly speech, but if you celebrate Charlie Kirk's death, you should not be protected from being fired for being a disgusted person.

Labeling every American of the opposition political party as an enemy to the country may be the most un-American thing any president has ever said. Dangerous.

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

TSA is largely funded by a tax on every ticket. It adds $5.60 to every one-way ticket & $11.20 to roundtrips. Everyone in line right now is already paying the TSA fee, even for free reward travel. The government has previously diverted that money to the Treasury. Pay the agents.

How about you just pay your fair share of taxes
Elon Musk@elonmusk
I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

Raju: If there are U.S. ground troops in Iran, should the administration go to Congress for approval? Speaker Mike Johnson: “If we're completing the mission, and it's a limited scope, then that's not a declaration of war.”
