@AdamKinzinger Did you get beat up a lot as a kid?

Trump announces an indefinite cease fire because Iran called his bluff. Everyone knows Trump is all talk and a scared little boy. The consequences of his failure will be with us for ages, even after he’s mercifully out of office. And MAGA will say he’s tough because he tweets

Democracy is when 51% vote to strip away political representation from the 49%, keeping the latter in a perpetual state of servitude to the former with no power to change it. Which is why the distinction between democracy and republic is not merely pedantic.

Please allow someone who actually knows what’s going on to comment. Larry Johnson is full of sh*t. A) the POTUS doesn’t need to “access” the codes. He carries them in his pocket wherever he goes. He, theoretically, can launch whenever he wants, from wherever. That where the military aide and the “Football” come in. B) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is NOT in that chain of command. The president, through the military aide, communicates his order through the National Military Command Center, who then communicates with the unified commanders. C) Whoever this Larry Johnson character is wouldn’t have ANY knowledge of this. In fact, the CIA wouldn’t even know. D) this is clickbait bullsh*t. Out.

The fact that the Ostroushko family is on a press tour instead of sitting in JAIL is infuriating to me. Paige Ostroushko is literally on Instagram bragging about how she has faced ZERO consequences so far. Demoralizing.

@Howeyeroll1 @JordanWood 😂 Appointed on November 29, 2018, by the Postal Service Board of Governors, she leads the Office of Inspector General (OIG), an independent organization responsible for ensuring efficiency and accountability within the postal service.   Nice try!

@Tpacko2 @JordanWood No, but his personal pick does. And just like that it all makes sense

A Maine air carrier was forced to stop delivering mail today. USPS owes them $388,000 and hasn't paid since March. Trump is breaking the Post Office. Rural Maine pays the price.

@AdamKinzinger @cardon_brian Ahhhh, the 2 wrongs make a right approach!

Hey guys. I was gerrymandered. Twice. It was done when all states redistrict. I don’t like it. But when Trump started pushing states to do it mid cycle because he’s afraid he will lose, the only way to fight back is to make it backfire. Then maybe we can fix the system.

@SenJohnKennedy He’ll, make it a national holiday for all I care! Just fix it!!!!!

Here’s how to restore people’s confidence in our elections: 1. Go back to an election DAY, not an election month. 2. Require people to prove they are who they say they are when they vote.

@JasonSzemborski @Bobacheck Ever notice that they never say they’d use the money to LOWER our taxes? When is “enough” enough?

At least this one says it out loud right along with poor misunderstood individuals Larson, legalize it so they can tax it and then spend even more.

@PNWConservative It’s not a number, it’s a talking point!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me what a “fair” tax on the “rich” is? I still can’t get a straight answer. Is it 30%? Is it 50%? Is it 90%? And what would be considered “rich”?

@FairElectionsVA @HQNewsNow And disenfranchise Virginia voters in the process. That’s the Democrat way!!!!!

Ruin Trump’s day tomorrow. Vote YES.

@AdamKinzinger I just figured out who you remind me of………. Swalwell!!!

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

@JuForthePeople Maybe you should walk there. Might do you some good!

No, Wisconsinites shouldn’t have to drive to Illinois or Michigan to buy weed. In 2022 alone, WI lost $36 million in tax revenue and you aren’t stopping people from using cannabis, if that’s your concern. It’s 2026, lighten up, man.

@AdamKinzinger So disenfranchise Virginia voters to play your little political game. Ya, makes a whole lot of sense to me. And please, don’t start with the “we’re saving democracy!”

@Sassafrass_84 Depreciation? 😂

So, according to her tax consultant, they somehow made a mistake saying Ilhan Omar was worth 30 million but corrected it to 95k. That's a YUGE mistake that doesn't go unnoticed. I'm not buying this. Are you? Where is the money?

@JuForthePeople Do you happen to get the munchies a lot? Just wondering!

🍃Happy 420 🍃 We shouldn’t have to travel to Illinois or Michigan to buy cannabis. It’s 2026, it’s time to: 🍃decriminalize cannabis 🚔expunge convictions ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿make sure the cannabis industry is equitable for communities that were over-policed for possession.

@SSWorks Now tell us how much of their income SS replaces when they retire!

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Do you think it’s time to scrap the cap?

There is a way past the absurd and deeply divisive “war” between the President and the Pope, which has been enthusiastically ginned up by the press. And it is indicated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2309 to be precise. After laying out the various criteria for determining a just war—proportionality, last resort, declaration by a competent authority, reasonable hope of success, etc.—the Catechism points out that “the evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.” The assumption is that the just war principles function, to use the technical term, as heuristic devices, designed to guide the practical decision-making of those civil authorities who have to adjudicate matters of war and peace. The role of the Church, therefore, is to call for peace and to urge that any conflict be strictly circumscribed by the moral constraints of the just war criteria. But it is not the role of the Church to evaluate whether a particular war is just or unjust. That appraisal belongs to the civil authorities, who, one presumes, have requisite knowledge of conditions on the ground. So, is the war in question truly the last resort? Is there really a balance between the good to be attained and the destruction caused by the war? Are combatants and non-combatants being properly distinguished in the waging of the conflict? Do the belligerents have right intention? Is there a reasonable hope of success? The posing of those questions—indeed the insistence upon their moral relevance—belongs rightly to the Church, but the answering of them belongs to the civil authorities. The Pope has said, on numerous occasions, that he is not a politician and that his role is not the determination of any nation's foreign policy. But he has just as clearly said that he will continue to speak for peace and for moral constraint. In making both of these claims, he is operating perfectly within the framework of paragraph 2309 of the Catechism. If we understand that the Pope and the President have qualitatively different roles to play in the determination of moral action in regard to war, we can, I hope, extricate ourselves from the completely unhelpful narrative of “Pope vs. President.”

@Matt_Pinner Why wait until tomorrow?

Be honest for a second: would you quit your job tomorrow if you won $15M in the lottery today?

@WillFlandersWI @tutorindie That’s the problem though. Pit strategy creates NO excitement for the viewer. No different than NASCAR and the “fuel strategy” races. People want to see some racing.

@tutorindie I appreciate them trying to highlight the alternate strategy--which was really the only interesting thing happening in that race.

Newgarden set a record for most television screen time by a 14th place finisher.
