I get that Sean Duffy was a natural pick to be Transporation Secretary because he was on MTV's Road Rules, but as far as I can tell he's never been on any space-themed reality TV. cnn.com/2025/07/09/pol…

@atrupar Everything is someone else’s fault with this group. If you can only blame others you don’t deserve the job. Take accountability? Not with the Trump administration.

Noem: "Quite frankly, the National Weather Service under President Trump has been working to put in new technology and a new system because it has been neglected for years. It's an ancient system that needed to be upgraded, and so President Trump recognized that right away and got to work on it ... but that installation is not complete."

@front_ukrainian Did you just figure this out yourself, DJT?

@highbrow_nobrow Is it because Fox and Newsmax told them it was true?

@MeidasTouch Glad she stood by her convictions, just ridiculous. Why did she even say she had questions?

Trump on Pete Hegseth: "Secretary of War. It used to be called secretary of war. Maybe for a couple weeks we'll call it that, because we feel like warriors. It used to be called secretary of war ... then we became politically correct ... maybe we'll have to start thinking about changing it."

@atrupar Sorry, Buddy. Bombing a country does not earn a peace prize.

@atrupar What if the Dept of Ed actually focused on education and not punishing states that don't comply with overblown talking points?

Linda McMahon on how California can avoid losing federal education funding: "They really need to send a letter of apology to all of the female participants in sports. They need to return the titles that were taken away from these women who competed and lost to males in the sports. They just have to make it right to those women competitors."

@aTXqtp2t @MeidasTouch I wonder who told him that wearing a hat would make him look strong? The constant wearing of a hat outside of the stupid rallies, makes him look like a bigger buffoon!

@MeidasTouch Yes, all kings wear baseball caps when launching their country into war. 🙄

Not sure they got the Obama-style photos they were hoping for here

.@RepJimmyGomez after reading the Republican tax bill: "I thought I wasn't reading this correctly. Anyone making less than $15,000/year sees an increase in their taxes by 74.3%."
Republican trickle down economics is nothing but class warfare & massive wealth transfer to the top.

I know this may ruffle some feathers on the Left and on the Right, but...
I am convinced that we cannot responsibly speak out against Christian Nationalism without also speaking out against Christian Zionism. And there are more Christian Zionists than there are Jewish Zionists.
Christian nationalism and Zionism share so much in common...
Both twist Scripture to justify violence, colonization, and the pursuit of power...
Both embrace a distorted theology of "chosenness" that leads to a hierarchy of human value, where some lives matter more than other lives...
Both manipulate the character of God to favor one group of people over another... in such a way that it would be unthinkable for any human parent to act towards their children.
And both Zionism and nationalism create an idol of the nation-state, be it Israel or America, where the State replaces Jesus as God's central messianic force in the world. The State becomes the hand of God. This is why "America First" or "Israel First" is a theology heresy.
The conflation of the ancient Israelites with the contemporary nation of Israel is bad theology and dangerous politics. It gives theological cover and moral immunity to a government that continues to exploit that power and do tremendous harm.
It is certainly important to be clear about the difference between anti-semitism and anti-Zionism. Antisemitism is wicked -- it is targeted hatred, bigotry, and discrimination aimed at Jewish people simply because of who they are as Jews. Anti-Zionism is altogether different -- it distinguishes between Jewish people and the nation of Israel, honoring the fact that Jews around the world are leading the way in standing against Israel's escalating violence in Gaza and throughout the Middle East. Anti-Zionism is a rejection of the political ideology and divine sanction of the nation-state of Israel that allows it to do things we would never allow for any other nation in the world to do -- collective punishment, forced starvation, ethnic cleansing, genocide... all of which operate through a theological worldview that Israel can do no wrong, and to stand against the contemporary state of Israel is to stand against God.
This is why we must reject all forms of Christian nationalism while also standing against anti-semitism and hatred in every form.
Every human being is made in the image of God -- No exceptions.
It is always wrong to kill children. It was wrong on October 7 and it is wrong right now. Violence is the disease not the cure.
Destroying a human life is an attack on the image of God...
So let us stand on the side of love. God is love.
Our enemy is hatred. Let us unite our hearts in love as we stand against the drums of war and the escalating violence in Israel and Iran. And let us all reject the lie that some lives are more precious than others.
