An adult with a perpetual wish to perseverate his childhood, wants you to call him "Tommy" and "Coach", is trying to stoke fear over people who aren't white, thinks it's a good idea to build a 30 ft wall around Alabama (that's a 1,044 mile perimeter and 165,369,600 square feet). Hmmm.

Tuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."

Dear Alabama Senator from Florida, Nobody wants to go to the state that is a joke when it comes to poverty levels illiteracy rates, child welfare, life expectancies and bigotry. If you need a wall, it’s to keep people in. www.rawstory.com/tommy-tuberv...

At this point I think we have to think in these terms: VOTE BLUE--NO MATTER WHO. And Holy Cow-don't sit it out!! Add to the list-Blanche confirmation as AG. Someone has to step on the parking brake to slow this down. Imagine how much worse it could get & then know you haven't hit bottom yet.

Are you prepared here on the US mainland? "Puerto Rico is set to implement water rationing measures across San Juan and several other major cities as a relentless drought tightens its grip on the U.S. territory with no immediate relief in sight." The ads are annoying--sorry!

@schiff.senate.gov on fire with a litany of reasons not to confirm Blanche. "he will only do what's best for Donald Trump. And you can't leave someone like that as highest federal law enforcement official" Here comes the vote: straight party lines, he's reported out of committee. ugggggghhhhhhhhh

@coons.senate.gov, D-DE, joined Morning Joe to discuss the state of the war in Iran. On Monday, President Donald Trump warned Iranian officials of what he calls the “last chance” to sign a deal.

The AP said today that the reason Capital One and Chase “debanked” donald trump in 2021 was not because the banks were making a political statement as alleged by the White House. Capital One reported, it had “everything to do with activity in accounts” resembling money laundering #USDemocracy

Todd Blanche told me privately that he “made a mistake” creating the MAGA slush fund. I asked him about it under oath. And he lied to Congress. His willingness to casually lie under oath shows how far he will go to avoid offending his only boss: Donald Trump.

Donald Trump says “affordability” is a made-up word. Tell that to the families stretching every paycheck, the seniors choosing between groceries and medicine, and the parents wondering how they’ll put food on the table.

BREAKING: The Senate Judiciary Committee just voted to advance Todd Blanche’s nomination. Blanche has been the architect of the White House’s Epstein cover-up — and to be clear: he’s working for Donald Trump, not the American people.

"The dramatic rundown in precision, long-range missiles means U.S. President Donald Trump may ​have to rely more on riskier, piloted bombing missions if he relaunches large-scale attacks on Iran," Reuters reported. #Trump #Hegseth #Netanyahu #WhatDidYouExpect

EXCLUSIVE: US has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war, sources say

The degree to which the military is running out of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles has not been previously reported.

A simple question: Does the Justice Department work for the American people? Or does it serve Donald Trump? The record of Todd Blanche answers it for them. #BlockBlanche #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Right and this guy should have spoken up sooner.

The Arts of War sculptures beside Lincoln Memorial Circle were regilded in 23.75-karat gold leaf. Valor and Sacrifice, designed by Leo Friedlander, were cast and gilded in Italy before being installed in Washington, D.C., in 1951 as a gift to US,

Wording wasn't okay. People forget what property taxes cover: schools, roads, fire fighters, police, parks & libraries, other public services. While many want to do away with it entirely, then what? To the people who say the taxes aren't spent right, elect better people to make laws and manage it.

"Willie Nelson, 93, is asking people to think about who ends up holding the water. He wrote an open letter about the data centers proposed near Abbott, Texas, the farming town where he grew up and still owns land. His warning was blunt. Whoever controls food & water, he wrote, controls the masses."
