Did you all see Pete Hegseth in front of that committee this week?

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."
Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche: "Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."
Tonight, according to reports, Trump will again try to sow doubt about the 2020 elections with the hopes of rigging the 2026 midterms. Trouble is, Trump's own Intelligence Community, during his first term, found ZERO evidence for his claims. Don’t fall for his con.

Folarin Balogun, who is a US citizen because he was born here, scores a go-ahead goal for the US team in a knockout game. Score one for birthright citizenship.
Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.
This is the same kind of guy who was decrying the Irish at Ellis Island 150 years ago And he is third in command in the Republican-led House

Another day, another reminder that the Strait was completely open before Trump’s war.
I just watched the replay of The Obama Presidential Center Dedication Ceremony on C-Span. This was exactly what my heart needed💙 I have not felt hope & joy like this for the longest time. Michelle's speech was so powerful, and Barack's reminded me what integrity, intelligence & conscience look like.
Trump has made as much a mess of the reflecting pool as he has made of our country and its standing in the world. It's the perfect metaphor for Trump and his GOP enablers, going to the next election.
Clips are going viral of the new $14M paint on the Reflecting Pool peeling off just 12 days after the pool reopened.
