I am asking my Jewish friends who are so freaked out about the success of politicians like AOC, Zohran Mamdani, and Janeese Lewis George to keep in mind that David Ben Gurion and Golda Meir were proud socialists.

I was looking for news coverage of the outcome on Chevy Chase library, and there hadn't been any, so I wrote an article myself. ggwash.org/view/103852/...?
Will the next MoCo executive and council build affordable housing in Chevy Chase?
A desirable site for dense, tall development in Montgomery County keeps running into opposition from County Executive Marc Elrich, who is running for a seat on the county council.

If Trump is saying he won the war can the spurs just say they won the championship? Is that how this works?
Can you imagine what Trump would say about this alleged deal with Iran if it was not his administration that allegedly negotiated it?
We are winning the war on algae, just like we are winning the war against Iran. washingtonian.com/2026/06/15/r...
Algae Turns Reflecting Pool’s “American Flag Blue” to Green
The new dark color may be exacerbating the pool’s algae problem, an expert says.

I was lazy about cancelling my Paramount Plus subscription during the whole Stephen Colbert thing, but this Scott Pelley thing finally motivated me to figure out how to do it.
One thing about a $250 bill is it would be really great for drug dealers and money launderers; greatly reducing bulk for large cash transfers.
Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.
The ADL permanently sacrificed its reputation to get in good with a massively dangerous antisemite and white nationalist. They defended him and stood up for him even after his Nazi salute. Here's how he repays them. This is what happens when you think you're using bigots. They're always using you.
CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "We need more religion in politics." [Pope uses religion to criticize Trump.] CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "Keep your religion out of our politics!!!"
If evangelicals think Pope Leo is too”woke” just wait until they hear about this fellow called Jesus.
Too bad JD Vance failed to end the war, but at least he failed to help Viktor Orban win.
A great way to get everybody's minds off the Epstein files would be to get the President's wife - who never holds press conferences - to hold one denying allegations we hadn't heard about yet.
Gotta say, I can’t recommend “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” on Apple TV. It brings to mind Elvis: “A little less conversation, a little more action please.” Too much dialogue, not enough monsters.
There sure has been a lot of war since Trump launched the Board of Peace.
So … Does this post by Lewandowski mean his “job” was transferred along with Noem’s? Are they always a two-for-one deal? Does the administration really want him emphasizing how they go everywhere together?

Kristi Noem is going to become Special Envoy for Shield for the Americas, everyone's favorite federal agency. What does the SFTA do? Um... you know, it shields for the Americas and stuff.
I'm going to post that an unusually smart and deservedly popular TV show actually sucks, just to see how many people reply.
I wouldn’t know how to find the Kid Rock halftime show if I wanted to watch it, which I don’t. I’d imagine even committed MAGA people will be too many beers in at the end of the first half to figure it out.

WATCH: 'You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns,' Trump says of Alex Pretti killing

Does Trump understand that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded every year? A sincere leader would double down on achieving peace and await the results of next year's awards. Perhaps Trump is afraid he won't still be alive in 2027? Apparently, the prize may not be awarded posthumously.
I hereby nominate President Trump for the Del Monte Peas Prize.
In his letter to Norway, POTUS is saying, "Since I didn't get the Peace Prize, to hell with peace." Does this make you feel safe?
Disgraceful and unpatriotic for Hegseth to try and demote Senator Kelly. On the other hand, it’s probably a huge political gift to the senator, who is fundraising like crazy off of it.
Please explain why former Honduran President Hernandez deserved a pardon but Venezuelan President Maduro deserved kidnapping and extradition? No fan of Maduro! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Ex-Honduran president thanks God – and Trump – for drug-trafficking pardon
Juan Orlando Hernández thanked the Lord for being ‘a free man’ and then Trump for ‘changing my life’

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy. Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦
