Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones on the part of Doris Miller’s story too many Americans were never taught: His heroism at Pearl Harbor should have earned him the Medal of Honor. Why didn’t it? “I’ll give you one guess. He was a Black man.” Now they want to take his name off an aircraft carrier

Looking at her background, I home she reverse-Manchins the hell out of the GOP.

We should reach out to our neighbors via Nextdoor to organize rides to the polls & advertise access to curbside voting & raise concerns over fed overreach Make it a way to highlight the illegality & taxpayer cost of Trump’s attempt to take federal control of voting-usurping Congress & states rights

MYSTERY MEAT: Trump says he struck a deal to flood the U.S. with cheaper foreign beef. There’s just one problem: He refuses to tell Americans which countries the beef is coming from. And U.S. ranchers are furious.
