They’re raping people on your dime.

Trump just lifted (or reduced) sanctions on Russia. He will always side with Putin.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

Donald Trump has literally taken at least 10 years off the life of every American in this country.
With his constant chaos.

MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42

Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

The job of ICE goons is to fill up all detention centers with us; Americans, any race, creed, or color. It doesn't matter, their job is to fill them with us.

If you're an American citizen, don't think you're safe. ICE goons & Donald don't care, and they don't care if you die in the process. 👠

If Iran has a full copy of the Epstein Files, they should release them. They’ll do more damage than any ballistic missile.

If the goal is to get rid of "the worst of the worst," why is Donald J. Trump still here?

He definitely qualifies.

i can't believe it's 2026 and we still haven't trained our pets to fold our laundry.

She faces the camera directly with a calm, dignified expression, her dark eyes gazing to the right right. She has voluminous, curly dark hair styled high and full around her face. She wears an elegant Victorian-era dark dress with a high neck, adorned by an elaborate wide lace collar featuring intricate floral patterns and scalloped edges that drape over her shoulders, giving a formal and regal appearance.

Author Bertha von Suttner, the "Generalissimo of the Peace Movement" was the first woman awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, 1905.

Vintage black-and-white studio portrait photograph of a young Berthe Morisot in the late 1860s or early 1870s, posed elegantly beside an ornate carved Victorian chair with twisted spindles and dark velvet upholstery. She is a poised woman in her 20s or early 30s with dark curly hair styled in an upswept fashionable manner, wearing a long-sleeved dark satin or silk dress with button detailing and a full, sweeping skirt. She leans gracefully on the chair arm with both hands, gazing directly to her left with a serious, introspective expression. The opulent interior background features paneled walls, evoking her bourgeois Parisian upbringing and her emergence as a key figure in Impressionism.

Impressionist oil painting "Woman at Her Toilette" (1875–1880) by Berthe Morisot, showing a young woman viewed from behind as she sits at her dressing table, arranging her hair in front of a large mirror. She wears an off-the-shoulder white gown with blue ribbon accents, her bare back and shoulders softly rendered in luminous, loose brushstrokes of white, cream, pink, and pale blue. The vanity holds a glass perfume bottle, flowers, and toiletries; the background dissolves into a dreamy swirl of pastel floral wallpaper, light reflections, and airy colors. The composition captures intimate, everyday feminine ritual with fleeting light and vibrant, sketch-like Impressionist technique, emphasizing privacy, elegance, and modern womanhood.

French painter Berthe Morisot died #OTD in 1895.

Acclaimed Impressionist who captured light, intimacy & everyday life with breathtaking brushwork. Only woman to exhibit her work at the first Impressionist exhibition (1874) alongside Monet, Renoir, and Degas. #art #ArtHistory #Impressionism #WHM

Were there no generals or higher ups that tried to dissuade him, or are they all just yes men now?

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Where are we? A president clearly in mental decline, a compliant Congress afraid to exercise there oversight responsibilities when the useful idiot starts a war. When I served, it never occurred to me that I would ever have to question an order.

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.

It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

Republicans have failed while controlling all three branches of federal government. Their current failure to impeach and remove a President who starts illegal wars for his own personal amusement, is a clear and present danger to America. Republicans need to answer for why they refuse to impeach him.
