Gratitude for these two, Judy Dench and Ian McKellen who gave us so much through the years

If you want to know who really owns Trump and pulling his puppet strings, just look at who he has never criticized.

That's a clear answer, it's Russia, Putin and Netanyahu.

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.

While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.

Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.

I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheehan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: “ICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...

I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...

...maybe there wasn't much planning?

According to the Huffpost (Huffpost.com), comedian Bill Mahar slammed Kamala Harris for opposing Trump's Iran war. Mahar has now gone completely to the Dark Side.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

On #InternationalWomensDay, America’s unions celebrate the women leading our labor movement, organizing unions and fighting for fair pay, safety, dignity and respect on the job.

Their fight is all of our fight, and we’re proud to celebrate and stand with them every single day.

61 years ago on “Bloody Sunday,” Black demonstrators on Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge peacefully marching for voting rights were violently attacked and arrested. America’s unions honor those who risked their lives, and reaffirm our commitment to securing civil and labor rights for all.

The House Is Entering a Moment of Churn An unusual wave of departures, a difficult midterm environment, and a frustrated electorate are converging ahead of the 2026 elections.
