Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.
Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.
They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

According to a federal court, Trump's IRS illegally shared confidential taxpayer information with ICE 42,695 times.
from W. E. B. Du Bois:
A SNAPSHOT OF TRUMP'S ECONOMY—judged by his own goals: manufacturing jobs are down 100,000 since Trump took office, private-sector job growth is the weakest we’ve seen outside a recession in more than 20 years, and the unemployment rate for U.S.-born workers has increased.
Figure title: "US-born unemployment rose in 2025 and 2026" Figure subtitle "Unemployment rate for US-born workers, by year"
Let's check in on how Trump's assault on immigrants is helping US-born workers...
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”
BREAKING:
The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.
They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory Iranian attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will.”
Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we can’t afford health care.
The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.
'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019.
As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
The President of the United States.

Look where so many people falling for the excuse that “it was only locker room talk” has gotten us.
This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...
Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.
They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.
This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us.
Pay attention.
