3. We've heard so much about the way DOGE operated, but rarely have we gotten to actually see it up close. This clip reveals the entitlement Trump's USIP president and the DOGE team felt heading into the privately-owned building on the day of the raid:
How many justifications have surfaced for which we can legally impeach trump? Hundreds? Yet, here we are. He runs amok, unscathed, free with his fellow fascists to carry out his Democracy-killing, rule-the-world spree. What does it tell us that weβve allowed a madman to turn world order upside down.

Musk used DOGE to look for more business opportunities from the U.S. Govt taxpayers.
He probably sold our Social Security data.
WTF!!

WH Deputy Chief of Staff tells members of the House GOP to stop rhetoric on mass deportations, and instead shift messaging to deporting violent criminals.

"The Price of Safety: Stories of Abortions Denied, Careers Disrupted, and States Left Behind" details the human and economic toll of abortion bans. The anthology uses stories from patients, doctors, business leaders, and others to show the real-world consequences of abortion bans.
Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.
Video footage published by Bellingcat appears to show a Tomahawk missile striking a compound adjacent to the school.
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
