BREAKING: Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Sonny Burton.
The state was set to execute Sonny for a crime he didn't commit, but tens of thousands of people nationwide demanded justice — and our voices were heard.
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"
After WWII we could have gone home and left the world to burn.
Instead America rebuilt Europe, defended trade routes, and helped inspire the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Because America has always had a mission.
One we're dangerously close to forgetting.

Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
??? why is RFK Jr. going to the doctor for a surgery when he could simply eat a variety of weird meats at his injury
‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.
This may not be a popular or patriotic take, but I wonder if our troops are being forced to fight a war they know is morally wrong, illegal, unconstitutional. And it is all of those. This goes to the generals and commanders as well. I sure as hell wouldn’t risk my life for the Psychopath In Charge.
"Your steadfast commitment to our strategic mission, despite the multiple tramplings, maulings, and other encounters we shall henceforth refer to as 'terminal networking opportunities' has not gone unnoticed."

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Just in case anyone is confused, here's the scoop:
1) Yes, the US produces lots of oil, but that does not mean that Americans are insulated from global markets.
2) Since the Reagan Administration, US oil is traded on the global market.
3) If there is a global shortage, US consumers pay more.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) and several Democratic officials and voting rights organizations have denounced the FBI’s decision to subpoena records related to the 2020 presidential election in Arizona’s Maricopa County. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: “Remember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?
Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
First day of NFL free agency and I got carried away and signed with Jacksonville as a long snapper. Dreading the conversation when my wife gets home from work.
The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
At every USL game this weekend, USL players paused play for 60 seconds in a powerful show of solidarity.
They’re united and ready to fight for the fair contract they deserve.
As the players stand still, America’s unions stand with them.

We're at war with Iran because the President of the United States likes to fuck kids
That's super clear, right?
He fucks kids
Children
Trump fucks Children
That needs to be very clear
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.”
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
INSANE MICHELIN CHEF GUY: In the past, I have perhaps been a bit hard on my employees and I apologize.
REPORTER: A former line cook says you rented a bulldozer and drove it into his house while screaming "this is how subtly you're placing parsley motherfucker"
CHEF: i now realize that was wrong
Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.
By continuing to insist that the school in Minab was hit by a stray Iranian missile, Trump is doubling down on his belief that his supporters are stupid and gullible.
Seven bombs hit, not one. The impact marks match those of US munitions designed to penetrate then explode.
i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all
