National security requires discipline, judgment & leadership.

Three things Markwayne Mullin hasn’t shown.

If your biggest viral moment is threatening a fight in the United States Senate πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

You’re not leadership material.

He’s not qualified for the Senate much less Director of DHS.

Tim Snyder: β€˜A democracy means the people rule’ Protests do more than fill the streets - they help to shape how institutions behave. The recent demonstrations against Trump’s policies inform judges, pressure lawmakers, and send signals throughout the political system. According to historian Tim Snyder, the scale of these protests, and the moral clarity behind them, can influence how institutions act. β€œA democracy means the people rule”, says Snyder.

Noem’s firing is proof that protests don’t just fill the streets, they can shape how institutions behave. And judges, lawmakers, and even Trump’s allies seem to be getting the message. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social adds, β€œa democracy means the people rule.” #Velshi

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Live updates: Russia provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike US military, AP sources say U.S. President Donald Trump called for Iran's "unconditional surrender" Friday as Israeli warplanes pounded Lebanon and the Islamic Republic, and oil prices rise.

Of course, nobody is surprised at this. With all those unattended boxes at Mar-a-Lago. Which, Putin also has the blueprints of, presumably…you know, the headquarters where Trump runs our government from at times…

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

His back legs are getting stronger & he's moving much better. Dr. Joel knows Oreo's not a wild man, so I'll watch & see what he's comfortable with.

The Big Ugly Bill stole health care from millions of Americans to made the billionaire class even richer.

That's what Trump is bragging about. Disgusting.

It just occurred to me….once the Dems take over, we can use all of these ICE concentration camps for the Epstein list people. This is where we can send them once they are convicted. And ICE agents too, of course.

Cornish tin mine could reopen with Trump administration investment South Crofty site could get $225m funding as US seeks to secure supply of critical metal

Why is US President Donald Trump eyeing Greenland, Ukraine – and now Cornwall? πŸ‘€

It’s all part of a global scramble for critical minerals – materials that power data centres, smartphones, advanced weapons systems and clean energy technologies.

Say no to Rosebank oil field Take action now!

Rosebank – the UK’s largest undeveloped oil field – won’t lower energy bills or create secure jobs.

It will delay the transition to clean, affordable energy & funnel profits to fossil fuel corporations.

The UK government could approve it any day. Take action✍️:

Gov. JB Pritzker proposes new social media fee to help fund Illinois public schools Gov. JB Pritzker is proposing a statewide fee on social media companies in an effort to raise $200 million a year for education, as the state grapples with a $2 billion budget shortfall.

If social media giants are going to feed off Illinoisans, they ought to support them.

I'm proposing a social media platform fee that will generate $200 million per year to support K-12 education.
