If she would just resign I suspect there would be no threats.... not that I support threatening people at all...

I wonder whether Cruz is hoping for an appointment to the judiciary...

Just like the rally "shooting" of his (now normal) ear.

There's always a Manchin and Sinema/history of opportunistic candidates who deceive voters by saying one thing and then doing another. Fetterman is truly a jerk.

It's a "special military operation."

Netanyahu (admitted it) started this war and uses U.S. money, military and weapons as its personal bodyguard and gofer.

For a different POV than Netanyahu read Haaretz. Longest running newspaper currently in print in Israel.

Netanyahu (admitted it) started this war. Ask him and his religious fanatics. The U.S. has its own problems to deal with: Trump, Russia, corruption, attacks on citizens, ICE et al

For a different POV than Netanyahu read Haaretz. I find it to be eye-opening. Longest running newspaper currently in print in Israel.

Godspeed, Senator.

It's Trump realizing his designer dreams for a uniform. There are blue suits, solid color ties (red popular), flag pins, now shoes, soon diapers.

But honestly, he is stealing material for The Onion.

Ron Johnson, lights on, nobody home. Another nitwit who belongs in the "needs to be retired" club with Graham Lindsey and Rick Scott... and so many more...

Jesse Watters: “I was walking today, in my neighborhood, on my street. This car comes throttling down, and he looks me right in the eye... screeches on the brakes, rolls down the window and says ‘F U, FASCIST!’... he doesn’t know that I’m a fascist.”
Jessica Tarlov: “Yes he does. You’re on TV.”

Has anyone ever asked whether Ivanka met Epstein?

I suspect Stephen Miller, with an assist by Hegseth.

"Cellebrite, an Israeli company whose employees include veterans of the country’s elite cyberwarfare unit, specializes in data extraction of cell phones and accessing data without the user’s knowledge, among other high-tech surveillance tools."
More surveillance on Americans by greedy firms. Scary.
