Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
The Senate has passed a major housing bill that cracks down on large investors who are buying up single-family homes.
It's a promising first step towards getting Wall Street out of our homes and making housing affordable again.
We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters.
And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.
Iran actually was a democracy from 1941 to 1953. What ended it? US and UK removed elected leader and installed the pro-West Shah because he promised to give US and UK oil. From there the US helped the Shah brutally repress Iranians for decades. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/dirty-secr...
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
When things seem hopeless, it is hard to keep going and not give up. At times I don't want to believe what is going on in our world. I pray for all of us that God hears our prayers.
This plaque honoring Capitol Police's bravery on January 6th was quietly hung some time overnight. The U.S. House has REFUSED to allow the hanging of the plaque but the senate passed a bill mandating it be hung. So without any fanfare, it was basically 'secretly' hung [hoping DJT wouldn't notice?].
Trump's lack of respect for other countries will contribute to his undoing.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not 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.
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:
- declared war without Congressional authorization
- ignoring multiple court orders
- impounding Congressional authorized funds
- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly
It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.
It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.
Trump’s Own Adviser Just Admitted to the Scam at MAGA’s Core
As Trump trade official Peter Navarro reveals too much about the president’s terrible jobs record, economist Paul Krugman explains how this moment exposes the deeper fraudulence of the whole MAGA agenda.
We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.
#fadybouaz Great Ignorance Perhaps my capacity for knowledge is the source of my great torment, as the saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss," and only the madman is truly happy. People may think I have strayed from faith in God Almighty, but in truth, I am merely trying to guide them toward the right path. We all claim to possess knowledge with great arrogance. Yet, most unfortunately, we only know what our limited capacity allows us to grasp. The truth is, we live in a state of both knowing and not knowing. And oh, how great is our ignorance! Our ignorance far outweighs our knowledge. And if we were to realize this with true humility, we would seize every moment of our fleeting lives to seek more science and knowledge. And we would live praying constantly to God to reveal what remains hidden from us, with the one hope that God might answer our prayers. God Almighty is the Absolute Truth, Truth beyond our full comprehension. for we have chosen the path of darkness to live in the delusion of evil, after we let the accursed Satan reside within our desires and instincts. Thus, we live in great ignorance, deluding ourselves into thinking we know, when in fact, we do not. Let us always pray with great humility: "Our Lord, increase us in knowledge, grant us humility in its pursuit, and make us among those of deep understanding."

#fadybouaz جهل كبير ربما قدرتي على المعرفة هي ذاتها مصدر عذابي الكبير، كما يقول المثل، "الجهل نعمة"، ولا يسعد حقاً إلا المجنون. قد يظن الناس أني ضللت عن الإيمان بالله سبحانه وتعالى، ولكن في الحقيقة، أنا فقط أحاول أن أرشدهم نحو الطريق الصحيح. نحن جميعاً ندعي امتلاك المعرفة بغرور هائل. ولكن للأسف الشديد، نحن نعرف فقط ما تسمح لنا قدرتنا المحدودة بإدراكه. الحقيقة هي أننا نعيش في حالة من المعرفة وعدم المعرفة في آن واحد. وكم جهلنا كبير، جهلنا يفوق معرفتنا بكثير. ولو أدركنا هذا بتواضع حقيقي، لاستغللنا كل لحظة من حياتنا الفانية لنسعى إلى المزيد من العلم والمعرفة. ولعشنا نصلي دائماً لله ليكشف لنا ما يظل مخفياً عنا، بأمل وحيد وهو أن يستجيب الله لصلواتنا. الله سبحانه وتعالى هو الحقيقة المطلقة، حقيقة تتجاوز فهمنا الكامل. لأننا اخترنا طريق الظلام لنعيش فِي ضلال الشر، بعد ان سمحنا للشيطان الرجيم أن يسكن في رغباتنا وغرائزنا. وهكذا، نعيش في جهل كبيرٍ، نخدع أنفسنا بالاعتقاد أننا نعرف، بينما في الحقيقة، نحن لا نعرف. لنصلِّ دائماً بتواضع كبير: "ربنا زدنا علماً، وامنحنا التواضع في السعي إليه، واجعلنا من أولى الألباب." فادي بوعز جميع الحقوق محفوظة ©️ الجمعة 7/2/2026

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors
I remember when my mom, who’s in her 70s, and I heard Kamala Harris announce her care-at-home plan. We were so excited. She even explained it was cheaper than hospital care. To us, it felt like someone was actually planning to make healthcare better.
Now look where we are.
#TrumpFumbled
Months after telling the American people that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency had no access to Americans’ sensitive Social Security data, the Trump administration has finally admitted in court that DOGE illegally accessed and agreed to share that data.
It's up to WE the People to stop this, the MAGA GOP Congress has given in to Trump. Fire them, ALL of them.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.
Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.
Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.
We know why.
