If humans ever can evolve toward MLK's "arc of justice" it will happen only when we pay for the positive stuff and stop paying for the negative. Americans must finally understand this and start voting appropriately.

Talarico on Trumpworld's "short term pain" talking point: "I'd like them to tell that to the parents of the American troops who have lost their lives. That is not short term pain. That is pain that will last forever ... no one asked for this."

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

Opinion | Here’s One Boast Trump Won’t Be Making Anymore

Opinion: "Energy sources that our adversaries can blockade, or that require naval escorts and expensive insurance to deliver, are not reliable. Solar and wind power, on the other hand, generate power cheaply on U.S. soil."

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

That means Americans getting serious, and informed, about how government works. It requires good citizenship. Does this country still have the necessary self-discipline to elect better representatives? Or are we too addicted to performers and con artists? I don't know. Yet

I hope we can trust the vast majority of Americans to do the right thing in November. I've been disappointed before.

Because this is what the entitled think they're entitled to do. I want the Civil Service back. It wasn't perfect, because they were humans, but it was accountable.

So has anybody seen ANY active duty military members defying orders since this war is OBVIOUSLY unconstitutional?

no?

Well, let's put the whole "remember your oaths to the Constitution" shtick to rest. The military isn't saving us.

For this administration, it’s not about doing good, it’s about looking good...even when American lives are on the line.

The German City That Defied McDonald's and Dumped 'To-Go' Waste TΓΌbingen's hard-won crusade is a lesson in how to deflect single-use packaging from landfills β€” and life itself.

Sometimes, cleaning up the streets starts not with a ban, but with a price tag small enough to notice β€” and annoying enough to change habits.

Trump pushes GOP on voting bill, demanding an end to most mail balloting President Donald Trump says he won’t sign any other legislation into law until Congress passes a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill that he says also must end Americans’ ability to vote by mail.

Trump pushes GOP on voting bill demanding end to mail balloting because he relies on empty threats to intimidate everyone and it works because they cave.

And Trump's response? Remove sanctions on Russia so they can sell more oil.

Anyone still think Trump isn't wearing Putin's panties?
