Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

If big money weren’t allowed to influence politics billionaires’ efforts to influence elections would be a nonissue.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Tariffs (trump's tariffs) failed; now the government is being sued.

Epstein's files have a lot of dirt on Trump.

The Venezuela Maduro kidnapping ended up with no real solution, but the same regime, just a different head.

All else failed, let's attack Iran!

a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.

This is Stevie. He's on squirrel watch. His stuffed friend is also a squirrel, but he's one of the good ones. 14/10 (IG: longdogstevie)

NBC’s Richard Engel: β€œThe 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.”

Federal agents lied about why they shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis. Their story quickly fell apart. The attack marked the only time that federal authorities admitted wrongdoing during Operation Metro Surge.

Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of β€œattempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as β€œviolent criminals.”

None of it was true.

a chocolate lab snuggles with a person on a sofa, laying on their lap with one front arm tucked around their legs. his face looks up at the person with enormous eyes, dilated with little rings of golden brown. his ears are back, and the result is one of the most effective begging faces we’ve ever seen.

Moose rests on a brown sofa, his chin tucked on a rawhide bone and the flap of one lip squished up by the couch cushion. he has one front paw extended out, and the other tucked into his body like a little chicken wing. he’s looking up a bit, showing a little sliver of the whites of his already-enormous eyes, making them look even bigger under his cutely furrowed eyebrows.

the big-eyed brown pup as a puppy. he’s sitting in a white bathtub, slightly damp. he’s mostly in shadow, but his eyes are like two glowing orbs in the center of his face, almost human in their coloring and shape.

This is Moose. He has very big eyes. They are the result of a rare and painless ocular condition. Doesn't seem to mind it. Makes his puppy dog face even more powerful. 13/10 (credit u/aGooseyMoose)

(We know his Disney princess eyes look fake, but we can confirm these photos are not AI generated)

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
