Huge worry. One reason Iran may not have activated these cells prior to this is to avoid getting attacked by the West. Well now Trump and Netanyahu have removed that obstacle.
Alarming news. Hungary is an EU member. Waiting for official reaction by the European Union.
βΌοΈHungary's National Assembly adopted a resolution rejecting Ukraine's EU membership and opposing further financing of its military needs by EU countries.
New in PN: The worst cabinet in history
"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."
Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.
I can so relate to this.

βMembers of the Republican Party either chose to ignore his behavior or went right along with it. The legacy media chose to downplay it. Corporate America chose to profit off of it. And now we are all living with the consequences of those cowardly choices.β
Iβm hollering at my screenβ¦ yaaas!
Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.
βWhy is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, βthis dude donβt have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?ββ π₯
Hmmmmm
There is a growing sickness in the Republican Party that spawns this virulent hatred.
Replace 'Muslims' with any other faith & this man would be run out of Congress.
Their tolerance for this bigotry is a cancer in their ranks. Hate, in all its forms, should find no refuge here.
Too bad this guy isnβt in something like Congress that could have an impact on this..oh wait π€·ββοΈ

Happy birthday to you !! ππππ
Those who have tamped down concerns about the SAVE Actβs chance of passage in the Senate are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize. The potential for a blowout in 2026 is top of mind for Trump, and there are only a few ways to avoid it.
Call your Senators. 202-224-3121.
Trump just finished another ya gotta win the midterms speech to Republicans. He's getting nervous.

A graphic with a photo of Senator Bernie Sanders. The quote from him in white and yellow font says, βIt is absurd that a billionaire in America today pays the same amount of Social Security taxes as someone making $184,000 a year. It is time to scrap the cap, expand benefits, and fully fund Social Security.β
Republicans want to cut Social Securityβs earned benefits.
We have a better idea: Scrap the cap on Social Security contributions, so that billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Donald Trump pay in all year long!
NEW: A GOP-tied group targeted Black Virginians with manipulative mailers on the stateβs redistricting special election, claiming βJust like Jim Crow, [Democrats] want to silence your voice.β
While it provided no detailed information on the measure, it did depict Ku Klux Klan imagery.
Trump says he wonβt sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.
Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.
Me too and I have so much admiration for Senator Kim for that. He made no fuss and just did what was needed.
Thanks for the posts, Sabirah. They always brighten my day πππ»
Love that embrace between siblings π
The DHS shutdown ends the minute Republicans agree to reasonable ICE reforms that the majority of Americans agree with. But they refuse any changes because masked, poorly-trained paramilitary agents terrorizing communities is what they want.
This sort of thing is always hit with, "LOL he doesn't care he'll never face voters again." In fact, he does care. He has privately said he fears being impeached by a Dem House. And I don't know who I need to tell this to, but presidential approval matters in midterms.

Financial documents compiled by ProPublica reveal a myriad of relationships among Trump and his team that could create conflicts of interest β including ties between appointees and industries their agencies frequently interact with.

Those Republicans have done nothing to restrain Trump and most vote to advance his agenda. Vote blue to be sure πππ»π
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers β and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
Trump chose this. Republicans in Congress let it happen.
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.
