🚨Major wake-up call from Europe.

Dutch Chief of Defense Gen. Onno Eichelsheim says the continent is ramping up its own military capabilities — fast.

Drones, unmanned systems, and “cheap advanced tech” are key as Europe pushes to reduce reliance on the US. “Freedom is no longer a given,” he warns.

It's gotten lost amidst everything else, but a sitting Vice President traveling overseas to speak at a campaign rally for a flailing authoritarian leader is such a massive violation of both norms and democratic values

America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela.

It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps

Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe

But it never goes to help Americans

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Remember when we used to have experienced seasoned diplomats with decades of knowledge and experience in a specific region involved in sensitive and complex negotiations with other countries over important details? Seems like a better plan than Vance, Witkoff and Kushner.

I sounded the alarm when Donald Trump went after thousands of libraries and museums — and they just won BIG.

These are institutions that preserve our history, add BILLIONS to our economy, and educate future generations.

There's power in fighting back.

The fascist international: Donald Trump, JD Vance, Marine Le Pen, Vladimir Putin, have joined in a rousing show of warmth and support for Viktor Orbán. How's that playing? Hungarians see it as evidence that Orbán is the puppet of foreigners who don't have the country's best interests at heart

A federal judge struck down Pete Hegseth’s second attempt to restrict reporters at the Pentagon. The judge called the Pentagon’s new policy unconstitutional and a violation of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, ordering access restored to NYT journalists.

The Epstein survivors have told their stories—and the justice system has failed them.

We subpoenaed the files and passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Pam Bondi and those who have covered up this case must be held accountable.

Congress must act—to turn the Epstein files into Epstein trials.

I think sometimes the reason why Trump contradicts himself so much each day is because he forgot what he said yesterday. The other times it’s because he lies so much he can’t keep the lies straight.

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon?
- Cancelled his July 4th US visit.
- Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore.
- Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war.
The first American pope.
He will NOT be bullied by Trump!
