JFK gave best speech of his life, this week 1963, at American University:
“If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. . . .We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."

President Trump falsely claimed Tina Peters has cancer. After Governor Polis freed her from prison, Peters said she has acid reflux from prison food.

Incredible. Scotland puts a wind turbine near Trump’s golf course in Aberdeen 20 years ago. He sues and loses. Then his resulting hatred of wind turbines now ends up with the US Secretaries of Defense & Interior fabricating absurd lies to justify killing wind energy in the US.
Burgum on wind turbines: We have a report from Hegseth that it’s a national security threat. You could launch an attack on the US in with a bunch of drones coming through a wind tower field, it would undetectable until it was came through because the radar interference

Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty.
James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history.
Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired.
The wall is still empty.

Sec. Hegseth’s actions continue to be despicable – and they certainly aren’t representative of the Army I served in.
We’ve repeatedly seen how this White House has disparaged and mistreated both active-duty service members and the veterans who raised their hand to serve this country. I’m glad that people are continuing to stand up and speak out.

🚨Trump is going to deport Iranian women who PROVED to an immigration court that they would be persecuted in Iran to the Central African Republic, a country so dangerous to others the U.S. recommends no American travel there.
Trump is destroying this country's legacy of freedom!

Despite now controlling the federal government for 17 months, the Trump admin has STILL not managed to find a SINGLE example of a paid protestor/rioter, despite repeatedly insisting that such people exist.
Seriously. Not one.
Jun 10
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "We're gonna keep our men and women safe. If we have to pull them from the airport, we will. Let's use Delaney Hall for example -- these aren't protesters, let's be very clear about this. These are paid rioters."

Completely illegal. Federal court after federal court has already rejected the Trump admin’s demands for private voter data and this will be blocked too.

Not Overheard at the Pentagon (b/c I am not allowed to go there anymore), from GWOT vet in response to the proposed Global War on Terror war memorial, unveiled today: "My idea was to have an eternal flame at the bottom of a big hole that you could just throw money at. That would reenact the war for me."

FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"
Jun 10
🚨 BREAKING! 🤯
The Haiti National Team will have to change its uniform for the World Cup. 🇭🇹
FIFA has asked Saeta, the company responsible for the uniform's design, to alter it due to potential political messages. 👕
Haiti's jersey features a design of the Battle of Vertières from 1803. This battle was considered decisive for the country's independence following the conflict with France. ⚔️

The amount of money -- $350 million -- that ESA parents have stockpiled for their kids future use (college, backyard playground, trips to Disneyland)
is more than what would have been generated for public education had @GOP lawmakers asked voters to approve Prop 123.
Jun 10
ESA parents have stockpiled $350 million in leftover voucher funds, which some are using for college. (It was $440 million last year).
@GOP lawmakers refuse to touch those funds but are cutting 2.5 percent from all state agencies except public safety.

Canadian oil makes up ***62%*** of the amount of oil the U.S. imports and ***25%*** of every barrel that goes into U.S. refineries. how's that for "energy independence"? let that sink in.

Trump: "Hey, we don't need anything that Canada has, we don't know anything that Mexico has, but they need everything that we have. And they have to treat us better."

Turning Point sent seven buses with 350 people to the Capitol on January 6.
Watters: This is like if TP was taking money that we thought was going to young conservatives, and bussing people to commit crimes.
