Nothing says "I deserve a Nobel peace prize" like having a Department of War.

Let's see the Republicans defend this BS.

Moscow Mitch is responsible for the sad state of affairs we have today. If he hadn't rigged the Supreme Court by robbing Obama of an appointment and refused to convict Trump we wouldn't have this problem. He can shove his concern where the sun don't shine.

I imagine Disney World will see a huge drop off in visits once all these 19th century diseases a come back in Florida.

Alice Cooper wrote a song about this.

More: With over 3,000 stores worldwide and an annual revenue exceeding $6 billion, Levi's is one of the largest American brands to warn of the indirect effect on its operations from global opposition to Trump's trade policies.

An already observed side effect of Trump's tariffs has been a surge in calls to boycott American companies abroad. This first emerged in Canada, where ongoing grassroots and lawmaker-led boycotts have made a notable dent in some American companies' bottom lines. The recent decision to impose a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods has also sparked a similar "buy Indian" movement in the country.

One expert told Newsweek that we can expect boycotts of U.S. brands to continue through 2025, especially for companies such as Levi's that have "leveraged their American identity" and whose products are relatively easy to substitute.

This is completely unAmerican.

I had no issues with the site. Install an ad blocker. uBlock Origin is the one I'd recommend.

Having to empty 80+ lbs of carbon per full tank of gas is beyond ridiculous and will never work.

More: "Here's a guy who held a top secret clearance and was privy to some of the most sensitive information we have, who served in a combat zone," said Kenneth Koop, a retired colonel who trained the Afghan military and police during Mavalwalla's deployment. "To see him treated like this really sticks in my craw."

Who wants to risk arrest for speaking a foreign language in public?

Who would want to vacation in occupied cities?

Who wants to visit ideologically sanitized museums?

Who wants to go to national parks full of trash and overflowing pit toilets because they don't have the staff they need to clean them?

1) The bruised hands. The puzzle of Trump's badly bruised and heavily make-up-ed hands has been one of the summer's odder presidential story lines. The White House has maintained that the bruises come from how much Trump loves shaking hands. "President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history. His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day," Karoline Leavitt said.

White House physician Sean Barbabella breezily dismissed the bruising in a memo, saying it was "benign" and "consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking," but there's reason to believe there's more to it than that. For one thing, the bruising isn't limited to his dominant handshaking hand; it also has been a regularly recurring phenomenon of the last year. Barbabella's dismissal also raises some curious questions, saying it's a common side-effect of "aspirin therapy," but it's not clear from at least our public understanding of the president's health (more on that below) that he should be on "aspirin therapy."

2) The pattern changes. Donald Trump is basically the most habit-bound and routine-bound man we know in American politics. And yet we've seen some major departures of his routine in recent weeks " including, not least of all, that he stuck in Washington all this weekend. Trump takes off for one of his golf resorts the first chance he can nearly every weekend of the year, and yet he's just choosing to spend an extra-long holiday weekend hanging out at the White House? Why? Is his medical team wanting to keep him closer to top secure medical facilities?

At the August 22nd Oval Office event where photos of Trump's bruised hands went viral, I was struck by something else " as Public Notice was too: The oddity of Trump appearing tie-less. In fact, all the men in the photo op are not wearing their ties, making clear that this was a coordinated decision to align with the president's sartorial choice. Trump effectively never appears in the Oval Office without a tie " remember how they berated Zelenskyy for appearing in the Oval Office without a suit earlier this year? Scroll back through the summer and there appears to be no recent precedent for the president NOT wearing a tie in the Oval Office. It also is a rare " if not unprecedented " time that he wears a hat while sitting at his desk in the Oval Office. So for this one event, one where the president's ill health appears on very public display, he and everyone else in the event, including JD Vance, chooses to go tie-less and he also wears a hat? At the very least, it would cause me to ask around about what else was going with Donald Trump on August 22nd?

More: According to one of the firefighters, they were denied the chance to say goodbye to the detained crew members.

"I asked them if his (family) can say goodbye to him because they're family, and they're just ripping them away," the firefighter told the Times. "And this is what he said: You need to get the (expletive) out of here. I'm gonna make you leave.'"

From the article: Governors from six US states have sent troops to Washington to help Trump's effort, swelling the ranks to nearly 2,100 who will soon be on patrol.

According to previous reporting, National Guard deployments cost the US government $530 per guard member each day. Using that figure, Homestead estimated that it would cost just over $1.1 million.

She added that "the number of troops will likely continue to grow. And with no deadline for the DC deployment, those costs could add up for months or even years."

According to the most recent data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), there are about 5,600 people experiencing either sheltered and unsheltered homelessness in DC on a given night. Operating an affordable housing unit for each one of them, the data shows, costs about $45.44 per person, per day, on average in DC.

Providing affordable housing to every homeless person in DC would cost an estimated $255,166, which is 4.3 times less than the cost of Trump's military deployment.

3 years is a long time.

Three years may just be the prelude.

And to whom does Trump have to justify anything currently?

#4,

Assuming troops will be sent home before Trump leaves office one way or the other is probably wishful thinking.

If this follows the playbook the administration seems to want to follow concentration camps will prevent them from coming back.

Also worth pointing out this guy wasn't elected but appointed by the state auditor after Republicans passed a law allowing themselves to force Republican majorities onto local elections boards.

Another republican trying to manufacture a controversy? Or just a guy trying to molest his own granddaughters?

Brings a new meaning to the term mass shooting.

Gives me a little hope to see normal Americans not playing along with the administration's power grab BS.

More: The grand jury's rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent. It also amounted to a sharp rebuke by a panel of ordinary citizens against the prosecutors assigned to bring charges against people arrested after President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents to fight crime and patrol the city's streets.

The rejection by grand jurors was particularly noteworthy given the attention paid to the case of the man who threw the sandwich, Sean C. Dunn. Video of the episode went viral on social media, senior officials talked about the case, and the administration posted footage of a large group of heavily armed law enforcement officers going to Mr. Dunn's apartment.

It remained unclear if prosecutors planned to try again to obtain an indictment against Mr. Dunn, 37, a former Justice Department paralegal. They could also forgo seeking felony charges and refile his case as a misdemeanor, which does not require an indictment to move forward.

He'd have to move. Governor Stein would never send NC guardsmen to help Trump attack Americans.

Shows you the level of respect the administration has for service members. Taking them away from their real jobs and their families to make them pick up trash in DC.

The California prop will be put on the ballot and voted on by the people.

The Utah maps were not.
