"From the river to the sea": Israel's vision of its territorial boundaries?

The oppressed become the oppressors.

A rephrasing of Niemller's famous quote in case billionaires think they get a pass.

First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant.

Then they came for POC, and I did not speak out because I was not a POC.

Then they came for the LGBTQ+, and I did not speak out because I was not LGBTQ+.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the billionaires and there was no one left to speak for me.

what about county commissioner? or district court judge?

No; not even those positions. Republicans need to hear from the American people that the republican party is dead; that Trump and their quiet acceptance of his policies killed it.

Did Trump think that he was so much smarter than every other president, democrat or republican, that has ever had to deal with this problem? This predicament that he has found himself in is what happens when arrogance makes you think that you are the smartest person in the room and you surround yourself with dumbass yes men and women afraid of their own shadow.

But, considering he had to find a way of staying out of prison, he said whatever needed saying and blames his failure on the judicial system. When viewed from this perspective, he played a losing hand smartly.

This is a great way to encourage women to have more children as reporting indicates that the Trump administration wants to do.

Lisa Murkowski: 'We Are All Afraid' of Retaliation

Murkowski has just given an extremely powerful talking point to every democrat running for office: "if you're too afraid to do your job, QUIT"!!!

It's about damn time!

This early migratory wave was largely educated, middle class and 97% white. These well-off Cubans received many benefits once they arrived, ranging from relicensing programs to transition Cuban medical doctors and nurses into jobs in the United State, to the extension of SSI (Supplemental Security Income), to special refugee benefits that exceeded the welfare benefits received by U.S. citizens, against which African Americans in Florida bitterly complained.

FDA making plans to end its routine food safety inspections

Any food vendor, supermarket, etc. should be up in arms about this because as people get sick, who are they coming after: the person that sold them the efin food!

Harvard Rejects 'Unprecedented' Trump Demands over Funding

Good for Harvard. And, to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, these institutions had better hang together or assuredly, they will hang separately.

"Not a dime of our tax money should subsidize and help non native born non Americans get a leg up on an Ivy League education"

Federal aid, including Pell Grants and federal student loans, is limited to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

This is the height of stupidity

The key question that people need to address is: if Trump were intentionally trying to destroy America would he be doing anything different?

It is my contention that all of this chaos is by design! It is hard to imagine Trump telling many people, if any, his true intentions for fear even they would rebel. He continues to lead, and they continue to follow thinking that he is really "owning the libs". They are like crabs in a pot of water heating to a boil. They may not realize what's happening until it is to late to do anything about it.

Ultimately, he will not be successful because of whistle blowers, the size and scope of the resistance and most importantly, dems taking control of congress: both chambers.

Liberals are flooding these town halls to cause disruption so stories like this can be written

You mean like the same liberals that rioted on Jan 6?

Keep telling yourself that lie and wake up surprised after the next set of congressional elections.

It's not just the poor that are on Medicaid. It's also people of means that have "sheltered" their money that also receive Medicaid; primarily to care for their aging parents.

The problem isn't the deportation of gang members to El Salvador it is the deportation "without due process" and in one particular case (Kilmar Abrego Garcia) "in violation of a court order"! Since there is an outstanding deportation order, bring him back and deport him to some other country; just not El Salvador!

No. The feds (Trump) want to make a point. They are purposefully picking a fight with the judiciary to see how far they can push the issue. SCOTUS will get this case again because the judge seems adamant to have her rulings followed and DOJ will certainly appeal. SCOTUS doesn't want to set up the scenario where Trump is in open defiance of their rulings so they will try to be as vague as possible and they will keep getting these cases over and over again because lower court judges just don't see things the way they do.

Farmers Call for Another Bailout

You mean that want another welfare check?

Great! Somebody had to step up.

It is important to not let Trump and republicans in the HOR and Senate off the hook for the mess that DOGE has caused. Now that the turmoil is finally beginning to be revealed, I suspect that some of those weasels will try to claim ignorance of what was really going on.

Roberts is doing all he can to prevent the inevitable: Trump defying a court order. All he is doing is delaying it because the only way that Trump can achieve his objective (i.e. dictator status) is to create a constitutional crisis and to declare martial law to deal with the public's outrage.

What's with all of these negotiations? I thought the goal of Tariffs was to incentivize companies to make their products here; in the USA. How is re-negotiating trade deals going to achieve that goal? Have we been lied to? Again?

This ruling plus others will demonstrate the Trump administrations refusal to honor court rulings. Since the court has no enforcement power, we have our constitutional crisis. The only way it can be resolved is if congress changes hands next year and dems will surely cite these refusals as evidence of abuse of power. Maybe by then, there will be enough republicans in the senate to go along with dems to convict him and kick him out of office. I suspect that the country, especially red states, will be in such turmoil by then that hopefully there will be very little political support to keep him in office.

Trump Appears to take Staffing Advice from Far-Right Activist Laura Loomer

More evidence that Trump doesn't give a fkkk about who he has working for him as long as they do as he says. If he can further demonstrate that kissing up to him has benefits, even better.

Eric Adams Quits Dem Party, Will Run as an Independant

IMO Adams has no chance of winning as an independent. What he will do is fracture the democratic party and improve the odds that a republican will win.

I wonder if you can tell the difference between AI and a human by asking it several obscure questions that no random human would know the answers to. If it returned with all correct answers, does it mean that you are communicating with an AI? Maybe AI needs to be dumbed down to be more human like?

Sometimes you step in sh.. and come out smelling like a rose. I am sure the DOJ isn't happy.

Two top Wall Street analysts are calling on the White House to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services,

Where were these guys during the confirmation hearings? People were told how bad he would be yet they people whose opinion may have mattered sat on their thumbs. I guess people want to see a train wreck before taking any action.

IMHO, this is all according to plan. Trump wants to neuter the federal government and ruin the economy so that he can impose his will on the American people.
