The ONLY thing required to end war in Ukraine is for Russia to stop its attacks and get the f*ck out of Ukraine. PERIOD.

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelenskyy against Putin! 🇺🇦

Navajo Code Talkers would like to wish John Kinsel Sr. a very happy 104th birthday. God bless you, Sir.

BREAKING: Pulitzer Board turns the tables on Trump in defamation lawsuit — demands discovery of ALL his finances and medical records in explosive legal fight. Donald Trump thought he could bully and intimidate the Pulitzer Prize Board into submission. Instead, the Board just hit back — hard. According to a new report from Law & Crime, members of the Pulitzer Prize Board are fighting Trump’s lawsuit with sweeping discovery demands that could pry open one of his most closely guarded secrets: his finances. After Trump sued the Board for standing by Pulitzer-winning reporting on his links to Russia — reporting that he despises — the Board is now insisting that if Trump wants to litigate, he’s going to have to play by the rules — and answer uncomfortable questions under oath. Trump’s lawsuit claims the Board defamed him by refusing to retract awards given to journalists whose reporting detailed his ties to Russia. But the Board isn’t backing down. Instead, its lawyers are demanding broad discovery, including documents and testimony that go directly to Trump’s wealth, business interests, medical history, and credibility — areas that have long proven hazardous terrain for the president. In court filings, the Board argues that Trump himself made his finances relevant by repeatedly injecting claims about his success, reputation, and damages into the case. In other words: if Trump says the reporting hurt his standing, then the truth about his money matters — a lot. Legal experts say this is a classic “be careful what you wish for” moment. Trump has spent years attacking journalists, institutions, and independent watchdogs, assuming intimidation would be enough. But discovery cuts both ways. If this case proceeds, Trump could be forced to turn over records he has spent decades concealing and sit for depositions that can’t be spun away with late-night rants on social media. The Pulitzer Board’s message is unmistakable: they’re not afraid of Trump, and they’re not rewriting history because he doesn’t like it. The awards were granted, the reporting stands, and now Trump may have to answer — in a courtroom, not on Truth Social. This legal counterpunch also exposes the deeper irony of Trump’s crusade. A man who claims to champion “free speech” is trying to punish journalists for doing their jobs — while crying victim when those journalists, and the institutions that defend them, refuse to cave. If Trump thought this lawsuit would intimidate the press, it may end up doing the opposite. By opening the door to discovery into his finances and credibility, he’s handed his critics exactly what they’ve been asking for: accountability. And this time, it won’t be decided by a rally crowd or a rage post — it’ll be decided under oath. Please like and share if you can’t wait to see how this turns out!

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

The nation mourns the passing of John Kinsel Sr., a significant historical figure and one of the last Navajo Code Talkers to serve. He reached the remarkable age of 107, carrying with him nearly a century of memory and service. As part of the most important communications unit of WWII, Kinsel delivered messages that Japanese intelligence never managed to decipher, codes that became a key element in Pacific operations. On Iwo Jima, he moved under enemy fire, an act of bravery that earned him the Purple Heart. His life is a priceless legacy: a voice that once saved lives is now an enduring part of our nation's history.

It should send a shiver down the spine of every patriotic American that the president and secretary of defense would abuse their power to come after me or anyone this way. It wasn’t enough for Donald Trump to say I should be hanged. It wasn’t enough for Pete Hegseth to threaten me with a court martial. Now they are threatening everything I fought and served for across twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy– all because I repeated something every service member is taught. The United States has the most professional military in the world – I trust their integrity. What I don’t trust is Pete Hegseth, a recklessly unqualified secretary of defense who has already shown he will corrupt any process to make an example out of me and send a message to every veteran and every American that they shouldn’t speak out. If Trump and Hegseth think this will stop me from doing what I’ve done every day of my adult life – fighting for this country – then they’ve got the wrong guy. Tomorrow, and the next day, I will keep doing my job representing Arizona.

TRUMP “MARIE ANTOINETTE” SAYS, “NO HEALTH CARE FOR YOU PEASANTS, BUT A BALLROOM FOR THE QUEEN!”

Anyone who talks about their fellow Americans as enemies to be "taken out" is not fit to lead the nation. Take the keys away from Donald Trump before he drives us further into chaos.

Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

Trump thrives in chaos. The GOP just fed him more. This is more than politics. It’s a rehearsal for a takeover.👇 JackHopkinsNow.com

Some phrases are so well-known, you don't need to say the whole thing to be understood. E.g., you can say "birds of a feather" without saying "flock together." -“When life hands you lemons…” -“Great minds…” -“When in Rome…” Such partial phrases are called 'anapodotons.'

'Doubtful.' But more importantly, what?
