Domestic problems cannot be solved if they are not identified.

I’m concerned that in the long term if things don’t go well, the U.S. will be held out as a scapegoat.

It’s always easier to blame an external entity than to do the hard work of reflecting on one’s own mistakes.

Of course, the real and primary blame lays squarely on Russia, which decided to launch a full-scale invasion of #Ukraine.

So Oreo the escape artist got out again. All the pet doors have once again been shut tight. The other two cats are not happy about being punished for the actions of their brother. Tomorrow, we’ll again go in search of his escape hole.

Montanans have a #FirstAmendment right to use TikTok to speak and access information online, and the company has a First Amendment right to select and curate users’ content. So we’re glad a federal judge struck down Montana’s TikTok ban.

Been a minute, so I figured I would delight you all with some . I expect Snooty will spend the rest of his night on that wheel.

#hamas has fired over 10,000 rockets into Israel - not aiming at military targets but at civilians.

That is a #warcrime

Anyone who refuses to acknowledge Hamas' #warcrimes while complaining about Israel's military operations (where they warn civilians to get out of the way) is supporting #terrorism and #genocide

I want to see the fighting in #Gaza end.

I want to see Israelis and Palestinians living in peace with each other.

But this is Hamas' war. This is what they wanted. And they wanted all these ignorant people to condemn Israel for defending its existence while remaining silent about Hamas' culpability.

Hamas bombed Palestinian caravans as they fled #Gazacity.

Hamas shot Palestinians who tried to flee from the hospitals.

Hamas did these things knowing that people would falsely blame Israel for them.

There is no hope for peace while Hamas exists. They only exist for the sake of carrying out war against Israel and all Jews.

I also happen to think that even a current president should not be immune from prosecution — but there is ZERO question that immunity does not attach to former presidents.

I think every single day about Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a beautiful boy who was taken away from Rachel Goldberg-Polin, a teacher, mom, and someone who has helped me so much.

I think about how she must be feeling now. How she would sit down with me and help me with the most trivial things, water and electricity bills, landlord. And now she spoke to the Pope, to Elon Musk, and Biden.

I pray every day her boy will be returned to her soon, she has the determination that I have not seen in anyone else I ever met. So much kindness, understanding, and humor. I want her to have her family back.

Talk about clueless.
The only people who don't want to work are Republicans in Congress.
They want the rest of us to work until we die.

How did God not strike down Mike Johnson where he stood?

"The Republican Party stands for the rule of law. And the people in charge of this are doing this thoroughly, carefully, and methodically. They're investigating and gathering all the facts. And to do this appropriately, and to do it in a manner that upholds our constitutional responsibility, requires time, it requires a sound process." -Speaker Johnson discussing the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
