#Ukraine is between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, it is trying to defend itself from Russia’s army, which includes about 14,000 North Korean soldiers that the Kim Jong-un government has sent since 2024.

NEW: The govt claims that after the Fourth Circuit's powerful order in the Abrego Garcia case—which the govt describes as a "clarification"—the State Department "has engaged in appropriate diplomatic discussions with El Salvador regarding Abrego Garcia." But it refuses to say any more.

Don’t confuse “a situation that worked for me/ us” with “this is something *everyone* *must* do.”

To celebrate Earth Day 2025, the Trump regime has decided to kill more species...
_____________________________________

In what could be one of the most significant actions the Trump administration has taken on the environment, officials have proposed redefining what it means to “harm” a plant or animal under the Endangered Species Act, excluding habitat destruction from activities deemed a threat to protected species.

Officials said the move would reduce an unnecessary regulatory burden. Conservationists warn it would open the door to more logging, mining, home construction and other ecologically damaging ventures in places where endangered creatures live.

If RFK Jr. and Bhattacharya proceed with their plans to use *genomic data* from Native Americans without their consent, as the article below states, it is as unethical as anything I’ve ever seen. In my experience, genetic data collection from Tribes is a no-go zone. Period. It’s simply not done.

This is the President of the United States saying in a social media post that not everyone should be given a trial.

That is a violation of the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

Trump should be impeached and removed from office.

It couldn’t be any more straightforward.

FACT: The Convicted-Felon-in-Chief is a bad manager, and he picked unqualified people of poor character to be leaders in his cabinet.

FACT: Almost every single Republican Senator (and a few Democrats as well) voted to confirm his unqualified and poor choices to be leaders in his cabinet.

FACT: Hegseth is just the first to screw up so royally that the GOP can’t paper over it. More will follow.

Let’s see if we can get it right on the second try, shall we Senators?

Trump, Day 1553: "Doing a great job."

Pope Francis I, a leader of the so-called "resistance" to #TheRealDonaldJTrump, was found dead after meeting with Vice-President JD Vance in Rome following the Easter vacation period.

The Vice-President was in Rome to dress down the Pontiff for encouraging illegal immigration. His Holiness called Trump's cruelty to immigrants, "not Christian" (really!), to which Trump responded with a 130% tariff on crucifixes. (OK, I made that one up).

Dear Non-Kamala Voters: They are coming to garnish your wages and if they can’t do that, forget renting an apartment, buying a house, purchasing a car or anything else where you need credit.

Voting for anyone but the candidate with your best interests in mind that has the best chance to win or sitting it out does not serve anyone.

Anyone.
