“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.
Trump & Hegseth aren't just proposing to livestream an execution for people who want to watch. They're proposing to broadcast a man being shot to death, even if deserved by our system, and even if you agree with this version of the death penalty, knowing that the footage will be clipped, shared, and pushed into social media feeds. Including those of our children. The gruesome image will be everywhere. Parents will have virtually no control over whether their kids see it. Once those images are released, there is no taking them back. Hope all the parents in the Trump Admin are cool with that.

Today, we honor and remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Allies stood together then, and we stand together today. We will #NeverForget.
25 years ago today, the world watched in horror as the United States suffered the devastating terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost and honor the courage of those who responded. We also remember the solidarity that followed, as allies and partners stood with the United States. NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history, affirming that an attack against one Ally is considered an attack against all.

This is insane. If you signed up for a free event or even bought some 250th merch, your data was probably harvested by Trump's campaign.    Our investigation found that Trump's Freedom 250 secretly harvested Americans' personal data to track them and try to influence the upcoming midterms, using America's 250th birthday as cover.    We're getting federal watchdogs and the committee that oversees the election process involved to get the full extent of what happened and hold those responsible accountable.

.@rep_gray pointed this out to me - the crime omnibus bill was passed into law without the governors signature. Among a plethora of other items included in the 67-page document, Alaska’s age of consent has now been raised from 16 to 18. @AlaskaBeacon’s writeup when it passed: #akleg alaskabeacon.com/2026/05/20/…
