This is why people mock "thoughts and prayers". Duran's picture is below, his 3 year old daughter and wife cried in grief when he was shot by a coward who protested he did it to protect public safety. The church must lead with actions and clear statements decrying this murder.
Hoping that the Post had the integrity to complete this sentence truthfully - "... attempts to subvert democracy."
What is the world doing that criminal convictions are not only not disqualifying but seem to be a job requirement for running for high office. Does France really want a convicted embezzler as president? Trump too, and Netanyahoo? Never mind Maduro, etc.
I want to know who is insulting our country on its 250th anniversary by making AI mockups of a Nazi eagle on the White House

wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy him Rock em Sock em robots and a loudspeaker with canned cheers?
with a Republican house, senate, and white house I hope American voters recognize that Republican efforts to deflect blame by repeating Biden, Biden over and over again is logical nonsense - Republicans and no one else has done this and they must be voted out of office now.

The department of justice just wrote calculus finals for classes around the country - infinite variations on:
Peter Baker wrote about Trump's anger presidency, but it also explains his followers - they are angry (probably at their own ignorance and stupidity) and will vent their anger no matter how much it costs the country and even to the detriment of their own children. They are simply not rational.
My situation today, but have had two Wordle in 1 (different words, one was a mistake - I was sleepy)
Did you have a Franziskaner Bier? How the Friars kept up their strength during Lent.
Be clear, Means is not "softening her stance", she is telling whatever lies about her positions that she feels necessary in order to convince weak people like Cassidy et al. to vote to confirm her even though they know well that her policies as surgeon general will result in illness and death.
