We also won WWII with the AP reporting alongside allied troops at D Day. This is their photo. Let the press back in.

Defense Secretary Hegseth: “We won World War II with seven four-star generals. We have 44 today.” @FoxNewsSunday
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The United States had seven 5-star generals/admirals at the end of WWII. The US Army had 13 4-star generals at the end of WWII. The US Navy had 9 4-star admirals at the end of WWII. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U… military.com/daily-news/202… arlingtoncemetery.mil/Explore/Notabl…

remembering the brief push on the left to get Sotomayor to retire this spring

This from @jbarro sure seems correct to me — we have seen this movie before and it sucks! joshbarro.com/p/sonia-sotoma…
Sonia Sotomayor Must Retire

Sonia Sotomayor Must Retire

Democrats are distressed about the conservative court, but not ruthless enough to tell the aging justice to step down in time to avoid shifting the court even farther right.

This is a big deal, folks. We have no idea how many voters left while voting sites were shut down so law enforcement could check them out or were discouraged by the bomb threats.

The biggest story of the night is Russia calling multiple bomb threats into Democratic strongholds across the country. This should shock every American to the core.

Yes, Trump is really claiming immigrants eat cats and geese. It's a racist scare tactic that has taken over the internet—and even made its way into the presidential debate. slate.trib.al/tssXxf1

Here’s Where Trump Got That “They’re Eating the Dogs” Debate Lie

Once more for those in the back: A Republican president could effectively ban abortion without legislation by enforcing the Comstock Act.

Trump twice declined to say he'd veto a national abortion ban, says they don't need to discuss it anymore and says he hasn't discussed that with Vance. He's says passing anything on abortion seems impossible. He's right: Either party would have to gut the filibuster most likely

Trump is right. States have been voting on abortion. And, in every case so far where people have been able to vote, they have voted for abortion access.

If you reenacted any entire Trump answer on a street corner, people would just assume you were an insane person.

The new team running WaPo for 2024 was together at the WSJ from 2014-20, while that for 2025 reunites a partnership at the Sunday Times of London from 2002-05 and the Telegraph from 2007-10. Thats a fascinating set of old boy networks, but hardly a history of major innovation.

Indigenous peoples play an essential role in safeguarding nature – but are often denied involvement in key decisions. ☝️ It’s vital we help uphold their rights, respect their knowledge and appropriately support them to preserve their territories of life.

Centene could lose up to $11 billion in revenue once states resume removing ineligible people from Medicaid. Molina Healthcare's risk is even higher.

As someone who adopted a pup that didn’t have a single visitor for four months, I can tell you that being overlooked isnt indicative of anything! Our pup was just waiting for us to bring him home. Sky could be that for you! Read the thread for contact details

From FB 1/3 It’s official, we’re desperate 😔 Sky hasn’t received ONE inquiry since arriving to us November last year. No one has sent an email. No one has called about her. No one asks to visit with her. We have posted her multiple times…still nothing.
