The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society. We don’t have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

If you are dumb enough to believe this, you are probably a Trump voter.
Trump: So if the Republicans win, you get $5000.
Community note
Important Context: Trump has previously promised $5000 DOGE checks and $2000 tariff rebate checks, only to deny he ever promised those checks and never follow through. cnbc.com/2025/02/27/tru… cnbc.com/2025/11/11/tru… marketwatch.com/story/trump-pr

Man, I gotta say, as an american. I love how trump illegally taxed us and now the biggest corporations in the country get a free check. Awesome stuff from the don't tread on me, taxation is theft crowd. Appreciate it. You guys are killing it. Also cool that Trump tried to ruin an Olympian's life because his buddy he gave a no bid contract too fucked up a pool. Again, incredible stuff from the small, limited government, 2A bro gonna take on a tyrannical government, freedom loving, constitutional #1776 patriots. You guys are on a roll. Really bringing back the patriotism and love of country. I can feel the red, white and blue flowing through my veins. Watching a country we are at war with hack our water systems and then watch the president blame americans for it. Just a real chefs kiss. Makes me want to listen to the national anthem over and over.

President Trump's tariffs have made the US into a paragon of protectionism. The result has been higher prices, weaker investment, fewer manufacturing jobs — and a willingness to make falsehood official policy in order to defend a failed economic creed. My take:

Be the kind of father who doesn’t tolerate a man who abused his daughter.
Sen. Bernie Moreno says he doesn’t “know” if Rep. Max Miller should stay on the ballot after Moreno’s daughter accused Miller of domestic violence. Miller denies the allegations.
