Ireland is the birthplace of Halloween, a celebration tracing back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went to Michigan, home to the highest share of Arab Americans in the nation, and told a crowd that 500 million Arabs "don't produce science," don't win the Nobel Prize, and "don't produce literature."
It is hard to know where to begin with something so false and so ugly.
Arabs have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry, in literature, and in peace. They have won the Wolf Prize. The words algebra and algorithm come to us from Arabic. Our mathematics, our astronomy, our medicine, our very understanding of light carry the fingerprints of Arab science.
RFK, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, himself has no medical degree. He said it to attack Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a physician, a Rhodes Scholar, and a public health leader. It is part of a coordinated effort to paint Arab and Muslim Americans as suspect, as lesser, as other. We know where that road leads, and we are not going down it.
America is strongest when we honor the full dignity and the full contribution of every community. We are better than this. And we will prove it by calling this out loudly, and standing together against it.
The very wealthy complain about taxes yet are funding up to 75% of the $11bn being spent on the mid-terms.
This system is broken.

During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career.
Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home.
This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.
This is not acceptable @BankofAmerica

Holy cow! Looks like Trump brought in an ally to shut down a CFTC investigation of possible insider trading!
“Traders placed billions of dollars' worth of contracts predicting oil would tall and the S&P 500 would rise about 15 minutes before President Donald Trump announced his U-turn on striking Iranian power plants.”
An investigation by the CFTC was opened and forensic experts began their work. Shortly after, blank, a Trump insider shut it down:
“What happened next, they said, was highly unusual: Mel Gunewardena, a senior adviser to the agency’s Trump-appointed chairman, Michael Selig, told a supervisor within the market oversight team to retract the referral.”
I gifted this so you can read it.

The US is a global embarrassment being run by a criminal regime
I appreciate the strong stance taken by @SecRubio in defense of Americans and American sovereignty and urge our closest allies to take full advantage of this opportunity to address U.S. concerns.

If you can still support Republicans after Jack Smith said this, there is something wrong with you.
"We found that [Trump] caused that violence, that it was foreseeable to him, and that he sought to exploit it."

This is a parable about how the false conspiracy racket works.
@SenEricSchmitt asks former special prosecutor Jack Smith if he was in Atlanta at a Hawks-Warriors basketball game, on 2/3/24.
Smith says no.
Schmidt then flamboyantly flashed an email from a Smith staffer reporting that Smith would be attending the "Hawks game" that day, and accused Smith of perjury. Called him a "dirtbag."
Turns out Schmidt's Perry Mason moment was a bust.
When Smith finally was given a look at the email, he recalled that that he did attended the Iowa Hawkeyes at Maryland Terrapins women's game that day to see Caitlin Clark play. The Hawkeyes were the "Hawks" referenced in the email.
Records show that the game in MD did take place on that day.
No apology from Schmidt, a former prosecutor.

Jack Smith just told the Truth LOUD and CLEAR!
“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation.
“If asked whether to prosecute a former president today based on the same facts, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat.
“The charges against President Trump were the result of the evidence. Grand juries in two separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions, as alleged in the indictments they returned.
“Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power.
“After leaving office in January of 2021, President Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club and repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents.
“Highly sensitive national security information was held in a bathroom and a ballroom where events and gatherings took place.
