Psaki Says There Is No ‘Official U.S. Government Position’ On Activists Protesting Outside SCOTUS Justices’ Homes

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday that there was no “official U.S. Government position” on where protesters chose to gather, even if that meant they were publishing the home addresses of sitting Supreme Court justices.

So the White House is implicitly condoning the intimidation of SC Judges, at their homes, by crazed abortionists. I do miss Trump.

Great: Yes, of course we helped sink Russia’s Black Sea flagship, U.S. officials admit

I can’t believe I have to ask this but here it is: Are we trying to get Putin to attack NATO?

Is there some strategic benefit I’m missing to turning this into a hot war between the U.S. and Russia? Like, “the war will end much faster and with fewer casualties if we let the U.S. Air Force bomb Russian troops in the Donbas for a week”?

Canada’s top soldier says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created an unstable global environment and military supply chains need to accelerate significantly to respond to the crisis.

An increase in production can only be considered if the processed is designed through a transgender bipoc lens.

Satanic Temple asks Boston to fly flag after court ruling

BOSTON (AP) — The Satanic Temple is requesting to fly a flag over Boston City Hall after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week that the city violated the free speech rights of a conservative activist seeking to fly a Christian flag outside the downtown building.

The Salem-based group tweeted a request filed Tuesday with the city property management department to raise a flag marking “Satanic Appreciation Week” from July 23-29.

Mayor Michelle Wu’s office declined to comment on the group’s request other than to say it’s reviewing the high court’s decision while also evaluating its flag-raising program.
