America is a nation of second chances. Our nation must provide people who have been incarcerated meaningful opportunities for redemption and rehabilitation. America was founded on fresh starts, new possibilities, and the belief that every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Yet, for people returning home to their communities from jail or prison, obstacles often stand in the way of turning this promise into a reality. Bipartisan elected officials, faith leaders, civil rights advocates, and law enforcement leaders agree that our criminal justice system can and should reflect core values that promote safer and stronger communities, such…

A Proclamation on Older Americans Month, 2023

     On this 60th anniversary of Older Americans Month, we honor our Nation’s senior citizens, whose lifetimes of hard work, devotion to family, and commitment to community have laid the foundation for the country we are today.  We have a rock-solid responsibility to ensure our Nation’s seniors can age with dignity and financial security.      When President John F.

Day 427: war diaries w/Former Advisor to Ukraine President, Intel Officer @arestovych & #Feygin

There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this “macho” propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines.

We also know where his weak spots are and what atrocities his regime is committing on a daily basis. Message from the source channel owner.

A Proclamation on Law Day, U.S.A., 2023

     When our Founding Fathers convened to write the Constitution over 235 years ago, they set in motion an experiment that changed the world.  America would not be a land of kings but a Nation of laws.  Since then, generations of Americans have worked to defend and improve our laws, hold accountable those who break or undermine them, and ensure equal rights and protections for all.  On Law Day, we celebrate the rule of law and rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of a more perfect Union.      Our Nation and world are at an inflection point.  At home and around…
