In Case You Didn't Know.
While on post, a Sentinel from the U.S. Army's 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) exercises absolute post authority over the plaza at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, meaning their orders must be obeyed by all personnel regardless of civilian status or military rank.
Humble yourself. Not to the Guard, but to the locale. The meaning. The tomb. OUR Warriors who lay resting.
It is a solemn place. A place of respect. A place to focus. A place to assess.
No Rank Insignia on the mat: Sentinels wear blank uniforms without rank insignia while walking the mat. This intentional choice symbolizes that they do not outrank the unknown service members resting below, and it clarifies that their authority derives directly from the sacred nature of the post rather than personal rank.

To guard this Tomb, you must volunteer.
Then memorize 7 pages of history, word for word. Learn nearly 300 graves. Train for months, much of it at night on this plaza.
By 2025, only 732 had earned the badge.
The watch hasn't stopped since 1937.

Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined.
“It’s bigger than Watergate.”
“It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.”
“It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.”
“There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ”
“Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.”
“At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.”
“And some of them took that deal.”
“It’s one thing to be evil to a child.”
“It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.”
“The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”

What Trump did by demolishing the Historic East Wing will go down in history as one of the worst acts by American President. The White House belongs to the American people and not Trump and it’s time that we took it back and the midterms were just a start.

Trump went on national TV to claim "we haven't lost one soldier" in the Iran War. He's lying.
Over 21 American service members have made the ultimate sacrifice.
It is past time to end the war and hold Trump accountable.

Trump on the Iran War: Nobody has died. It's not a war.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Pentagon has updated the death toll of US troops during Iran war to 21
11 of which have died from enemy hostile fire.

Jared Kushner is set to go to Abu Dhabi next week to negotiate for the Trump administration.
Unless and until he gets confirmed by the Senate, that's illegal under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. We sued to enforce the law. axios.com/2026/11/03/us-russ…

I’ve seen some of my colleagues say @SecWar Hegseth has been effective and they agree with the war, so they’ll vote not to impeach.
That’s not the question though. The question is whether he committed impeachable acts, and the answer is yes, eight times:

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents pulled over U.S. citizens, claiming it was for a traffic violation, then threatened to handcuff them for asking “WHY?”
ICE are NOT traffic police. Americans do NOT surrender their constitutional rights because a federal agent says so.
ABOLISH ICE.

Confirmed --this really happened. They were not authorized to do it and the purpose is unclear.
Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk.
An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger.
This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

I see Texas Republicans didn’t learn a fucking thing from the ass-beating they just received, since they’re trying to strip the powers of the incoming governor.
Democrats better learn to be as vindictive and bloodthirsty as these Republicans or this big win won’t mean shit.

It's Election Day and Donald Trump is calling for the Democratic Party's leading election lawyer, someone who has humiliated him and his lawyers in scores of cases, to be jailed.
This is not normal and yet here we are.

Our country should never be a hiding place for the powerful running from accountability.
Flavio Bolsonaro lost Brazil's presidential election on Sunday by more than four million votes. A day later, Brazilian authorities ordered him to surrender his passports in a money laundering investigation.
Instead, he slipped across the border and flew to Miami on a private jet arranged by the Trump administration, reportedly at Trump’s own direction, with a fast-tracked green card coming soon.
This is a disgrace.
Millions of families wait years, some for decades, to follow the rules and earn a green card. Handing Trump’s political ally a shortcut around his own country's courts is morally bankrupt.
Congress needs answers.
Who ordered this and what was promised in return?

in case anyone needs a refresher: you can paste a fics URL into the wayback machine and read it as if you are on AO3. only catch is that newer fics are less likely to be archived.

Three female Democratic Congressional candidates have all been in recent serious accidents including Heidi Kuhn & her husband Matt of Tennessee,Ohio Rep.Marcy Kaptur & Alaska’s Mary Peltola. At least two of them have a good chance of beating their Republican opponents. Sketchy!
