Putin sits in Moscow claiming that his armies have taken a town that the Ukrainian president is personally visiting. There are cowardly tyrants and there are courageous elected leaders and it is good to know the difference.

Senator Patty @murray.senate.gov puts out an update on Wilmer Toledo Martinez & sends a message to DHS & ICE - There will be accountability!

Things are getting bad in the US.

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.” And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

I know many people with a lot of wealth who are not very bright. I know a lot of people with no money who are brilliant. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

This is probably the clearest indication yet that the administration understands what they’re doing in the Caribbean is illegal. They’re now threatening the ICC with sanctions if they investigate Trump and his team.

So much easier to just use the U.S. military to steal from other countries than to actually earn it or make deals, amirite? Thanks, John Roberts, for unleashing this lifelong criminal.

ICE continues to assault, harass, & harm Americans. In Minneapolis, incompetent tax payer funded ICE hit a pedestrian & pepper sprayed civilians from their vehicles. This happened after ICE decided to go up & down a street demanding to see people's IDs, caused chaos & injuries, & then left. #Pinks

This #HumanRightsDay I am proud to be supporting Amnesty International’s efforts to support asylum seekers, immigrants, and refugees, as well as stopping the spread of dangerous authoritarian practices. Join me! amnestyusa.org/act

You know the best way to avoid being prosecuted for war crimes? Don’t commit them in the first place. White House demands International Criminal Court pledge not to prosecute Trump www.rawstory.com/trump-intern...

BREAKING: The DOJ has filed its opposition to my motion for expedited processing of the EPSTEIN TRAINING VIDEOS. They're arguing that there's NO WIDESPREAD PUBLIC INTEREST. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-doj-re...

Call your Congress member! Put on the pressure! Let’s get those 4 members!!!!

OMG: The signage behind Trump at his so-called affordability event today reads "LOWER PRICES" and "BIGGER PAYCHECKS" Trump's strategy to counter his disastrous handling of the affordability crisis is to just...lie about it. This is a gift to Democrats.

WOOT!!!! HIGGINS WON! The 1st demicratic mayor in Miami in over 30 years Well done!

US signs pact with Kenya under 'America First' global health plan So we don’t have money to support US citizen healthcare but we have $1.6B to support Kenyan healthcare. This is not me being anti-support for Kenya, but it’s almost as if the Republicans aren’t really America First Afterall! /1

Um yeah. We know Trump wants to protect himself and the people who partied with Epstein.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Texas, let’s win this thing. #JasmineForUS #TexasTough

They simply don’t care! 👇

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Please, share & share & share & share & share! Will ANY MAGA supporters care that this despicable excuse for human garbage is denigrating children & adults w/disabilities? Do NO MAGA supporters have children or family w/intellectual disabilities and other disabilities? @oneveteransoath.bsky.social

YIKES! Fox “News” host and Trump lackey Laura Ingraham just tried to tell a whopper of a lie to cover for Trump’s farmer bailout plan, pretending tariffs are paid by foreign countries. A community note fact check quickly corrected the record.

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw? TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence? COTTON: No, I didn't

Fox News host CUTS OFF interview after James Talarico fact checks him.

AFFORDABILITY IS NOT A SCAM.

Senator Cotton will not stand for this.

Great financial crisis? You mean when the housing market collapsed, banks went under, our GDP sank, the working class lost trillions in net worth and unemployment soared? Seems like a repeat of the last time we tried to bully the world with isolationist tariffs. Not good.

Ignore the bullshit propaganda coming out of the White House and the Kremlin (which are arguably the same institution these days). The REALITY is, 62% of American voters believe the USA should give more support to Ukraine and want to see a Ukrainian victory. www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

Tom Cotton would not even be in Congress, were it not for the huge defense contractors supporting him from the beginning and keeping him flush with cash.

#Pinks Yet trumps birthday become a free entry day? Unreal ⬇️

The Kremlin is praising the new US security strategy. Any questions?

In response to questions, a Transportation Department spokesperson asked for a copy of Duffy’s 2015 brief in which he defended Congress’ power of the purse. But after ProPublica provided it, the spokesperson stopped responding.

Europe Sounds the Alarm as the United States Sides With Putin open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Every paper in America should have a 6 inch headline: Sitting Member of Congress, Adelita Grivalja, Attacked by Trump's ICE with Chemical Weapons. The Congresswoman was hit by gas pellet munitions when coming upon an ICE abduction at a restaurant she frequents in her community. #ICELawlessness

Admiral admits boat targeted in controversial strike was not headed toward US: report

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse. The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead. "Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender" Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue." 1/

Agreed. And it's not only improper for American elected officials to tell other people around the world what is right and wrong. It goes from improper to humiliating when the American elected official is just doing PR for a company. (1/2)

MAJOR UPDATE: Speaker Mike Johnson is working behind closed doors to strip IVF coverage for all active duty members of the military. Will the self-proclaimed "Father of IVF" Donald Trump swoop in to save it?

@drneilstone.bsky.social #medsky

Did someone* try to assassinate Zelensky with drones targeting his flight to Dublin? Because flying four large drones into the expected flight path (the plane was early) looks like an assassination attempt. *Yes, obviously Russia is the likely suspect, but not literally the only possibility.

9 House Republicans could choose to take away Johnson’s gavel today if they wanted.
