When credible allegations surface against Democrats, the pressure comes from within the party. Republicans chose to rally around Donald Trump despite a civil jury's finding he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll & other allegations. Worth paying attention to. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

ICE may have moved off the front page, but another man is dead after an encounter with agents, and the administration is still defending detention without bond. This is why we keep watching, even when the headlines move on. Read today’s Civil Discourse: joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-still-...

at the moment the best we can hope for is that Trump does not confuse the elevator button with the big red button from the nuclear football

Hey..here’s one clue for spotting bad faith trolls in Bluesky. They will ask “what are the Dems doing about this regime?” yet will NEVER ask the same of the GOP…even though the GOP has the MAJORITY in the house and senate. Don’t feed them. Ignore and block them.

Here’s the problem: we can no longer believe the government when it makes these kinds of statements after its agents kill someone. That’s a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Read the full analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

When someone tells you who they are: Graham Platner thinking he can force Maine Democrats to let him control who his replacement will be after being forced out of the race.

"If Joe Biden...." Example 1000 But at least he's not President of the Islamic Republic of Japan.

How much longer do we need to put up with this? And why isn’t the media calling his dementia out? Such an embarrassment.

get a load of the look on Zelenskyy's face as Trump calls him "President Putin"

Bang. Recall that Zelensky was a television comedian before becoming president of Ukraine.

damn that Ayatollah Naruhito

Meloni refuses to so much as look at Trump as he walks by her

Supposedly, there’ll be a video announcement later today that Platner is leaving. Just go, dude. www.cnn.com/2026/07/08/p...

Accountability for January 6th is coming. It's a must if we want to move forward as a country. Jack Smith is just the man for the job, no matter how long it takes & I'm here for it! youtu.be/m-1uLWn-Nw4?...

He’s seriously mentally compromised. How can we allow the GOP to get away with not doing something about this?

Is it graffiti or is it their nest?

I don’t know which cartoonist created this, but it’s spot on.

Trump repeatedly refers to Zelenskyy as "President Putin"

bonkers scenes -- Trump is now taking questions from reporters on Putin's behalf and speaking for him

When Biden did literally this exact thing the media organized Biden Is Unfit parades in every major city until he dropped out

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

Q: Would you go to Ukraine? TRUMP: I would, yeah. When it's over. I'd rather have the war be over. I'm not Secret Service would be thrilled. (Biden traveled to Ukraine during the war ... )

He’s too cute to be real :3

I can’t wait to hear the apology tour from @jaketapper.bsky.social after he admits Trump is beyond senile

Trump can't hear: Q: As part of security guarantees, are you ready to close the skies in case Russia attacks again? TRUMP: Close what? Q: Close the skies over Ukraine RUBIO: Close the skies ZELENSKYY: Jets

I certainly don’t trust her, but MTG is lighting them up. 💥

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

This is so bad. Our allies are babysitting the President of the United States.

Oh, *do* shut up, you white supremacist dork. And why don't you call your children—if only for the novelty?

A federal judge has rejected Elon Musk's bid to void the jury verdict finding that Musk defrauded Twitter investors by trying to drive down the company's stock price after agreeing ‌to a $44 billion takeover.

Christoher Nolan had the AUDACITY to cast the goddess Athena, born from the head of Zeus, with an actress born from a human vagina.

Thom Hartmann report

I just moved a refrigerator into a fifth-floor walkup with Mitch McConnell. At one point, he held the whole thing up with just one hand. It was a little intimidating how healthy and strong and virile he is.

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

"Trump violates the public trust in large ways all the time — through his monumental corruption and self-dealing just for a start. But his smaller acts of revenge and point-scoring arguably highlight his abuse of power even more clearly." — @nberlat.bsky.social

The White House has released a report accusing the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution (particularly at the National Museum of American History) of being “radical activists” who cannot be trusted. The report is fueling speculation that the

It is an independent federal trust instrumentality created by Congress in 1846. It occupies a unique legal status that is separate from the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.

Trump administration may be laying the groundwork to replace current leadership with its own appointees. The Smithsonian has long been respected as an institution dedicated to preserving and presenting American history. This administration wants to erase history and replace it with a fake narrative.

Donald Trump is a racist.

Long “Goodnights” Sono Una Fotografia On body, friendship, connection, and identity #ArtofSelfPortraiture

It is amazing and depressing how often Trump has ridden to Putin's aid since becoming President. Just some of his actions include: 1) Cutting off all US military and economic aid for Ukraine 2) Slow walking vital military sales to Ukraine 3) Rehabilitating Putin by inviting him to the USA .

I'm so tired of him. I'm tired of people pretending he's not an idiot. I'm tired of his lies. I'm tired of his sickening morality. I'm tired of his face, his his smirk. I'm tired of his inability to say even 1 thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate ever! I'm so tired of his ugly face.

So, according to republicans, the Patriot Front’s march is a first amendment issue, deserving of protection, but Colbert, Kimmel and the View should be censored!! Fight fascism and racism every single day in every single way!!

Trump landed at NATO demanding everyone buy American. NATO’s response? “Nah.” They handed a $4.5 BILLION surveillance plane contract to Sweden’s Saab instead of Boeing. Turns out bullying allies isn’t a great sales pitch. America First? #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AyoOvrjB-S8-...
