Everywhere he goes he causes problems.

Trump’s advisors told him he was going to be booed mercilessly, so he isn’t going this year and he’s canceling the F-22 flyover too.

I couldn’t even imagine my commanding officer pressuring me to go see a movie about the president’s wife while serving in the Marines. But this is Pete Hegseth’s DOD, where partisan politics continues to be pushed on troops who just want to do their jobs while serving America.

Ted is shocked to discover that rules he enjoyed no longer enjoy him.

Has anyone seen Howard Lutnick since the last Epstein drop showed he lied about everything?

hooooboy. Everyone needs to give their local CPC MP a kiss on the mouth for letting MP Poilievre continue to lead their failing party.

VA Senate president responds to Ted crying about VA’s redistricting, which should add 4 new Dem seats.

So far it has been revealed that the WH Faith Director advisor is pushing group sales of Melania tickets to her email lists, a GOP Rep seeking Trump’s endorsement is buying them in bulk and giving them to primary voters, and military commanders are pressuring troops to buy tickets.

NBC is editing out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post just laid off 300 journalists. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Farmers in the U.S. have grown cannabis since the 1600s — but policymakers are still figuring out how to regulate two famous types of Cannabis sativa. A historian calls the plant "incredibly cryptic."

so funny to see republicans complaining about this as if they have not been pulling this shit for 15 years.

LIVE NOW on-the-ground in Minneapolis after another person was killed by federal agents.

BREAKING: Mark Carney Broke Trump open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

ICE agent: "We're gonna come back for your whole family, okay?"

🚨Reports incoming that federal agents have shot and killed another person near Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. Multiple shots fired. “It was an execution,” witness tells us.

we actually need to band together and let the dems know we will never donate another cent or vote for the party again if a single member of the party votes to give a single cent to ice ever again

This has happened in Maine also. The Feds just leave cars on the side of the road or even in the road with nobody in them in the dead of winter.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

Don't give WestJet any ideas. #cdnpoli

Well, look at that. Another country’s visiting China for the first time in nearly a decade. 🤡 www.scmp.com/news/china/d...

You'll need to beg harder than that. We just have to wait for this walking corpse to be gone. #cdnpoli

Ironically, one person who “stayed behind the front lines” while serving overseas was JD Vance.

Nice essay on Trump’s notion of what a “deal” really is: a series of “pledges, frameworks .. shakedowns, memoranda of understanding, or otherwise opaque, informal, or incomplete arrangements” that allow him “to claim a quick victory and move on to the next thing.” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

So has anyone who reported that Trump made a deal on Greenland seen anything specific in writing yet?
