This isn't true. It barely registers. Trump is obsessed with it, a large chunk of congressional Rs are parroting that even though they know it'll never pass, and the terminally online weirdos on the Rhodesia superfan's website talk it up. But there's no mass popular demand for it among GOP voters.

🚨🚨Dire warning by Polish PM @donald-tusk.bsky.social suggesting a potential #Polexit from the EU is now a “real threat,” accusing nationalist President Karol #Nawrocki and right-wing opposition parties of steering the country toward leaving the bloc. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/dona...

It's the authenticity that draws viewers.

Trump Begs Other Countries to Help Him Clean Up His Mess in Iran Donald Trump is trying to convince foreign nations to step in to secure the Strait of Hormuz.

Follow the money.

Trump is trying to smear news outlets as "unpatriotic" for scrutinizing the Iran war. But most Americans see through that type of ugly rhetoric. We know that baseless attempts to deter and discredit wartime reporting by questioning journalists' patriotism are as old as war coverage itself.

Trump once did a deal with oligarchs allegedly linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard

Israeli soldiers fired on a car carrying a family in the northern West Bank, killing four people including two children, the Palestinian Authority’s Health Ministry says. Israel’s military and police said in a joint statement that the shooting was under investigation.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Many of the older Americans from the baby boomer generation that watch Fox News all day long very much believe the talking points on Fox News, and they've spent decades of their lives convinced that fighting these wars is the right thing to do"

3,800 workers at JBS's plant in Greeley, one of the largest meatpacking plants in the US, have officially gone on strike.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Moscow is giving Iran specific advice on drone tactics to hit US and Gulf nation targets in the Middle East, source tells CNN. https://cnn.it/4sCIm64

This is a shocking report. Staff at food banks have told GMB that some users are now so desperate, they're ripping open food parcels to eat as soon as they get them. In the last year, Trussell has distributed more than 2.5 million emergency packages

The reported push to move some air defense missile batteries from the Korean Peninsula to the Middle East comes amid concerns about America’s munition stockpiles amid the Iran War.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and other top Republicans say the U.S. should not be involved in nation-building in Iran, a day after President Trump called the operation there “the beginning of building a new country.”

Great quotes in military history. @atrupar.com

PEDOrump's PERSONAL DOJ IS PROTECTING THEIR PEDOPHILE ... PROTECTING MANY PEDOPHILES!!!! Documents detailing FBI interviews with a Jeffrey Epstein victim who accused PEDOrump of SEXUALLY ABUSING HER WHEN SHE WAS 13 are being kept under wraps 🤬🤬🤬 MORE THAN THREE DOZEN PAGES REMAIN MISSING!!!!

The infamous 737, which features a queen-sized bed and bar, that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski reportedly traveled together on, is still screwing over American taxpayers

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

The cult of Donald Trump is so deep that they can only view the death of U.S. service members as a negative story for Trump.

As @timothypmurphy.bsky.social wrote in his most recent piece on the seminary student, Talarico's "faith-based appeal to unity" contrasts sharply with Crockett's more "Old Testament exchanges" with Republicans. If Talarico wants to win, he has "to prove that he can throw a punch."

If Rep. James Talarico's name sounds familiar, it's because of he was one of the Texas Democrats who fled the state to protest the GOP's mid-decade redistricting plan. @timothypmurphy.bsky.social caught up with Talarico while he was on the lam last year.

If you're not paying attention to the Texas Senate primary, you should be. It could decide the fate of the Democratic Party. It's between two Democratic rising stars who couldn't be more different than each other: Reps. James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett. 1/3 🧵

I like both Crockett and Talarico

Rep. Jasmine Crockett says she believes that they will not know the election results tonight after the Texas Supreme Court ordered all votes cast by voters who were not in line to vote in Dallas County before 7 p.m. to be separated from the rest of the day’s votes.

The OBBB ensured millions will lose life-saving health care and food assistance because we needed to “cut waste. Remember that now that Trump is said to be seeking emergency military funding because a trillion dollars’ worth of missiles wasn’t enough

I need to stress something here: The US destroying Iran’s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler. I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Unemployment in the UK is set to peak this year at a higher rate than previously estimated, with a “worrying” increase in young people being out of work, the government’s official forecaster has said www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

NBC News projects state Rep. Steve Toth defeated Crenshaw, who was the only GOP House member running for re-election in Texas who didn't have Trump's endorsement.

And there it is …

Instead of asking for emergency funding for the military, since the US military is already funded higher than any military, why don’t we send Pete Hegseth overseas to lecture everyone about “FAFO” and “DEI”? It seems the only ones FAFO-ing are him & MAGA, the ultimate “DEI’S”
