Really needy. But so many pathetic moments to choose from.

They are here on Bsky... @europeanjournalists.org 👍

Louisville ignored an enacted ordinance and was the only city in the country to capitulate to Trump administration demands, all for the stated purpose of avoiding ICE excesses. It doesn’t appear to be working. www.wdrb.com/news/i-was-s... www.wdrb.com/news/i-was-s...

The headline says it all:

“[Let’s] stuff the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” That’s from the guy who helped bring 400 tons of cocaine to the US who Trump pardoned. Trump pretends he wants to stop the drug trade, but frees from jail a former Honduran president & drug kingpin. www.americaamerica.news/p/president-...

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

Prominent right-wing figures are calling for the military to free Tina Peters, the Colorado election-denier-turned-MAGA-folk-hero who’s currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for her role in a 2021 voting system data breach, in a failed attempt to find voter fraud.

There is something very wrong with Megyn Kelly.

“How broken can a body politic be that a man so violent & broken could be elected twice by tens of millions of Americans? So much was knowable long ago about the hateful & vengeful character of this man who did not hide his demagogic attraction to violence.” www.americaamerica.news/p/hello-911-...

OOPS! PBS Reported — Bowes … asked Bish to investigate the mortgages of multiple people … asked Bish to serve as a source to a national news outlet he claimed was working on a negative story about mortgages held by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — ABC: Investigators being investigated

This is an amazing opinion. Congrats to @marcelias.bsky.social and his team!

— … there is no actual written request from Trump, the Defense Department, Homeland Security or the Attorney General. Neither was there anything submitted by Lee. The record also does not contain any written order, command, memorandum, or other writing by Governor Lee ordering the activation …” —

“This might be a big smokescreen, these investigations, to open a bunch of them as a last ditch effort to prevent the release of the #Epstein files.”

NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation. The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate. The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia. Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer. A banger from @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Shapiro www.propublica.org/article/andr...

So the occupant of our White House is cool with pedophilia and we’re just going to carry on like everything is normal?

Someone needs to get with the program.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

The ‘after trump’ plan? Tech bros & moneyed magas have worked on it since 2019. “You either have an extractive elite — an oligarchy — or you have a productive elite — an aristocracy — in every society” (Summary of WAPO article about the guys who want to run America forever as the new aristocracy.)

You don't want to scroll by this video 💯

NEW from @morganwatkins.lpm.org: Louisville Metro Police is investigating an officer’s use of its license plate reader database after her KyCIR report last week first revealed he listed an ICE-related keyword on over 100 searches.

Beaten at his own game 🤣

There is really nothing to say except there is no “Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago.

Dozing Donnie ignores healthcare. Prefers healthcare fraudsters “Trump pardons the husband of Republican supporter Rep. Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee” — Robert Harshbarger Jr. a licensed pharmacist in 2013 admitted substituting a cheaper unapproved Chinese drug for use by kidney dialysis patients

For those who like to brag the US is now more respected.

The man on the floor, a man DJT turned away from is a symbol of this administration.

Oops!

Democrats Flip Two Seats in Deep Red Mississippi, Break GOP Supermajority

There are lies & then there are damn lies that come back to bite you.

Remember the guy who said “they’ll get over it” ? (Mitch McConnell) Well, tonight proves The PEOPLE are not getting over it. The PEOPLE decided enough is enough.

— He was telling them, ‘Excuse me. Can you guys please, you know, please wrap this up.’ And immediately, the masked agent pulls out a gun and exchanges some words —

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means! Lots of fresh info in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2025...

What kind of government? Kristi Norem’s kind of America.

Pentagon officials admit they have no idea who exactly is on those boats they're blowing up, and that that's OK. It looks cool, right? Everyone should be rightfully terrified of the big bad United States, and just stay out of the ocean. www.rawstory.com/pentagon-boa...

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

It was never “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It was also a clear warning of what was to come.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Trump’s impossible third term is a desperate diversion from his cruelties youtu.be/eb4caGUwpZA?...

This is why the No Kings protests haven’t hit 3.5% — Only about 2 in 10 adults under 30 say the right to vote faces a “major” threat, compared with about 4 in 10 adults ages 60 and older. —

The back story & how long Larry was in jail unable to post $2M bond over a meme. (Yes, the TN sheriff still defend the arrest.)

Notable that Donnie described a 3rd term as “too cute”. IOW, overly clever, not realistic — while saying he’d love one. Now comes Mike Johnson. Maybe this is more about a lame duck keeping GOP ducks in line? Johnson (a Constitutional law expert) said it out loud today. NO Path.
