Isn’t he supposed to be in Rome, GA in like… 2 hours?

Once again I'm asking Democrats to take their messaging cues from the sitting Democratic Senator who is the most vulnerable for re-election in 2026

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Ossoff will make an awesome POTUS one day, but he must retain his Senate seat this November - the midterms are indeed, "The Whole Ballgame."

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Didn’t know when I woke up that today is Falling Dominoes Day: the South Korean former leader who led an insurrection; Prince Andrew; former White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler….

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

This is a fantastic article. People lend the movement, and because of live-streaming we all got to see.

He left out, “…but only if it involves sending guys with guns. We definitely aren’t going to send FEMA to help with their natural disasters, release funds to build things that create jobs, support education or food programs, send more doctors to their VA hospitals, or award any grants for anything.”

The US position, the premise of the White House's statements, is that Ukraine doesn't have agency, Ukrainians are wrong to do a version of "give me liberty or give me death," Ukraine's president doesn't speak for them, and America's goal is make them surrender. Which is basically Russia's position.

He does say “allegations”— but he’s not wrong. They’re very disturbing allegations. The kind that need investigating. Seems like Lieu is trying to make the point that Donald Trump is lying when he says he’s been “totally exonerated”.

Democrats should suggest passing a national Civics test, or the naturalization test, to register to vote. Not because we mean it, but because if Republicans actually followed through on it… they’d lose their voter base.

it's really striking how the most pronounced effect appears in shifting perceptions of zelensky

“Big Brother Needs You 🫵”

“Homeland”? Isn’t that a tv show?

Axios is reporting today that a US-Israel war against Iran is “imminent”. I’m sure the timing of his investment has nothing to do with that.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

I have a sneaky suspicion this isn’t normal.

The Constitution is currently being interpreted by the Epstein Class at SCOTUS.

That these idiots can’t shut up is why Jared Kushner is The Heir Apparent:

“We were at the top of the Ponzi scheme of banking, but we didn’t own the bank. So we decided to be the top of the Ponzi scheme that is crypto AND we get to own the bank!”

CALL IT LIKE IT IS!!! republikkkans are the THE EPSTEIN CLASS ... OF MORBIDLY RICH PEDOPHILES “We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It is the wealthiest Cabinet ever! This is THE EPSTEIN CLASS.” ~ Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA)

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional. You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔 Nothing to see here, folks! We are being looted so hard by these crooks

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

“Truly, whoever can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” -Voltaire

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election." He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING." There is a big difference.

There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations. The establishment wants us to not focus on this.

Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

Yeah, I mean our IRA is doing ok… but some of us have decades before we’ll be tapping into it. What about rising daily living costs TODAY, Peter? The cash-in/cash-out ratio fucking sucks.

That’s a long answer from Homan that coulda just been “YES”.

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations. But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips. No compromise.

“Electing the right leaders”

We’ve cancelled Disney, Paramount, about to do Prime and Audible. Looking into alternatives for AT&T and Lowe’s/Home Depot. I’d do ChatGPT and Uber except we’ve never used those. www.resistandunsubscribe.com

This is what Trump and the Epstein Class don’t understand. It’s the same thing Louis XIV and French nobility didn’t understand, and Charles III, and all the failed dictators across the globe… There’s more of us than them, and they’re entirely replaceable once we decide they are.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Just saving this here for his trial.

Breaking WSJ: The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
