JUST IN: Brazil’s top court sentences former President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and 3 months in prison over his attempted coup

Maybe putting a podcaster and a Mar-a-Lago groupie in charge of the FBI wasn’t the best plan.

“He looked like my puppy when I got home from work. Jumping excited, I bet if you check his diaper, he even peed himself with excitement.” What an #embarrassment #Pinks #ProudBlue

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The incompetence of this administration is stunning. Two days after the floods in Texas, FEMA failed to answer two-thirds of incoming calls. Contractors were laid off on July 5th, and Kristi Noem didn’t renew their contracts until five days later. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...

Kristi Noem must resign now.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

RFK Jr., the foolish kook splashing about in raw sewage, is in charge of protecting our health. These are monumentally stupid times we are living in.

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

$400 million "palace in the sky" private jets for him. No toys for you.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

The Faces of Gun Violence exhibit at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) headquarters showed the portraits of 120 people killed in gun violence in the U.S.

“This is the new model, where you work in these kind of plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here." - Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (the same man who said you shouldn't complain of you miss a social security check)

Marriott for the win.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Democracy withers in a climate of fear. This is where we are. Universities, law firms, politicians, and journalists are bowing to the regime.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Who else AGREES with Robert?! 🤚

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

There is a 7-hour time difference between DC and Moscow. He was invited at 11:44 AM on Thursday DC time. That was 6:44 PM in Moscow. He saw Putin at 8:00 PM according to Sky News and Russians. He left Moscow at 2:00 AM. He may have actually been sitting in the Kremlin even when he joined. (2/2)

Measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2000 by the World Health Organization due to the success of vaccination efforts. It's back and now in 18 states? Why? Anti-vaxxers.

A billionaire member of Trump's Cabinet, on a podcast with his billionaire friends, just said that you shouldn't complain if they cut off your Social Security checks.

Trump just handed $1.6T in student loans to a downsizing SBA and dumped special needs programs into RFK Jr.’s HHS. No plan, no legal authority, no staff. 43 million borrowers and millions of vulnerable kids are now stuck in a political stunt.

Someone said republicans are the mass shooters and democrats are the Uvaldi police and I cant stop thinking about that.

It's nearly impossible to describe their completely unhinged plans for the country without sounding completely unhinged.

Just in case you forgot, Musk spent at least $250 million to get Trump elected.

This is not an exaggeration. This is exactly what is happening.

No. None of them can tell you why.

Biden spent four years pulling our economy out of a dumpster fire and improving our name on the world stage and Trump just wrecked all that in a month.🤬

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

The Gulf of Brian Adams!

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

They won’t ever learn will they
