Oekraïne is begonnen met de uitrol van een eigen satellietnetwerk. De eerste twee satellieten bevinden zich al in een baan om de aarde, zegt Denis Sjtilerman (Fire Point). Volgend jaar zouden nog eens tientallen satellieten moeten volgen.

Our response to the White House 🤌

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

I love how when Democrats propose a relatively boring and novel legal theory, corporate media frames it as a FURIOUS AND DESPERATE FAR-FETCHED BANK SHOT, but when Trump tries some crazy shit like overturning birthright citizenship, it's something to consider seriously.

After randomly dropping crates of weapons into Iraq and expecting Iraqi Kurds to magically be the ground force for a war with Iran, Trump now claims the Kurds, whom he has repeatedly betrayed, “just take, take, take” and are disappointing for refusing to act as his mercenaries.

Donald Trump is nothing new in American life. He’s a direct descendant of the snake oil salesmen on the frontier- the kind you’d often see on Bonanza or Gunsmoke. The difference: those grifters were outed by episode’s end, not voted back into White House. Again. Still remarkable.

If Trump were innocent & the Epstein files would vindicate him, he would've released them years ago.If Trump is guilty & the Epstein files contain proof of his crimes, there's nothing he wouldn't do to prevent their full release...like start a war...or start another war...or threaten to use nukes...

Jack Smith is reportedly sending a message to President Donald Trump: even as he faces the prospect of prosecution, he still possesses weaponizable information that could damage the president.

Some Democrats and anti-MAGA Republicans think Marco Rubio would restore normalcy after Trump. Under no circumstance should any member of the Trump regime be allowed to stay in government, Marco is part of the regime, criminally aligned, and serves the same masters Trump does.

Happy Mother’s Day❣️

This is so very true, and we have to fight this with every fiber of our collective beings. We must ban together, and show these racist f…ks that we will not tolerate their antiquated and warped beliefs. Help spread the word and lets get this cleaned up starting this November

Maybe Trump's Evangelical supporters should read Exodus 32. God was harsh in his treatment of those who worshiped a golden idol. (Spoiler alert: In addition to smashing the first set of tablets, Moses ordered a whole bunch of smiting of those who chose a golden idol over God. Exodus 32:27)

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

I have been a vocal critic of gerrymandering. But the Supreme Court has unleashed the Republican Party on a gerrymandering spree. Democrats must respond in kind, removing any incentive for Republican states to gerrymander. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

Black political power is under attack, again Americans should stop pretending we aren’t seeing a retrenchment of racial power.

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

Not exactly inspiring confidence.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

Trump has criticized almost everyone - allies, opponents, institutions, his own people, even the Pope... With one exception: Putin. I wonder why?

FYI: It costs only about 3% of face value to buy a futures contract. That means that a $28 million investment paid over $125 million in profit in just 70 minutes. 500%+ in 70 minutes. That's why Trump makes he bogus announcements; so his buddies can reap illegal profits like that.

We are witnessing a historic collapse in the American reputation across the globe. The loss of ground over the last year is unprecedented, and it shows that influence is much harder to build than it is to destroy

Democrats need to tone down the political rhetoric?

I'm genuinely surprised. Alito, who is in charge of cases originating in the 5th Circuit, comprises (along with Thomas) the most partisan, anti-democracy, segment of the Supreme Court. Perhaps he decided the ruling against a safe, effective drug would hurt the GOP in fall elections.

Make no mistake, Alito will absolutely do a 180 after November. It's a complete juke. He's only *temporarily* allowing the reinstatement of mifepristone in an effort to not stir the hornets nest and thereby reduce Dem voter turnout.

Who is gonna tell him that no president has taken a cognitive test because no president has needed to take a cognitive test?
