Gang of Pedophiles. I never imagined I would live in a country where it is legal to RAPE children. That is what the GOP has turned this country into. Absorb that America and call your senator.

Melvin Council played out of his mind! Unbelievable performance. Great win! RCJH! #Kubball #Kansas #Jayhawks

Way to go #LindseyVonn. Colorado is so proud and amazed by you! ⛷️

Exactly. I have not and will not stop pointing out his abuses every day.

Before the retaliation comes, I would just like to announce to all foreign border agents that my social media history for the last 8 years primarily consists of posts saying Trump is a corrupt degenerate psychopath. Also, I support the ICC. Thanks for your attention. #EU #Mexico #Canada #UK

I have no words for this idiocy.

Senator Ruben Gallego has introduced Senate legislation to outlaw surveillance pricing. Surveillance pricing is yet another way for corporations to pull one over on you. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain the dangers of this shady practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8

NVIDIA chips are used by the U.S. military for defense research, sensor processing, robotics, and DARPA projects that depend on high performance AI. And now the White House wants to hand that tech to China to fix the soybean crisis their own tariff war created.

Just like the Nazis.

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

Sen. Mark Kelly: “He’s trying to silence me, but he’s not silencing me. I will do my job every single day whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I’m not going to shut up.” Neither are we, sir! #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

There is no reason to be polite or decorous about this any more. The current Supreme Court is corrupt. US democracy cannot survive unless it is reformed.

WTAF!

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

The absolute gaslighting bullshit that comes out of his mouth is a sight to behold.

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

Imagine becoming an admiral only to end up serving life at Leavenworth, stripped of rank, a pension and all honor for a 34 count convicted felon and draft dodger. The only title left to your name is mass murderer. And he will deserve all of it.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Steve Witkoff works for Russia. Jared Kushner works for Russia. Donald Trump works for Russia. We hold these truths to be self-evident. AF.

Everyone saw this coming. Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH. And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

What is painfully obvious in these moments isn't simply that the person alleging to lead this country is a terrible human being; it is that anyone left still defending him, applauding him, justifying him, celebrating him, probably is too. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-good-pe...

This is why 6 Democrats made the video on illegal orders. This is extra-judicial murder. Hegseth and the members of Seal Team 6 that carried it out should be tried in a court of law for murder. We are not in a declared war and the people on the boat are not combatants.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Most average working Americans abide by laws and norms. Most are kind and decent. But there is growing rot at the top of our system. And its stench can no longer be ignored. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-732

Senator Mark Kelly is an American Hero. Fuck Trump and Whiskey Pete. Everyone - military and civilian - needs to speak up on his behalf and for everyone in uniform. Do Not Follow Illegal Orders. Do Not Cave to Fascists. #Resist

this is such a vibe

The vicious cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers. 3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

Trump’s Ukraine peace plan is under fire from both parties. Senators McConnell, Wicker, and Shaheen call it a Putin-friendly surrender. Rep. Fitzpatrick moves to vote on Russia sanctions. Pro-Ukraine rallies are planned across the US this weekend.

Americans support #Ukraine! Call your member of Congress and tell them to stand up to the Russian asset in the White House! (202) 224-3121.

You are being financially raped and bankrupted because this country’s voters have little grasp of history or economics. STEM doesn’t teach Americans how they have become slaves to oligarchs, corporations and congressional corruption. Social science does.

Apparently, many Democrats and Republicans in Congress needs courses in history, political science and economics.

Hey Congress- anyone at work? Is capitulating to Russia what people voted for? No, it’s fucking not. Absolutely disgraceful members of Congress are not on TV 24/7 pushing back on this disgraceful and stupid insanity. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... “I woke up this morning, I’m in bed, my wife comes out of the bathroom – she’s got her phone. She goes, ‘Um, Trump tweeted you should be fired again.’ I was like, ‘Oh,’ and then I went downstairs and made bagels for the kids. Trump is a snowflake.”

Listen to Bailey and Elizabeth.

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts. He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company. He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy. Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.
