The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

This is an important piece by @greggnunziata.bsky.social and I hope it gets the attention it deserves. As I’ve said recently, I disagree with Nunziata about a great deal, and I disagree with plenty in this piece too, unsurprisingly. But I firmly believe our common ground is what matters now.

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

Trump will pardon him.

US Senator Alex Padilla being dragged out of Kristi Noem’s press conference today when he showed up to ask her questions.

There was no immigration crisis when Trump was sworn in, no economic crisis when Trump was sworn in, no trade crisis when Trump was sworn in. Any “crises” happening now are all of HIS making. All singlehandedly bcuz of HIM. All bcuz of HIS cruelty, incompetence, and ignorance.

As always. ProPublica gets the story.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Vanilla ISIS and Y’all-Qaeda need to sit the fuck down with the Civil War fantasies. Only a handful of you could run down the street without an inhaler, and you want to be deputized to go help ICE? Clown shit.

whoops! 😂

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

Poor white supremacist Matt Walsh is upset he can't use the N-word. Guess the little snowflake needs a hug. Guess he wants Trump to Make The N-word Cool Again? FUCK YOU, MATT. You're the scum that is dragging us down into the bowels of hell.

All Of This! The Constitution Says This Is Illegal!

Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery. That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax? Nope. Corruption.

It’s bad enough that they are punishing people for taking a stand against what was found beyond a reasonable doubt by both state and federal courts to be criminally excessive police violence. But to take the time and effort *five years later* to identify and punish them is downright sick.

DONALD TRUMP SINGLE-HANDEDLY DROVE THE ECONOMY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTO A RECESSION IN JUST THREE MONTHS.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the richest 0.1% of taxpayers would see a more than $180,000 gain in income. The lowest-income taxpayers, meanwhile, would see a $1,125 LOSS. That’s on top of deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It’s trickle-down economics on steroids.

According to Kash Patel’s own financial disclosure statement, he pocketed $25,000 from a production company operated by a filmmaker associated with a Kremlin-subsidized propaganda project, a pro-Putin oligarch, and a pro-Kremlin disinformation agent. @davidcorn.bsky.social's NEW video explains:

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The GOP keeps calling itself as a working-class party. But their budget plan calls for huge tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and slashing programs that help the working-class. Don't fall for their rebrand.

Sharing a post from Nandita Bose, Reuters White House Correspondent. Once again press freedom is under attack at the White House.

Everyone understand my sign now?

So, actually, it always was Russia.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

The world’s most dangerous ‘game.’

Good morning!

Living nightmare every day for two weeks! 😵‍💫

Every dollar of federal spending now requires the personal approval of the president, who believes he ordered the military invasion of California yesterday, to “turn on” a gigantic water tap he claims controls all the water in Los Angeles. I pledge allegiance to the man, woman, person, TV, camera.
