"We don't go into journalism to be popular. It is our job to seek the truth and put constant pressure on our leaders until we get answers." -- Helen Thomas, who died #OTD 2013

Things that make you go hmmm…

There’s nothing going on behind the curtain.

Beyond absurd. A budget is a moral document.

Fucker just lifted sanctions.

Doncha just luv it when... A strong, beautiful, educated, professional black woman takes trump down...? I so totally do... smiling...

Voter suppression doesn’t beat organized people. Learn your state’s deadlines. Check your registration, then get your people to check theirs too. Volunteer with groups getting voters registered & trained as poll workers.Fighting back is a to-do list, not a mood. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies #USDemocracy

Well, this didn’t make me feel good. What the hell? Why aren’t they in jail?

THE ENTIRE TRUMP CRIME FAMILY HAS GLOBALLY MONETIZED THE PRESIDENCY

What an absolutely dumb human. He is dangerously dumb.

Trump's library reported $50 million to the government. His own filing says $63 million came in. Nobody can explain the gap. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/we-read-tr...

ICE killed two men on their way to work — Lorenzo Salgado in Houston, Johan Durán in Biddeford, Maine. Pope Leo XIV says the church cannot be silent on migrants. Houston's bishop got the memo. Portland's bishop managed two unsigned sentences that never mention ICE — and never posted them.

The FDA is now saying this finding "should be considered a false positive" after a re-review www.reuters.com/business/hea...

OK, let’s get serious. This isn’t Weekend at Bernie’s. Mitch McConnell has been missing from public view for more than a month. Kentucky effectively has one functioning U.S. senator, and a nobody trusts that staged photo. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #KYSpecialElection

Ponder that statement coming from the filth that was Jeffrey Epstein.

You might have to consider the possibility that Trump lied. I know, hard to believe that might be case.

Focus also on the way that Fox News isn't reporting any of this.

This is Helen Comperatore, whose husband, Corey, was killed in Butler. “I believe it was an inside job, inside the government somewhere.” Two years later, she’s still waiting for answers from the government while overlooking the most obvious explanation.

lmao Gianni looked like he was about to tackle Trump to get him out of the shot

Trump tried to celebrate with Spain and FIFA President Gianni had to run across the players stage and drag him out of frame. Can it get more embarrassing?

Trump looks terrible. A demented, lumbering oaf thinking the fans are cheering him and not those representatives of a country he recently insulted disgustingly.

A young man once handed me this book in the year 2012. It changed my life in ways I cannot even begin to explain. My first meeting was 13 years ago, And if I had never gone to that first meeting, I’d likely be dead today. The program of A.A. is a gift from the Gods. It will always continue.

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

tRump is going to take it one step too far, meddling in the midterm elections. He always takes things one step too far. This time, though, it's going to backfire bigly. The elections can't be rigged if 90% of the people in this country decide to kick this pedophile's ass into prison.

Thanks to Paxton & Abbott the TX economy lost out big time & so have Texans. Time for a regime change in Texas! #GinaHinojosaAndJamesTalaricoAllTheWay

So much winning: A US service member was killed today in Iraq, and more remains were found in Jordan. A source tells Washington Post the US stockpile of munitions is insufficient to safely sustain operations and “I don’t think the White House is aware of that.” wapo.st/4puMk0b

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney, delivers the Golden Glove trophy to Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón. PS: For those not aware, PM Carney was a Hockey goalie at Harvard University in the mid-1980s

The same people who want to sanction Canada for the wildfire smoke have killed federal regulations so they can load the atmosphere with deadly pollutants while cutting cancer research and reducing access to healthcare.

Can hear the booing despite them playing the music really loudly to drown it out.

There’s something so wrong with everyone in this administration. www.theverge.com/policy/96144...

Australian broadcaster on hot mic after Trump crashes Spain’s World Cup trophy presentation: “They’re gonna edit him out of that”

Accurate.

Just one more thing. If Mitch is fine and recuperating why is there only one suspiciously staged picture of him? Did the iPhone run out of film?

#Parents should NEVER make their #kids feel: -like a mistake (unwanted) -like they're not good enough -unloved -they do everything wrong -stupid & failures Etc. Parents should NEVER make their kids feel like they have no value or are disowned Every #child deserves mentally healthy parents & #love

The ridiculous music isn’t drowning out the boos.
