Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution. Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The U.S. "peace plan" for the Russia-Ukraine war, negotiated by special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, is designed to benefit U.S. business interests—including those of Trump's associates—and is overly favorable to Russia's demands, thus potentially harming Ukraine's sovereignty.

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

We won’t forget the Epstein files….

This is what really happened yesterday….

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

The entire democratic world is in danger with recent US National Security Strategy. Countries in Europe, Asia & the Americas must denounce this document and start to organize alternative structures of mutual defence & security! Thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Jamil Jivani is looking to create Canada’s own “Turning Point”, and was the originator of the petition to end temporary foreign workers in Canada. Sounds like JD Vance’s bestie is working to create his own Charlie Kirk style campaign agitation on Canadian university campuses. #cdnpoli #Canada

Ontario’s education minister is hiring two advisors at $1,500 a day to review why EQAO results aren’t improving. Critics say the answer is obvious: “we don’t need people making $1,500 a day to tell us scores are down because the government cut funding by $1,500 a student.” #cdnpoli

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented. ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”. Why is ICE harassing women?

So many scandals now but pay attention to this: DOJ has sued 14 states-12 led by Dems-to demand full unredacted voter files in order to turbocharge Trump voter suppression plans @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social & I detail threat this poses to voting rights ahead of 2026 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Without data to support their decision & defying warnings from doctors, medical associations, & public-health groups, a federal advisory panel stocked with loyalists to Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voted to stop recommending a life-saving vaccine to infants at birth”

Sadly, the rogue, MAGA 6 SCOTUS, have sovereign immunity for corrupt actions ruled in their capacity. No class action lawsuits by citizens can be filed against them. Citizens can at least file a formal complaint with a circuit judicial council for SCOTUS misconduct & mental harm caused.

Minutes after Minnesota House Speaker and GOP gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth (R) refused to condemn President Donald Trump's anti-Somali hate speech, Senate Majority Leader @epmurphymn.bsky.social (DFL) starts off her speech by condemning it.

Has any proof been presented that the Venezuelan boats that were bombed were transporting illegal drugs? Let’s see the receipts.

Koh: I think what we are seeing is what the founding fathers feared the most, which is the collapse of our checks and balances. The Supreme court is supposed to be a co-equal branch of government. It's basically a mouthpiece for Donald Trump at this point.

Ritual humiliation is a MAGA fetish.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

Dozy Don is just listening attentively like he the did the other day in the Dear Leader cabinet meeting. KKKaroline Leavitt told us that was the case. She would lie to us would she? I even have photo proof how attentively he listens below. 🤣

Behold the greatest economy in the history of the world

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... A federal judge late Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from making widespread immigration arrests in the nation's capital without warrants or probable cause that the person is an imminent flight risk.

We can't really say this enough... > Anastasia Berg [at UCL Irvine] said that new research — and what she's hearing directly from colleagues across various industries — shows that employees who heavily rely on AI are losing core skills at a startling rate. www.businessinsider.com/ai-tools-are...

The Auditor General is sounding the alarm: over 2 million Ontarians still don’t have a family doctor — and Doug Ford has no plan to fix it. Instead, the's opened the door to privatization with no safeguards to protect patients.

Our current medical establishment were over partisan actors for years. They stoked anger and rage about any effort to limit covid, radicalizing many. They appealed to emotions and anger under the ruse of being neutral scientists. Walker is right about their covid myths.

White House astonished as Pete Hegseth reads Franklin book all by himself

Rich Lowry is a bigoted piece of shit whose existence makes America a worse place. He's vapid patrician gentility used to mask gutter racism. He's a Brooks Brothers pocket square used to wipe Nick Fuentes' ass.

“The New York Times, and the left, and Democrats… all they do is take one incident and yell ‘war criminal.’” -Hegseth in a 2024 interview With his history of contempt for the Geneva Conventions and the rules of engagement, it’s shocking Pete even cares. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Was Pete Hegseth day drinking when he ordered to kill the two survivors in the water after a US Missile struck a small fishing boat in the Caribbean? Or was he hiding evidence so no one alive could talk?

Whether it's Donald Trump murdering the survivors aboard a sinking boat or Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference, both presidents engaged in some truly norm-busting behavior.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.” They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

"But it isn’t just Trump. His second term has made clear that there was no shortage of people waiting to put his ugliest impulses into action not despite what they themselves believe, but because of it." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

This is what happens when you have the least qualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history.
