The desperate desire of Americans to protect their military is keeping them from admitting that what it is a force in decline--performing poorly, with high losses and little to show for it. The US military is being weakened in front of our eyes by corruption and incompetence.

If we were a rational society, we would be doing EVERYTHING possible to make child creation and child raising easy, joyful, safe and rewarding. We don’t do that. We do the opposite. We make it costly, risky, draining and scary. Soooooo… yeah. Birth rates go down. We know how to do incentives

Reading is my happy place. What are you reading? #TheMartinSheenPodcast 💙

We have to get rid of all the loopholes.

This is the tough job of the journalists. They are our only salvation with a corrupt liar as President and a bunch of complicit GOP Congress Members. Thank you Kristen!

If travelers from another world ever come to Earth, we will not need to wonder for long. But the universe is not arranged for our convenience. Its physics is unforgiving, its distances are nearly beyond comprehension, and together they suggest that such an arrival is profoundly unlikely.

Tuesday Afternoon News Updates: U.S. Apache Shot Down as War Escalates – 6/9/26 open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

NEW: As it schemes to get Trump's executive order attacking mail voting past legal challenges, the DOJ is shifting its approach to creating a national voter registration list. A new filing suggests the administration is now hoping to convince courts to give it more time to implement the order.

So… Iran, a country whose military we’ve “destroyed”, was able to shoot down one of our Apache helicopters, during a “ceasefire”, in the middle of a war that isn’t a war, which is “two days” away from ending?

The role of the Attorney General of the United States isn't being a hatchet man for the president. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/trump-nomi...

Blame the Republican Party, who laid down and let DOGE and Trump completely demolish the one solution we had to the screwworm plague.

Allow me to point out (remind) to everyone that Trump will do ANYTHING to win the Mid Terms. ANYTHING! We need to be prepared and working agaist him. Do not take a victory in the the Mid Terms for granted!

Already wrote about the GEO disgrace? Call and write again. Here’s another version. Huge issue requires repeated pressure

We pay taxes every paycheck. We were promised healthcare, retirement security, and a safety net for ourselves and our communities. Now Republicans are taking it back and giving it to billionaires. People deserve the benefits they pay taxes for. Period. #TrumpMakesUsSick

US ATTORNEY ESSAYLI: Is there enough fraud to sway an election? We don't know CUOMO: No ESSAYLI: You can't say 'no.' You haven't done an investigation CUOMO: I've covered elections for 30 years. You know how many cases of widespread fraud I covered? One! And it was the Trump administration

“White men are flocking to the church!” Uh, yeah, because it centers them and tells them that they’re better than everyone else, without having to put in any additional effort. Like, duh. 🙄

The maniac part is especially fitting.

#California #Elections #SpencerPratt #DV1 #ProudBlue 🚨 Stop scrolling! If you think election night ends at midnight, you’re doing MAGA math. 📉 Declaring victory early is like walking off the court at halftime because you're up by 7. Sit back down—there are still two full quarters left to count! 🏀👇

Media keeps saying there’s no evidence of “widespread” voter fraud in the 2020 election. But I don’t believe they have found enough evidence of fraud to overturn the results of even one of the 176k voting precincts in the US. So there’s just really no evidence of fraud.

BREAKING:UK opened a formal investigation into the Paramount-WBD merger! @democracydefendersfund.org filed in the UK calling for a probe If you like what the Ellisons have done to CBS you will love their control over CNN, movies& TV Trump's DOJ is gonna roll over but State AG's & Europe CAN act

Trump's proposed $2 billion fund to compensate Jan. 6 rioters inadvertently demolished every argument against Black reparations, given 265 years of enslavement, Tuskegee, redlining, COINTELPRO, and mass incarceration dwarfing anything the Capitol feces-smearers endured.

Wonderful pack - gratitude is all - thank you for including me

On International Friendship Day we celebrate those who #StandWithUkraine🇺🇦 We have been blessed to have so many good people by our side, supporting our country in various ways. To all the friends of Ukraine, we say thank you for showing us that true friendship has no borders🫂

It’s such a stupid time to be alive

There is one thing you can count on with trump. If it ain’t about him, he will shit all over it until it is about him.

This is the second video I’ve seen of military “training exercises” happening in civilian neighborhoods in CA. This was Long Beach. The other was in Pasadena. No notice to residents. It happened until the middle of the night. I don’t see news covering this. @gregfromvideo1 of IG

DeAdder is relentless. 💪🏼 #Platner

Fuck the UFC … and fuck Trump.

This man fled Texas for Cancun during the Big Freeze wherein 1000+ Texans died of exposure. He left his dog behind. When caught out doing this coward shit, he blamed his kids for wanting to leave.

Every year on June 8th,we celebrate World Oceans Day,an event that reminds us of the importance of the oceans.They are habitats for countless species.Oceans also play a crucial role in the global climate.Yet our oceans are threatened by overfishing, climate change and, above all,increasing pollution

This graph represents real lives. Every downward bar is a person losing their doctor and their medication. Republicans call this a budget, but it is actually a direct attack on the sick and the poor. #TrumpMakesUsSick

EXACTLY. 👍

I don't think people realize that every time some politician says that a vote is illegitimate or fraudulent, they're literally slandering the people who vote by telling everyone we cheat to vote. I have NEVER cheated to vote in my entire adult life. Not for ANY politician. Be insulted. It is one.

Huh. I just found out that my great-grandfather was the reason hog cholera left my hometown alone in the 1940s. He vaccinated thousands of pigs. In this house, we believe in science.

The news calling Simone Biles an NFL wife is the most small dick,misogynistic, flaccid penile dysfunctional energy ever. Grow up chode

This morning a car bomb destroyed a vehicle in Balashikha. The driver, who was killed, was apparently a lieutenant general in the russian armed forces. If confirmed he would be the 19th russian general the Ukrainians have killed since 2022.

The President of The United States is a 5yo learning to spell new words in between nap time.

Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed. This is BAD. bit.ly/4dQN5N2

We should all be calling him: Todd “Carte Blanche.” bit.ly/49LcYeP

⚠️ We now have the clearest signal yet that Trump is actively moving to implement his anti-voting executive order. A plan to create a federal voter citizenship verification system has been approved by the Trump administration, according to a court filing. Here's how that could impact your vote:

🇺🇸💰 $4.4 Million bucks it cost to send fat Don to the game for a nap. How many School lunches would that tax money buy? Meals on Wheels? Groceries? Medicine? Gasoline?
