MiGs breached Polish & Estonian airspace, NATO Article 4 is triggered & Trump's play: Signal a glidepath for Putin right into Europe. He was happy selling Patriots to Europe for Ukraine the day he got back from his Alaska getaway with his bff. TACOed again? www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Well worth a look, if you’re in New Hampshire…

Donald Trump: The “Un” president

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

I don’t know how ICE agents sleep at night, but this right here is absolutely heartless! They detained two parents and their 22-year-old son outside Chicago while the family was on their way to celebrate their 10-year-old’s birthday.

There is no Constitutional prohibition against taking a $50,000 cash bribe, so it's hard to see what kind of law Tom Homan might have broken. by Jonathan Turley

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

Here's a weird thing. I've been blocked by someone and all I said was "Hello."

Insane

He allegedly accepted the money ***in cash*** "On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case and sources."

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

BREAKING: Trump's border czar Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

When fascists say “jump” the only viable response is “fuck off,” every time. Not “you need to understand each congressional district is a unique situation.” Fuck that. Do the right things always.

This and everyone of them that signed on to this has to go too👇🏾

“They’re going to threaten me with violence if I oppose racism and misogyny” “Yes, ok, and? It’s your fucking job.”

We have now learned something important to know about this Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. Dolan’s faith is counterfeit, and he’s a giant asshole.

Acosta was reportedly told that Epstein "belongs to intelligence" and to stand down. Was he really told that? By whom? That's what we need to find out today. Very interesting that this is a closed-door hearing... gift link: wapo.st/3Vpo41r

Reminder tomorrow Venus is in a super conjunction with the slivery Waning Crescent Moon. From the UK they can be observed as an occultation from around 12.30pm BST. Be careful of the Sun! 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography

Spot on. The First Amendment in on death watch right now. Ht @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

On Friday the Moon and Venus have a super colossal conjunction, as seen from the UK, culminating in an occultation. 🔭 🧪

when democrats pushed for tiktok to be shut down it was one of the dumbest own goals in the history of us politics www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

"Some men improve the world only by leaving it." ~ Oscar Wilde

My favorite Robert Redford movie. Peak 1970s perfection.

people have already mentioned SNEAKERs, THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR and of course ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN as great redford performances, let me recommend THE CANDIDATE, which is really one of the best movies ever made about american politics

Slightly random question for bigger history brains than me. Did the Government Code and Cypher School ever have a nickname during its time operating under that moniker? I can't imagine Dilly and co. were calling it that on a day-to-day basis. It doesn't even trip off the tongue as an acronym.

She’s been on the right for years.

SCHIFF just asked who made the decision to waive Ghislaine Maxwell's sex offender status. Patel says the Bureau of Prisons made the call. Even though the Bureau of Prisons has NEVER ONCE in HISTORY waived someone's sex offender status to move them to a minimum security camp.

How else would you describe a 'health insurance' company – and the CEO who runs it – that decides who lives and who dies other than a terrorist and a terrorist organization?

This past Sunday, Brad and I celebrated 17 years of marriage together. That’s 6,209 days of love, laughter, and levity through it all. Happy Anniversary, Bradder! Here’s to many more.

Anyone who manages to f-up a Burberry trench is in a class without a peer. Presenting Melania Trump, the person who always does the unthinkable, and this time she’s f-ing up a Burberry trench.

“Suicide” (using broken limbs); the 2025 police designation for lynchings😶

... ... ... ... yes, Marc. I can imagine people on the right like Kirk doing it. Because they absolutely did.

Rip. Good human being.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

From the AP. Is speaking truthfully about a demagogue really "disparaging" him?

REMINDER: GOP stands for Guardians of Pedophiles. That is the message from the fact that ONLY 4 of 219 House Republicans agreed to sign petition to release the Epstein files. And all of this is because Trump demanded it.

Perfectly stated

The dominoes are falling…. Our economy is screwed.

A redditor who says they are a hotel worker in Japan, has written advice for tourists on using luggage forwarding services. One surprise is the statement that such services are mainly used by foreign visitors, because that never used to be the case. www.reddit.com/r/JapanTrave...

Tomorrow morning the Waning Crescent Moon will appear close to Jupiter with Castor and Pollux. Look east from 2am. On Friday the Moon will occult Venus from the UK. Tricky to observe because of the Sun. Careful telescope observation required from around 12.30pm. 🔭 🧪

Spot on. This👇🏾

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Brian Kilmeade would have never stated his genocidal beliefs in such an open and flippant manner if the entire culture at Fox News didn't also fully endorse the same genocidal beliefs.
