Trump on foreign wars. June 2024 "I got out of these wars because I'm a big believer, I want to spend our money in our country doing our country's great things." April 2026 "We have to take care of one thing military protection. We have to guard the country."

Fifield is the only source (named or unnamed) for the most explosive claims in the story. If she has any proof about what Platner allegedly told her re his tattoo, it wasn't cited. Meanwhile, the women who say they had no problems with Platner rate barely a passing mention. It was a hit, NYT style.

I'm not defending his intelligence or his taste in romantic partners. But you know, James Carville married one. The heart (and/or other body parts) wants what it wants. Doesn't change the fact that the NYT story was a set up.

He’s a longtime Trump and GOP pollster but also one of the very best in the nation; I am aware who he did poll for but if Tony Fabrizio is saying the race is tied rn between Collins and platner well, it’s probably close to tied rn

Had President Obama told a world leader to hold off on attacking another country and then told the press "I call all the shots" only to have that world leader launch the attack a few hours later...**stops to catch breath**...I imagine Fox News would, to this day, be raging angrily about it.

Couldn’t see Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social from where I’m standing, but not at all ashamed to admit I got teary as he addressed the crowd at Queens Pride right here in my home nabe of Jackson Heights. Tish James, Donovan Richards, and Melinda Katz, too.

The White House octagon sounds like something a screenwriter cuts for being too unrealistic.

Everyone remembers this, bro. You have to make your lies believable.

A small minority of loud assholes convinced themselves that they are the silent majority, and they scream "voter fraud" every time the ACTUAL silent majority casts their votes.

The ages of those shot ranged from 14 to 61. Brazil is football on the sand. Argentina, Maradona’s hand. Germany, an oompah band. America is a gun. — Brian Bilston abcnews.com/US/multiple-...

Day 3 of chaos after Ukrainian drone attacks in the Sochi airport. Thousands of Russians stuck since Friday; airport worked only 8 minutes. At least 39 arrivals and 37 departures delayed, 17 flights canceled.

They told us nearly a year ago that they “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuke program and then a few months later they said Iran was weeks away from a bomb. Then they told us Iran’s military was completely wiped out months ago but they keep attacking people.

What a proud day for men’s tennis. What I’ve learned over the years is that a man credibly reported for horrific interpersonal violence can redeem himself by winning at the top echelon of a sport. You love to see it. Good times all around.

Want some good news? Just found out the SAVE act died again in the Senate. It was close, but your pushbacks and your calling and your rage worked. They wouldn't be working overtime to silence all of us if it didn't matter. Keep fighting, keep resisting. 💪

'at Holy Family Catholic primary school in west London teachers are also barred from using laptops, monitors or tablets during the school’s screen-free Mondays, after an idea that came from the pupils themselves.'

Anyone who watched that man throw a hissy fit and walk out of the interview and still thinks women are too emotional to lead needs their head checked.

Americans are burning through their savings and inflation is at the highest level it’s been in three years. This is not what a healthy economy looks like. #TrumpSlump www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

Yes.

REP. @aoc.bsky.social on Trump going to the Knicks game even though fans don’t want him there: “It has already been a vibe killer, because now MSG has to shut down the watch parties… sometimes you decide not to go to things so other people can enjoy it.”

Watching people who have never seen the reflecting pool in person argue about it with people who actually live in DC is wild. But it’s not a cult

That was quite the tantrum by Trump on Meet the Press. Welker gave him a chance to provide some evidence for his stolen election claims, and instead he threw a massive fit and called the interview.

Pathetic. Iran is going to read this as tacit approval to do whatever they want. Trump’s desperation is making us look weak AF.

This is a dangerous geopolitical gamble for Trump. Iran has seen that he wants a deal so badly that he’s unwilling to defend the gulf states. The next logical step was to see if he was also unwilling to defend Israel. Now he’s clearly negotiating from a place of desperation.

Dear ABC and @espn.com, Please don't edit out the boos Monday night at MSG. ~ All of us

Trump: I call the shots, Netanyahu doesn’t call the shots. Trump: don’t attack Iran tonight Israel: so anyway we’re gonna bomb Iran Now he looks even more pathetic. Our allies don’t respect him, our enemies don’t respect him.

Kimmel joked, “You’d think Trump would be rooting for the Spurs. It’s what got him out of Vietnam" - a reference to the diapered Don's planned attendance at Game 3 of the Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals tomorrow.

JUST IN: Progressive Nithya Raman will advance to the general election and face incumbent Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race, according to Decision Desk HQ projections. It’s over for former reality TV villain Spencer Pratt.

Our job in 2026 is the same as it would have been in 1939—not to be "Good Germans" in the face of obvious fascism, racism, wicked cruelty.

Where's Melania? How come the press gives her a pass? & did Baron drop out of college? They wouldn’t leave the Dems alone if reversed.

Will we ever be able to shut down the concentration camps? Babies from pregnant teens in custody are missing, a great G-ma was held for 10 months! What can we do as citizens???

The Charlotte Clymer piece is good, goes through ALL of the info that has come out charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/thoughts-o...

I’m mostly thankful that I’m not a Maine voter at this point. Platner is a shitshow. But Susan Collins has done irreparable damage to our nation with her dithering and her ‘concern’ This is unfortunately going to be a vote of the least bad option, and Platner will at least hold Trump accountable.

It’s dead…ish. The slush fund was never the point - it was the immunity from investigation and audit for Trump. The slush fund was just a happy grifting opportunity. That said, if people quit paying attention, they will 100% try to bring it back because they want to grift.

Some companies are reportedly already running short on diesel. I don’t know if we’ll run out, but I’m really concerned about where this goes. Strategic reserves is now at its lowest point since the 80s. They’re pumping millions of barrels a week into the supply to try to sustain prices.

Finding out Susan Collins was a homewrecker that slept with a married man whose wife was dying of cancer, then convinced him to leave the wife and marry her was not on my bingo card.

Probably. Still almost certainly better than Susan ‘Concerned’ Collins, though.

I got several ‘holy shit he looks dead’ text messages from the most recent unconscious-in-the-Oval photo. Everyone I’ve spoken with assumes he had another medical event, but the White House is so far keeping a lid on everything.

No, it’s not bad. I get it. The thing that bums me out is that the government has been planning massive 250th celebrations for a long time now (years). It was supposed to be bipartisan and a win for the entire country. Instead it’s turned into another Trump rally and UFC on the South Lawn.

She's branching out on her own grift

There were 62 candidates on the CA primary ballot. Xavier Becerra will advance. That GOP ass, Hilton, will advance (boo, hiss). Steyer won't. I don't hate him, as many do, but did not vote for him. The Oath Keeper AH Bianco won't. The other 58 candidates won't. calmatters.org/politics/202...
