JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

Tomorrow we are joined by the co-author of Virginia Giuffre's book and her family. In a powerful interview we hear the voices who helped share her tragic story at the hands of Epstein and Maxwell. Catch it on YouTube tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLincolnProject

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Tom Nichols, Jon Stewart, etc in 2024: "it's too early to call them fascists" Trump regime in 2025: "it is now illegal terrorism to call us fascists" Funny how the time window on that worked

"Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down." @carolleonnig.bsky.social and @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social report for MSNBC: www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Light the fuse, then cry about the explosion. Classic MAGA.

This is CNN, a channel I really enjoy when I'm in the US. I wonder if American journalists are aware of how completely insane they look to the rest of the world. How utterly detached their narrative is from everyone else's. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/19/p...

It’s basically the OPPOSITE of intellectual curiosity. And they’re clueless enough to be proud of that.

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

🚨Republicans say they’re targeting just criminals and gang members. Bullsh*t. 📌They’re targeting anyone who “looks illegal,” and it’s only going to get worse. 📌They need to make their 3,000 a day quota no matter what. NO ONE IS SAFE IN AMERICA—we have to protect one another. #MAGAKidnappers

DESPICABLE: Trump erased Medgar Evers — a war veteran, a civil rights icon — from Arlington’s website honoring Black soldiers. And now the Pentagon might scrub his name from a Navy ship. This isn’t “preparedness”—this is historical whitewashing. The coward’s way to erase Black resistance.

This passage of the Hegseth hearing is essential viewing. What a dim bulb this man is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fup...

I don’t think it’s a particularly American tradition to give the benefit of the doubt to military leaders articulating the rules of engagement for their deployment on civilian streets in peacetime.

Whoa, how did I miss this thing of beauty that is #AlGore 's speech on the glaring screaming obviousness of the atrocity of fascism in every single way that #Trump admin is.

With the BET Awards happening in downtown LA, I was wondering who was going to say something first. Doechii really is that girl.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Adjusted for era, these are surely the most powerful morons in world history

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

MAHA

Damn.

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

“They are mean and stupid”

😂😂😂 Remember when SOS Hillary Clinton committed the horrific crime of using a private server to send NON-CONFIDENTIAL emails? Right now a private billionaire is apparently collecting and soon controlling ALL of the data in the United States treasury.

I just deactivated and deleted Threads. I admit I’m intolerant of fascism appeasement.
