Wow! Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup. Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.” (Source: Reuters)

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

As a result of sweeping cuts by Western nations, aid groups and health officials say they lacked the staff, surveillance systems and emergency supplies needed to quickly detect early infections or contain the Ebola virus as cases surged in recent days.

VIRGINIA SUPREME COURT REJECTS CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING VOTE: A big deal, story coming shortly from @virginiamercury.com.

Oh yeah, that'll teach him

This is the most 2026 headline I have seen.

Even Fox News is getting sick of the Biden deflection.

They call me whatever names they want. I will never stop fighting for the right to vote and against voter suppression.

The usual method is now underway: starve the public trust, declare it broken, then hand it to friends of profit and call the transaction wisdom. A forest in common offends every speculator, because it cannot yet be billed, fenced, or sold.

We need your help. The Trump administration is dismantling the U.S. Forest Service. 193 million acres of public land (bigger than Texas) is being handed over to political operatives and industry insiders.

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

First shoe to drop On left: CENTCOM refutes claim that a video shows a U.S. missile (PrSM) in media reports (NYT & BBC) of a U.S. strike on a sports hall/school in Lamerd, Iran. On right: BBC comes back with SIX weapons experts. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The $1.5 trillion military budget request from Trump today is an obscenity. The defense budget in 2024 was $841 billion.

So inspiring

Rafael Cruz was born in Alberta, Canada. His father was Cuban-born. Because his mother was a US citizen, he acquired US citizenship at birth under American law, even though born in Canada. He renounced his Canadian citizenship only after it became public for his political career.

BREAKING: Iran President Pezeshkian releases a lengthy public letter addressed to the American people ahead of Trump's address, defending its actions, denying it poses a threat, and blaming the U.S. for escalating conflict—while warning that continued attacks will deepen instability and resentment.

"No president can decide to withdraw from NATO without Senate approval." —Marco Rubio in 2023 "It's the president's decision if we stay in NATO." —Marco Rubio in 2026

Good. At least our entire Senate and House haven't sold out to Putin. NATO is indeed the most successful military alliance in history, and we'd be fools to quit.

Trump on Cuba: "It may be a friendly takeover. It may not be a friendly takeover. It wouldn't matter."

BERMAN: GDP growth was higher during the Biden administration than certainly it was last quarter and the average of year to year BYRON DONALDS: That's not true, but okay BERMAN: You can go check it

During Trump 1.0 a victim came forward alledging Epstein trafficked her to Trump who sexually assaulted her as a teenager The FBI found her credible enough that they interviewed her 4x Now in Trump 2.0, those files have been secreted away as part of Trump's Epstein cover-up

Precisely. He’s not as clueless as he looks.

FOX NEWS: Are we going to war? THUNE: I think the president is preparing us to defend America's vital national security interests. We cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran.

Reporter: You said Trump's speech is a joke. Why? First-time voter: Just the pure unseriousness. "Oh yeah, America's winning." But like, where? Where are we winning? People here have been murdered. Representatives have been murdered. People protesting at ICE protests have been arrested

BREAKING MS NOW: @lawofruby reports DOJ directed reviewers to flag FBI interview memos before it produced the latest Epstein files. That follows MS NOW reporting that DOJ appears to have withheld memos on three interviews with a woman who accused Epstein and Trump of assault.

Not once, not twice but FOUR times the FBI interviewed her. It’s almost like there is a conspiracy, a coverup, blatant attempts to let this fucking narcissistic asshole get away with yet another crime.

Oh, they "expected something like this to happen," just not to them. If you don't want "inhumane" things to happen to your family, maybe don't vote for the people promising to do inhumane things to anybody. www.postandcourier.com/columbia/new...

From Bad Bunny's #SuperBowl halftime performance.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

After latest release country should move on to Epstein trials.

Everyone who supports this should be shunned and shamed from now until eternity.

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

If you work for ICE or Border Patrol and have information about unlawful conduct taking place at your agency, please speak up. House Judiciary Dems want to hear from you. America needs to know about crimes committed in our name. As a whistleblower, you can share anonymously:

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

it's a truly staggering measure of this country's profound cowardice that so many people are afraid of this pathetic loser

The extent to which residents of Minneapolis are more civic, courageous, and patriotic than business elites, conservative luminaries, and Republican members of Congress, is really, really striking. It’s a lesson not to be forgotten. It’s one that would not have surprised Hubert Humphrey.

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

Stella Carlson is a face painter & children's entertainer. She's also an American hero. If you can, watch the entire CNN segment. It made me cry to see such a courageous & eloquent patriot. Do your part: Call Congress & tell them to ABOLISH ICE! 19% of even Republicans agree. 202-224-3121

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Fred Trump had dementia and his family set up a fake office so he could think he was in charge while other people made the decisions. Mentioning this for no particular reason at all. Not even sure what made me think of it.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Arrests calmly ongoing. This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

People ask "why is it just those same 4 officers who keep speaking out" I'd imagine because this how some of my former "coworkers" feel about me 🤷🏽‍♂️

Senile Satan flew back last night. He backed down from seizing Greenland and was snubbed by key allies during his multibillion dollar “peace” grift. Back home, he fired off more than 70 posts in under 50 minutes and he’s still going. 🥴
