Trump is pushing a Ukraine peace plan favorable to Russia. But whose plan is it? Sen. Angus King says Secretary of State Marco Rubio told senators the plan was a “wish list of the Russians.” Sen. Mike Rounds says the plan “looked more like it was written in Russian to begin with.”

What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

When bad things happen during Democratic presidencies, MAGA blames the Democrats. And when bad things happen during Republican presidencies, MAGA blames the Democrats. It’s the best of all worlds for shady politicians: All the power, none of the responsibility.

Far right getting whiplash

Todd Blanche tried to justify giving Maxwell special treatment and privileges because of her supposed “cooperation.”

The DHS blamed immigrants for a number of problems known to be caused by outside economic factors.

Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi: "Try as much as you can to save democracy and freedom of the press and speech in America. Do not be a copy of a Middle East dictatorship. We look to you as a role model of Western civilization—please maintain it."

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

NEW: This is one hell of an opening paragraph from Jim Comey's attorneys in his motion to get the grand jury materials in the case against him.

Despicable open.substack.com/pub/steady/p... Great read from Dan Rather: "...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..." #BlueCrew #MisogynistInChief

Mike Johnson really is a giant asshole, isn’t he?

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Crow: "What he's trying to do is use fear and intimidation and threats to silence opposition. And if he's successful in doing that, we are all lost. I'm not going to allow him to do it. I'm going to stand up and I'm going to lead, and I'm going to do what's necessary to uphold the Constitution."

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

New MRI, please.

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

That the richest man in the world is determined to jam fascist misinformation into mainstream discourse is an emergency. I don't know how else we can talk about it. www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-mu...

BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein looked to be running a KGB-style blackmail operation, according to Tara Palmeri.

A fascinating aspect of this is how much the anti-trans panic is about displacing fears that are far more real: of male coaches who abuse female athletes. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: The DOJ and FBI are withholding a “treasure trove” of information related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to victim attorney Sigrid McCawley.

Trump follows up this post by calling for these Democratic lawmakers to be put to death

Trump is now calling for the executions of Democratic veterans who reminded the military of their duty to disobey “ILLEGAL” orders.

Trump calls for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

Corruption at every level of government. Inconvenient truths are eradicated.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Instead of considering whether the super-rich really need a tax cut, the Trump regime is considering whether poor people really need to eat.

Day 1 of the bill on Trump’s desk and already there’s excuses.

Trump has clearly manifested himself as human garbage every hour of every day for 10 years. So while, yes, it's gratifying that more people seem to be finally noticing, a little, maybe, two questions come to mind: 1. What the fuck took you so long? 2. What are you going to do about it now?

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

“Will you release all the files within 30 days?” BONDI: “We’ll continue to follow the law.”🤔 “You said no addition investigation was warranted. What changed?” BONDI: “Information.” 🙃

This $4 billion industry profits off of America’s school shooting epidemic. “Every time there is a shooting, we see an uptick in business,” says one, featured in the new HBO documentary Thoughts and Prayers. Read Julianne McShane's full Q&A with the filmmakers here: http://bit.ly/43CZte2

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

Yesterday Trump said Saudi leader Mohammed bin Salman, who approved the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, was “highly respected.” Here are other people Trump has said are “respected”: Xi Jinping Vladimir Putin Jerry Falwell Jr. Jair Bolsonaro Jill Stein Judge Aileen Cannon 🧵 1/

Epstein survivor Haley Robson refutes Mike Johnson: "The survivors that don't want to be public are Jane Does. They've been protected and their names have been redacted the whole time ... I don't care if my name is redacted is not."

BREAKING: Epstein survivors say they don’t care whether their names are redacted, they want the full Epstein files released as-is, with every perpetrator exposed, per CNN.

We’ve got reality TV in the White House and reality TV journalism and I’m so tired

A Republican congresswoman downplayed Trump’s viral “piggy” insult, saying it showed he was willing to “dare to do things others do not dare to do.”
