I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation. George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

It is worth recalling that on March 16, 2022, approximately 600 civilians who were sheltering from the Russian army were killed there in a Russian airstrike. The word "Children" was written on the square in front of the theater, but this did not stop the attack.

PIERS: “You’re not gay?” FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.” P: “Should they vote?” F: “No.” PIERS: “They should stay home?” FUENTES: “Yeah.” PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?” FUENTES: “No.” PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally." The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

💯🎯 Couldn't agree more! Someone should tell Trump how he's being deceived by Putin but he would refuse to believe it. Being a stable genius and all.

Wow -- Russia reportedly plotted last year to plant bombs on US-bound flights (gift link) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

🔹there should be full accountability for Russia's crimes in Ukraine. 🔹next week will be a very important milestone: the European Union plans to join the creation of a "tribunal for Putin". 2/3

The European Union insists on accelerating the establishment of a Special Tribunal to investigate Russian crimes As the European Commissioner for Justice Michael McGrath stated: 1/3

OTD in 2021 General Gerasimov said Russia had no plans to invade Ukraine. So you can believe that we won't re-invade after we stop what we said we wouldn't start.

“You’ll get the hole from a bagel, not Ukraine,” said Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Sergiy Kyslytsya, addressing Russia at a Security Council meeting. “Our land and sovereignty are not for sale. This isn’t a Christmas market or some shady bazaar.”

We hated her for years and yet she was safe. The threats are from her own party, her own voters. Sorry, not sorry.

Trump said he’d release the September 2 video “no problem.” Now he denies ever saying it and blames reporters for “fake news.” Whenever Trump doesn’t like a question, he automatically attacks the press. Delegitimization of the free press is a key indicator we call out in our Assessment.

Heather Cox Richardson offers the most lucid explanation(s) of the way Trump and his cronies are taking a hammer to our beautiful America. Get her daily letter wherever you get your podcasts.

THANK YOU, CONGRESSMAN!

Sarah Matthews: "Mike Johnson is going to go down as the least effective and least productive speaker in U.S. history…Speaker Johnson has made Congress completely obsolete. He is just functioning basically as Trump's puppet."

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China. His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority." Trump and Lutnick need to answer to Congress on why they are selling out US security.

Trump is giving another $12 billion of taxpayer money to bail out farmers again from his disastrous policies. Just like he had to bail them out in his first term from his disastrous policies. But they will continue to vote Republican, as long as they keep getting their welfare checks.

RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW! RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW! RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW! RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW! RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW! RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW! RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW! RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW!

September 17, 2024.

It's not "free-market conservatism" when Trump uses government power to sabotage farmers' markets and then spends taxpayer money to bail them out, making them more dependent on the government. It's what dictators want: everyone dependent on their personal whims.

Peace talks between the US and Ukraine have stumbled over one main issue: how to force Ukraine to give up what the Kremlin has failed to seize during the war — the entirety of the Donbas region.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

BREAKING: Trump set to announce a $12 billion Socialist aid package for U.S. farmers after his idiotic tariffs forced many into financial hardship.

The cowardice is over the top.

. As FIFA makes up a prize for Trump being a good boy for an hour. Americans must find it embarrassing that the world now treats their President as they would an over indulged, petulant infant. .

OTD in 2021 your Prez said claims that Russia would invade Ukraine are a "provocation". Which is why you can believe we will stop what we said we would not even start.

Of course anyone with half a brain knew how this was going to end long ago: Walk away from Ukraine, walk away from NATO, blame Zelensky, lots of business deals between Trump, his cronies, and our new “friends” the murderous, corrupt, lying Russians.

Follow up: it doesn’t say it’s illegal to fire on incapacitated shipwrecked. It just says it’s illegal to fire on the shipwrecked. Where’d you get “incapacitated” and why are you such an asshole?

“If we allow Russia to come out of this conflict as a victor, we have all lost” - very important and timely words from Czech President Petr Pavel. The cost to stop a growing evil today will always be lower than the cost to stop it tomorrow. And not just in money.

🙏 In Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region, a local resident was returning from the funeral of his brother, who was killed by a Russian UAV. He heard the sound of the drone and managed to jump away at the last moment, but still suffered a broken leg and injuries from shrapnel.

In Kostiantynivka, a man leaving his brother’s funeral, killed by a Russian drone, was himself struck by an FPV. He suffered a broken leg and shrapnel wounds. Fighters from the "Predator" brigade heard the blast and his cries, rushed in, gave first aid and evacuated him. Russia's war on civilians.

"Let's declare Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas terrorists, and we'll find them in the toilet – we'll take them out in the toilet": Russian propagandist Solovyov openly threatens EU leaders.

Russian propagandist Armen Gasparyan openly called for the mass killing of Ukrainians, saying there’s “nothing wrong if some Halya dies in Chernihiv.” He described strikes on the Dnipro left bank as a “cleansing” and claimed civilians “deserve” it.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

Ukraine’s latest Magura V7 naval drone, a next-gen upgrade of the V5 developed by GUR, has been spotted armed with AIM-9L(M) Sidewinder missiles. This turns the sea drone into a platform capable of targeting not just ships, but also enemy drones, helicopters and even fighter jets.
