Breaking: US House approves Ukraine aid bill despite attempted block by Republican leadership #Ukraine

I'm old enough to remember when the White House wasn't the trashiest place in America.

"The Department of Justice (DOJ) plans to dismantle protections for trans and intersex people in federal, state, and local prisons, jails, and youth detention facilities"

Can States Mitigate the Damage From Trump’s New Medicaid Work Requirements? #TruthOut

Trump: "I should be a stock broker"

I second every sentiment James Carville makes here about Trump. We aren’t angry enough at what Trump and this administration is doing to our beloved country. Stay angry folks and get ready to vote in November, we have to turn out numbers too big to rig.

NEW: Huge corporations that have been exposed for cheating Americans are buddying up to Trump’s advisors – and Trump's advisors are letting them off scot free. But if you’re an American who got cheated? You get nothing. America’s Corporate Protector is right.

“I was only following orders” only gets you just so far.

He’s such a fucking jerk.

EXCLUSIVE: A top Polymarket executive sent hundreds of thousands of dollars — and likely more — to social media influencers from left to right. One influencer says Polymarket wrote posts for them to share on X and asked them to promote specific bets.

Last year, the National Endowment for the Arts imposed new restrictions on its grant applicants, penalizing artists who don’t agree with the president's political agenda. We sued, and won. The federal government is appealing, but we aren't backing down.

The Senate passed a bill in the middle of the night that gives ICE and CBP $70 billion to fund President Trump’s mass deportation campaign. They’re already sitting on an extra $100 billion.

"FIFA bans reusable water bottles from stadium due to safety concerns" Lmao, sure, that's why Definitely not ro ensure concession sales

How about we just go ahead and release the rest od the Epstein files as required by law

why is Hunter Biden — he of the freakishly ginormous trouser trout — social media's newest star? because he's righteously angry, and because he can laugh at himself. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I bring the receipts. link is here: bit.ly/4xaPzNL

Unearthed footage shows Elias Irizarry joining a mob to breach the US Capitol. Now, he’s been rewarded with a top counterterrorism job at the Pentagon. You literally cannot make this up. Apparently, invading a government building is great resume building for national security now. 🙄

Very clearly ICE has become so violent and lawless that it, as an agency, no longer is trusted. It is beyond reform. ICE will need to be closed and its officers and agents prosecuted for murder, kidnapping, and other felonies. A new way of seeing immigration has to be found.

House passes a bill to aid Ukraine and sanction Russia. The bill is mostly symbolic since it would still have to pass the Senate and be signed by Trump. We all know Trump has already lifted sanctions on his buddy Putin so it’s a no go. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AIZDzNdeASy2...

More Epstein Files… RELEASE THE FILES!

"One of the most popular and profitable grifts in the world of the religious right and MAGA is the production of propaganda to convince Christians that they are horribly discriminated against, or even oppressed, by the government and government funded entities." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

Trump officials planned to mark 2.7 million living people as dead, whistleblower claims wapo.st/4uOlIJt

Trump’s name went up on the Kennedy Center the day after the board voted to put it there. So what’s taking so long to take it down? 🚨 UPDATE: Attorneys have reportedly instructed staff to remove Trump’s name from signs, brochures, email signatures, and other materials by next Friday.

The Republican Senate whiffs on killing the slush fund. How can something this unsurprising still be so disappointing? That and more in today's Morning Shots (link in reply):

Convicted Felon Donald Trump is trying to kill us all. There's no money for healthcare, food assistance, housing, education, but plenty for his donors. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Ryan: "This amendment is straightforward. It would prohibit the president from using my constituents' tax dollars to continue waging his ill-conceived & unconstitutional war in Iran... 97 days in, our best case -- our best case, which we're still not able to achieve -- is a return to the status quo"

That said, the tables have flipped to Black MEN now experiencing an increase in unemployment since last year (5.2%➡️6.4%). That is more than a 1 PERCENTAGE POINT INCREASE! To put it in perspective: 420,000 fewer Black men are employed as compared to last May. #blacksky #jobsreport #jobsday

Still not winning yet.

Never judge any Republican by what they say they're going to do; judge them by how they vote. MAGAT Republicans just voted for Trump's Slush Fund to reward convicted treasonous felons with our taxpayer dollars for beating up police officers.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Solar is irrelevant in the winter" (this, dear reader, is false)

Russia has never agreed to a peace deal and Luna is either compromised or another MAGA useful idiot for Putin.

🇺🇦✉️ Sybiha: This open letter is a serious and meaningful proposal to end the war. Directly from President of Ukraine — to the President of Russian Federation. With clear, doable steps and an invitation for a personal meeting. We are also passing this letter officially through diplomatic channels.

Accountability is a thing that happens in other countries

He’s really focused on the issues that matter 🥰

🔴 Awww... The President of the United States is mad because CNN Reporter Kaitlan Collins won't smile at him. He feels rejected. Poor guy... Hopefully his emotional wounds will heal with time.

Trump acts like he built the fucking thing. The Reflecting Pool was built in 1922-1923, authorized by President Wilson. Trump is just coating it “American flag blue” at our expense. So is he gaslighting, or is he losing it? 🤔

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

youtu.be/KstSoBY-Ay4?... 🐍🐍 Scott Bessent, a pompous lying 🤥 arrogant SNOB! Scott Bessent will be held accountable for all his culpability for stripping the American people to normal and productive lives! Scott Bessent is a snake and deserves prison time!

under questioning from Rep. Meng, Rubio says the administration is rolling out the red carpet for Afrikaners because they "have a high likelihood of rapid assimilation." Meng points out that Afghanis in her district have already assimilated

I’m still not over how that power company told the community that they’d have to find a different company to provide their electricity because the data center would take too much of theirs. They didn’t tell the data center to find a different power company. They told the humans.

The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Israel killed at least eight people in southern Lebanon, including two children and their father. The strikes hit multiple villages

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum. And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat.

Yes!! Dumpy won’t be in charge if war powers any more!
