Trump turned on Leo and threw him under the bus in one of his tantrums. Typical Trump. They are throwing Hegseth under the bus too. Let’s see how redacted this SignalGate report is. wpde.com/news/nation-...

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal. You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government. It says it right in the Constitution.

Shhh! Grampy's taking the Z-train to Snoozeville.

I think this was a fun YouTube love @samseder.bsky.social youtu.be/YArT4F4RTOw?...

“The Logan Act bars private citizens from engaging in negotiations with foreign governments without authorization. Kushner is acting in an authorized capacity, under Trump’s direction, and that creates a host of legal issues.” www.justice.gov/olc/media/13...

Amazon Billionaire-owned newspaper tries to convince Americans higher prices are good, actually Amazing stuff @washingtonpost.com , never change

Barbarians bragging of the war crimes they intend to commit, yet again. Maybe Witless or Kushner can explain why they praise the bosses of these criminals? Maybe they could explain why they accuse Ukraine, the victim of this aggression and these war crimes, of being against peace?

The russian neo-Nazi unit 'Rusich' has once again exposed the deep rot within the russian armed forces. Apparently famous russian 'traditional values' include calling for the rape of prisoners of war.

Russia attacked Ternivka in Dnipropetrovsk region, killing two men, aged 43 and 50. Three more wounded: a 65‑year‑old man and woman in serious condition, and an 18‑year‑old boy moderately injured. A private house was partially destroyed, six more damaged.

i think this is the first time i’ve seen the “even though they lost they actually won” headline construction used for democrats

People often ask why Democrats don’t have something like TurningPoint USA — we do. It’s Voters of Tomorrow. We’re on campuses across the country, organizing over 10,000 Gen Z members to engage our generation. Can you chip in before midnight to help us win? 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/votho...

Pete Hegseth must be investigated, removed and criminally charged.

Why would MAGA boycott Costco for trying to go to court to ensure their business model to provide lower prices to consumers? Make it make sense. 😂 MAGA Turns On Costco After Retail Giant Hauls Trump To Court Over 'Unconstitutional Tariffs' www.ibtimes.co.uk/maga-turns-c...

In russia, the Druzhba oil pipeline was blown up again💥 It happened on the first night of winter, along the Taganrog–Lipetsk section of the pipeline, reported several Ukrainian media citing sources in Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence.

"Young Republicans chapter plans to host far-right German leader after ‘I love Hitler’ chat. If you think after Trump is gone the GOP will become less racist/dangerous, you are kidding yourselves. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Trump has been quietly targeting the Democratic infrastructure with his DOJ going after Act Blue, Indivisible and others. Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election right in front of us. We need Democrats--esp AGs-to take steps now to stop this! My Daily Dean youtu.be/tbtBQaDwvxs?...

RFK Jr.’s HHS sent out a survey asking employees to report instances of anti-Christian bias during the Biden administration, and the Dept. of Labor announced its inaugural prayer service. These are just the latest instances of Trump’s extreme white Evangelical Christian creep.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Reporter: Putin was threatening Europe with war again. What would be your message for him today after these threats? Rutte: Oh, I'm not going to react to everything Putin is saying... This is the correct approach to a bully who tries to frighten the world into obedience.

and it appears to be their only growth strategy

Buddy, I gotta tell you, if I was a GOP representative, my ass would not feel comfortable watching a 15-point swing in a deeply red district ahead of a midterm where the President has been behaving erratically while consistently growing more historically unpopular.

A $164,000 bill for public records is a good indicator that the government is hiding something. These tactics don't silence reporters, they tell them to keep digging.

"Here are a bunch of unarmed people with baby formula on a ship, and then there’s this elite navy who are just armed to the fucking teeth ... there to intercept us." I wrote in @jacobinmag.bsky.social about @freedom.press' recent panel with 3 U.S. journalists who were aboard the Gaza aid flotillas.

NEW — RFK Jr.’s HHS sent out a survey asking employees to report instances of anti-Christian bias during the Biden administration, and the Dept. of Labor announced its inaugural prayer service. These are just the latest instances of Trump’s extreme Christian creep within the federal government.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

And as a local, it is my duty to tell you that "Last Train to Clarksville" isn't actually about Clarksville. The songwriter saw a sign for Clarkdale in some other state and decided Clarksville sounded better.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military. That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.

A Democratic win in TN-7 is a long shot, but not impossible. This is a district that was created when they gerrymandered the state to take away the Democratic seat in Nashville, and it was one Trump won by 22 points a year ago. If the GOP squeaks by with say 5-7 points, that's a red alarm.

I'm not always mature.

Watching the TN-7 returns live… Let’s go Aftyn!!!

The biggest anti-Christian bias I've seen is these weirdos looking for anti-Christian bias. They want to be marginalized so bad.

Nativity photo from Seattle.

look however shitty your day has been or however bad your night is going just take comfort in knowing you’re not mike johnson

I think a narrow R win is likely here, but that would be a result that should and will spark massive panic among House Republicans and probably kill the gerrymandering push in most red states.

The stakes are that whoever brings him to orgasm gets a pardon.

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit to stop all Texas public schools from displaying the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. Judges have blocked our prior plaintiffs' schools from enforcing a Texas law mandating these unconstitutional displays. We're asking the courts to block it statewide.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

I mean I’m reading coverage of the immigration crackdown, attacks on all Afghans, and even the Somalis catching strays. But not much context calling this white nationalism. Please. Tell the whole story. This isn’t even my beat but at least I’m trying! 🤦🏾‍♀️ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/16/o...

NEW: A federal judge has once again blocked the Trump admin from enforcing a budget law provision "defunding" Planned Parenthood—this time in response to suit from 22 states and Washington DC. HOWEVER judge pauses injunction for 7 days to allow HHS to appeal storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jeez now days they even remake Andy Warhol films.

Hearing massive turnout in the college precinct in Davidson County, Tennessee (which voted +27.4 for Kamala Harris). So high that it has exceeded 2024 turnout. If you know ANY young people in Tennessee, tell them to get out there, vote, and stay in line.

The boat bombings also expose the lie that this sociopathic ideal of manhood is somehow more "rational" than empathy. On the contrary, Pete Hegseth is giving strong Colonel Kurtz madman vibes.
