The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I miss when I could ignore politics to a certain extent bc the federal govt wasn't doing some asinine thing on the daily that actively kills/subjugates it's citizens I miss when we at least thought we had power within our govt If only people hadn't totally ignored politics & voted by pretty colors

For a man that regrew his ear it’s strange that his hand is always in recovery mode

As the American economy continues to decline and the US becomes more isolated, Trump and his regime are becoming more and more unhinged in their cruelty toward the most vulnerable and marginalized.

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering. Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed. At least two suspects are in custody.

🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.” *THIS IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH*

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats. But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

An Army gynecologist has been charged with secretly recording more than 40 of his patients at Fort Hood in Texas, military prosecutors said on Tuesday, as members of Congress expressed concerns that the Army was slow to stop his misconduct.

Ok A.I. nailed this one, credit where it’s due www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

Rewatched some Star Trek tonight. Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human. Every episode says the same thing in its own way: ‘Be curious. Be brave. …Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

America will *never* again be a trusted partner. 😞

We're bringing in trillions in foreign investments.... All to ourselves.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

I didn't think it would happen, but RFK Jr has convinced me that he knows his stuff. I think his expertise should be used exclusively and without deviation in determining all the healthcare for the president.

There is no clearer justification for the video put out by 6 Democrats to not follow unlawful orders than this.

“You knew damn well I was a snake…”

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

Outstanding reporting today from the New Media at the Pentagon.

⚡️Projections starting to come in calling it for Van Epps 🤖 , despite a huge, very respectable overperformance from Aftyn Behn that speaks volumes about the stiff, angry winds Republicans face the coming midterms. #TN7

Lindsey Graham says the Pope better get on the “right side of history” and support Trump’s push to use military force to overthrow the government of Venezuela

Sadly relevant today.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

A leaked 115 page report by current & former FBI personnel describes the bureau under Kash Patel as a “rudderless ship” & says he is “in over his head,” lacking the experience & bearing needed to be an effective FBI director—

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached. Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at? Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Steve Bannon is what happens when a pile of dirty laundry reads "The Art of War.”

Dear Senator Cassidy, “We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name. Best, Your Former Congressional Colleague

Never a drag queen

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

The type of things that happen when a foolish reality TV actor appoints a petty, drunk talk show chatterbox to run our military:

"If your country opens a Department of War and closes the Department of Education then you live in a shithole." -𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝟿𝟾%

A reminder that Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine came from Russia going back to 2016. From the Mueller Report:

🔥🔥🔥 A 3 alarm fire for House Republicans following Marjorie Taylor Greene’s announced resignation, courtesy of @punchbowlnews.bsky.social:

The government’s own court reporter says the grand jury was literally released before they could have voted on the indictment… and somehow we’re all supposed to pretend the math adds up? This isn’t “procedural confusion.”

60 Minutes just reminded us that Putin is a war criminal and all I could think of while watching that is remembering how our president embraced him like a hero. It’s disgusting how far we have fallen.

OMG! Gavin Newsom's social media team is next level. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Donald Trump is out with another unhinged attack on Ukraine as he pressures President Zelensky to accept his “Peace plan,” which amounts to Ukrainian capitulation: “Ukraine leadership has expressed zero gratitude for our efforts.”

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

For the last time, people, "Epstein" is the name of the criminal. The president is "Epstein's monster."

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...
