Ukraine will win.

You may be unfair and rude to trump but if you lost a war with Iran you’d want to shove billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars into your and your friends pockets too

Key excerpt from the court hearing in Chicago “Broadview 6” case. Worth a read. For a federal prosecutor, this is shocking misconduct. They are destroying our beloved DOJ.

Polis may be the dumbest person in politics. Even worse than Fetterman.

Trump’s propagandists are trying to spin Colbert’s firing as a business decision. But Trump has made it crystal clear this was a personal vendetta. His apologists refuse to admit Trump campaigns for the removal of hosts he hates and, for the most part, TV networks are complying.

Meth futures rise on anticipation of payouts to January 6th felons.

We wanted to understand conservative ideas about traditional nuclear families. So we talked to a conservative ketamine addict who has 20 kids by 12 different women.

I am not kidding about making a cabinet-level position for tearing Trump’s name off everything in this country you write this shit into a movie script before Trump came on the scene and you get laughed out of the room

DeTrumpification is as necessary a project to the US as DeNazification was to Germany. Everything removed from everywhere, including every person in the Trump party from every elected and appointed position of public trust, with all appropriate investigations, charges, and trials.

Good morning, fellow lower value human capital www.bbc.com/news/article...

The country exists as an ATM for Trump.

Trump’s deal with Iran includes him giving them $25 billion. But…but.. but…… Obama! (I never heard of this FundAnything.com scam before).

Our tax dollars shouldn’t be spent on enriching insurrectionists. Our tax dollars shouldn’t be going to Trump golf resorts. Or paying for a ballroom bunker. Dont pay taxes.

Kyiv right now ‼️ Fuck russia!

He’s having a big weekend. Just look at the range of his activities so far!

When I graduated from Amherst College 25(!) years ago, I never would’ve dreamed that I’d come back as a trustee. One of the *many* reasons it’s such an honor is the chance to celebrate with each graduating class at Commencement. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!! May you enlighten the earth!

It’s BECAUSE it’s opaque that’s it’s wrong. No faith that Trump will do anything fair with it and it’s likely he’ll pay insurrectionists to keep them available when they shouldn’t have been pardoned in the first place

The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index fell sharply to a new all-time low in May, at 44.8, from 49.8 in April. It plunged to levels not seen in data collected consistently since the late 1970s.

I'd also be fine with Kilmar Abrego Garcia getting all the money.
