He wants a war as an excuse to stop elections, idea hatched during this conversation with Zelenskyy m.youtube.com/shorts/bvUBt...

They’re going to go to war without congressional approval while congress isn’t in session. This is why they’re having every NG in every state prepared for civil unrest in January. This is why Johnson said January reopen of congress at the earliest. We’re paying attention.

The Republican Representatives in the House and Senate are responsible for everything this regime is doing. These men and women, on ANY given day, could end this. It would only take 8 of them to vote with Democrats to impeach. They’re not hostages — they are the tyrants propping up the regime.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

In remarks to a private audience in 2023, Russell Vought, who is Trump’s budget chief and the intellectual force behind Trump’s unprecedented power grab, said he championed the term “invasion” because it “unlocked” extraordinary presidential powers. (Published May) By @mtredden.bsky.social

More than a dozen Epstein survivors, along with the family of Virginia Guiffre, send a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson demanding he call the House back into session and swear in Adelita Grijalva. @jimacosta.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

This is fucking amazing

There's a "better" picture: bsky.app/profile/stev... And this is not a happy marriage quote: "JD Vance says he's raising his children Christian, and he hopes his agnostic wife, Usha, comes around to the Christian faith"

China Agrees To Purchase 11 U.S. Soybeans

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

There are no naval shipyards in Philadelphia. None.

I hear “AI is making people stupid” and that may be true, but ChatGPT will not tell you this if you ask it about the moon landing.

I was just (kinda) joking when I said Vance would try to marry Erika Kirk and dump Usha to become President. Apparently...

These accomplishments happened in 2024, before Trump was President. Also, I doubt he wrote this because I don't think he knows how to spell quantum, much less explain the concept.

I don't like the Carpetbagger, but, I agree she should have walked out on your interview. 3 minutes is more than you deserved.

It’s a sign of the times that the people who funded the WelcomePAC report that’s telling Democrats they are “out of touch” with ordinary Americans are mostly billionaires, hedge fund managers, VCs, and corporate execs.

Here is DHS making false allegations about @katmabu.bsky.social. Read the affidavit and show me where it alleges that she assaulted anyone. Spoiler: it doesn't. The conspiracy charge / title of the statute is throwing people off / leading to a lot of bad faith attacks.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The first, and surely not the last.

«Texas judges who decline to perform a wedding ceremony based on a “sincerely held religious belief” do not violate the state’s rules on judicial impartiality, according to…the Texas Supreme Court» This will go to SCOTUS where the MAGA members are chomping at the bit to overturn Obergefell.

Stephen Miller & Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently joined a growing list of Trump Cabinet secretaries and advisers who’ve chosen to live in reserved military housing, with Rubio moving onto “Generals Row” in Fort McNair and Miller also living in the area after abandoning his digs in Arlington.

Republicans refuse to use the fund that was set aside for food benefits in the case of a shutdown. Republicans can pass emergency legislation now. But they won't come back to work. apple.news/A1Mtf-qhZQVq...

Italian Senator Carlo Calenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and someone who repeats Russian propaganda narratives. I believe this is exactly how public accountability should work - when a liar is called a liar.

"Do you know who my führer is?"

Pathetic is right.

How sexual perversion flourishes in the American church. Pastor is arrested for abuse or child p0rn. Apologizes, says, “I sinned.” Says, “forgive me.” Says, “send me money.” Rinse. Repeat. Christians continue to act righteous in their melting pot of deviance and evil.

The comet could be older than our solar system. The comet is also distinct because nickel vapor was detected in the gas surrounding it. n.pr/4hABBNT

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

16 million children. 8 million seniors. 4 million people with disabilities. 1.2 million veterans. That’s who relies on SNAP for nutritious food. That’s who’s being hurt by Republicans refusing to pay benefits in November.

I don't like microsoft wanting me to ditch my computer because it isn't compatible with Windows 11 (and they don't want to support Windows 10 anymore). I think this is driven by greed and is irresponsible to our planet. We can't keep junking hardware so often. www.pcmag.com/how-to/heres...

James Comey files a new motion to dismiss his case: Ted Cruz's questions here are "fundamentally ambiguous," and Comey's answers are "literally true." Cruz's "imprecise compound questions" focus on Andy McCabe, whom this case isn't about. Full brief storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Senate passed a resolution Thursday that would undo many of President Donald Trump’s tariffs around the globe, the latest note of displeasure at his trade tactics in Washington that came just as the president celebrated his negotiations with China as a success. https://to.pbs.org/4qBxmFY

Privatizing the Federal Government and Destroying America for the Broligarchy America is officially for sale to the highest foreign country & private investor as Donald Trump treats the White House as his personal ATM to enrich his family & the broligarchy. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” - Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

From Detroit to Houghton, Michiganders are saying the same thing: It shouldn't be this hard to get by.

NY Times reports that Donald Trump often jokes in private about him being both the speaker and the president, because of how OBEDIENT "Grinder Mike Johnson" is. ~ I agree with Trump.

Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness. Remember this.

“You better check your citizenship papers” Wild - when she wasn’t throwing around unhinged antisemitism claims she was threatening to have her husband denaturalize & deport @cenkuygur Stephen & Katie Miller are perfect for each other

This story is absolutely WILD. Alejandro Juarez, who was previously fired from the Trump Golf Club in 2019 after a story turned up that he was undocumented and working there, ended up deported to Mexico earlier this year by mistake — he was put on the wrong plane and deported without a hearing.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

NEW: Trump has announced that the US will admit the lowest level of refugees ever at 7,500 in FY 2026. The US will only be admitting as refugees White people from South Africa and "victims of illegal or unjust discrimination," which leaked memos suggest means far-right Europeans.
