Trump says he'll leave Iran in 2 weeks - exactly when the healthcare plan will roll out? Wait... (Didn't Obama get excoriated for even hinting at a time frame for exiting Afghanistan?). He is the dumbest commander in chief ever (not just U.S.)

Thank you Arielle.

If you put any stock in anything track AIPAC has to say, please read this article from @thebulwark.com it is a masterpiece www.thebulwark.com/p/track-aipa...

italy misses the world cup with a humiliating crashout in the penalty shootout and I think the olympics bonus they've been riding all year has finally run out after their WBC run

Donald Trump is about to sign an executive order limiting mail-in voting today. After he voted by mail in last week’s special election in Florida. 🙄

Can't suffer a strategic defeat...if you have no strategy.

Praise be.

The piss tank on the ISS is now 44% full.

It's. Not. Going. To. Be. A. Presidential. Library. Let's stop talking about it that way. There's no indication the foundation is working with NARA to make it a government library. There's every indication it's simply going to be a private foundation building, probably with a propaganda museum.

Is anyone doing proper news coverage of the impact of 50% loss of fertilizer in the world?

Firing Kristi Noem doesn’t mean Trump should be able to get away with a case of amnesia over everything that happened in Minneapolis. Read the details, connect the dots, and remember to say their names, especially Renee Good and Alex Pretti. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I have literally gotten a WFP candidate elected and I am never doing anything for them again So-called progressives out here showing their whole ass for a guy with nazi tattoos who worked for Blackwater

Donald Trump is a deeply unwell old man whose mental deterioration is only getting worse and, despite claiming this sort of thing was the most important thing in the world in 2024, most legacy news media seems content to continue to ignore this very clear issue.

Amen

Build build build!

Stop the SAVE Act.

Is that conspiracy?

Calling Putin a humanitarian when he's the guy responsible for manipulating Trump is truly something to behold.

Trump is objectively pro medicare fraud. Especially when, as is usually the case, the perpetrators are MAGA men. Trump pardoned nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz just 3 months into his sentence for a $39 million fraud scheme.

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.

I think "the welfare state got substantially bigger during this period" should make the claim at least a *little* controversial.

Can't stress enough how basically banning people from renting single family homes (which is the flip side of banning companies from renting them out) is basically economic redline with lefty vibes (only the well off can live in suburbs). Sadly I think that is why it is so popular.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “We wanna turn these Epstein files into Epstein trials.” This is what a true leader looks like….👏👏👏💙💙😘

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

A lot of SCOTUS decisions are dumb, badly reasoned, even dangerous, but merit compliance out of respect for the rule of law and the Court's position under Article III. A decision denying birthright citizenship is a challenge to the constitutional order and should be understood as such.

If Trump's tariff taxes weren't bad enough, he's also managed to raise gas prices by a full dollar in a single month. He has been a historically bad president for working families, and everyone knows it.

Oh great. The US President is now back to publicly threatening to commit terrible war crimes because he started a war he did not understand. He should be in prison for this. Attacking desalinization plants could spiral into a regional catastrophe.

Have you heard the story of Barkley’s good friend Lin, a Chinese immigrant scientist in Iowa? www.wbur.org/onlyagame/20...

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

Thank you Capitol Police!

Five years ago, we witnessed the immense heroism of Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police, and other law enforcement officers who protected Congress on January 6. This week, we gathered to honor their contributions and bravery with a new tribute in the Capitol Building.

This is going to get many people killed. We could have just kept the JCPOA.

Before you come in here trying to defend this garbage, please explain to me how isn't isn't antisemitic (All Jews are Zionists, and secretly support Israel even if they are anti-Zionists) and also not a call for ethnic cleansing.

The fate of the world might well have hung on the decision of one Soviet sub officer not to agree to launch a nuclear torpedo. www.theguardian.com/science/2017...

Impossible to bury the lede here. It’s all lede. All the way down. To the centre of the earth.

It’s quite clearly an anti-constitutional effort.

The NYT quotes a young conservative operative without identifying him as such. On the left, the NYT quotes him wondering why anyone would think Trump is different from any other president. And then on the right, is that kid's Substack insisting that Trump is different from any other president.

Wow

The conditions at our immigrant detention centers are a national crisis. @fordhamlawnyc.bsky.social's Feerick Center reports: - Insufficient, spoiled food - Insufficient, non-functional toilets - Calls for medical care unheeded - Court dates missed - Guards picking physical fights More here:

This is so obvious. Just build more and the damn rent wont be so high.

Over 100 years ago today, the Supreme Court affirmed that babies born in the U.S. are U.S. citizens in a case called Wong Kim Ark. Next week, we'll be at the court defending this core American promise. Read more about our nationwide class action lawsuit at ACLUMaine.org/Barbara
