Rubio finally admits the truth about trump. “Every country in the world has stupid people who say dumb things."

Surely we care as much about our country as Albanians do about theirs!

😂😂🤣

Thanks for the add, Suzzi!

Thanks so much, Tricia, for including me in this list of awesome folks! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Well, at least we got to see trump face plant and have to get hoisted back upright by security agents. Yes, this reporter’s accounting of important details is valuable.

And the problem with capitalism is that eventually there’s nothing left to steal!

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

So trump has been opting for the Russians “crazy Ivan” strategy. But where the Russians have deployed that as a deliberate ruse, trump is actually, certifiably crazy… now with the addition of increasing dementia.

Just as I remember “no drama” Obama. No manufactured crises, just competence, largely unnoticed, because preventing problems draws far less attention than creating them.

According to sources, it cannot be confirmed that Trump is at Walter Reed in “critical condition.” Damn.

VERY useful information, which I’m going to condense into my own personal crib sheet. Be sure to see the info on Startpage near the bottom of the article — a way to submit your Google searches anonymously.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

The only reasonable thing to be said about trump’s appalling comment is that it’s far kinder than any epitaph that will ever be written about him.

“Not since Adolf Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker beneath the garden of the German Reich Chancellery on April 30, 1945, have the lives of so many people around the world been so buffeted by the psychosis of a single man.” — David Rothkopf

But mostly, now we are at war to prevent the American public from getting the full, unredacted Epstein files.

Nailed it!

I’m just randomly putting this out there: If you need some respite from the chaos and want to reconnect with humanity — watch Midnight Diner! It’s a captivating series set in an all-night Tokyo diner, whose customers share simple food and their lives. Uplifting, often funny. On Netflix.

@charlesgaba.com Genuine question, as I’m confused. I thought your donation platform was an alternative to the money sucking ActBlue, but in starting to contribute to Roy Cooper, I see it appears to route through ActBlue. Could you explain?

Not even if it was R-rated.

The press better give this the full and unvarnished coverage it deserves. This is full-blown authoritarianism, people! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We’re pretty sure trump told Tom Homan that there was another $50,000 stuffed into a CAVA bag, in the possession of an immigrant somewhere in Minneapolis, if only he could find it.

This action and his statement certainly add to my already great admiration for Philip Glass!

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

A minor incident in today’s shitstorm, but… Yesterday, ICE raided a Latino area in Morristown, NJ with which I’m quite familiar. This community has many small businesses, and is friendly, family oriented, and law abiding. A high school senior with a 4.2 GPA was among those detained. Disgusting.

“Let us all die?” He will MAKE us all die.

Disgusting, and needs to be spread far and wide.

OMG, they’re breeding! abcnews.go.com/Politics/whi...

Poor Elise. She fed the wrong dog, and got a well-deserved bite!

With any luck, she’ll soon be deported to her “home,” Iran.

Sure, the House voted to release the files. And so will the Senate. And what happens next is that Pam Bondi will withhold some or all of them anyway, claiming her active investigation prohibits their release. This was trump’s plan all along, and why he suddenly approved the vote.

Trump and Pam have badly misread the room. Democrats and the spectrum of lefties will not circle the wagons as the maga cult and Republicans have. They will demand anyone be pursued, no matter their party, for involvement in child sexual abuse. Trump will get no cover from this cowardly deflection.

If only Nancy Pelosi could be Senate minority leader! This situation sucks, and so does Chuck Schumer.

“Justice Clarence Thomas, who… has called for erasing the same-sex marriage ruling.” Thomas had better consider that it would be hard to justify this rule reversal without applying the same reasoning to interracial marriages. Oopsie! apnews.com/article/supr...

Thanks, Monica! A great group of folks we all should follow.

If only hypocrisy were a crime… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

RIP, Dick Cheney. It’s so revealing that the VP once called Darth Vader due to his Iraq war lies, his declarations of a unitary executive, and his usurping of power from his own President is now, by today’s standards, a revered “traditional” Republican. Oh well, at least he gave us Liz.

Amazingly, this is not behind a paywall. Guess The Economist felt it that important to share! “…dissatisfaction with Mr Trump is widespread even in states that voted for him just a few months ago.” www.economist.com/interactive/...

Feed the people this year and STARVE THE MACHINE✊🏻

With all that’s happening in the U.S., it’s interesting to see the Brits are having a moment as well…

Once again, this administration shows that cruelty is a feature, not a bug. www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...
