I believe so. Every time he opens his mouth he lies.

It's very frustrating how they report Trump's statements without any verification when everyone on earth knows that he lies more easily than he breathes He's been negotiating with his own fantasies/hallucinations the whole war, but the press still treats his delusions like they're rooted in reality

Why even report this without confirmation from Iran? Probably just more blathering from his demented brain.

Remember this. I couldn't keep from thinking about it while watching this morning: Jackson is a descendant of slaves. Her citizenship exists because of the 14th Amendment. Today, she sat on the SCOTUS...and watched Trump's lawyer argue that amendment has been misread for 158 years. He was wrong.

Whatever Iranian missiles/drones took down the Reapers probably cost 1% as much. Republican toddler "warfighters" are using up our sophisticated armaments and soldiers on a vanity war started to cover up GOP #Pedophilia. They most be so proud!

I mean, good, but it’s still a sign of profound dysfunction if this isn’t 9-0. A justice who will sign off on this is effectively announcing there’s nothing too flagrantly unconstitutional to get their blessing if a Republican president does it.

"Trump has spoken frequently about the 'scourge' of drugs coming into the country. At the same time, the [DOJ] has declined to prosecute nearly 5,000 cases of federal drug law violations, including trafficking and money laundering. The number of declinations were 45% higher than the average"

The Trump administration "has pursued fewer prosecutions of nearly every other type of crime — from drug offenses to corruption — than new administrations in their first six months dating back to 2009."

I often share ProPublica work by picking one quote that stood out to me. But I can't narrow it down with this jaw-dropping piece by @kbmorales.bsky.social and @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social so, uh, 🧵I guess: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

We live in the stupidest times with the stupidest GOP government.

Agreed. I believe the nuke issue was an excuse. Pressure from Bibi and Putin combined with the #EpsteinFiles release were the real motivations.

My analysis (as a former mil intel officer). NATO allies' unwillingness to support Trump's war with Iran strongly indicates current intel contradicts Trump's claims that Iran had the ability and/or intent to imminently build nuclear weapons. Trump's war with Iran was unnecessary.

So when will Republicans formally join Putin's United Russia Party? www.theguardian.com/world/middle...

Not reported consequence of sinking an oil tanker of the coast of UAE/Qatar/Saudi/Kuwait/Bahrain is pollution making water desalination plants unable to provide 90% of the fresh water these countries use now.

Absolutely true. Trump always says "America First" but he always acts "Russia First." And cowardly Republican traitors just go right along with him.

No one respects the US any longer. Trump and MAGA have done this. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy youtube.com/shorts/kWzma...

It's like @kaine.senate.gov saw this when he drafted a bill (with Rubio of all people) that passed that we can't pull out of NATO without Congress.

The disastrous Trump-Netanyahu war is the gift that keeps on giving for Putin. Unsanction Russian oil.☑️ Cement crucial role in providing fertilizers.☑️ Sky high oil prices refilling Kremlin's depleted finances.☑️ Trump questioning NATO to deflect blame.☑️

Since Trump is talking about pulling out of NATO again he must have been chatting with master manipulator Putin. #PutinsLapdog

NATO is a treaty alliance. He doesn’t have the power to do it. Regardless, making the effort to blow up the alliance would be one of the greatest achievements in Russian intelligence history…other than getting their man elected in the first place, of course.

Republicans are focused on #Grifting from Americans. Who has time to govern?

What an insecure narcissist Trump is.

Everything Republicans do helps our rivals. The GOP is truly the most incompetent and destructive organization around today.

If you’re still supporting Trump, it’s no longer a political choice. It’s a statement that you don’t care about morality, legality, or the truth.

The “brocasters” gave Trump the boost he needed to win 2024. Now they talk about him and MAGA like they’re a bunch of simpletons. Too bad they figured it out after they helped break it.

My gas and groceries are up 40%, my health insurance is up 50%, and the president is covering up an elite pedophilia ring. But at least there won't be trans athletes competing in a 2028 Olympic sport that I won't be watching.

If the military won't send Apache helicopters to scare protesters away from my home, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

Ending the war between the US and Iran will be hard, experts say, due to the difficulty of negotiating with a weak, erratic head of state.

Trump's rambling press conference raises new questions about Joe Biden's mental state.

The thousands of American kids we kill by cutting health care will die with smiles on their faces knowing that the money was used for missiles to kill Iranian kids. by Jodey Arrington

Educators say that students who are struggling in class should meet with their instructors or join study groups. A guy who eats dogs and cuts penises off dead raccoons says they should just take heroin instead. For busy young people, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Whether it’s Donald Trump killing civilians on four different continents or Joe Biden not offering enough media access, the two most recent presidents have brought the office to new lows.

We wanted to understand how the rising price of gas will affect blue-collar Americans in Midwestern swing states. So we talked to three Ivy-educated podcasters with trust funds at a Le Pain Quotidien in Dupont Circle.

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats are unable to stop random liberal low-follower BlueSky accounts from talking about neocolonialism and "unhoused people", I will have no choice but to hold my nose and vote for him for the fourth time in 2028.

I hope everyone’s learned their lesson about “let’s run our government like a business” bullshit Businesses can be run into the ground Not really supposed to do that with governments

The stock market is soaring today because people are convinced the war is about to end. Meanwhile…

This is unconstitutional. Voting is a fundamental right for every American. Illinois will keep administering free and fair elections – and what Donald Trump puts on a piece of paper will not change that.

"This court forces you to hand over a list of the Jews" is pretty goddamn scary.

I'm not even going to make it to the discussion of "winning in Vietnam." I'm stuck on the "we" that is seizing Kharg Island, and how "easy" it will be.

Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social

What a bunch of GOP #Snowflakes who imposed this policy. Can't take a little criticism from foreigners? GimmeABreak!

100%! This guy's a moron. Defending Kharg Island against drone warfare is a nightmare. Especially when we're running out of interceptor missiles. And the IRGC has been engaged in drone war in Ukraine for years. The US has never fought a drone war. Playing catch up in a warzone is a very bad idea.

Trump’s corruption and grift is unprecedented.

Uh oh. In Republican-speak, two weeks means 'never'

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow. The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.

Do any Republicans still believe in #Democracy who will speak out against this effort?
