The crowd cheers at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson in Chicago for former presidents Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama as they arrive.

Former President Joe Biden praising both Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson gives me life. I miss Joe.

it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson

Obama has the crowd at Jesse Jackson's eulogy hanging on his every word

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

It should be a much bigger story that oil prices surged because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran, forcing the White House to ease sanctions on Russian oil—only for Russia to take that money and help Iran target American troops.

Remember when Trump promised that India would stop buying Russian oil? Well it turns out that Trump's decision to bomb Iran has had the exact opposite effect, leading to a surge of Russian oil being sent to India. www.indiatoday.in/india/story/...

Orban refusing to let the EU help Ukraine, and now kidnapping Ukrainian citizens, all so he can get Russian oil. I will be so glad when Orban, Putin, and oil are all irrelevant.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones. Russia helps Iran track American forces. And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil. Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Bessent says the Trump admin may now lift sanctions on even more Russian oil to try and reduce oil prices during Trump’s war. This would provide a massive injection of cash to fund Putin’s war machine.

Bessent: "We may unsanction other Russian oil"

"The United States Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas" ... if ever there was a made-up title/position so that someone doesn't loose face – and spill the dirt on Trump, this is it.

The Pentagon just put this person -- who has boosted the views of white supremacist Nick Fuentes, among other unacceptable public posts -- in charge of its AI policy: www.reuters.com/world/us/sta...

In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ... The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson. Respect recognizes respect.

Deception Detection 101: If you can't answer the question, "No. I'm not sleeping with my subordinate" – then you ARE sleeping with your subordinate.

🔥Ex-CIA Ex-Marine congressional candidate @adamduniganva8 : “This is now a regional conflict involving 17 countries… incompetence, lack of planning, and an inability to understand the scale of the crisis they’ve created… Trump spent more time with Epstein than planning for war.”

According to Senator Whitehouse this victim stopped cooperating with FBI’s inquiry because of a threatening environment. (MSNOW on Psaki’s program)

Measles in the time of COVID might explain why some people have such bad outcomes?

“Nolen said she recently visited one of the communities in Utah seeing high numbers of measles to talk with people who have been infected about their experience with the virus… Nolen said the people she spoke with told her that contracting measles was much worse than they expected.”

Over 120 people have been hospitalized due to measles in Utah alone. "It is, at this time a real threat in our state and something we can do to stop it," said Dr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologist… pleading for people to get themselves and their children vaccinated.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

The Pentagon can likely get away with using OpenAI’s technology for mass surveillance of Americans under the terms of their contract, legal experts told @matteowong.bsky.social.

The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country. The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing. truthout.org/articles/ice...

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases. We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

MAGA Influencers Arrested for Hate Crimes Two men in NYC thought it was okay to harass a 54-year-old Black woman, spew racist slurs and set her boots on fire, all while livestreaming it. This isn’t just “bad behavior”, this is targeted hate, caught on video www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/c...

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.” @jkbjournalist.bsky.social bringing it home www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

New: The White House is transforming the Iran strikes into a meme war. An "aesthetic of bloodlust" that gives Americans the empathy-free, Hollywood, video-game version of deadly combat www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

White House sparks backlash after posting another video mashup of action movies with Iran strikes: ‘It’s not a meme’

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.

How DARE Pete Hegseth diminish the sacrifice of our troops? How fucking DARE he.

Those school girls and musicians from the Iranian navy were people who thought they’d be able to live.

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

Kharkiv: A 5-story building was destroyed as a result of a Russian missile strike ​The body of a deceased person was extricated from the rubble. Preliminarily, 10 people were injured, including 2 children. Four people were rescued. People may still be under the rubble. Efforts to extinguish the fire

⚡️”Americans don’t want political message points and workout videos from their Secretary of Defense.” Barbara Starr Believes Americans Care Much More About Troop Safety Than Pentagon Politics. 🍎Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Damn, Barbara Starr 🔥

Example: “At least four of the companies awarded contracts so far are owned by Cerberus Capital Management, a private equity firm founded by billionaire Steve Feinberg, who until last year ran the company and is now the deputy secretary of defense — second-highest-ranking official in the Pentagon.”

Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate: ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.

Ukrainian troops strike a Russian tank south of Pokrovsk. A Russian tank was spotted by aerial reconnaissance near Uspenivka in the area of responsibility of the 7th Air Assault Corps. The occupiers tried to hide it inside the ruins of a non-residential building. 📹7corpsDSHV

The world is hostage to a madman.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Realize the DOJ released the least offensive statements in the pool of iniquities that have F47 mentioned. It stretches the imagination on what could be worse. Murder?
