This is really pathetic, I have to say. Trump is completely the opposite of a "leader"; he's a coward who has no convictions at all, and always blames everybody else. Nauseating.

I want to patiently explain that this is exactly why U.S. national security interests depend on maintaining a trained and effective "Voice of America" broadcasting service, and nurturing deep area and linguistic knowledge, and I also want to lose my goddamn mind

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

A very important story. Pam Hemphill, who is a hero, was disinvited from a rally because the organizers would not “forgive” her. This is how oppositions fail reedgalen.substack.com/p/dear-rally...

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

Governor Newsom showed us how you take on a wannabe dictator: head-on. Trump can jail dissenters, but he'll never silence America’s voice. We surrender that to no one.

In 2018, Donald Trump, then in his first term as US president, let Iran out of nuclear restrictions in exchange for nothing. Many people, very much including me, warned that he put things on a path with only two possible outcomes: large-scale war, or a nuclear-armed Iran. And here we are.

I wasn't under the impression that the Department of Homeland Security was authorized to unseat and replace local elected governments. (Her security detail then proceeded to wrestle a US Senator to the ground and handcuff him). Dark days indeed.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

"The Trumpian June 14, 2025 parade and celebration will be the successor to that angry insurrection of January 6, 2021—a celebration of 'patriotism' that is deeply anti-democratic, and of a man who is the most authoritarian president in American history."

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

Noem is now claiming (falsely) that Sen. Padilla didn't identify himself. Huh. I'd ask her to imagine how confusing it must be when masked men with guns don't identify themselves to people they're grabbing off the streets.

Let's be absolutely clear: physically assaulting a US Senator for simply asking a question is disgraceful. We stand with Senator Padilla and all those peacefully defending working people against this administration's attacks.
