Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

www.alternet.org/katie-hobbs-... The pardon coming next week

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

JFC America

Gosh, maybe that's why we're supposed to have due process.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

He also halted arms shipments to Ukraine without telling anyone, until congressional Republicans found out about it and got it reversed. P.S. - Biden is old.

This is the problem with X in a nutshell. You fundamentally can't trust the product, because the owner will trash it's functioning in an effort to make the world match his batshit views. It's as if Henry Ford was not just antisemitic, but stitched anti-semitic propaganda into every Model T.

The Director of National Intelligence's FOIA website (which has reappeared after the entire site was briefly down) no longer has a reading room of released documents or links to its FOIA regulations which, were we to be picky, violates the EFOIA amendments of 1996. Amazing timing.

So much is misunderstood about federal spending, and where the money REALLY goes. Here’s the truth (hint: Elon isn’t helping) on the latest DeCoded! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHPk...

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

Growing up in the '70s I'd read about strongman rulers in far-off places like Asia or Africa who had billion-dollar Swiss bank accounts and mansions in the French Riviera while their citizens were mired in poverty, and wondered how that could be allowed to happen Now I know

A Christianity that is offended by someone advocating for the poor, the immigrant, the hungry, the sick, the marginalized, and the oppressed, is a Christianity that is offended by Jesus. Therefore, it is no longer Christianity.

One important part of this is to get the risks that Noem is ignoring--like Chinese and Russian hacking--on the record.

LOL

Turns out you can't always trust Polymarket. Who knew?

I think @lioneltrolling.bsky.social has something somewhere on this idea, that MAGA is all about economic spoils only for select elites and maintaining hierarchy that way. Or via @chrislhayes.bsky.social, the goal is not the 1950s but the 1890s. I think the Trump toy debate illustrates this nicely:

A reminder not to store red sauce in Tupperware.

Which Trump officials will be on Fox today blaming Biden for stuff when they should be doing actual work for the American people at their agencies? At this point, taxpayers are just paying the salaries for a bunch of daily Fox contributors.

How to Grow As a Person: Don't let your ego dictate your level of honesty.

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?
