Stop selling arms to Israel then.

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

Absolute fucking clown show

The entire point.

Errrr....did you not actually *see* the state of him as you bade him farewell in the Oval Office yesterday?

Trump gives away the game that there is literally no process to his tariff announcements beyond the half-baked thoughts flitting through his head

Just totally shameless.

NEW: Harvard President Alan Garber gets a standing ovation at the University’s graduation ceremony as he takes a swipe at Trump: "Members of the class of 2025, from down the street, across the country AND around the world. Around the world - just as it should be.” 👏 (🎥 MSNBC)

And they’re not even trying to hide it now… (🤔 and this in a State Dept headed up by a Cuban-American)

Beyond parody.

Trump is just going to keep slinging pardons to the highest bidders because the power is unlimited & Repubs in Congress won’t say a word. Despite no legal or moral justification, they will come steadily all 4 years - each more reprehensible and brazen than the one before it.

62 years ago today, Bob Dylan released The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan—an album that gave voice to a generation and melodies to its questions. From “Blowin’ in the Wind” to “Don’t Think Twice,” it still sings to the soul.

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Yet more dodgy pardons. The Chrisleys were found “guilty of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans” and “of conspiring to defraud the IRS and tax evasion.” apnews.com/article/ente...

Yet more blatant presidential corruption.

*Where* is the humanity? #StopTheGenocide

This seems more like him... www.borowitzreport.com/p/trump-hono...

Well this is reassuring 😳😬

"You're really quite something." "But you're really quite nothing!" 👊🎯 🤣

Not the best judge of character at all, are you Donny 🙄

Yeah, sure. 🙄 You're House Speaker and third in line to the Presidency, of course you don't know what your Great Leader is doing on any given day at any given time.

Happy birthday, Bob Dylan. m.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxj...

Leavitt and facts are unacquainted.

This is a clear cut coordination policy intended to force independent institutions into loyalty with the regime. It is obviously the behaviour of an authoritarian state and anyone who claims otherwise needs their fucking head examined www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“ ICE detention has grown dramatically. It’s up to about 48,000 people in detention. And that’s up from under 30,000 at the end of the Biden administration.”

King of the grift.

If you allow a military to shoot doctors and humanitarian workers without redress and with abandon, they will not see any reason not to shoot diplomats. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Trump's performance in the Oval Office today was nothing less than an ambush of President Ramaphosa. Vile, reprehensible behaviour (as per towards Zelensky) - "...countries in the most vulnerable positions are being treated to the harshest humiliation in the Oval Office." (Tom Bateman, BBC News)

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Always impressed by Jessica Tarlov’s grit and steely determination to make the Fox morons hear the actual facts 👏🏻

🚨 Musk’s racist AI has been spitting out lies about white genocide and denying the holocaust. Don’t f*cking use it. If there was any doubt, everyone still hates Elon. 📍A short journey from Twitter/Grok’s London HQ

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

Why does US mainstream media have nothing to say about Trump’s obviously declining mental acuity? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Their front pages/lead stories should be on fire with critical coverage of his cognitive decline and the general state of his mental health.

He's so incredibly vindictive and petty 🙄 Payments aren't made to celebs *personally*, but to cover production costs. Some clarity, with the specific example of Oprah 👇 variety.com/2024/tv/news...
