We are all going to die. Not from natural causes. This admin’s goal is only about power, $ and feeling like “Big Men”

Bombing Iran is a terrible idea. It’s unlikely to work—and nothing could be more perilous to American democracy than going to war under Donald Trump, Robert Kagan writes. https://theatln.tc/CH1ulpLM

#impeach Now!

Today in "trump's America", this could happen to you, to members of your family, within your circle of friends, to your neighbours ... #AmericanDemocracyIsInDanger

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

DHS doubling down on Gestapo tactics

What could go wrong during hurricane and wildfire season? “The top FEMA position is currently held by an interim leader, David Richardson, who has no prior emergency management experience. After he was installed in May, Reuters reported more than a dozen top FEMA employees resigned.”

C’mon @apnews.com Try to Salvage?

Saudi Arabia has executed another journalist, Turki Al-Jasser, after 7 years of detention for reporting on corruption. The failure to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi only encourages further acts of deadly violence against journalists in the Persian Gulf & elsewhere.

Trump: "We all know the Prime Minister of the UK and we just signed a document...So we have our trade agreement with the European Union." The UK is not a member of the European Union.

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

Trump’s next Secretary of Defense! (I’m only kind of joking)

Brilliant.

MSNBC reporter on ground in LA right now saying that from what he has seen the protestors have been peaceful but the LA Sheriff’s Dept in particular has been off the chain, quick to use tear gas and rubber bullets in an exceedingly aggressive manner

Chicago congresswoman @repdeliaramirez hands Kristi Noem a letter of resignation and encourages her to use it 👀

#RepDeliaRamirez for the win!

Sorry, cancer patients, but we just don't have the money. We had to prioritize spending tens of millions on a military parade so the president could compensate for his many personal inadequacies. I'm sure you understand.

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In the big picture, I’m curious how things go down behind the scenes with this admin. Does each cabinet member pick a topic they’d like to create chaos, cruelty and distraction with? Then there are minions creating mini-layers of chaos under their “leader”?

JUST IN: The Ninth Circuit GRANTS the Trump admin's request to temporarily stay Judge Breyer's order to relinquish federal control of the California National Guard. It orders briefing over the next few days and a hearing on Tuesday. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted an administrative stay of Judge Breyer’s order — a move that puts the order on pause, allowing continued deployment of the national guard. Two Trump judges and one Biden judge on the panel.

.Judge says Trump illegally deployed National Guard to help with LA protests, must return control.

Trump is currently at a showing of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center

I suspect in the days ahead we will hear a large number of people saying publicly what no one has been saying publicly. I suspect everyone reading this knows what I am referring to. A POTUS who falsely accuses Democratic leaders of paying for a military invasion of the United States is a madman.
