beyond parody -- Trump, through Karoline Leavitt, announces he'll make his decision about whether to strike Iran "within the next two weeks"

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

this is a fucking disgrace. ICE out of Chavez Ravine now

So, if I have this right, Israel has started a war for regime change and nuclear disarmament but has neither the strategy nor the capabilities to ensure either. It's counting on the Iranian people and US bombs to achieve its goals.

Trump left the G7 summit early because he is mad at Macron and Zelenskyy- FT

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Major Anomaly. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Major media fail: Two thirds of voters have heard "little" or "nothing at all" about the budget bill that will have huge ramifications on their daily lives. www.washingtonpost.com/documents/b7...

"Two... defense officials... were briefed that perhaps only a tactical nuclear weapon could be capable of destroying Fordow because of how deeply it is buried. "Trump is not considering using a tactical nuclear weapon on Fordow."

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

They've got to stop taking no for an answer.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Remember when everyone pretended like Trump got shot in the ear

Ask your doctor what treatment the supreme court decided is right for you.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

Given the chance, Trump would have "solved" the Civil War with a Confederate victory.

It took 21 months but, this morning I received the results of the Alberta government's pension plan engagement survey: *63% opposed to Alberta Pension Plan (APP) *10% pro-APP *12% undecided/unsure *15% other responses edmontonjournal.com/news/politic... #ableg #abpoli

Don’s right. Trumpism not just permits, but demands, overt hostility to a wide array of American values, institutions, culture, and people. Trumpism hates much more of America than it loves.

Well I’m sure Trump will be counselled away from the brink of a generation-long war and back to moderation and reason by his Chief of Staff, a general whose official Department of Defense site lists his name as Razin Caine

Many liberals and progressives understand the Supreme Court to be a bastion of rights and a bulwark against the excesses of an oppressive majority. But, for most of its history outside the Warren Court, the Supreme Court has been a bastion of oligarchy and white supremacy. This is its normal.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

Trump EO: "Anyone who protests or criticizes me will hereby be shot in the face." Schumer statement: "Extrajudicial executions are just a distraction. What the Republicans aren't telling you is that those who survive the face-shootings will no longer be covered by Medicaid or Medicare."

Deploying military troops domestically is, in no way, part of "national security policy."

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.
