Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

A huge 68% of respondents in Britain see a benefit in reintroducing cross-Channel freedom of movement in exchange for access to the European single market. Sadly the clueless Starmer thinks it's better to cling to the cult of Brexit, and do a deal with Trump. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"It's a complicated situation, rooted in some real problematic things happening between the two countries," - Steve Witkoff on his meetings with Putin. By "problematic things," he means the war Russia started?

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials. Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the waiting room. Here’s what we found out ⬇️

The mainstream media outlets we keep sharing on here are the same outlets who’ve always convinced us there will be massive public outrage if Democrats lack decorum but also voters just love the energy and fight in Republicans. They’re against us. Drop them. Even their positive spins are traps.

I’m glad DPI is taking a stand against this gross overreach from the federal government. Here in Wisconsin, we believe in local control of our schools, not bowing to the whims of a tyrant. www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

JD Vance, "Denmark is not being a good ally" "If we need to take Greenland that is what President Trump will do because he doesn't care about what Europeans scream at us"

Trump on Greenland: "Denmark is very far away. A boat landed there 200 years ago or something and they say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually ... we really need it for national security ... maybe you'll see more and more soldiers go there."

Belgrade protests against pro-Russian Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. Protesters blame Vučić’s government for corruption, negligence, and safety violations.

Marco Rubio should be jailed for contempt of court Federal Judge Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to stop deporting immigrants and directed that-if removals were ongoing-the planes must be turned around Rubio clearly violated that order This unconstitutional conduct must be stopped NOW

The librarians, who are really good at organizing things, are mobilizing against Trump’s effort to delete the agency supporting libraries and museums in all 50 states.

Elon Musk is losing his mind over protests at Tesla dealerships. Why? His fortune is collapsing. Nearly all of it is Tesla stock. You know what to do, America. If you want to save our government from a coup, apparently the rebels’ weak spot is protesting and boycotting Tesla.

Dear universities, scientists, lawyers, farmers, workers, artists, doctors... Being silent won't protect you.

Always remember--this is not a case of Trump appeasing Putin--its actually him joining Putin. Its not Munich 1938, its the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939.

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

Trump to a reporter who asks him about Russia breaking a ceasefire: "What if a bomb drops on your head right now ... Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt."

As you see stories circulating today about Trump having been recruited by Soviet intelligence in 1987, keep the timing and text of the ad below in mind. m.economictimes.com/magazines/pa...

The American Bar Assoc. held its annual conference on white collar crime yesterday. You know who didn't show up? The Justice Department.

It's true...and here we are! #fight #resist #strongertogether #BlueCrew

Trumps message to the people of Greenland is that we’re gonna get Greenland one way or the other

Must be exciting for our military officers to learn that they may be going to war against NATO (Canada, Denmark) while helping Russia take Ukraine. Exactly what they signed up for!

For almost two hours last night, Trump gaslight the nation. It was an avalanche of falsehoods, petty insults and performative acts intended to make you accept his alternative reality. That tariffs aren't somehow a crushing tax on Americans. That alienating our allies will make us stronger. ...🧵

👀 The Times published a cartoon titled "General Address to Congress."

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Imagine your child’s teacher disappearing overnight. That’s what Trump’s education cuts will do—180,000 teachers gone. This will impact 2.8 million kids. Fight back! Call Congress at 202-224-3121 Demand they reject these cuts. #ProtectOurKids social.demcast.com/s/tErUqYQj

"You should be hired on the basis of merit." For some reason, the camera did not cut to Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kash Patel, or Tulsi Gabbard.

Brexit the Elephant is at the airport wondering where to go. Due to the 90 in 180 day he has to plan trips carefully now, because after spending 90 days in France or Italy, he finds he can’t go to Switzerland or Spain at all. Not even for a weekend. #brexit Repost @andrewhesselden.bsky.social

Anna Soubry, "Brexit would be a disaster for the future of our country" Vince Cable, "There is no deal better than the one we have" Caroline Lucas, "Brexit would make our poorer communities even poorer" Throwback to the 2018 People's Vote March

The Revolution will be AI-icized

House Republicans are now just making stuff up on Fox to justify Trump's push to kill FEMA

Just introduced an amendment to protect local police department funding from this Republican Ripoff. All Republicans voted no. Republicans are willing to defund the police to give tax cuts to billionaires and the largest corporations. youtube.com/shorts/MXrQi...

Just read a post from Europe. They paid Ukraine 2x as much as the US and are not asking for anything in return & not extorting them while they are fighting for their lives because the are NOT ASSHOLES. If anyone still has a twitter account shove this in their face.

Republican congressman Andy Ogles wants to impeach Federal court judge John Bates, who was appointed by George W. Bush because of his rulings against Elon Musk and DOGE. Are you seeing what is happening yet? #WakeUp news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Trump's pardoning of Capitol rioters undermines the rule of law & sends a dangerous message: that violence will be rewarded, not punished. This isn't what America stands for. We need leaders who uphold justice, not enable extremism. #J6Pardons

Who made this 🤣

BREAKING: elon reveals himself to be the white trash fascist you always knew he was.
