Why can't our politicians and press be like Mark Carney and the Canadian press? Do Canadians have bigger balls? =======================

There is no nuclear weapons program. Fetterman’s pals in the Trump administration - including DNI Gabbard - have confirmed there is no nuclear weapons program. Fetterman is lying. Openly. Demonstrably. Shamelessly.

@smith.senate.gov: "They try to pretend that this violence, in this case in Minnesota, was actually driven by left wing ideology, when that is clearly not what is going on here... Let's be honest, here we have Donald Trump, one of the first actions that he took was to pardon the insurrectionists."

Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?

A top staffer to MN Sen. Tina Smith emailed this Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers. Stop the gratuitous hate! “It is important for your office to know how much additional pain you've caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend. I am not sure what compelled you or your boss to say any of those things.”

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed. The suspect had a hit list. And what did we do? We blamed each other. We justified. We spun. Political violence isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re normalizing it. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/political-...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Tina Smith confronted her Senate colleague Mike Lee over his social media post that blamed the Minnesota lawmaker shootings on “Marxists.”

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

Soccer Has been growing in popularity for decades The $349 tickets are being virtually given away for $4.00 If you support 47 & his goon squads who arrive unidentifiable, masked, dressed military style to kidnap people they claim to be here without current documentation , enjoy the match

NEW: The American Bar Association is suing Trump over his attacks on law firms. Here's a gift link for more info: wapo.st/4le2DLL

Today a number of veterans, one being 80 years old, were arrested at the Capitol building in DC for peacefully protesting against the unconstitutional unlawful assembly of the orange felon’s dictator march. I stand with these heroes who stand against fascism.

This isn't legal. Who in the ever loving fuck is telling the Marines that this is acceptable? If it's the chain of command; then that chain has violated the Posse Comitatus Act. Also, these Marines should fucking know that this is an illegal order. They should have refused the order.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

Will be going to the demonstration in Pasadena on Saturday. In between mundane things.

LAPD shoot US woman with a rubber bullet for trying to get into her home, they were blocking her entrance and there was no protest in sight. “Holy fuck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” ( www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlore) #3E #StopICE

Bonta: We brought a lawsuit today on behalf of the governor and the State of California, challenging as unlawful the president’s federalization of the National Guard.. The authority he relies on does not permit him to unilaterally call in the National Guard.

🌏 Our Aussie PM's statement about the Correspondent who was hit with RUBBER BULLET during LA protest. "We have RAISED these ISSUES with the U.S. Administration. We DON'T find it acceptable that it occurred. And WE think the role of the media is particularly IMPORTANT." #auspol

well, well, well...

Very courageous. Bill Cassidy betrayed his oath as a physician and put the health of the nation in jeopardy because he was afraid of a primary. That will be his legacy.

If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start. People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.

Telling….

I think the same!!

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism. https://www.commondreams.org/news/david-huerta-arrested

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Newsom: This guy has 90 days, 90 beautiful deals. How many deals? Zero.. The UK? Give me a break.

THIS. THIS is how you use your white privilege. 🇵🇸
