Slight edit: Nazi porn bar

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.

Now that Republicans are cancelling Town Halls and cowering from constituents, send out a Democratic Town Hall Express to fill the gap. Buttigieg, et. al.

Sen Marshall booed roundly at townhall after leaving early after question about vets www.reddit.com/r/kansas/com...

I told you so I told you so Uhoh I told you so

Roger Marshall, the GOP senator who scampered away from a town hall in Oakley, Kansas, (pop. 1,987) when his constituents asked him about DOGE, likes to cite Dwight Eisenhower as his hero. @dionkansas.bsky.social, opinion editor for the Wichita Eagle, isn't buying it www.kansas.com/opinion/opn-...

This stuff is having a real effect, for those looking for something to do.

Sloppy and careless people

But not egg, because Trump take egg

Düsseldorf, Germany.

This is unconstitutional. A violation of the First Amendment. A violation of federalism and the separation of powers. It’s unconstitutionally vague. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful.

British troops have fought and died alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to be written off as non-existent people from "some random country". We have to maintain tolerable relations with this administration to try and minimise damage, but my god it's not easy.

we've reached the point that the WSJ opinion section is publishing pieces with headlines like this, just saying

👇

People should be calling this what it is, which is a crypto bailout. They're cutting cancer research so they can bailout rich, degenerate gamblers bsky.app/profile/ronf...

This guy is so deeply corrupt. newrepublic.com/post/192150/...

US taxpayer money should not be used to buy crypto so Trump can enrich himself, family, & friends. Yet again, America needs Republicans in Congress to step up, show some courage, and denounce this scheme. Instead, they will remain silent and propose another bill to honor Trump.

Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for a couple of decades. With a GOP Supermajority, over 30% of our schools are on a four-day week. We fund vouchers for private religious schools. Our starting teachers are 50th in the nation for pay and they pay for their own supplies.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

"as with the war, Zelensky didn’t start this Oval Office exchange. Was he supposed to tolerate an extended public denigration of the Ukrainian people, who have been fighting a war for survival for three years?” — WSJ edit board Gift link: www.wsj.com/opinion/puti...

500 people protesting at Tesla downtown Manhattan. They got inside, occupied, with "Nazi" signs. Not a good week for Tesla. finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-j...

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Still processing the fact that Zelensky asked Vance “Have you ever actually been to Ukraine?” and his response was that he’s watched and seen some videos.

This is not an effort to roll back "DEI" It's an effort to roll back civil rights "Agencies across the federal government are dismantling offices that enforce civil rights and antidiscrimination laws...weakening the government’s ability to deliver on legal obligations to protect workers’ rights"

The EEOC filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's company, Tesla, alleging it allowed "severe racial harassment" of Black employees including “frequent direct verbal racial attacks” and the “constant presence of racist graffiti evocative of lynchings.” Every story about these cuts should say that.

There were certainly signs

Perfect

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

Я українець.

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Dickless chode

I think we have to agree that JD is such a sniveling little bitch.

I’m glad Americans got to see what it looks like to have a president with courage, decency, and integrity in the White House, if only for a few minutes…

Part of the lesson here is that Trumpists, like many bullies, don’t handle it well if you stand up to them rather than caving. If Trump or Vance or their supporters had any character this petulant display and Zelenskyy’s defiance would be humiliating to them.

Justice for sale

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Ted Cruz said he’d found $2 billion in “woke” science grants, but his team used keyword searches that flagged things out of context, like a grant to develop a device to treat severe bleeding that mentioned “victims” and “trauma.” www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

what the actual

whoa sounds like this timeshare guy should be investigated for possible federal wire fraud by the … {checks notes} … FBI

Hoo-boy
