Imagine living life this drunk and stupid & you got Pete.

Somewhat ironic that the least qualified, most unfit and incompetent Sec of Defense in American history is the one who abolished DEI.

Come on now, how are the Russians going to know what we’re doing, if we only use classified channels? 👇

“Everyone has a reason to be angry,” Clinton said, “but you chose a different path.” On the Oklahoma City bombing’s 30th anniversary, his words hit home: progress comes not from vengeance or dominance, but from rejecting hate—even when it feels justified. That’s real patriotism.

If Trump continues his anti-Democratic actions, and Rubio his scattered 'international relations' statements, Tourism may cease to exist for foreign visitors- including from Canada. Fear of 'Ideological Scrutiny' & Lock-up is a Real thing, & it's Spreading!

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Daughter accepted to a big 10 school ***drumroll*** FREE RIDE between grants & merit scholarships ✨ What a year! highest highs, lowest lows, she’s a Pisces and this Saturn transit has been brutal & she’s kept her eye on the prize. No matter what they say about Saturn, Saturn always rewards

Trump has taken the most powerful country in the world, with the greatest alliances, and the strongest economy, and flushed it down the toilet based on his understanding of politics in 1984 and trade deficits. The greatest self shot to the nut sack in history

For those breaking the constitution on behalf of Donald Trump with the assumption that he has your back: he may. But he’s 78, never exercised in his life, and will be president max another 3.5 years. There will be not statute of limitations for violating it

I have a friend that guarded Saddam Hussein after his capture. He said he was quite nice and friendly. Reminds me of Bill Mahers meeting with Trump. Being nice doesn’t mean you aren’t a bad bad man

These are not real town halls. They’re fine, but don’t let them claim these are as good as town halls. You totally control the script. I’ve done dozens of em

This is absolutely wrong. The naval academy cancelled a speech by a well known and inspiring guy because they want to protect their students from…. The truth?!? How far have they fallen.. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

My Easter message: You don’t have to share my faith to find meaning in it. In an age of chaos and lies, the story of Easter still offers hope, truth, and redemption adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/resurrecti...

Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, says arrests of Democratic governors and mayors of sanctuary states or cities is "absolutely coming". newrepublic.com/post/194039/...

Brexit keeps being a loser for Britain.

Don't doubt this !🤣😂

Not the GOP, but John McCain earned the respect of a great deal of Democrats that day That was also the day the GOP turned their back on civility and on John McCain

Courage is contagious!

A capitalist institution is suddenly crawling with, wait for it…”Communists.”

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

Tom Emmer refuses three times to answer a question about if Trump has legal authority to deport American citizens (the answer is "no")

Three ex-presidents denounce the current one in a two-week stretch https://wapo.st/3EvDGvp

I hosted a panel in Farmington, Missouri tonight. A huge turnout. This is Jason Smith’s district. They are not happy about those CECOT pictures he posted…

Hey @tonyortega.bsky.social! Imagine if Harvard were to lose it's tax-exempt status while Scientology retains their's. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

We are witnessing in real time what the descent into fascism looks like. If spineless Democrats won’t take “extraordinary action” in these extraordinary times, we need to replace them with Democrats who will.

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

These images and stories from yesterday's mobilizations across the US are inspiring, but one thing that is visibly absent from Resistance2.0 so far is young people. Based on conversations with youth and campus organizers I know and data I've collected, here are some likely reasons (short 🧵)

Turns out Steve Witkoff has been doing business with Len Blavatnik while stupidly parroting Russian propaganda and leading Trump's capitulation to Putin. www.counteroffensive.news/p/scoop-trum...

Proof positive💯💯💯
