If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

The Justice Department is dropping a case against Elon Musk's SpaceX. The SEC is dropping a case against major Trump donors Coinbase. Donald Trump is using the government, and the justice system, to benefit allies and donors. Regular people, who don't get this kind of treatment, may not like this.

His answer: "well the GOP felt that way about Biden" is... just laughable.

Within his first month back in power, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly taken Russia's side on a host of issues. But Trump’s world moves fast, and it’s hard to remember everything. So here’s our recap. 👉 www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Trump’s honeymoon may be wearing off. New polls show a majority of Americans say he has overstepped his presidential authority — and hasn’t done enough to address high prices.

WaPo/Ipsos poll: 57 percent of respondents say Trump has exceeded his authority since taking office. More than 8 in 10 say he should follow court rulings. That includes more than 9 in 10 Democrats along with roughly 8 in 10 Republicans and independents.

KLUWE: “MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is." @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

Republicans are feeling the heat and trying to squirm away from Musk's unpopular cuts. Don't let them.

Dark Pence is back.

"Have I seen this? Yes. But have I seen it in an advanced economy, in an OECD member country? No, I have not." - Moritz Kraemer, former chief sovereign credit ratings officer at S&P on the Trump-Musk coup

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

Putin invaded the Ukraine militarily. He has invaded the USA politically, and he is succeeding better in the USA than he did in Ukraine.😪

Kennedy says panel will examine childhood vaccine schedule after promising not to change it- and claims SSRIs and childhood vaccines are the cause of myriad chronic diseases!! He is literally insane and stupid- vaccines and SSRIs are proven to have saved millions globally!!

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

This is what oligarchy looks like.

This. Especially Senate Republicans.

So good of dummkopf to destroy the west so poo tin doesn't have to.s
