You simply can't focus on "kitchen table issues" any more when the president, on live audio, announced his intention to vanish tens of thousands of US citizens to El Salvador and requested that the president of El Salvador build several more mega prisons to house them. This is it. Moment of truth.

Calm down Dorothy, I've spent longer putting the bins out

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

. Korea’s parliament vowed to impeach their president every single week until his party stopped covering for him or he resigned in disgrace. No other business got done. Meanwhile in America, we’re just…vibing through the collapse. 🥴 .

Anyway, I’m delighted. www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Witkoff is all over the media, boasting about his wonderful conversation with Putin, where they discussed transferring Ukrainian territories to Russia—territories that Russia does not even control. Am I suddenly in some surreal alternative reality?

So much winning…

Sounds about right.

Jeez. Did Trump really just say President Zelensky started the war with Russia? Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator called Vladimir Putin FACTS MATTER

New records reveal that Marjorie Taylor Greene bought thousands of dollars in stock right before Trump’s tariff pause announcement caused markets to surge.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“Nobody’s coming to save us. It is us.” @adamkinzinger.bsky.social is absolutely correct. Please watch this. He expresses what many of us internalize on the daily. We need a plan. First line of defense is holding our representatives accountable. #MomSky

EU and Canada warning about travel to the US I wonder if the UK is doing the same, or still in 'special relationship' mode 🤷‍♂️

Extremely packed stadium in deep-red Idaho for AOC and Bernie Sanders' Fighting Oligarchy rally!

There we go.

“The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage, a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China.” We are now viewed as a security threat, to our once closest allies. Enraging & heartbreaking. www.ft.com/content/20d0...

“The UK is prepared to retain some regulatory alignment with the European Union and accept supervision of the bloc's court over a deal to cut checks on imports of foods and agricultural products” Good. Our future is with Europe 👏 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I know everyone knows but damn this chart goes so hard

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Never Forget ‼️

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Russian ballistic missiles hit the city of Sumy again — just after the horrific Russian ballsitic missile attack that killed dozens of innocent civilians.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Jeffries: "So many of these people are crooks, liars, and frauds, and Marjorie Taylor Greene is of course exhibit A ... we do need to change the law so that sitting members of Congress cannot trade stock. Period. Full stop."

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.
