Here's the exchange with JD Vance and people who were asking him questions about Ukraine while he was with his 3 year-old daughter. At no point were any of these people yelling at or attacking his kid.

It just hit me that if Rocky IV was made today in Trump's America, Rocky would side with Ivan Drago and kill Apollo. Meanwhile, JD Vance would try to kick James Brown in the nuts.

They keep bringing water pistols to try to put out a bonfire. We need more Al Green's and fewer ping pong paddles

I do not trust for a second that Elon Musk isn't using his immense power as co-president & head of DOGE to tip the scales in his favor when it comes to the BILLIONS in government contracts his businesses receive. And neither should you.

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism. Mass direct action.

I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss! Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.

Business leaders can meet one on one with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago as long as they pay $5,000,000 for access, according to WIRED. This kind of pay-for-play should outrage *every* American.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House. Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red district—more of this, please! Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.
