Explosive night in Russia: Over 30 blasts rocked Kursk due to a massive drone attack — Russian media. 115 UAVs reportedly targeted 5 regions across Russia, including Moscow oblast.

Their MAGA Hypocrisy Is Astounding.

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

Meanwhile in Tallahassee, the Florida House is launching investigations into financial mismanagement by the DeSantis administration and the House Speaker is hinting at subpoenas after Casey DeSantis’ “charity” appears to have been exposed as a slush-fund for campaign committees.

Albuquerque friends --- please stand in solidarity with UNM faculty and students this Thursday at noon.

Hold Marco Rubio in contempt and then see whether the administration can figure out how to comply with a court order.

Thank you!

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Exactly. Trump and Miller want to make El Salvador their Generalgouvernement, and Bukele is stepping up to be their Hans Frank.

June 2024. El Salvador. This is how it started.

More of this please

AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.

Yes, we're in constitutional crisis. Right now.

Who else AGREES with Max?! 🤚

Did anyone notice that Buekele didn’t wear a tie? I thought that outraged people when Zelensky didn’t

Good night, sleep well. See you all tomorrow!

90% of those Donald Trump sent to a death camp in one of the poorest countries on Earth have NO CRIMINAL RECORD in the United States or anywhere else. So what distinguishes any of us from those poor souls now imprisoned for life in a disgusting gulag run by a sadistic dictator?

Can’t say more strongly: they are claiming the power to disappear people with no recourse, to entirely remove anyone they want to, forever, with no ability to stop them. “Unamerican” doesn’t do it justice. Diametrically opposed to anything even remotely resembling a society we should support.

Units of the 93rd Brigade, together with the 5th Assault Brigade and Phoenix Border Detachment, successfully repelled a massive mechanized assault by Russian occupiers near Klishchiivka, Bakhmut.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I’m just saying…

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

BOOM 💥

Will congress, the courts, the people, or all of the above get him out of the presidency????? He has violated the Constitution and the courts. What are we doing ???

Let's do all we can to get him and all his ilk out of government permanently!!!

Today, Russians tried to break through the defense of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade using armored vehicles and infantry. Results: 4 APCs, 2 tanks, ~20 Russians, and 2 support vehicles destroyed.

Very true

The President just used the Oval Office to talk about his desire to send U.S. citizens to a prison hellscape in El Salvador. That’s not law and order—that’s unhinged. It’s not strength. It’s fucking sick. Republicans in Congress could stop this, but they won’t.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

What's happening right now in the Oval Office is absolutely disgusting.

In fairness, China's pronouncers of state propaganda have a much better game then America's.
