Share the media. The news is compromised. We're starting to boil over.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago. You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Party of weirdos

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Anybody else see a perfect metaphor here or is it just me? youtu.be/mDCmlDKt3Wk

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

OMB's Russell Vought wants to slash funding for NIH, which helped develop a "miracle drug" for cystic fibrosis that his daughter received. “We’re extremely grateful to live in a nation that leads the way on medical innovation,” Vought's wife wrote in a 2021 post. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hold the fuck on — the so-called “anti-woke” party has two daddies?

Surprise surprise… 📌 Trump shuts down the task force targeting Russian oligarchs.

Just awful: One of the inspector generals that Trump fired was examining Elon Musk's failures to meet reporting protocol designed to safeguard national security as a major recipient of Pentagon contracts. It's time to follow up on that. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1913...

Purrfekt

Rachel Maddow followed up on the scoop from @dfriedman.bsky.social and me that revealed Kash Patel was paid $25,000 last year by a filmmaker directly tied to Kremlin propaganda and disinformation operations for his participation in an anti-FBI documentary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pMt...

Elon Musk has been at the forefront of Trump administration efforts to gut programs designed to promote diversity. At the same time, Tesla, which Musk leads, has tried to appease critics who have accused the company of racial discrimination.

Rep. Dan Meuser says Palestinians are acting "like animals"

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

"A constitutional polycrisis"—that's it, right there.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things: 1. They know it is a terrible idea. 2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.

Corporate leaders who were fine with Trump sadistically imposing mass suffering on vulnerable groups as long as they got their tax cuts deserve every last bit of what this madman is now unleashing on them with these tariffs. Assholes.

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

This was the first use of implicit government force by Donald Trump to enforce an order he knows was illegal. It will not be the last.

This. 👇

BREAKING - TRUMP'S FRIDAY NIGHT MASSACRE Trump fires 17 inspectors general - all the internal govt enforcement officials for every major government agency and department This was ILLEGAL - firing an IG requires 30 day notice to Congress CONGRESS MUST ACT TO REINSTATE THEM, NOW

Elon Musk makes surprise appearance at AfD event in eastern Germany

Give that photographer a raise.

I love this

Sen Susan Collins (R-ME): “After careful consideration, I have decided to vote against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense”

"It was not a left-wing or a right-wing issue. I didn’t give up and I never took a ‘no’ for a ‘no’." Stop the Kindermoord was founded in the 1970s and helped the Netherlands become the cycling paradise it is today. Read the interview with co-founder Dr. Maartje Van Putten: ow.ly/8zhH50UICFK

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald Trump, you’re a disgrace as a human being. While you may have gotten the presidency, you’re still a disgrace. You’re a convicted felon, a pervert, and you treat your allies with disdain while you kiss up to Putin. Anytime, anywhere, Donald—we will take you on.

“I don't believe [Kash Patel] has an enemies list”

Amazing photo. 🛰️ 🪐 🌖 🔭 Jupiter and Saturn as Captured in a broad daylight by an astrophotographer. The astrophotographer used Nikon d5200 and Telescope Celestron 114eq to capture the two biggest gas giants in the solar system. This is indeed beautiful shot.

READ THIS. THEN READ IT AGAIN.

Traffic stops in Chicago's Black neighborhoods have drawn comparisons to the old stop-and-frisk tactics, with police conducting millions of stops in search of guns and evidence. CPD says stops are declining, but their numbers don’t tell the whole story: boltsmag.org/chicago...

The most moral and immoral American Presidents both initially only got one term. The moral President went on to a long, full life of great public service and extreme decency. The immoral President went on to commit crimes and more, and ran again to avoid jail time. And was given power again. USA.

This is a national security issue. It's not that the two men sound exactly alike and have the same opinions and mannerisms—or even that the fake identity often slips and admits to being Elon—it's that Elon's a DoD contractor who abuses drugs, has a fake identity and secretly communicates with Putin.

Right?

Jeffing: the run-walk method that can get you to the marathon finishing line

Die Welt is a very conservative newspaper. For its opinion editor to resign over an op-ed means all sorts of red lines have been crossed. The AfD is not just a right-wing party. It is so extreme that even figures like France’s Le Pen and Italy’s Salvini won’t work with it

So the world’s richest man, who grew up under apartheid in South Africa and now pulls the mentally deteriorating incoming U.S. president’s strings, has written an op-ed urging Germans to elect a neo-Nazi government. Got that?

Please read this heartbreaking account. If only 3/4 of it is true — and I think it’s much more— the Israel of my own beloved relatives has lost its mind, its heart, and its soul. Like David Schulman, “I can’t help asking myself: For this we created a Jewish state?” search.app/K445rnKW6NXy...
