The United States has never looked weaker or more ridiculous and incompetent to allies and enemies around the world than we do right now.
If the voters turn out in Nov it will be the 1st step toward making that happen. Taking back the House of Repres & Senate will make Trump impotent & his sycophants will start to scatter. Each one can be prosecuted by States 1st & after we get rid of #Trump in '28, by the federal govt.🗳️🇺🇸
Trump promised no new foreign wars, and MAGA can’t keep ignoring the Iran disaster. Stuart Stevens goes on MSNOW to share some hard truths:
Once again, we have passed a War Powers Resolution to END THIS ILLEGAL WAR! No more lives lost. No more taxpayer dollars wasted. No more laws broken. The House has spoken: 214-208. Now will our colleagues in the Senate across the aisle ACT to stand with us to end this war NOW!?
AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill. “Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”
Under no circumstances should the Senate confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/you-wanna-know-why-todd-blanche-should
BREAKING: President Donald Trump has fired all three remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent federal agency without a single commissioner and unable to take official action.
ICE may have moved off the front page, but another man is dead after an encounter with agents, and the administration is still defending detention without bond. This is why we keep watching, even when the headlines move on. Read today’s Civil Discourse: joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-still-...
Here’s the problem: we can no longer believe the government when it makes these kinds of statements after its agents kill someone. That’s a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Read the full analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
This guy right here scored 45 points tonight. The most points ever scored by a Knick in a finals game. Congrats, Jalen Brunson.
“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.
Iran is gloating over weak, poor negotiator Donald Trump giving them $25,000,000,000 simply to return things to where they were before Donald's pointless war. And all because Donald was too stupid to foresee Iran cutting off supplies of oil, which had devastating effects on Donald's poll numbers.
Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social at the CA state capitol: “We chanted ‘we will not go back’ — I burned a confederate flag outside the chamber to send a message we will not go back to the times in which our folks were met with Billy clubs & the blast of the fire hose…” 🇺🇸
President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”
Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
