"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

This is a really sick thing for the commander in chief to post

So he is asking the judge to let him ignore the court's order without suffering the consequences? 🤡

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche asked a federal judge Monday to spare him a $1,000-a-day fine, calling a contempt push against him "absurd." www.msn.com/en-ca/news/o...?

Wow -- Ken Paxton and his team abruptly shut down a news conference and bail after journalists try to ask him about his various scandals

Been saying AOC should run in 2028 since I saw her speak at the DNC in 2024. Every argument against it has echos of the arguments against Obama running in 2008.

"There are other capable progressives weighing a run in 2028," writes @sunraysunray.bsky.social. "However, none of them can do the two things AOC can do at once: run a serious national campaign as one of the most recognized figures in the country, and pull an entire movement into being behind it."

Last May: “Since Trump dropped the suit, this is not a settlement. It would be as if he set the fund up without filing a lawsuit in the first place. He’s just using the court as cover so he can say it’s legal because it’s a settlement. But it’s not. And don’t let anyone tell you that it is.”

NEW: Donald just STOLE $1.7B from us to pay insurrectionists. I have some important info about this. Please share widely.

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

The White House has released a report accusing the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution (particularly at the National Museum of American History) of being “radical activists” who cannot be trusted. The report is fueling speculation that the

Trump: “You have to respect the president. If you don’t respect the president, you’re going to have a problem.” Funny, I don’t recall this clown calling for the same considerations for Obama and Biden.

Hell yeah 👏🏽

“If Democrats win, Congress will do its job again” is a wild message from the current Speaker of the House

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

The Reflecting Pool paint is peeling badly. Visitors have reportedly been taking chunks of it home as “Trump failure” souvenirs. For a project that was touted as fixed and improved, the current condition is raising a lot of questions about the quality of the work and how taxpayer money was spent.

Couple things: 1. If the terms of the Iran deal being floated are accurate, it’s a complete US surrender and a total embarrassment. 2. Trump casually threatening to nuke Iran if the deal doesn’t go through is fucking insane.

Doing a rain dance. Come on, Mother Nature give the White House a good soaking tomorrow!

Y'All, repost *THIS*

The Trump administration is expected to shut down all USDA Climate Hubs unless Congress acts to protect them. “Shuttering the program will likely end up costing us far more than what we spend on it,” said @julianjonreyes.bsky.social in a statement:

Congress Must Protect Farmers from Trump Administration Cuts, Save USDA Climate Hubs

The Trump administration reportedly intends to shut down all USDAClimate Hubs. Congress has a critical opportunity to protect them. Statement by UCS.

Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.
