Russian state TV: “I can’t rule out an alliance between Russia & 🇺🇸— Americans have just demonstrated they won’t protect anything.” They fantasize about attacking Europe now that Trump destroyed NATO — and push Trumpian disinfo about Alex Pretti & Minnesota. H/T @juliadavisnews.bsky.social

"ADMIRAL ADDERALL IS TAKING ON WATER" had me giggling like a school girl
Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about. What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars. We're paying for the torture of children. I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!
Now, if only we could make this happen right now and get Trump and Vance out of office. Side note: doesn’t have to be Liz. open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.
