Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

Vote tomorrow Humans of Michigan! Clean water is life. Vote for it. 🌊🌊

“Under Trump, everyone just grabs whatever they can as quickly as they can.” And we remember the word DJT used bragging about what (other than money) he liked to”grab”. No consequences though. Why then not confirm the concealer-in-chief of the Epstein files? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Russland: Los, Marokkaner, auf nach Spanien, das destabilisiert europäische Demokratie. Marokkaner: Wir dürfen nach Spanien? Yay! Spanien: Nope, husch, zurück. Europa: Ja, wirklich bitter, jetzt müssen wir offenbar doch die Faschisten wählen.

Spanien hat jedes andere europäische Land bei territorialen Verletzungen/ Krisen unterstützt - Finnland gegen Russland, Dänemark als es um Grönland ging und Ost/Zentraleuropa bei den großen Fluchtbewegungen 2015. Und diese Länder hauen jetzt auf Spanien hin statt die Rolle Marokkos zu hinterfragen.

Irregulär, unkontrolliert, illegal?! Es gab in der Bundesrepublik mal ein Asylrecht, das diesen Namen verdiente - die Unterzeichner lehnen aber fast alle Grenzübertritte ab - und merken nicht, dass sie es sind, die Grenzen überschreiten. Es ist Trump Sprech. AfD Sprech. Und soll EU Sprech werden.

Eine Krise bietet immer die Chance, über sich hinauszuwachsen. Die EU allerdings schrumpft gerade zu einer Ansammlung angstgetriebener, kurzsichtiger Egoisten.

She voted for a justice whom the FBI would not subject to thorough investigations when he was credibly accused of sexual assault, and she was fine with it.

Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a Republican who supports abortion rights, endorsed Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court in 2018. That has emerged as a major issue in her first re-election campaign since Roe v. Wade was overturned. nyti.ms/4xatnT9

As I've said many times, Republicans want to frame the election about a choice between parties' policies while Democrats' best election strategy is to make the election a referendum on Trump. Reporters and pundits focused on the few DSA candidates are providing in-kind contributions to Republicans

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · last wk.

If the entire Democratic Party is being asked by the press and pundits about a few DSA candidates in NYC, it seems like the entire Republican Party should be asked about their colleague who has been credibly accused -- by another colleague's daughter -- of repeated acts of violence.

Durch die Umschichtungen entsteht letztlich der verheerende Eindruck, die Perspektiven möglicher Täter seien wichtiger als die Unterstützung alltäglich bedrohter und diskriminierter Minderheiten.

No. It’s not Mamdani that supports the 9/11 attackers. Mamdani is not friends with MBS. That’s Trump who is besties with the Saudis especially smitten with MBS. He’s even selling our chips and sharing nuclear technology. Fox business anchor is lying or oblivious.

Nochmal: Der Innenminister aus der bayrischen Kleinpartei, die nur lokal wählbar ist, kooperiert mit Islamisten, denen er diplomatischen Status verliehen hat, die diesen Terror gegen die Bevölkerung finanzieren und supporten. Das mal bitte sacken lassen.

250.000 Einwohner wurden allein in Frankreich bereits evakuiert. Eine VIERTELMILLION. Das ist so, als würde ganz Linz und dann noch Bregenz dazu vor Flammen fliehen müssen. Unpackbar. Und wir sind erst bei 1,5 Grad…

Lieblingsstelle: “Wir bevorzugen nicht Asymmetrie gegenüber Symmetrie – das wäre absurd. Und wir interessieren uns auch für die Ungerechtigkeit mancher Asymmetrie und die Frage, wie negative Nebenfolgen vermieden werden können.” Negative NEBENFOLGEN von … Ungleichheit.

A 13-year-old Venezuelan boy tried to stay calm as he translated the words his mother could not understand during their immigration check-in on Friday morning. He began to cry after he was told to tell his mother that the entire family was being detained.
