Raw Story: Trump celebrated the nation's 250th anniversary by taking to Truth Social to make sure Americans knew he thinks Sen. Jon Ossoff looks like Pee-wee Herman. I doubt Jon Ossoff cares what this fascist fuck thinks. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteYourOssoff

It’s Monday morning. It can only mean one thing.
Worse yet, we have a president who's brain dead.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 3mo agoTrump: The ceasefire is unbelievably weak. It's on life support. Life support is not a good thing. Do you agree? I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support where the doctor walks in and says, 'Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living.'

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.
I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is
I wonder what negotiations JD and Jared will f*ck up next. Any guesses?
Your honor, I would like to enter this evidence as exhibit A.
US media needs to start calling Trump's shit out too! He's trying to control all of it except some independent news sources.
But he would have a harder time lying about winning. We need to come out in numbers so large this year and in 2028 that there is no doubt.
I assume Orban conceded because the opposition's victory is too staggeringly large to deny. It's important for us to remember that, were he in Orban's position, Trump would never concede, no matter how large the margin.
Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu · 4mo agoOrban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
The key to democracy is showing up in large numbers
