It’s interesting to note that Putin refused to meet with Ratcliffe but is having a public meeting with Kushner and Witkoff with cameras and media present.

There is no “right” or “wrong” for this creep. Just “legal” and “illegal”, and as the president’s defense lawyer he will argue that nothing is illegal.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoWELKER: How is Trump's pardons of 172 people who assaulted police officers consistent w/your pledge to always protect law enforcement? BLANCHE: The president's pardon powers are not limited W: But do you believe it was wrong to pardon those people? B: Absolutely not. That's the president's right
In the Senate, I’ll be laser-focused on bringing down costs and cleaning up corruption in Washington because those aren’t Democratic or Republican issues. They matter to all 3.2 million Iowans.
There are LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of reasons why the NYT has lost so much respect and credibility over the past few years. But THIS is definitely one of the reasons why.
The ads for Democrats write themselves.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
It’s hilarious how the old guard is consistently and predictably surprised by the abject corruption, while neophytes like me can see the writing in the wall. Mitch will suffer a “setback” between now and Aug 3rd and his death will be announced after the appointment deadline. PROVE ME WRONG
Adam Bonin@adambonin.bsky.social · last mo.There is absolutely no reason why the Attending Physician of the United States Congress—and Rear Adm. Dr. Brian P. Monahan has held that position since 2009—would be complicit in a cover-up. I know this is boring, folks, but Sen. Mitch McConnell is still alive and not in a coma or whatever.
And boom goes the dynamite.

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 2mo agoPolitico: FBI Director Kash Patel is expected to visit Russia in mid-October, with stops in Moscow and St. Petersburg. He’s reportedly set to be hosted by the FSB, Russia’s main domestic security agency and the successor to the Soviet-era KGB.
This is more than fair. Dems should take every chance to celebrate a win publicly.
Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social · 2mo agoMost of the World Cup games were in blue cities. Thousands of complimentary videos. An amazing event handled incredibly well. Not a word from Dems taking a victory lap
The same people who cry "election interference" are hiding a senator's dead body to keep their majority.
Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.
Sen. Ron Johnson on Mitch McConnell: "I just heard from a source that was an older photo"
sometimes you get two bags of chips out of the vending machine I guess
If it turns out Mitch McConnell was dead, in a coma, brain-dead or otherwise incommunicado on the day an analyst for CNN, Scott Jennings, claimed on national TV that McConnell was making calls and discussing issues of the day with colleagues, CNN must fire Jennings *immediately*.
Maine U.S. Sen candidate Graham Platner says he has formally withdrawn his candidacy, posting a letter to the Sec of State requesting removal from consideration. The letter thanks supporters, calls for continuing the movement behind his campaign, and ends: “F**k ICE. Free Palestine. Up the Hearts.”
ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.
The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti
You’re gonna be ok when I quote this post when the Platner campaign officially signs the paperwork to withdraw from the Maine Senate Election right?
Nathaniel Pendleton@npendleton.bsky.social · 2mo agoSigned paperwork to start, & signed paperwork again to officially “withdraw”, aka resigning, from holding the office of Maine 2026 Dem nominee. He hasn’t resigned yet. (Also you are a bad faith distinction without difference troll.)
The “Graham Platner only SUSPENDED his campaign, but he hasn’t WITHDRAWN yet” people are suspiciously similar to the “We live in a REPUBLIC not a DEMOCRACY” people.
Brooklyn American@brooklynamerican.bsky.social · 2mo agoJust a reminder. Platner said he's suspending his campaign. He has not yet filed paperwork to get off the ballot. To be fair he said he's going to but he doesn't seem like the most trustworthy guy
I worry that the dysfunctional vetting process that gave us Platner is the same dysfunctional vetting process that is willing to promote Dempsey so hurriedly.
Platner should drop out. But y’all know that the Rs are just going to switch to “The Dems nominated a candidate that their voters didn’t even vote for!”, right? Just like Kamala. This doesn’t just end with Platner dropping out.
England red card.. So does the king call fifa now? Is that how this works?
What comes around, goes around. Let’s all remember this so it can be applied to FOX news in 2 years.
Perhaps I’m a fence sitter just trying to find a home after the primary. Safe to assume that having a majority is more important than intra-party conflicts. I’ll happily vote for a DSA candidate as strongly as I’ll vote for a centrist candidate. Both are better choices when the alternate is MAGA.

This is what they said about Jews. This is what they said about Italians. This is what they said about the Irish. He is definitely done being careful; the House Majority Whip has decided to go back to 1920s nativism, full stop.
