France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
Blanche only met with them because Tom Tillis made this a condition of getting his yes vote. What a sellout. Tillis talks tough, but it’s just like one of the other confirmations, Hegseth I think, where he made one weak demand and then gave up his yes.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3w agoStatement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."
Trump will lie about the 2020 election. Trump will lie about the 2026 election. But, if Trump claims powers he does not have, or tries to undermine free and fair election, we will sue and we will win. If you doubt me, take a look at my record in beating him and his allies in court.
Ding, ding, ding. I would pay good money for any reporter to ask him that and watch him sputter. Another easy question would be: “So you’re saying YOUR administration failed in 2020 to stop election fraud because YOU were in power then.” Or: “If Democrats are so good at rigging elections, why 1/2
Putin knew Trump can be easily manipulated. He has fulfilled Putin’s wildest dreams in terms of undermining NATO, weakening us militarily and economically and destroying us from within.

We should not have to live this way. He has stolen 11 years of our lives. We should not have to live every day under assault psychologically by a deeply disturbed POTUS. This is all happening because REPUBLICANS will not do a thing to check his insanity and destruction.
The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born. Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care. Disgraceful. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/211508/...
Top African Referee Barred From Entering the U.S. For World Cup
Omar Artan was set to become the first Somalian to officiate a World Cup match. He was denied entry to the United States on Monday at Miami International Airport.

One of Ken Paxton’s former defense attorneys just endorsed James Talarico. That should tell Texans everything they need to know.
Pardoning the white collar criminals and detained the innocent. What a fucked up timeline.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?
“Based on the most recent data available, the vast majority of people at the facility have no conviction (88.3%) and the large majority have no criminal history whatsoever (70.5%).”

Do people really think that Latinos are going to vote for a white billionaire over a Latino man with a long history of government service? Latinos are fleeing the Republican Party right now. Most Steyer voters seem to be white progressives (like Bernie’s who never captured black voters’ confidence).
The separation from reality in the Republican Party today - vaccines are poison; Iran can be conquered; January 6th was staged by Democrats - should really really worry people. These folks just aren’t fit to govern anymore.

Remembering my grandfather, George St. Pierre, who spent three years fighting in the army in Europe during World War II and my friend, Robert Fletcher, who was a POW in the Korean war when he was just 19 years old and spent many a mornings in our favorite diner. #MemorialDay

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.
Members of the military that have been sent to fight this war with Iran, can’t just decide to go home to avoid tough things. Mike Johnson and John Thune sent Congress home early for the holiday at a time of war to avoid a vote that Trump will tantrum about. Disrespectful and disgraceful.
I just watched the last episode of #StephenColbert and was struck by the joy and gratitude expressed by him and everyone else who was there to experience it with him. It is both such an emblematic symbol for these times, Trump and his petty, dark soul being a thief of joy being a thief of joy and a
For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.
Because the MAGA Republican Cult of Trump. Everything that is wrong with our politics today.
So now we’ve gone from “make a deal and end the war or I’ll blow you to hell” to “please sign this letter to think about maybe ending the war in the next 30 days” How embarrassing.
Everyone knows "1776" was *the* battle cry of the January 6 insurrectionists, right? I wrote a book on the armed rebellion Trump incited, and if you missed that his Terrorist Slush Fund is $1.776B *explicitly* to signal its aim of making MAGA terrorists rich, that's... a big miss.
A lot of newer followers often ask me who Tina was, the dog that means so much to me. This is her beautiful story A lot of older followers will also enjoy seeing her big, beautiful face I'm sure.
It’s not that the president has some mysterious ability to “do whatever he wants” It’s that Senators are choosing not to stop him, even though they could
This @ft graphic shows that trump suddenly got very interested in trading stocks
