the next president has a duty to the country to prove that “tax immunity” is a completely made up thing that doesnt exist. they need to do this through intense prosecution to signal to future leaders what will happen if they try this

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d ago

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

One thing Trump could do that costs him nothing and saves Ukrainian civilian lives without touching US PAC interceptor stocks is pressure South Korea to sell air defense to Ukraine. Allies would pay. It is an obvious win-win, but Trump won't do it because Putin wouldn't like it

Obviously this is a blatant, bigoted dog-whistle for Islamophobes & xenophobes & white supremacists. But it’s also quite literally the opposite of what the Framers intended, brought into the Constitution, & argued for as our founding ideals. A quick thread: 🗃️

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

Illegal wars: those aren't accomplishments. Money Laundering: that's a crime, not an accomplishment. What about taking away due process, civil rights? Nope. Those aren't accomplishments. El-Sayed has real goals worth fighting for. Vance is a corrupt pear shaped loser.🍐 Note the differences.⚖️💙💐

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

“.. People really effing hate data centers,” El-Sayed said at a July event. @politico.com #MIsen www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

One of the biggest fallings of our pathetic mainstream media is they NEVER demand Vance have to answer for his outright unabashed hateful bigotry. This is the man that started the smearing of Haitians in Ohio. He continues here. He’s never questioned or called out for it. He’s the VP. A disgrace

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

What is it I keep reading? No candidate will take you exactly were you want to go. You find and support the ones that are going in that direction and will get you closer. Each person can bring you closer and closer to the ideal.

🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 Former senior officials from the UK, France, Germany and Russia met in Vienna to explore potential conditions for peace talks to end Moscow’s war on 🇺🇦Ukraine, - Bloomberg

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Held a meeting with our military, Ministry of Defense, Security Service of Ukraine, GUR and Office. First: a report by Mykhailo Drapaty, Skybyuk and Khmara on the situation at the front and key supply needs. The most attention now, of course, is on Kostiantynivka and Slovyansk.

Last night, russia launched 24 missiles and waves of drones at Ukraine. Not a single missile was intercepted. In Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast, 17 people were killed and more than 40 injured. The attack destroyed some of Ukraine’s largest warehouses and logistics hubs serving major retail chains.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: It was a heavy strike – 24 ballistic missiles, 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles, and another 115 drones, a significant number of them jet-powered. Video from Kyiv, Ukraine. 🇷🇺Russia is a terrorist state. 🤡putin is a war criminal.

"A North Korean missile unit has begun deploying to western Russia and could be equipped with 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers for strikes against Ukraine, ​an official at Ukraine's military intelligence agency said“

The Ukrainian Gov needs to abandoned any gov buildings/offices still in use and move all gov functions to other locations. Russia is going to attack the Verkhovna Rada building (Ukrainian Parliament). It's a matter of time. Both countries out of air defense. Both have plenty of offensive capability.
