The President of the United States repeatedly lying about American citizens and trying to lock them up in a pathetic attempt to cover up a botched renovation of the Reflection Pool that wasted millions of taxpayer dollars should be a much bigger story in the news.
Pirro’s motion to dismiss the Reflecting Pool indictment not only makes Trump look like a fool (see Chris’ screenshot) but also throws the Dept of the Interior (DOI) and the contractor under the bus. It’s quite rare to see DOJ tear into another agency like this.

This is a clear example of the DoJ being weaponised against a member of the public to support The Dear Leader's lies. Really shameful behaviour.
Meanwhile in Russia: state TV hosts Vladimir Solovyov and Dimitri Simes mocked and threatened America and Europe, exclaiming that Donald Trump and other Western leaders remain alive solely at Russia's discretion. Also, the weather — and robot commercials. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY2T...

According to Ukraine's acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha, their intelligence has detected that Russia is also taking part in the ongoing disinformation and disruption campaign targeting the EU and Spain with the so called "invasion of Ceuta". US and Russia vs EU.
Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · 5d agoTop US officials amplifying the disinformation and disruption campaign targeting Europe; the US is attempting to destablise Spain and produce a right wing ecosystem to oust the current government. The campaign mirrors Russia's strategy, is being pushed by Trump admin.
This looks like Turkmenistan. That honestly may be the point.

Trump has refused to protect blue states after natural disasters and now he's refusing to side with them after attacks from a country we're at war with. (Some of) America First
