Max Rose just laid out the next 90 days in three sentences: Oppose the war in Iran. Expose Trump's failures on affordability. And hold this administration accountable for their horrific corruption. That's the mission. Nothing else.
No, taking other countries’ sovereign resources is illegal

The rank of general is not a costume. It is earned through service, sacrifice and the responsibility of leading troops. Donald Trump avoided the draft five times. Now he posts AI images of himself beside Patton and MacArthur. He can play general. I retired as one. Leadership Matters!!
Bonuses go up when propensity to serve goes down. Not sure the strategy gets credit for a transformation.
Stars and Stripes@starsandstripes.bsky.social · 5d agoThe Air National Guard has launched a “Summer Surge Incentive,” offering $7,500 bonuses as part of its strategy to transform recruiting and retention.
What I have learned in Brussels is that 3 days is not enough time to taste all the beers.
Todd Blanche is Donald Trump's personal attorney, not the people’s attorney. A vote to confirm him as U.S. Attorney General is a vote for corruption, lawlessness, and lies.
The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists who oppose the Trump administration's deportation agenda. n.pr/3TyDYsK
The DOJ is increasingly charging ICE protesters with criminal conspiracy

They’ve added trillions in new spending. None of that has gone to Social Security or Medicaid. They will now say both are broke and must be cut. America needs new leadership.👇🏼
PBS News@pbsnews.org · last wk.Americans’ Social Security benefits will have to be cut by roughly a quarter in six years due to depleted funds, according to a June report from the Social Security Board of Trustees. That’s months sooner than the group had estimated in 2025. https://to.pbs.org/4f39DL0

Move fast and break things- break government. Break promises. Break services. Break commitment. Break a professional civil service. Idiot.
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 3w ago‘I got carried away’: Elon Musk expresses regret about Doge and wading into Trump’s orbit
But don’t ignore that he’s going to use every dirty trick he can to sow doubt. I take it very seriously that he’s willing to bend/break the law to keep his cronies in office. Start with NOT confirming Blanche— force him to work with a less character-flawed AG.
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 3w agoTrump's voter fraud conspiracy speech was a total flop even with his base. Nobody believes him, nobody takes him seriously.

Researchers who spoke with The War Horse said a new study makes sense if at least some anecdotal evidence found problems in mixed-gender combat units.
Hegseth ordered a new study of women in combat. Critics say it’s built to reach one conclusion.

Tonight was a reminder: The work to protect our democracy continues. We, the people, remain focused on protecting every voter’s freedom to participate in our democracy.
Reminder: the GOP won the House, the Senate and the presidency in 2024.

Thank You ABC and NBC for not lending your credible platforms to a President determined to ruin our democracy for money and power

the International Criminal Court was created to ensure that no one is above the law: no president, no prime minister, no general. It draws from one of the core lessons of the Second World War, as formulated in Nuremberg: Crimes are committed by men, not by abstract entities (states). Think about it
Hey @nytpitchbot.bsky.social How about a new reality TV series called “Pearly Gates” where Saint Peter videos people trying to explain why being a shi**y human should not disqualify them from entering, and recording their shock that there isn’t a fast-pass line like they always paid for on earth

Just spoke with Mitch McConnell. He said slow and steady wins the race like, you know, a turtle. I tried to tell him it’s not a race, we don’t need to win against each other to really “win” but he couldn’t really hear me over the oxygen.
May this someday be what greets Fox News viewers
OSINTRadar@osintradar.bsky.social · last mo.After 16 years of Viktor Orbán's rule, Hungary's state television has suspended its news broadcasts for restructuring.

Dear America: PLEASE WATCH

Dr. Richardson put out an amazing video explaining what socialism,fascism and communism really are. It was laid out so methodical & well stated. I'd encourage people to watch.
