These people lived in the same house for 4 yrs. They weren't hiding, the child welfare agencies chose not to look for them. If we can give First Energy 1.3 bil, we can fund home checks. Quit cutting our social service budgets.

Vinton County isn't far from me, here in Appalachian Ohio, which is beautiful & full of some of the nicest people you will ever meet. But there is poverty & there is neglect but I guarantee you the people in Vinton County knew these kids existed. Why nothing was done sooner is the question.

The authorities failed to do their job. These children were all born in hospitals in the area but our state has cut funding for public schools & diverted it to private schools instead, this isn't an accident or oversight. Everyone in town knew these kids existed except CS.

When I hear Vinton County officials say "We didn't know these kids existed" I want to scream. This is Ohio with over 20 yrs of Republicans running the state. No safety net, no money for social services & when this happens they act like they tried but the parents thwarted them. Bullshit.

This is insane. This is why I hate centrists. They're just skipping along like "nothing to see here" while they create a military merger with Israel that can't be undone. Where is the oversight? Few if any Americans even know about this let alone support it if they did. STOP THE MERGER NOW

NEW The House has rejected Rep. Thomas Massie’s amendment to stop the integration of the United States military with Israel’s under Section 219 (formerly Section 224) of the NDAA.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Touché ❤️

I still can't believe that Dear Leader pardoned ~1,500 members of Antifa, BLM, and rogue FBI agents as quite literally his first action as the 47th President of the United States? Why would Trump do that? Aren't those his sworn enemies? Does this mean that it WAS actually HIS supporters on 1/6?

Am I the only person who thinks it would be hilarious if ppl dressed in elf costumes went & danced around the arch?

Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social

Went to the Great American State Fair out of morbid curiosity. It’s not a total disaster, just ramshackle and kind of boring. The Temu arch is an embarrassment, as are all the weird MAGA cult displays (including a mock-up Trump passport). People working the event were nice and I felt bad for them.

It is incredibly wrong for Jimmy Kimmel to joke about my husband dying. It’s not like he’s Paul Pelosi or Rob and Michele Reiner. by Melania Trump

I'm having trouble understanding the disconnect with the journalists being so appalled at "political violence" because it affected them at their little love fest with the one of the most violent administrations in history. They're clamoring for better security. For themselves. And the president.

Clown show in a clown country with a clown president and clown politicians attended and covered by a clown press corps at a time when the actual people are sick to death of clowns.

As a DC reporter, I don't endorse mindless war, militarized cities, illegal abductions, defunded medical research, government insider trading, and mass pardons of violent criminals. But in the name of our norms, tonight I will break bread and share laughs with the president who did all of this.

It will never not be enraging that when interest rates were close to zero the US government did not invest in infrastructure and green energy bc the GOP was obsessed with austerity.

We must use US taxpayer dollars to backstop the UAE Which is facing economic problems caused by the war Trump started and doesn't know how to win A war encouraged by leaders of the UAE Who have given hundreds of millions in bribes to Trump, his family, and associates

Hassett on a bailout for the UAE: "The UAE has been an incredibly valuable ally throughout this effort, and I'm sure the Treasury Secretary will make every effort to help them out should that be necessary"

This is what moral clarity sounds like. Not piety as branding, not religion as cover for power, but a direct warning against those who weaponize the sacred for profit, domination, and political control.

For the last 2 days, I keep hearing cable news hinting that Vance was some sort of hero for saying he didn't think it was a good idea, ignoring the fact he followed with "but I'll support you". To me it just shows how desperate they are to find any resistance in Trump's cabinet.

I am already mentally preparing for “VP Vance, who boldly opposed Mr. trumps Iran war” in 2028 lol

I was unpleasantly surprised to have my taxi ride interrupted by Dr. Drew selling ivermectin—which doesn’t work to treat respiratory viruses—at a 600% markup & claiming falsely that vaccines are dangerous & don’t work. When does quackery exceed board standard tolerability limits?

So the only reward for voting Republican is an assurance of more retribution. "But we'll punish the brown people, isn't that enough?"

Steve Bannon on the Midterms: We're going to hold the House, and hold the Senate, and have Trump come back to mass deportations, right? Mass deportations.

So it's voter intimidation when two guys from the New Black Panther Party showed up at the polls in Philly that time, but not when these guys do it?

Wow. I didn't know this even happened. Dad being such a grandiose asshole sure takes the heat off the kids. Why is Barron so lonely that he's seeking out relationships with Russian chicks on social media? Oh, yeah because his dad's such an asshole.

Whenever he screws up, he either blames Democrats or his own employees. I can't tell you how many times I've heard my MAGA family blame individuals, Fauci being a great example, for things he did. Supposedly he's a genius, but often duped by his underlings who were secretly part of the "deep state".

Trump: "All of the sudden the war starts, and they start shooting at Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman. Everybody was shocked, including us."

I don't want the dissidents in Trump's cabinet to resign, I want them to stay & quietly convince a few others to invoke the 25th amendment. Trump is insane & is bringing us to the brink of a world war. This country is in grave danger & we need our leaders to show some courage.
