Imagine spending decades building alliances to protect national security, only to watch a president treat democratic partners like enemies and authoritarian rulers like honored guests. That’s not some brilliant geopolitical chess move. That’s a damn problem. 🗣️ #JulesUnfiltered

Trump calls Somali Americans "garbage" and said today about Ilhan Omar: “She comes from a country that is a non-country." If he'd been alive in 1915, he would've said that about Italians. If it was 1850, he would've said it about the Irish. He traffics in ethnic hate. We have to stop him.

In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

ICE is opening a new prison in Alexandria, LA dedicated to detaining & deporting unaccompanied minors. If that isn't horrifying enough, it's being built on a site linked to high levels of "forever chemicals," or PFAS, which can cause health problems over time, especially in children.

This is Trump and the Republican Party’s “special envoy” tasked with bringing about an end to Putin’s war of aggression- exactly who they wanted because this Republican administration is on the side of Russia and Putin. We have never been more morally bankrupt.

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

In Arizona alone, a staggering 450,000 people—including more than 100,000 kids—have lost food assistance since Trump's "big beautiful bill" passed. Nationwide, 4.5 million have been pushed off SNAP to fund tax cuts for the rich. That there aren't uprisings in every city, every day, is incredible.

Even for a regime with more scandals than you can count, this ranks near the top as one of the most egregious and criminal abuses of presidential power in history.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Donald Trump is many things. Demented, grifter, racist, misogynist, bigot, xenophobe, narcissist, inhumane, hateful, corrupt, convicted felon, criminal, liar, etc. A traitor who commits treason would be among the worst. He’s responsible for every life lost in his unilateral war. Murderer.

Ukrainian intelligence confirms what many laypeople on BlueSky had already suspected: Russia is using satellites to help Iran target American bases in the Middle East. And Donald Trump will do *nothing* about this because he cares about Putin far more than he cares about American troops.

Trump sued the reporters for billions and spent months calling the story fake news, yet stands there smirking and throwing his hands up while they accept an award for uncovering his Epstein ties. The shameless narcissism and complete lack of remorse is absolutely staggering.

Thought we didn’t have money in the USA for healthcare. Yet the Defense Department’s latest estimate puts the cost of the war with Iran at $37.5 billion. Funny how we’re always told we can’t afford to invest in people’s health, but somehow tens of billions of dollars for war can be found.
