He needs a distraction from his failed tariffs, his failed war in Iran, his failed economic policy, and his increasingly debilitating physical condition

The courts are doing everything they can to keep elections fair. I think we will likely see more bomb threats - the 2024 model, and potentially see people trying to prevent voting. That’s why I’m urging everyone to vote early if at all possible. We’re going to win. But it’s going to be stupid.

We really have to consider the possibility that we elected the dumbest motherfucker in America. Twice. Do better, people.

Yes. To be clear, data centers are probably inevitable. But they aren’t inevitably in the middle of cities and they need to be self-sustaining, not resource-sucking money pits.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. I see WHY you feel that way, but I think the reality is that the nation is currently being run by the dumbest fucking people on the planet.

I thought he handled it pretty well. He seems to understand that there is no actual reason behind Trump’s renewed tariffs - just a demented idiot looking for a distraction from his failed war.

Just trying to distract from the fact that they control all 3 branches of government and they’re royally fucking everything up. Expecting a migrant caravan any time now.

Massive recession? Possible depression? 2008 looks like a day at the park? I don’t think people realize how much potential trouble we’re in right now if they don’t figure this out soon - particularly with the Houthis closing Bab-el-Mandeb.

I don’t anticipate it going that far, but all I really have to say is that if the American people allow that without national, sustained protest - I’m talking economy in a gridlock protests - shame on us. I don’t see how that could possibly end without violence, and nobody besides Trump wants that.

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

Congressional Republicans don’t think he’s healthy enough to run the country - they’re just too terrified of his base to actually say anything about it.

They’re going to try to cheat. We’re going to win anyway. But only if we do our jobs. We can’t afford for anyone to take this election off - this needs to be the biggest midterm defeat in history.

After Months of War, Trump Says Iran Has Right to Nuclear Program newrepublic.com/post/212003/... via @newrepublic.com

What makes my heart heavy is that 13 servicemembers and a school full of girls died for no reason except to attempt to boost a sad old man’s ego

The right is constantly infuriated every time the FBI puts out a report that accurately states that about 75% of domestic terrorism comes from the far right. Only about 4% is from the left. Antifa is not a thing. The rest of the violence is generally anti-Muslim or antisemitic or just a crazy guy.

Say hello to a very special mom and calf! 👋🐋 Southern Right Whale calves are sometimes born mostly white, slowly darkening as they grow. Seeing them glide right past the boat is pure magic. ✨😎☺️💙

TOMORROW!!! #NoKingsDay 🇺🇸

This is a wonderful recap by @chrisgeidner.bsky.social of the furious 24 hours of litigation & action resulting in Trump's name finally coming off the Kennedy Center--& an appreciation of the win And Chris kindly shouts out the legal team here at @democracydefendersaction.org & our WLG cocounsel

Couple things: 1. If the terms of the Iran deal being floated are accurate, it’s a complete US surrender and a total embarrassment. 2. Trump casually threatening to nuke Iran if the deal doesn’t go through is fucking insane.

It’s dead…ish. The slush fund was never the point - it was the immunity from investigation and audit for Trump. The slush fund was just a happy grifting opportunity. That said, if people quit paying attention, they will 100% try to bring it back because they want to grift.

It’s 100% a national security crisis and should be treated as such. POTUS is falling asleep on camera multiple times a week, and the GOP is (publicly) pretending like everything is fine. Privately, they’re panicking, but they’re also cowards, so they won’t say or do anything about it.

I don’t know that she’ll actually resign. I think she knows she’s the only one keeping the administration halfway on the rails. To be fair, everyone should be pissed about Pulte. He used private financial information to go after Trump’s enemies, what will he do with our most sensitive secrets?

1. For the SECOND TIME IN SIX MONTHS, a foreign real estate development led by Jared Kushner has been derailed by a GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION SCANDAL and mass protests. Follow along for all the gory details. 🧵 popular.info/p/kushners-a...

Senate majority leader John Thune sounds like he's had it with Trump. In a departure from the past 18 months, Thune has broken with Trump on a string of recent controversies. It's a sign that lame-duck Trump's sway with congressional Republicans is waning.

They’re hiding wounded in action for sure - there were several unreported flights back to the US that resulted in transports to Walter Reed. I think it would be harder for them to hide death numbers because family members would speak out. They’re 100% lying about damaged bases, though.

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯 Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

The decision by Vance to withhold over $1 billion in Medicaid payments owed to California-made with scant evidence that the state is refusing to investigate fraud-will harm thousands of Americans It’s hard NOT to believe this is a politically motivated decision

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

Deaths of at least six people believed to be due to heat inside shipping container in Texas #TheGuardian

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not. That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

BREAKING: A third federal appeals court has now rejected the Trump administration's policy that subjects millions of people to mandatory immigration detention in violation of immigration laws and due process.    The 6th Circuit ruling today is another big victory for immigrants' rights.

We never lack the funds, just the will to spend them on our own people.

It happened again. The most corrupt administration in history.

I went to see this excellent movie today .. soooo beautiful

Did you see th following from @joycewhitevance.bsky.social‬? A FL GOP Sheriff, Grady Judd, announced the arrest of 266 in a sex trafficking scheme & minced no words. He ID’d influencer Craig Long, who he said moved in high circles including with Trump, holding up a picture of Long with Trump.

500 is closer to what I’ve been hearing. They were hiding a lot of TBIs. They’re also vastly under reporting the bases and hardware that were damaged - CNN did a good job on that reporting this week.

UNFUN FACT: Americans will spend half a billion dollars more on gas in the next 24 hours than they did in March.

A new strain of the Streisand Effect has been discovered...

Up to 14 million people-including 4 million children-will likely die because Elon Musk destroyed USAID And he actually BRAGGED about it Then there’s the cancer research he halted, the benefits he ended and the jobs he terminated Never forget the destruction this monster has visited upon the world

IMHO, MAGA has a lot of apologizing to do. Their continued votes for a madman is what got us here.

Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. has financial ties to both Polymarket & Kalshi — and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market. Meanwhile, Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets. Follow the money.
