Rockbridge, co-founded by JD Vance & Chris Buskirk, faces a Brazilian criminal investigation into foreign interference for Bolsonaro. Police will probe for paid political posts, platform manipulation and whether support was tied to access to rare earths.

Waking up to: Netanyahu's party on 27 seats BUT his bloc only on 55, 6 shy of what he needs for a coalition, and the parties opposing him on 65, 15 to Joint List and Ra'am. Bibi is spinning this as a win, of course, and gunning for a "national, right-wing govt" www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

First, they are not windmills. They were wind turbines. Nothing is getting milled. But he's too stupid to know that. Second, his obsession is because he sued Scotland over wind turbines in the sea outside his golf course. And he lost. Third, plenty of countries harnessing wind power are solvent.

Any town that agrees to host a Trump convention or rally that doesn't ask this notorious deadbeat for money in advance is ridiculously incompetent. Trump has stiffed MANY cities. It's a lesson he learned when he didn't pay his subcontractors during construction of buildings.

Thank you to the Pretti family for their courage. Minnesotans have not forgotten.
Alex Pretti's father delivered a message to U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen and Attorney General Todd Blanche: “Look in your heart and do what is right, share the evidence now so prosecutors can follow the facts and hold these men accountable. Do your job and stop shielding Alex’s killers.”

The US government poured all its resources into fabricating evidence that day laborer Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a criminal (all because he embarrassed the despot) even as it now rolls out the red carpet for an actual criminal who happens to be an ally of Trump
“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio . From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.” - Simon Levy … WTF???? 1/

Love ya, Kamala Harris, but hard disagree. Impeach in the House. Don’t care if the Senate doesn’t convict. If I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, I’d feel duty-bound to impeach in the House. To at least try. And to be as much of a thorn in the side to this administration as I could be.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

After the midterms, can we revoke them? The U.S. State Department says it will grant visas to defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family, who fled Brazil after his election loss.
Good grief.
Trump: "So I'm studying him. And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just wantasink. And then I looked at his feet & they were massive. I made the mistake of studying his anatomy. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is gonna qualify."

Things have changed, public sentiment has changed. The people want, nay, the people demand justice.
