This was like his 3rd glitch during the speech where he just randomly stops mid-sentence and makes a weird noise or, in this case, just opens his mouth and freezes for 3 seconds while saying nothing, then continues. Pretty sad that TV networks refuse to cover this situation.

The humanitarian Putin bombed more civilians today. Maybe Witkoff should spend a couple weeks in Kyiv to see first hand how much of a humanitarian his friend in Moscow is.

Witcoff calling Putin a "humanitarian" is one of the most shameful moments in the history of American diplomacy. Putin is a fucking criminal and a murderer. No wonder Trump likes him, they have so many things in common.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

An American president would tell Putin to fuck off. An American president would tell Putin to get the fuck out of Ukraine. An American president would stand with Ukraine. Trump however is not an American president. He works for Putin. So he’ll do what Putin tells him to do.👇

BREAKING WSJ: Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, Trump, and Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict that would favor Moscow.

The Washington Post reviewed a Heritage Foundation database of voter fraud cases and found 85 cases relating to allegations of noncitizens voting between 2002 and 2023. 85…over TWO DECADES. This entire administration is built on lies.

What has happened to our country where animals like this are allowed to beat women in public and then walk away with a smirk on his face ???? Russell Dickart is his name.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Where are OTHER FORMER PRESIDENTS? Where are Retired Members of Congress? Where are members of the Retired Military? Where is the National Guard? Where are Representatives of All the Great Religions? SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING BEFORE YOU CAN’T say anything ANYMORE What does this 🇺🇸 MEAN to you?

FUN FACT: The Bible doesn't say *anything* about abortion. Ever. Well, except for the time God provides a handy recipe for a magic potion to induce an involuntary one. Numbers 5:11-31

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

All Republicans have to offer voters in the midterms is failure, lies, corruption, cover ups, fear mongering, name calling, enrichment of oligarchs, christian nationalism, racism, data centers everywhere, flock cameras, higher prices, new wars and fake bribes. Hell of a platform.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

If you’ve decided to start calling something by a new name because Donald Trump decided he wants everyone to call it something different, then you are in a cult of pathetic morons.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

We must be prepared for that traitor in the White House to do ANYTHING to fuck with the midterm elections this year. Anything. And when he does, we must be prepared to do anything to defend our elections.
