In case facts still matter

We had it so good.

More treachery and treason from this administration.

Traitorous and treasonous.

And it was actually a prisoner exchange in which we gave them an actual Russian criminal and we also gave them diplomatic cover in a war of aggression — not only morally shameful and personally humiliating but as a negotiation absolutely laughably unequal.

Zuckerberg's own employees confirm that he directed an intentional effort to throw the Brazilian election in favor of Flávio Bolsonaro, apparently because he understood this is what Trump wanted. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Tell us you don’t care about women or their health without telling us you don’t care about women or their health.

Susan Rice called this over two years ago: spheres of influence.

Happy Sunday, everybody. Vote 🗳️

Marisa explains how that guy @abdulelsayed.bsky.social schooled was a paid Republican operative with white nationalist ties

It's not just a golf course it's a public park. Paid for by us, the taxpayers. We meet and play and have picnics there - we did, until now.

Brilliant take down.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas calls to investigate Republican President Trump's Aid and Comfort to Russia/Putin. Zelensky confirmed Starlink continues to disconnect above 161km/h - Ukraine can't intercept Russian drones, and tests outside Ukraine border show the sabotage is willful.

For 240 of our 250 years the 3 branch system that we have worked. And it can continue to work if we stop being complacent and start paying attention again.

Traitorous and treasonous.

When do we grow a spine and say “Enough!”?

When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.

⚡️ "This is my answer," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said when asked in Brussels if Donald Trump is using him as a scapegoat.

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

Traitorous and treasonous.

The question is not "why has Donald betrayed Ukraine?" The question is "how big a cut of unfrozen Russian assets will Donald get for betraying Ukraine?"

🎯

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

Donald Trump didn’t do all this damage alone… Republicans in Congress had the power and the responsibility to stop him. Instead… They chose complacency and cowardice. Remember that, when you vote in November. Enjoy. 😎🇺🇸✨

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

Donald Trump is nothing without his army of Russain bots. Read more from Rick Wilson: https://www.againstallenemies.net/p/the-death-of-magas-troll-army

Treasonous traitor.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.

🎯

This is clearly not acceptable

🤯

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

🤬

And here we are, with Trump and Putin colluding to tamper with another American election again.

When the administration is corrupt, lawless, and thin-skinned...
