It’s peak Trumpism when Republicans blow up a school full of Iranian Muslim girls and then call an American politician a terrorist because he’s Muslim.

🇺🇸 Who runs in 2028? Trump: I could tell you who I think, but it's a little bit early. 🇺🇸 What are some names that you've heard? Trump: We have great names — JD Vance, Marco Rubio. We have a great bench.

Tuberville: "Zelensky will play hardball, but you know what? He's not even a player in the game. Putin, President Trump, and the people on our side will make the final decision about Ukraine's future."

Elon Musk amplifies pro-Russian propagandist and publicly demands removal of Ukraine’s president, amid reports that speed / usage restrictions imposed through his Starlink satellite network disrupted Ukrainian military defence ops, resulting in civilian deaths and injuries.

TRUMP & ELON MUSK ARE MURDERING UKRAINIANS #ukrainianview Let's be in no doubt, on Trumps orders ballistic missile warnings have been stopped leaving hundreds in harms way. Civillians died last night because Trump let it happen. Musk slowed Starlink down deliberately because Musk disagrees

This is like the US avidly helping Hitler bomb London with V-2 rockets.

Trump is now facilitating Putin's attacks on Ukrainian civilians.

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.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Zelensky feels the diesel deal is a BETRAYAL & says this is not how partnership works. He called the Miami talks a smokescreen, the decision weak, & the whole thing unfair. He says gifts to Putin will not buy peace, and Ukraine keeps hitting refineries unless Moscow stops wrecking Ukrainian energy.

The Trump administration has denied Illinois’ request for disaster relief — again. The state sought FEMA’s help after days of severe weather in and around the Chicago area in August. FEMA granted Indiana’s request for help with the same storm. buff.ly/P3ElxRb

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Absolutely the best writer to save our planet. While everything burns - she calls out the horrible actions P2025 called out - and it's happening NOW - which little or zero coverage. Except that of this hero - Sammi is amazing (give her a follow- with my highest endorsement!)

Trump cut Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears by nearly 3M acres using a 6-word clause buried in a 1906 law in July & NPCA toured them & the Grand Staircase itself is now outside its own monument. Mining claims were filed within hours. A tribal commission was dissolved. Full story below. 🧵

🔥 @katiephang.bsky.social (With Deniro behind her): “I’m suing A.G. Todd Blanche — Trump’s cosplaying personal lawyer — for the unredacted Epstein files… as an independent journo 🗣️ I don’t have a corporate oligarch telling me what to say… Trump has been violating federal law every day.”

The Trump administration’s actions resulted in the destruction of the largest ancient Cottonwood tree on Indigenous territory in Arizona. This tree, known as the “Grandmother Tree,” was 250 years old.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

For countless pets across Ukraine, every attack means fear, stress, & another night spent hiding from the blasts. They may not understand war, but they feel its consequences. No one—person or animal—should have to live through this. 🇺🇦 Stand With Ukraine 💙💛💔 Thread 3/5🧵

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!
