This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Why was JD Vance holding Situation Room meetings about Ghislaine Maxwell? We will hold real public hearings with testimony under oath. If you were involved in the abuse of women and girls or the cover-up, we are coming after you.

Justice’s been painfully too slow, but it’s coming:

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch obtained NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. bases from Trump's Iran war. Troops and military families describe being abandoned by their own government. “It’s so much worse than people realize.”

Really instructive to see, day after day, the public deserting Trump, and elites—tech, corporate, legal, media, think-tank— hanging in there, rationalizing, excusing, and enabling away.

As someone who publicly came out against Trump 8yrs ago, and ended my career as a Republican by doing so, and have endured hate & threats from the MAGA base these past 8yrs, I have zero sympathy for, and utter disdain for, all 3 of these groups of cowardly former Republican colleagues of mine.👇

BREAKING: A GOP senator asked for anonymity to reveal that "everyone in Congress knows Trump's second term is a disaster," but 1/3 of Republicans are grifting his supporters, 1/3 are afraid of Trump ending their careers, and 1/3 are afraid his cult is a danger to their families.

Thank you for making No Kings Day the single largest early vote activation in American history! This is how we will stop Trump’s election sabotage.

This is incredible @abdulelsayed.bsky.social not just b/c it’s a principled defense of American pluralism, not just because Abdul trounced him. It’s deeper b/c Abdul chose not to dismiss, perform outrage, avoid the uncomfortable, but to engage him as an equal and to struggle for what’s right.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Now what we need is severe punishment, so that it never happens again and so that we can believe in our government again. Elected Dems better be ready…

As we approach the midterms, voters are grasping the reality of the sickening scale of corruption by Trump and his so-called government—and they’re mad as hell about it. A whopping 88 percent of voters polled said they are extremely or very concerned about it. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Some of us have been saying this since 2016….

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

It’s been really amazing this past week to watch so many people FINALLY waking up to the fact that Trump is on Putin’s side, that Trump is actively trying to help Putin win the war, that Trump is a Russian asset. It’s ALWAYS been the case, but I’m glad people finally get it.

“It’s all been building towards this moment.” After almost two years of Trump defying courts, ignoring the Constitution, and punishing dissenters while he and his friends get even richer, We The People are ready to take back power. Join us tomorrow for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The villain of our national story is less Trump and more the GOP, who have aided and abetted him for a decade. When I left MAGA, I also walked away from the Republican Party. When it comes to Trump, there is no red line for the GOP.

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

Makes sense. This is the most corrupt president, and the most corrupt administration, in American history. By far. It’s not even close.👇

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Oh my, we are at scraping the very bottom of the talent barrel stage of this authoritarian rule by vacuous sycophants. This is just painful for our country.

Impeachment now. “If Congress refuses to utilize its explicit constitutional powers of removal, the piece warns, it establishes a dangerous modern precedent: that the foundational rules of American democracy are completely non-enforceable.” www.alternet.org/trump-impeac...

alternet.org'Only impeachment can save us': The case for Trump's immediate removalIn a sharp new commentary, attorney Michael Coard argues that relying on voters to check Donald Trump is a dangerous mistake—and lays out a 12-point constitutional plan for immediate removal

This is so powerful because it’s from someone who was on the inside:

I spent my career helping to build DHS during the Bush, Obama, and Trump years. We must abolish ICE. It’s lost all public trust. It must be eliminated. We can never again allow an agency to become the president’s “secret police.”

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

-U.S. Service Members killed. -Hundreds wounded. -Thousands of civilians dead. And now he’s making flip comments about them taking out 2 American cities. Absolutely disgusting and abhorrent.   It’s past time to invoke the 25th Amendment. Will our Republican colleagues find the courage to do so?

We are facing a psychiatric emergency. We are facing a constitutional emergency. Anyone with eyes and ears who’s paying attention can see it. Our republic is teetering. The good news: We the people have the power to stop this accelerating descent before it’s too late.

Is it woke to be horrified by what happened at Cornell--and by the "boys will be boys" excuse-making of so many then and now? If so, perhaps we should all be a little more woke?
