In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like.
🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.
Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…
Jason’s attorney sent me this and asked that we share it with as many people as possible. You know what to do. #WeStandWithMajorWatson#GoodTroubleSquadron
Jon Ossoff has the magic that few who enter politics have & can’t be taught. You have it or you don’t. He has it in abundance & combines it with devotion to his family, a tireless work ethic, and a proven track record of winning a state controlled by Republicans. Not a bad combo.
Trump's attitude towards Medicaid fraud is demonstrated by the 77 persons he pardoned who were convicted of Medicaid fraud. They're all Republicans, Trump supporters, who made payments to him and his campaign. In most cases he also eliminated their duty to make restitution for the money they stole.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
Today marks 5 years since the attack on our Capitol on January 6. There have been a lot of efforts to rewrite history, but I was there that day. The building that represents American democracy was attacked by a violent mob, incited by President Trump, with the goal of...
Remember when we were all about taking down terrorists and the networks that financed them?
Now they get red carpet treatment at the White House, presidential pardons and investment opportunities with America.
Times sure have changed.
For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats.
No death threats.
It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats.
Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.
Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.
…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.
…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.
The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.
Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.
It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.
Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.
Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼
Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism
In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov on rural hospital closures: “We’re the wealthiest country in the world. Every community—rural, suburban, urban, Black, white, rich, poor—deserves world-class healthcare. That’s the bare minimum.”
One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
Three days after the UN inquiry declares "genocide" in Gaza the Carney government says they are still waiting for "all the evidence" before taking a stand.
What an epic moral failure.
Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target
The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.
So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.
Yes, the regime sending the military into US cities is a terrifying escalation toward dictatorship, but never forget how incompetent they are.
Pete Hegseth couldn't organize a parade.
Now he's going to oversee military operations in multiple US cities, all at the same time?
The people will win.
"Long the envy of the world for its capabilities and expertise, the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows." This is very bad!
Florida and Texas are leading the way to bankruptcy, drowning in debt and defaults.
Louisiana has the highest rate of credit forbearance in the U.S.
All under Trump.
All run by Republicans.
All lying to your face about “economic success.”
Trump’s Golden Age means you're broke while he's golfing.
You want a “reasonable chance of ending the war”?
*Collectively give Ukraine funds and munitions.
*Impose strong sanctions with NO exceptions to cut off Russia’s income.
*Use the $300 billion seized from Russian banking assets and stop sitting on it! Give it to Ukraine.
*Ignore Putin’s BS
Did you know that the Founders were so vehemently against having a standing army that might do what Comer is calling for that they explicitly wrote into the Constitution that Congress has to reauthorize the existence of the Army every two years or the entire thing has to disband?
Comer: "We're gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington DC. We spend a lot on our military. Our military has been in many countries around the world for the past two decades walking the streets trying to reduce crime. We need to focus on the big cities in America now."
There were 34 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of July.
Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts
Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it
Whenever Israel yields to international pressure and allows aid trucks into Gaza, it devises other methods to ensure that food is never delivered.

"The findings could also mean that the land carbon sink – which normally removes billions of tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year and is essential for meeting climate targets – is weakening decades earlier than expected"
1/ In another corrupt shadow docket ruling, the Supreme Court just gave Trump more unchecked power. No hearings, no signatures, no shame. They’re shredding the Constitution and turning the judiciary into a rubber stamp for authoritarianism. #Voices4Victory#DemVoice1#USDemocracy#ProudBlue
