It’s not the Gulf of America. We don’t have a Department of War, unless you count the war we’re losing. Canada is not the 51st state. There’s no such thing as the Lake of America, The Strait of America or the Trump Center. You are not 6’3” and 225 lbs, You’re demented.

If you had told me a decade ago that one day we would discover a cabal of rich pedophiles who had preyed on hundreds if not thousands of girls on a private island and hardly anyone would be held accountable, I would’ve called you stone cold crazy. It turns out I was the crazy one.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

ICE has become a Trojan horse for rabid Nazis, bloodthirsty Nationalists and gun-toting Nitwits. People are dying in their custody. Americans are being murdered. If democrats think rigorous training will fix what amounts to a domestic terror group, they have not been paying attention.

I used to think they were all nuts when they’d carry on non-stop about deep state cabals, powerful pedophile rings and highly connected sex traffickers. It turns out they knew exactly what they were talking about. They were talking about themselves.

There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files. It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release. Not long ago, the DOJ declared there was nothing to investigate. You are witness to the most blatant coverup in American history.

Tim Mellon, Miriam Adelson, the Uihleins, Ken Griffin (Citadel) - all poured hundreds of millions into his campaign. Qatar gifted him a luxury plane and invested billions in his ventures. The list goes on and on. Donald Trump is the most bought and paid for President in American history. 2/2

BREAKING: In response to Donald Trump breaking the law by demolishing the East Wing without permission, the National Parks Service just renamed the Grand Canyon as the “Grand Trump Throat Vulva.”

When Trump says he’s cutting “democratic programs”, he’s referring to the ACA, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, social security… His pitch to the base is, “I’m taking things you depend on because they were championed by people you don’t like…and giving you nothing from the people you do like.” Winning.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

This isn’t about republicans vs. democrats anymore. Party lines hold little meaning. It’s about whether we continue to exist as a constitutional republic or completely devolve into an autocracy. Every American should be outraged in their bones about what’s going on.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.

People missed the likely explanation for Trump's bizarre ramble yesterday, when he falsely said his MIT-professor uncle taught the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. Trump is under huge stress right now about the Jeffrey Epstein files. And it's Epstein who told people that he studied with the Unabomber. 1/

"Do you know who Kaczynski was? There's very little difference between a madman and a genius. But Kaczynski... I said, what kind of a student was he, Uncle John, Dr. John Trump? [...] He said, seriously, good. He said he'd go around correcting everybody, but it didn't work out too well for him."

48 years ago today "God Save the Queen" by the British punk rock band the Sex Pistols, released on this day in 1977 as the band's second single, later included on their album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols #punks #punk #punkrock #sexpistols #history #punkrockhistory #otd

IMHO ... as pathetic as this is, the "whataboutism" that's been such a snoozefest talking point for the right "whataboout Hunter? whatabout Hillary?" is as boring for the left. My answer to "Whatabout if it was Biden?" is "It ain't. Done." Get over the sour grapes and fight on.

Don't be distracted by whatever oppo they dish out on Kilmar or whomever they try to disappear and destroy next. Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court order to bring him back. That's a Constitutional Crisis, and pissing on the graves of our Founding Fathers
