Nationalize Starlink

This is a masterclass in effective communication while also not being afraid to point out bigotry for what it is. We should be so lucky to have someone like this in our government.

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia? Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

That’s the plan.

The reckoning is here…

"House Republicans will continue to hold Hunter Biden’s feet to the fire until we have his testimony...no one – not even the president’s son – is above the law.” - Tom Emmer, 1.17.24 "Don Jr is a private citizen and businessman so this unwarranted attack will go nowhere," Tom Emmer, 9.23.26

“To leave no loopholes Hitler exacted from all officers and men of the armed forces an oath of allegiance—not to Germany, not to the constitution, which he had violated by not calling for the election of Hindenburg’s successor, but to himself.” -Shirer, Rise & Fall of the Thrid Reich, p. 375

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

Trump, empowered by SCOTUS, entered office convinced he could do insider trading, sell pardons and favors, take bribes, steal and openly flout the law. Now, with the prospect of investigations looming, he is growing ever more fearful that he miscalculated.

This. The whole thread.

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.

The claims against Donald Trump's anti-voting executive order and the US Postal Service are now clearly ripe and I am representing the Democratic Party to block it from taking effect. I am realistic about the Supreme Court but I believe we will win!

It’s a traditional Japanese instrument called shamisen. It has only three strings. 🤯🎸🎶🎵

Obama’s real sin was interrupting America’s cherished tradition of turning every foreign-policy problem into a 20-year war.

The internet is fucking wild

Jim has a theory

Jon Ossoff: “Donald Trump would rather fly around in a gilded plane than do his job.” Republicans: “DONALD TRUMP IS NOT A PEDOPHILE WHO SHITS HIMSELF AND CHEATS ON HIS WIFE AND HIS TAXES!!!!!!!”

This geode that resembles the Cookie Monster was discovered by gemologist *Lucas Fassari* in November 2020 in the Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. #AGoodPlace

CapitalOne closed 300 of Trump’s accounts on suspicions of money laundering, so the Trump family just decided to start their own bank. Problem solved!

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: 18-Year-Old Mia Heller From Virginia, USA, Invents a Water Filter That Eliminates 96% of Microplastics From Drinking Water

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

June 28: Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. July 24: European diamonds got their exemption from Trump’s tariffs. I'm investigating what looks like cartoonish corruption.

Plot twist. When we win this seat, we will take back the Senate, and when we take back the Senate, we will stand up for democracy and deliver for working people.

They're wearing the cats.....

NEWS: Knox County is Tennessee's 3rd largest county, and it voted for Trump by 20%. It has a GOP-run school board known for banning books & approving controversial charter schools. Democrats last night flipped control of the school board in Knox County.

🚨BREAKING: A federal court dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit seeking access to D.C.'s unredacted voter registration lists. The department now stands at 0-21 in its sweeping legal hunt for states' private voter data.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

"While the world frets over Trump’s incompetence, corruption, and carnage, the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court enjoy a deference that obscures their role in causing permanent damage."

It is very hard not to have contempt for John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who have sold their souls to find some fig leaf to support the worst nominee for Attorney General ever. The signed agreement is worthless without the signatures of the parties, namely Trump. The IRS break stands. Moral cowards. 

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

My response to Elon Musk.

Capital One’s lawyers would not have signed-off on closing Trump’s account unless the money laundering evidence was very strong; it would simply be way too much of a legal/reputational risk

STATEMENT ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REFLECTING POOL INFIGHTING

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Thanks for helping us! I'm a 44-year-old 5th grade teacher, wife and mama who is also currently battling stage 4 metastatic melanoma while y aching full-time and can't afford things on my own this year. I would be so appreciative of any help! ❤️ www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Please enjoy my cartoon in today's Toronto Star

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

BREAKING: Justice Department agrees to withdraw subpoenas issued to New York Times reporters in leak investigation related to new Air Force One jet. Withdrawal of subpoenas follows hearing before NY federal judge, who indicated he was inclined to quash the subpoenas.

The other day someone very ignorant told me that AOC never does anything bsky.app/profile/lach...

If you're 60, 69% of the job growth in your lifetime came under Democratic presidents. If you're 45: 75%. If you're under 28: 100%. Not a typo. The Republican column since 1998 nets out below zero. (Source: BLS)

She can duck and weave, but Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. She’s responsible for overseeing the appropriations process, including funding for ICE. Collins voted in favor of providing $70 billion in additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Vote her out.
