Q: Amy Acton's mother has not cared for her in about 50 years after her step dad was indicted for raping her. Why should anymore listen to what the mother says? TRUMP: Well, I know nothing about it. All I know is the mother said very bad things about Acton. I think you have to take that seriously.

Yes, brilliant move sir! Take the single most repulsive Republican campaign ad of my entire life and make it national issue for the whole party! Genius!

Q: Ashley Hinson, who you're campaigning for tonight, says the Ramaswamy ad is 'absolutely terrible' and should be taken down. Why are you defending it? TRUMP: I'm defending it because I know that if that ad was about my mother, you would love every inch of it

Putin has bought Trump with Russian diesel. Just before the US elections. Meanwhile, Russia keeps killing our children while they sleep at night. So Americans are now funding Russia’s war machine? I’m sorry, guys, but WHAT A FUCKING DISGRACE.

Bruce Fraser reposted

How can anybody be surprised that Trump makes a for the US meaningless Diesel deal with Putin to end sanctions on Russia? Have you not understood that Trump supports Russia against Ukraine, the West & the US? Few things are more obvious.

In other words--Democrats will go after the most corrupt administration in the history of the USA and one of the most corrupt administrations anywhere in the world today. Sign me up.

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

Speaker Mike Johnson: “If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats, y'all impeachment is not even the big concern. They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors and friends”

A father-defender made it back to his daughter’s graduation. At the very moment the graduate was watching her dad’s video message on the screen, she had no idea he was already there. Despite the war, he was there for his daughter. Not as a hero from the headlines, but as a father for his child 💛

Well that's depressing.

Every presidential administration gets accused of corruption—sometimes with good reason, sometimes not. But the corruption of the Trump administration is of a magnitude that is not only without precedent in American history but so large and brazen as to be difficult to wrap one's head around.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Staggering that so many evangelicals still support Trump after a year of madness. At least the main lines have finally turned against him although not by much.

Diana Butler Bass@dianabutlerbass.bsky.social

This is the FIRST time in the last decade that I've seen a majority of mainline Protestants disapprove of Trump. (New Pew poll.) 52% of white nonevangelical Prots disapprove; 46% approve (but that's down at least 10 points from where it has mostly been). White evangelicals steady w/69% approval

They’re probably not mentioning affordability anymore because you’re killing people.

Trump: "Everything has come down. Do you notice that don't notice affordability anymore? That's like an old fashioned word."

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining; it is the night of the dear Savior’s birth... Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, and in His name all oppression shall cease.

Which raises an important question. Who else was there with boats?

Trump: “We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population…They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago with a boat. Well, we were there with boats too I’m sure.”

We are in a bizarre moment of diplomatic history. The purported "peace plan" that appeared a few days ago begins in Russian unreality and American weakness. Demanding everything of Ukraine and nothing of Russia, its purpose is imperialism and profiteering. snyder.substack.com/p/russian-un...

My question is how can we ensure every Republican spends two weeks on Trump's bad side? They are all weak and this might be a winning strategy to turning over Congress before the next election.

The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes Europe can, and must, craft better with Ukraine A point by point analysis of the shambles: www.greatpower.us/p/28-points-...

I gotta say hearing everyone keep talking about so called ‘peace plan’ Russia is trying to push on us while air raid siren alert is on in my city and rescuers continue to search for 14 people in Ternopil after Russia bombed a civilian apartment building there yesterday is absolutely f*cked up.

Today I spent the whole day holding my children. I wanted them to feel that I am here and that they are safe. The fear for your children is the worst fear. Today a Russian missile took so many lives. It hurts so much that I don’t know how to cope with it.
