Raw Story: Trump celebrated the nation's 250th anniversary by taking to Truth Social to make sure Americans knew he thinks Sen. Jon Ossoff looks like Pee-wee Herman. I doubt Jon Ossoff cares what this fascist fuck thinks. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteYourOssoff

This holiday weekend, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, I'll be thinking not just about the history of the United States but about our future.

Worse yet, we have a president who's brain dead.

Trump: The ceasefire is unbelievably weak. It's on life support. Life support is not a good thing. Do you agree? I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support where the doctor walks in and says, 'Sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living.'

"With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished. ...

The U.S. is effectively checkmated in Iran—and this defeat will carry lasting consequences unlike any America has endured before, Robert Kagan argues.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is

US media needs to start calling Trump's shit out too! He's trying to control all of it except some independent news sources.

I assume Orban conceded because the opposition's victory is too staggeringly large to deny. It's important for us to remember that, were he in Orban's position, Trump would never concede, no matter how large the margin.

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

PM Carney: "Virtue is like a muscle, it grows with exercise. When we are kind, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows. And when we are all in for Canada, we will build Canada strong for all."

Authoritarians go after elections because YOUR vote is their biggest threat. Don't let them win by walking away. Elections are our most powerful weapon-and as long as we have them, we must use them. Fight back at the ballot box! Check your registration monthly until November! Iwillvote.com

BLATANT LIE CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Karoline Leavitt: "Lebanon is NOT part of the ceasefire agreement". FACT: Literally the PM of Pakistan, who mediated the ceasefire, tweeted out that it WAS included. He's literally the one who witnessed the deal.

What the President said yesterday was disturbing. I’m relieved he held off on striking civilian infrastructure, but the fact of the matter is that no part of the war has helped the American people in any way.
