Rubio may be worse than Pompeo and he definitely makes Tillerson look good. The harm Rubio has done to American foreign policy and to the US position in the world is astonishing.

No one is buying what the hollowed-out DOJ is selling.

Every time Donald Trump says “pretend like I’m on the ballot,” a Republican loses their seat in Congress fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...

The numbers coming in from Alberta are wild. Traditionally conservative blue Calgary voted in numbers as high as 89% to support Canada. The separatist gang were crushed. Sucks to be you Danielle Smith and Pete Hoekstra.

Trump shameful betrayal of brave Ukraine places his support as a de facto agent of Putin the despot. Simply incredible that Trump supports and praises these criminal dictators and excoriates our democratic allies.

On a cultural level that only Texans can truly understand, I don't think folks outside the state can really grasp how well James Talarico did tonight in the CNN town hall. It was a masterclass. He may have actually sealed the race tonight.

Will we end up with Augustinians vs. Franciscans in the World Series? #MLB

Justice Alito is confusing court reform with attacking the court. Many of us simply want the Court to be better. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The NY Times uses words like “fierce,” “steely,” “nimble” and “homegrown star of the Trump White House” to describe Karoline Leavitt, who just got a Fox News gig. Not a single mention of her relentless lying to the American public. Reporter Michael M. Grynbaum and his editors suck.

"Fascism Doesn’t Always Arrive by Force. Sometimes It Comes as Law" A visit to the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam showed me how changes in the law were used by the Nazis to push their agenda. It’s a warning from history we must heed before it's too late. @kimwehle.bsky.social for Zeteo:

The Giants will not lose 100 games this year. Champagne is optional.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I think tearing down Trump's monstrosities, and scraping all that gold crap off the walls, would be healthy symbolism about recovering the country. In addition, fire all his appointees. He's the guy who wanted Schedule F - the next Dem POTUS should use it, then cancel Schedule F. But use it first.

funny thing about this podcast of course is it might get like 200 views, tops

Seems legit

When someone causes damage and claims it is "for your own good," it is most accurately called toxic justification or abusive rationalization. People use this tactic to avoid guilt and control others.

This is what happens when you send a couple of witless real estate guys out to do serious work. 2/2

This should be a fun watch apple.news/AiF7Ib_S9QC2...

Fresh off failing to end the Iran war, secure any concessions, or even make US surrender stick, and riding on the apparent, deepening failure of their Gaza plan, Jared and Steve head to Moscow to resume their failing effort to get Ukraine to bow down to Putin and reward Russia for its aggression.

20% growth isn't optimistic, it's fiction. Growth in 2025 was slower than 2024. So far in 2026, slower still. At some point you have to just call it what it is: a lie. Let's stop debating the number and talk about the actual economy. Full video: https://youtu.be/GWMlhf2eSRQ

Driscoll’s departure is the latest in a steady purge of our top military leaders, coming six months into an unauthorized war that commanders have warned is unsustainable. Why does Hegseth still have the job? www.militarytimes.com/breaking-new...

They called him “Mayor 1%” in Chicago because he catered to the moneyed crowd.

The Trump Administration is trying to dismantle some of our most cherished public lands. Our National Parks are for every American. They aren’t for sale.

Put simply -- either Democrats hold Republicans accountable for this mess when they retake Congress, or voters will blame Democrats for it down the line.

We’ll all be better off when the red team is out of power and Trumpism is out of our lives. It starts with the midterms just 10 weeks away. Make sure your registration is in order and VOTE THEM OUT.

He's like a scandal piñata. Every time you shake him, more misdeeds fall out…

There are no transgender athletes in South Carolina. They're banned by state law. Taiwan, however, produces most of the semiconductors in the US, and is the lynchpin of US policy in the Western Pacific. Anyone that votes for her is a an even bigger idiot than she is.

People don't even stop to think about why most Black women aren't MAHA. One day, people will hold adult white Americans accountable for their own actions, and stop trying to find out who tricked them into every bad decision that they made. No one tricked them into making these bad decisions.

The pearls are being clutched so hard they're turning into dust.

It's 2026, and white Dem politicians are still moving like all of those Black votes are locked in and automatic. I'm here to tell you that they are not.🤷🏿‍♂️ This isn't a debate. This isn't an opinion poll. This isn't a discussion.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

A person without any govt position, who has numerous financial conflicts of interest, should not conduct US foreign policy. And that’s before we get to the fact that he uses this role to corruptly solicit money for himself. It’s wrong. Many seem to have accepted it, but I’ll never stop objecting.

If this report is true, Trump official Michael Boren is using the U.S. Forest Service as his personal firefighting force, and is abusing his position. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

TBF if you want experts on selling out principles for attention, these are your go-to-guys

Today would be a great day for Trump to fire Pete Hegseth and replace him with someone who is actually competent. Every American and every soldier deployed abroad would be safer for it.

We spend so much time looking for God that we miss God in the person sitting next to us. In the face of a neighbor, we glimpse the face of God. We love God by loving our neighbors.

My Republican colleagues aren’t powerless, they are just refusing to do their jobs. Reining in an out-of-control President is literally in the job description. We are supposed to be a system of checks and balances.

It’s like there’s no one left at the SEC.

American law abhors wrongful accusations against an innocent person For now our focus is getting Davey Hearn’s case dismissed w/ prejudice—& then all options are on the table We discussed @CNN.com👇

This is the difference between a winner and a loser. “Yeah you wanna try? Go ahead and fucking try. I’m gonna kick your ass anyways, and if I lose, I’m coming back twice as hard. If you’re on my team, we’re gonna smoke em.” vs. “WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAAH” <fifth place benchwarmer diarrhea noises>

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.

You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.

the next president has a duty to the country to prove that “tax immunity” is a completely made up thing that doesnt exist. they need to do this through intense prosecution to signal to future leaders what will happen if they try this

This is a man who still lies that he won in 2020, who sent a mob to the Capitol to overturn an election he lost, and who now floats staying in power past the two terms the Constitution allows. There is no third term. There is the Constitution, and there is the door.
