So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too

The fact that the DOJ keeps getting no-billed by grand juries coast to coast should not obscure the fact that this administration has engaged using the formerly independent DOJ as a personal weapon of harassment for the most unethical, corrupt “President” in our history

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

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

It really needs to be emphasized that the woman Vivek is featuring in these videos fled with an accused & indicted child rapist and successfully helped him avoid trial for 20+ years.

The number of things that Trump has done in his two terms that would have been unthinkable for any other President in the history of our nation stretched the boundaries of the mind. In the end, though, the responsibility for the damage falls at the feet of those who enabled him and cheered him on.

There’s something seriously wrong with the president of the United States

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.

The US President has officially decided to ally with Russia over the West. Please tell me more about the “Russia Hoax”. The truth was staring everyone in the face the whole time. People who believed otherwise were suckers and fools.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.gov

Trump just waived all sanctions on Russia in the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act, just as I and others warned. Trump’s latest surrender to Putin again betrays our Ukrainian partners and defies clear congressional intent of legislation passed to punish Russia for its illegal war of aggression.

The thing is, if you believe in the rule of law, you would know that this is wildly illegal and grounds for a slam dunk impeachment. But the USA I was raised in is not the USA I currently live in.

Again, this seems to be Republicans' big closing message for the midterms, so it's worth asking -- what the fuck are they talking about. Ask any parent with a kid in public schools if they'll so much as give them an Advil without written and signed permission. Then show them this insane shit.

Literally insane shit. This has never happened. There are formerly smart people whose brains have been so cooked that they buy this absurdity

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Mike Grady reposted

Trump announces that two countries who have been in a major war have agreed to a ceasefire. Ukraine said they had no idea what he was talking about. Russia said they agreed to nothing. Trump has taken a blowtorch to any credibility the US has built over two centuries.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

I cannot stress enough how fucking illegal this is. “Donald Trump is a criminal who keeps committing crimes, and now he wants to bribe voters to keep Republicans in office so he can—you guessed it—commit more crimes.” If you can’t message around that, no one can help you.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Raskin made a holy shit observation on MS Now this afternoon: Since taking office, Trump has made a million dollars per hour for himself. Every hour, he has made more than twice the president’s annual salary.

This is because Trump has probably never heard of, and certainly would not understand, the Thucydides Trap.

Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social

Lord, President Xi just insulted Trump and the USA, right to Trump's face-in the White House. Xi referred, yet again, to the "Thucydides trap". This is an reference to the US being in decline and China replacing it. And Trump sits their making moo eyes like a lovestruck teenager

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
