Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

Everything President Trump blamed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for in his comments at the White House today is a boldfaced lie. Trump should be charged with treason forgiving aid and comfort (support)(14th ammendment, section 3) to our Russian enemy, Putin.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Here is a better idea: Give the whole thing to NASA and kick that meddlesome dork white supremacist back to South Africa.

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

If you’re advising POTUS to declare martial law, or use other executive powers in an attempt to interfere with a lawful election that you’re expecting to lose, you’re a piece of shit human and an even worse American. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

Didn't Trump leave military plans in spilled boxes of classified documents in the shitter and then wave a military attack map around in front of Susie Wiles?

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

Heads up: The Russian government has been targeting Americans with covert online disinformation operations seeking to undermine public confidence the midterms — using a familiar playbook in an attempt to inject chaos into the voting season, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

NOT TO BE CONTROVERSIAL, but are we boycotting the Patriots and all shows at Gillette Stadium as hard as we are boycotting Ed Sheeran??? Because Robert Kraft deserves the heat about 100x as much, even if Ed is being a little dick bitch for letting him dictate things.

This isn’t a “sale”. Israel purchases these weapons with a fund created with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Biden/Harris blocked these 2000-pound bombs from going to Israel. Congress can block this “sale.” VOTE. www.nbcwashington.com/news/nationa...

Don’t believe the lies. Trump is *not* selling $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. It’s worse. Trump is *giving away* $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. American taxpayers are paying for those bombs.

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.

This is one of the more coordinated attacks I’ve seen from the Houthis in recent memory. This entire situation is spiraling out of control, and Trump’s only real plan is to promise his gullible sheep that $2 gas is coming. 🙄

In Kyiv, we are trying to survive another large-scale attack. While going to safety, I could see explosions lighting up the sky over the city and hear car alarms going off. There are several fires across the city. People are trapped under the rubble. People who didn’t have time to seek shelter.

We all know Witkoff & Kushner’s goal in Russia was to use US policy to make business deals to benefit themselves and their families, which is what they have done full-time since Jan 2025. They have no interest in what’s best for Ukraine or what’s just. Their greed is insatiable.

I saw the White House launched an arcade page. I saw it was wildly racist. I said ‘yep, that’s on brand’ and promptly went back to my day. It’s predictably disgusting from the White House, but it’s not worth dignifying with any real response. The children who run the socials want the outrage.

No, not irreversible. But it will almost certainly take more than one Democratic term to fix. Which is why I’ve been so insistent that folks stop the goddamn purity tests and vote responsibly in November. We aren’t looking for perfect candidates. We’re looking for better than Republicans.
