Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

Because we are in upside down world the guy who took a $50,000 bribe ordered a a government raid of a Congresswoman over 40 year old paperwork filed by her father. Our republic is broken.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

LOLOL there's no microphone because the pool is boycotting him.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

We're deep into Mad King territory here and yet there will still be people on the Sunday shows today pretending that the president isn't a mentally deranged despot

“Trump ‌on Sunday said ​in a ​post on Truth ⁠Social ​that NBC's ​Kristen Welker will be reported ​to ​the FCC for ‘rebuke or ‌punishment’, after he said she ​reported ​the ⁠Republican President had ​mixed ​results ⁠in his endorsement of ⁠candidates.” I remember when this would be unthinkable

Trump’s obsession with ripping working electromagnetic catapults out of Navy aircraft carriers and replacing them with steam catapults is BATSHIT. The ships will have to be completely redesigned around old tech that breaks down more. It will cost BILLIONS. And all because the president is INSANE.

Capital One’s lawyers would not have signed-off on closing Trump’s account unless the money laundering evidence was very strong; it would simply be way too much of a legal/reputational risk

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

🚨 NEWS: In a new court filing, Capital One says Donald Trump’s accounts were closed in 2021 after months of analysis by its anti-money laundering (AML) professionals, not because of politics, as Trump has long claimed. 1/

Considering how badly Covid was mishandled, they're probably going to regret the decision to make Fauci's personal diary and journal public. We're going to see how it was handled from the insider, from Fauci's point of view... based on you know...science.

The administration is currently floating the idea of knocking out energy targets in Iran, but to wrap the bombing up before the stock market opens on Monday. These are not serious people.

Start the clock. Now that Pirro has admitted the reflecting pool was Trump’s fault, who lasts longer? Pirro, or explosive diarrhea lettuce.

REPUBLICAN 1: Hey, so our numbers are terrible and no one can afford anything and we’re gonna get crushed in November REPUBLICAN 2: Yeah. How can we rile up the frothy MAGA idiots? REPUBLICAN 1: Fauci conspiracies! REPUBLICAN 2: Great. Let’s subpoena him.

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

We destroyed Irans military then had to go back to fighting the non existent military but had to stop because we were using too many expensive missiles attacking the not-military because we weren’t flying over the country with no military because their non military was still a threat to our planes.

The level of disrespect this regime shows to their fellow Americans reaches a level that’s completely incompatible with democracy. These people literally believe they have the right to kill people who disagree with them. It’s disgusting.

Additionally, it drives me crazy that the default position in this country is that being here undocumented is a crime. It’s not. Further, legal status isn’t a factor in whether someone should be murdered.

Ahmed Baba@ahmedbaba.bsky.social

It’s impossible to move the debate forward when one side is committed to upholding a disinformation-fueled, dehumanizing false reality that leads to the state-sanctioned street killings of innocent people. There are not two sides to this particular story. Full stop.

If our generation does its job, then by the time our kids are celebrating the 300th, they'll look back on the decades between these milestones with admiration for how America faced ferocious challenges and once more drew nearer to its highest ideals. From our family to yours, happy Fourth of July!

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

After the 2024 election results, I knew we were in for an attempted real-life version of Orwell's "1984." I did not expect it to be so thoroughly mashed up with "The Emperor's New Clothes." But here we are.
