The recent Starlink / Starshield incident in Ukraine has created a dangerous precedence for the US export industry, many haven't yet grasped. The sudden deactivation respectively curtailing of those systems without warning not only cost precious lives, but also equipment worth millions.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

If the ballroom gets built, the next President should just start knocking down the Supreme Court building one day. Throw up some cubicles in the ballroom and tell them they can work out of there until a new one is built.

If you voted for Trump & you’re suffering, your business is suffering, your family member deported, you can’t afford gas, diesel, groceries, Rx, rent or utilities You are getting exactly what you voted for Also, if you’re experiencing explosive diarrhea & voted for Trump, you did this to yourself

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health. I’m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health. Let’s end the crazy speculation. Just tell us what’s going on.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg passed away 2 days before McConnell plotted to find her replacement. This comes after he refused to hold a vote on Obama’s’ pick for SC justice. It’s time to fill McConnell’s seat. If he’s alive he can object in person. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.theguardian.com/us

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

We fought a war 250 years ago to get a King’s name off our laws. Now, we have a President forcing his face onto our money just to brand the government like a hotel chain. We didn’t trade a crown for a gold-plated ego. This is a Republic. Not a franchise.

“I need a ballroom to be safe.” —Donald Trump Bitch, please! Every weekend, you're riding around in an open golf cart on a course where a sniper supposedly once tried to shoot you. Shut up about your vulgar ballroom already.

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Even when this dark chapter finally ends, I will never forget the immorality, the criminality, and the pure cruelty we’ve seen in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.
