Jesus was mentioned 1,000 times in the bible. Donald Trump is mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein Files. He’s more than just a “background character.”

All this because Donald Trump couldn't abide the idea of a Black president having a success. This war may have been triggered by his desire to distract from Epstein...but his tearing up the JCPOA (like his Nobel Prize obsession) is driven by his profound and unyielding racism.

Right now, the conversation isn’t about nuclear programs, or free and fair elections in Iran. It's about reopening a body of water that was open before this war started. Chalk that up as a win for Tehran.

“[It’s not a] brilliant attack on Western democracy. The story, it appears, is that the Russian Mafia state is cultivating profit-yielding relationships with the aspiring Mafia boss of the U.S. and his band of crooks, subverting democratic institutions in the process.” @mashagessen.bsky.social 2019:

This represents a real shift in tone from Zelenskyj. It seems impossible to play theatre any longer, because the truth is there for us all to see; Trump, Putin, Orban, Netanyahu - They are all on the same team. Team Dictatorship👇 bsky.app/profile/fact...

Donald Trump is in the midst of bankrupting the United States.

IN ONE HOUR: Trump is hiding the most damning files about himself, and we won’t stay quiet about it. The Breakdown airs at 7 PM EST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny1IvBmlMnw

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

OPINION: "A HUGE HEIST from the American tax payers" Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice joins @jenpsaki.bsky.social to discuss Trump's plan to use $10 billion from taxpayers for his "Board of Peace" WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYA3...

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

NEW: Trump said if Republicans in Congress pass the SAVE America Act, which would disenfranchise millions if passed, the party will not lose a race “for 50 years.” His comment marks the latest in a string of concerning statements disparaging American election security. https://bit.ly/4atKNSk

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.” This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate." #TrumpSyndicate

BREAKING: Our campaign raised $2.5 million in 24 hours after the FCC banned our Colbert interview.

I don't know what to do but just keep repeating it so I don't go insane: the rise & eventual total domination of RW media is the single most significant political development of my lifetime and the entirely of the US political & media elite resolutely refuse to discuss or even acknowledge it.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

As I wrote two weeks ago, when the retreat from Minneapolis began, “it is proof that people power is not theoretical, it is real. It can force change. It can alter the course of history.” www.headsupnews.org/p/people-pow...

The United States has fallen to its worst-ever position in a leading global index that measures views of corruption in the public sector among independent experts and businesspeople. https://cnn.it/4r5GoL9

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

🙄

OPINION by Ja’han Jones: “Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar and Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker are expressing concerns over warehouses that are being converted into detention facilities for immigrants.” Read more: www.ms.now/opinion/ice-...

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

It seems that the proclivity toward serious criminality (felonies) is far higher among ICE and CBP agents than among immigrants taken as a whole. Stats on this subject are persistent and offer the same results.

Haitians working and living in the United States on Temporary Political Status paid 1.3 BILLION a year in our taxes. Trump has paid 750 dollars. He is a freeloader currently emptying our treasury.

You realize, don't you, that many people out there voted for Donald Trump to "keep big government off our backs."

The manufacturing boom President Trump promised would usher in a golden age for America is going in reverse.

The way things are going in America, it should be clear we don't have much time. We certainly don't have three years. We need to help ourselves by pushing for impeachment and removal as hard as we can and carrying it out as soon as humanly possible.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

They all thought they were invincible

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers. The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second. And the Hunter hunters are silent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump is extorting $10 billion from the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service he controls through his appointees in the most massively corrupt shakedown in US history. It will barely make the mainstream news. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Trump hung a photo of himself alongside Vladimir Putin inside the White House.

Kristi Noem AND Stephen Miller must go.

A new report warns that the number of soldiers killed, injured or missing on both sides of Russia's war on Ukraine could hit 2 million by the spring, with Russia suffering the largest number of troop deaths recorded for any major power in any conflict since World War II. https://to.pbs.org/4rhs4yR

In Opinion Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new vaccine schedule is an attack on our social safety net, David Wallace-Wells writes, from “health libertarians whose strategy for making America healthy again appears straightforwardly to mean letting more of the country’s weak and vulnerable suffer and die.”

Here’s the truth: ✅Trump lost the 2020 election. ✅Renée Good was shot in the face while turning her car to leave. ✅Alex Pretti was beaten by six ICE officers, then fatally shot. ✅The GOP is preparing to steal the midterms. The administration is denying it all. But we can't.

SCOOP: Nursing home companies donated $4.8M to Trump's super PAC in Aug-Sept. Their executives landed a lunch in Aug. with Trump at his NoVa golf club where they asked him to revoke a rule to increase staffing to prevent patient neglect. His administration revoked the rule a few months later.

NEW: A person was shot in an incident involving U.S. Border Patrol in Arizona on Tuesday, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesperson says.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek
