Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko recalls witnessing the aftermath of Russian attacks on civilians trying to flee. “Half-burnt bodies lying on the asphalt” beside the wreckage of their cars. “Something that you would expect to see in horror movies, but it's absolutely reality.”

Just despicable people. All of them. It’s not just that they’re corrupt and shitty at their jobs - they’re terrible humans.

Trump Economics: Factories go up → sports teams go up → America wins. Somewhere, an economist just quietly walked into traffic.

Since it is Constitution Day, I have a question for all you Christian nationalists out there. QUESTION: "How many times does the Constitution mention Jesus?" ANSWER: "Zero times. That's right—NEVER." Thank you for your strenuous lack of attention to this fact.

here's footage of Mamdani alongside city workers filling the 200,000th NYC pothole since the start of his term This is part of his push to spotlight city workers and inform New Yorkers that all the fixes they ask for "should be directed to the real heroes, City Workers, who can be reached via 311"

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a ban on “addictive” social media features for anyone under 16, advancing some of the country’s most significant new restrictions on tech platforms.

This keeps happening.

Remember this is the law and order party. Ross Ulbricht is a convicted felon and the owner-operator of Silk Road, an online marketplace that facilitated the trade in narcotics and other illegal products and services. Trump pardoned him after he made substantial donations to MAGA.

I’m not willing to regard Trump slaughtering wild horses at the same time he’s offering Americans cheap “ground beef” as simply a coincidence . . .

And while the Trump regime punishes Canada, our ally on 9/11, it lavishes favors (military, financial, and diplomatic) on Saudi Arabia, the country that gave us most of the 9/11 terrorists. What a messed up administration.

NEW via Politico: Members of Trump's political team asked Ohio Republicans to NOT wage a public pressure campaign against GOP Rep. Max Miller, despite the serious domestic abuse allegations against him. tinyurl.com/4dw9pwwt

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Ogles lost his primary tonight.

Trump's ICE thugs are not detaining the worst of the worst, but those like Reverend Johnson.

See, it's funny because it's true. #Sad

Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Maria Bartiromo push complete BS about public schools secretly making kids trans without the knowledge of their parents. McMahon says she's doing a number of investigations about it.

No one has done anything to try to enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He's breaking that law. Who has filed Articles of Impeachment for that? Who has invoked Rule IX and forced a vote? WTF, @houserepublicans.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social ?!?!

LGBTQ Nation: Lauren Boebert said on Tuesday that the moon landing was faked in an Amazon warehouse. The moon landing was in 1969. Amazon was founded in 1994. The level of her stupidity exceeds the limitations of my medication.🙄 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

How long is too long? Kentucky deserves answers. If Mitch McConnell can’t fulfill the responsibilities of the office, Kentucky deserves a special election. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #KYSpecialElection #SheShed

Trump on data centers: "You have to convince your communities how great these things are. You can't fight it. You have to go with it."

BREAKING: Justice Department agrees to withdraw subpoenas issued to New York Times reporters in leak investigation related to new Air Force One jet. Withdrawal of subpoenas follows hearing before NY federal judge, who indicated he was inclined to quash the subpoenas.

is there a pulitzer for photo captions because if so @theguardian.com just won it

“.. Members of the group Patriot Front ride the metro on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in Washington, D.C.” @reuters.com

"James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell...There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells? ...The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people and he has people, his former personal lawyers, who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law." Jack Smith

In the last 8 days, Fox News has posted 37 stories and videos about Caitlin Clark. It's overreacting to a hard foul in a basketball game to promote a story line that scary Black lesbians are out to get the white hetero woman. The story/video count was 21 when I wrote this Monday, but Fox won't quit.

The federal government was a party in 21 of the 56 merits cases #SCOTUS decided this term. All three Democratic appointees sided with the government in five of those 21 cases, and Justices Kagan and Sotomayor sided with the government in a sixth.

Biden: Putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Whoa. What a loser.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to Pennsylvania voter records. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. Another defeat for DOJ. DOJ is now 0-10. 👀 ELG remains undefeated! 🗳️⚖️💪 www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.

As the former President of South Korea serves a life sentence for his role in a failed insurrection, his wife just got sentenced to 7 years in prison for bribery. The US could learn a lot from South Korea what accountability looks like for power-hungry, corrupt grifters. youtu.be/nAUksLhLSKs?...

This isn’t as much fun as a funeral.

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

Republicans were FINALLY going to address an affordability issue. Bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in Senate and House. Big signing ceremony today. Mike Johnson holding press conference. Then Trump pisses on him while MAGA Mike is hyping that Republicans Deliver!

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Trump will release the video evidence of vandals cutting a 350 ft gash in the Reflecting Pool lining when he releases the Epstein files, and proof that the 2020 election was stolen, and evidence that the ICE agents who killed Americans acted in self defense, and

This really isn’t a difficult physical task to perform. bsky.app/profile/atru...

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

When Friends tell me that Graham Platner is a misogynistic nazi, it reveals they still dutifully watch and repeat FoxNews and afternoon talk radio. It’s absurd for anybody on the right to attack a dem over character issues. But those are the talking points nevertheless.

Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Over the past year, my 850-page Trump-Epstein Scandal epic PROOF OF DEVILRY—whose chapters get released as I have material to release—established that Trump took charge of hosting parties where girls were trafficked. 24 hours ago this bombshell dropped:
