I had no idea that Nicki Minaj wasn't a citizen. If she loves the US enough to get involved in elections, I wonder why she's never become a citizen? She came to the US when she was 5. She's 43. No shade, no one HAS to become a US citizen. But if you care enough to try to affect elections, why not?

A typical Trump move. Spend what others have built up. For him, there is no tomorrow, there is only what he wants right now. For context, in '82 the US pop was 231 million w/ ~160 million vehicles. Today it's 350 million w/ ~297 million vehicles. www.oilandgas360.com/u-s-strategi...

How can the DOJ sue over something that hasn't happened yet? Blanche is a stain on the legal profession.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

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”

As Trump proclaims that he is happy oil prices are high, adding "I don't give a damn, I'm gonna say it: We're making a frickin fortune," remember that the 'we' refers to Trump, his family, and his donors. 99% of American people are suffering, the Trump only cares about himself and his donors.

Trump doesn't care about pedophilia and rape? I'm not surprised, considering he has committed both acts.

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

Are there ANY Republicans who are willing to call this out for the insane BS it is?! A Russian company controlling American gas? You're ok with this GOP? Sen. Collins, are you concerned yet? @troyjackson207.bsky.social would actually be working to stop it if he were Senator right now.

40,000 metric tons ~ 290,000 barrels of diesel. The US burned about 2.9 million barrels a day in 2025. This shipment might last about 1/10th of a day, or 2.5 hours. This shipment is about 1/8th of the total. So Trump sold Ukraine out for... roughly 20 hours of diesel. www.kyivpost.com/post/87760

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

I'm so, so sick of today's GOP.

Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)@portlandken.bsky.social

As usual, every MAGA accusation is an admission: Trump calls anyone who does not support him "a paid protester." The reality is that the MAGA movement is hiring professional agitators. The father of the Michigan heckler has a $250,000 contract for hiring people to disrupt Democratic events.

Not every vile and disgusting thing this admin makes the news. In part, that's because they do so many horrible things. Trump's disdain for govt is well understood. Rubio's is actually surprising to me. I didn't like him, but I did think he was mostly a serious person.

Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)@portlandken.bsky.social

The State Department has now covered up the memorial to the 321 American diplomats who died serving their country abroad. I personally knew a number of those dead heroes who gave their all serving their country. Some were killed along with their families. Trump and Rubio have erased them.

I know people want to scream at Trump voters who are only now figuring out it's a scam, but we need to bring them back into the fold of sane people and keep them there to stop the NEXT Trump from happening.

ARIZONA TRUMP VOTER: “I regret it… This presidency always benefits the powerful while the poor at the bottom struggle.”

Kevin Hassett is a master liar. His ability to ignore data and misrepresent what is happening is 2nd only to Donald Trump.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hassett: "If economic polls were correct, then people wouldn't be taking trips to nice hotels, they wouldn't be flying, they wouldn't be buying cars, they wouldn't be doing all the things they do when they're feeling good about the economy... people are acting like we're in a boom. We are in a boom"

Exactly right. Niemöller's words lay out the shift in the Overton Window that occurred then. Amb. Fairfax had laid out the first verse of the shift we're currently seeing. Fascism arrives bit by bit, not all at once. And we know in the US it'll be wrapped in the flag and holding the Bible.

Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)@portlandken.bsky.social

Trump is taking us straight back to 1939... Martin Niemöller continues to sound the warning bell, all his immortal words need now is a couplet about "They came for non-Whites, and I did not speak out, because I am White."

Do EVs and heat pumps deliver no carbon savings until the grid is fully decarbonised? A recent paper claimed so. It's wrong. Even running entirely on gas-fired power, both cut emissions by about half. Our open-access response in Environmental Research: Energy: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

If I had to guess, PCHC was near bankruptcy because the GOP opposes raising reimbursement rates. "We can't afford it!" says the party that's paying $600 million for fucking ballroom, hundreds of millions more for an arch, and hundreds of billions on an unnecessary and illegal war.

Hastert was a monster, pure and simple. He hurt so many kids. Less monstrous, but still bad, he damaged our political system. The Hastert rule was a contributor to our polarized Congress. Then there was the Bush tax cut. And I remember him salivating as he led the impeachment of Clinton, too.
