KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

Newt Gingrich: Resigned in shame. Dennis Hastert: Child molester. John Boehner: Chased out by Freedom Caucus. Paul Ryan: Quit in disgust. Kevin McCarthy: Forced out by Freedom Caucus. Mike Johnson: Spineless “Christian.” American politics isn’t broken, just the GOP.

Trump is trying to convince people that Obama and Biden made up fake evidence implicating him in the Epstein case, inserted it in the file, and then KEPT IT COMPLETELY SECRET It’s completely nonsensical

More than 30 models were hired by Trump Model Management and brought to the US using the H1-B Program. Federal Law makes it clear that the employer must pay the amount stated in the H1-B application, in this case $75,000…. By failing to pay…the Trump is in clear violation of immigration law.

It's amusing the way MAGAs are all fixated on who flew on Epstein's plane and went to the island, when Epstein's bestie Donald Trump lived less than a mile away from Epstein's New York mansion and was a regular visitor there.

This is amazing and brave. They tried to officially ban Pride after trying to kill it with a million pricks. The Project 2025 playbook has been field tested.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

The highest court in our land has determined the government can deport human beings to countries not their own and without any legal review -- until at least such time as a court rules this unconstitutional. And, oh, the matter will be litigated for years. Welcome to the American gulag. It's here.

Day by passing day, we are watching what amounts to a national police riot by ICE. But what worries me is that what we are witnessing is not the actions of an agency that believes it will ever be subject to meaningful oversight or legal authority ever again. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-believ...

doomsdayscenario.coICE believes it will never face accountability againThe Trump administration is letting an unaccountable secret police form at the heart of our democracy.

📌 GOOD READ The killer wrongfully used the atrocities of the HAMAS-Netanyahu war as "a pretext to harm Jews." 1) HAMAS is evil 2) Netanyahu is a tyrant 3) All Harm against innocents is WRONG But Jews in 🇺🇸 aren't responsible for ANY of that! 🛑 STOP THE HATE! 🛑 www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

@markwarner.bsky.social Please, I beg of you, stop giving them permission to use stupid culture war issues to destroy this country.

This is why there’s been so much silence as Black history and Black books are being purged, and integration efforts dismantled. Many Democrats think the purges are valid and necessary. “Candidly, the attack on over-the-top wokeism was a valid attack."

There’s a viral IG post of some MAGA troll citing 10 projects DOGE cancelled because they cost a combined $15.4M. The troll presents it as an example of how DOGE is “increasing efficiency.” Here’s the thing — that's less than 2 days of corporate welfare given to Elon Musk for his companies. 1/4
