Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"

Not Surprised: “A U.S. Postal Service official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a ‘secretive, rushed’ effort to implement President Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking those plans.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/u...
“These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire US government had access to them, that the documents Trump stole pertained to his business interests [and he] may have sold out our national security to enrich himself.” @raskin.house.gov

Republicans are hoping you don’t remember when they were putting Biden stickers on gas pumps when it was $3.00/gallon.
Feels like those were the good old days, doesn’t it?

Just wild that the Secret Service shot a Donald Trump supporter dead at Mar-a-Lago two months ago because he had a gun & was trying to kill the president over the Epstein files but—speaking only for myself—I haven’t heard a word about it amid the coverage tonight

You gotta give to the GOP.
They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.
This is just so corrupt on every conceivable level. There is no excusing it.
These people are The Shittiest Gangsters and we need to throw them in jail for the rest of their lives.
The Trump administration says they are keeping Kristi Noem’s $70 million jet, outfitted with a queen-sized bed and cocktail bar, for Melania Trump to use.

Reminder:
Israel’s navy consists of roughly 60 vessels, including submarines, surface combatants & missile boats. With 9.5k active personnel & over 10k reservists.

What are the chances that the intelligence about the US military that Russia is providing to Iran was initially provided to Russia by its obedient lapdog, Donald J. Trump?
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem testified that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours.

Given DOGE’s f#ckery at SSA, I am not thrilled that the “SAVE America Act” aims to compel states to purge voters via SSA’s Number Verification system & DHS’s SAVE program, which accesses the SSA system. I wish some election security experts would look at this & talk me down.
For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.
If by “briefly detain” he means capture, imprison, fly to another state, hide from their attorneys, and then possibly release, then yes, they have been briefly detaining people.
