Kirk is undeserving political praise and honor. He was a Christian white nationalist bigot, who spouted divisive hateful and violent rhetoric. And anyone who "denigrates" his memory by revealing the truth about who he was and what he stood for deserves the protection of the first amendment.

"Imagine a mother who would run away—abandoning her children—because she chose a pedophile rapist over her own flesh and blood. And now imagine that woman slithering out from her hole to defame her daughter in the service of helping a cretin."

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

Trump is gutting the Clear Air Act and poisoning our air by "prioritizing the economic interests of corporations and easing costs for polluting industries." Congress needs to end this administration's pay-to-play corruption.

NEWS: Robert De Niro delivers a blistering rebuke of Trump and the Supreme Court in a new video condemning threats to voting rights. “I’ve got a message for them: no f**king way.” He urges Americans to vote early and protect their right to vote. Watch.

How in the hell did we get to this point where putin has a whole administration of useful idiots eating out of his hands!?

This story still doesn't provide full clarity on what happened. This is a good topic for House Democrats to investigate should they win the majority.

I’m the lead sponsor of the West Bank Violence Prevention Act, and what’s going on in the West Bank, by the settlers, at least. is clearly ethnic cleansing... So, yes, it does, I think, create fundamental problems in the relationship.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Instead of using American economic power to pressure the country that started this war but shows no capability of winning it, Trump is offering that country economic relief while criticizing the nation that is successfully defending itself.

This is one of the most evil things I’ve ever seen in modern politics

He is right... absolutely appalling : x.com/BarackObama/...

BREAKING The BBC subpoenaed Jack Smith for a deposition to defend itself against Trump's defamation lawsuit. Smith didn't object to the subpoena. Team Trump opposes. buff.ly/cf6GaG2

The documented grift exceeds $2.9 billion. But "the corrupt exploitation of our government by Trump, his family & his cronies is likely far larger & more egregious than we know—hidden in secret offshore accounts & reliant on corrupt intermediaries around the world." open.substack.com/pub/america/...

So, as it Turns Out, America Lost the Cold War: "There is no mistaking who is in the driver’s seat in this relationship: Putin. There is no mistaking who is taking orders from the Kremlin. There is no mistaking which country benefits and which pays the price."

Meta shut out Indivisible from Instagram on the No Kings Day meant to rally people to vote.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Putin has incomparably more influence in the West Wing than he has in eastern Ukraine. Indeed, his only hope in eastern Ukraine sits in the West Wing.

Trump’s worldview is that it is good for evil to prevail and wrong for the righteous to resist.

It seems to me Trump is is accelerating and expanding his treason with Russia because he knows it will be harder after the midterms when the Republicans are no longer able to cover for his crimes.

There are exactly zero lawyers who would say this

As I first reported on Monday, Katie Zacharia is not a lawyer and has never been licensed to practice law. The WSJ reports that she took the California Bar Exam but failed. Nevertheless, Zacharia appeared on media programs for YEARS and repeatedly called herself a lawyer. Here's a super cut:

“Good to see President Zelenskyy in Brussels. We talked about the importance of implementing an energy ceasefire as well as NATO Allies’ continuous support for Ukraine, including through the PURL mechanism” Mark Rutte Secretary General of NATO

"Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, while Kyiv received no warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running."

I'm sorry but the key priority for the next US SecDef has to be extracting Elon Musk from every single thing related to US military contracting. No Musk company should receive any government contract of any kind from any Dem executive.

Victor Marx is out with a new direct-to-camera appeal: "What if everything negative you'd been told about me isn't true?" Except nearly all the "negative" reporting on Marx is based on his own claims made on video.

"Luckily Blanche suppressed his capacity for shame, and so he feels nary a twinge at staging a pre-dawn raid on a sitting member of Congress while simultaneously calling the search of Mar-a-Lago as a gross abuse of law enforcement." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Donald Trump is putting a new trade rule in place that will raise the costs of prescription drugs for millions of Americans. The rule could also cause shipping delays or block access to some drugs entirely. If he cared, Trump could stop this immediately.

This is a shameful and continued betrayal of Ukraine. Putin loves it. And all our enemies are celebrating. The president may not stand with Ukraine, but most Americans do. And especially most American veterans. More next on MSNow with Alicia Menendez.🇺🇸🇺🇦

Ossoff: "I want to remind folks across Georgia that while you pay more for everything as a result of Donald Trump's incompetence, the president and his family are enriching themselves to the tune of billions of dollars ... we urgently need to restore checks and balances"

I say we tally up all the times JD Vance has brought up the subject of transgender kids in public and all the times Talarico has brought it up to see exactly which one's hard drive we need to inspect.

I urge you to support Ilhan Omar’s campaign for reelection. If Democrats regain control of the House, they must investigate this flagrant abuse of power against her by Trump, Vance, and the Department of Justice. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-and-vances-islamophobic-target

More security breaches traced to AI companies tinkering with experimental or insecure models. The call is coming from inside the house. All the more reason to regulate internal use. My @brennancenter.org brief explains how 👇

NEW: #CO4 GOP Rep Lauren Boebert says she opposes Trump’s “detrimental” war on Iran, but said that Congress can’t stop the war through show votes. “Your job is to vote,” said Democrat Eileen Laubacher.

Among other things! A.S.A.P.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The warrant, and the application to issue the same, need to be unsealed post haste.

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

I guess we know what the “quo” is for the “quid” of Russia ostensibly supplying diesel to the U.S.

He knew. He intentionally stiffed them because he’s an arrogant prick who sues his OB/GYN patients. They repeatedly tried to get the bill paid. Then someone posted their pleas on social media. A bunch of us retweeted it. It went viral. ONLY THEN did this scumbag pay.

Loser. Traitor.
