It's all fun and games until someone loses a war.

“.. For years, the strategy among U.S. allies was to wait President Trump out. Now many are preparing for a world in which the United States is no longer indispensable .. regardless of who occupies the White House.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Elizabeth Warren Is Correct.......

Florida Senate officials threatened two newspapers with criminal prosecution after reporters uncovered evidence that insurance companies operating in the state shuffled more than a billion dollars to affiliated businesses while simultaneously claiming massive losses and pushing through rate hikes.

Scott Bessent The most clueless Treasury Secretary ever. Regarding the $40 trillion debt (of which Pedolf has contributed 28% in less than 6 years) - "Oh we can outgrow it". Economic growth is anemic and the debt is spiralling out of control

It’s only going to get worse everyday and in the foreseeable future the only hope there is to save our democracy is to vote blue, vote early and mail-in ballots.

I must be getting old because I've seen this Dems attacking each other right when it matters most thing way too many times. When we're all on the same team is when we win elections. Purity tests, Dems tearing down Dems, protest votes, and being angry with anyone with a different view is how we lose.

Trump threatened an ally with tariffs based on a Great Depression law famous for economic disaster, then proudly called delaying his self-made crisis a 'deal'.

United Arab Emirates' defense ministry said on Tuesday ​that it had detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran, ‌the first such incident reported since a May 4 strike on the Fujairah port.

American actor Richard Gere read the poem "The Other" by Ukrainian poet Yurii Izdryk, sharing a message of support for the Ukrainian people ahead of Ukraine's Independence Day. "I'm talking to you today from New York City. To the people of Ukraine, all of you, I send my warmest greetings and

🇷🇺Putin: “We need to offer every person in every region opportunities to find a well-paying job and to live a comfortable lifestyle”

Spare me the outrage, MAGA. You defended Trump through all of it, you have zero moral authority now that someone’s doing something you don’t like. And just wait—you’re going to discover there are many more subjects on which no one respects your opinion after you supported him.

Outstanding essay. Please take the time to read and share. An anecdote: I knew someone who was a Jewish refugee turned away by the US during the war. He was separated from his childhood sweetheart, who was admitted entry. They were eventually reunited years later, married, and raised a family here.

Big win today. A federal judge temporarily halted the proposed Warner Bros. and Paramount merger while our lawsuit proceeds. This is a critical victory for consumers, for objective and independent journalism, and for the workers, actors, artists and fans of our country's film and tv industry.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren caught it: up to $21 million missing from Trump's presidential library fund. She's given the foundation until July 29 to explain where it went. Somebody's finally asking. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/we-read-tr...

WTF!!! Is there anyone not connected to Epstein??

Absolutely deranged understanding of American government and the current times. The number of Justices isn't even in the Constitution, it's a statute from 1869! It is, in fact, not essential our Republic has a hyper-partisan GOP SCOTUS that makes sure its favored candidates and policies always win.

Rep Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) holding Russell Vought’s feet to the fire… 👏👏👏

Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear: 1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close. 2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to force Virginia to provide the DOJ with access to its complete statewide voter registration database. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. DOJ is now 0-14 in these cases. www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

I don’t know who did this, but A++ !!

Man, I love this piece. I have never read such a beautifully written description of psychopathy.

Everyone deserves food to eat, a place to live, and healthcare to keep them living. Trillionaires should not exist in the same world as food insecurity, housing insecurity, or medical debt.

To those of you tut-tutting about people speaking truth about Lindsey Graham because we can only say nice things about the dead: Lindsey Graham *slandered* the dead.

Bill Browder is definitely not a conspiracy theorist. He’s the man who wrote the Magnitsky Act.
