Barack Obama doesn't need to lie about an uncle inventing radar to make us think he comes from a more intelligent family than Donald Trump's. He just needs to open his mouth and speak a complete sentence.

Tennessee Brando delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's remaining supporters. “It's sad to watch people who are so miserable in their own lives get behind a man who is the king of misery, who just keeps adding more misery to their lives, and they keep cheering it on.”

Trump has continued to anger, frustrate and disrespect those countries we have long called our friends and allies. Now they don't trust us and there's no telling when or if we can earn it back.

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

I'm not a Michigander, but I sure would like to see this great team in action!

Obama: "Imagine the power duo of Abdul and Elissa. You got a Muslim man, a Jewish woman, fighting for you in the US senate. That's something, Michigan, you can be proud of!"

Two years ago, Skye Blakely ruptured her Achilles just days before the Olympic trials. This weekend, the Frisco, TX gymnast became WORLD ALL-AROUND CHAMPION, the first American woman since Simone Biles in 2023, and won four World Championship medals! #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

"Unstick" us by getting rid of Republican lawmakers. VOTE BLUE!

Obama points out that while we may be struck with Trump for two more years, we are not stuck with a spineless Congress

“There is no office that is worth stooping that low” — Obama portrays Vivek Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad as an affront to basic decency

Obama points out that values (or lack thereof) are just as big a problem for our civic society as affordability

We can't fix it overnight, but we need to take the first step, then the next and the next. Start it all by voting. VOTE BLUE!

Obama argues that we won’t fix our political problems unless we rediscover our moral compass first

"Right now, we’re living in...the world of Metro Surge, of kidnapped 5-year-olds & murdered mothers. It’s the world of 120 dead children, some of the earliest victims of Trump’s misbegotten, unnecessary war in Iran. It’s the world of the gleeful, remorseless murders of >200 people in boat strikes."

New in PN: In defense of empathy "Being aware of other people’s feelings, sensitive to them, and able to put yourself in another person’s shoes is pretty much essential for humans to function as a community. But the current conservative project has zero room for that sort of thing."

This video discusses how we can live with AI and databases IF we have the suggested guardrails. We need to implement these or similar laws so that we can benefit from AI instead of fearing it. But it can't wait- it must be done NOW, before it's too late!

The Big Tech oligarchs pushing AI want the rest of us to think we’re powerless to stop it. They’re wrong. We have the power to rein in AI — before it’s too late. Here’s how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_sCRveGK50

Huff Po's Paul Blumenthal on Donald Trump's actions post midterms: There's no magic day when he can stop Congress from being seated. There's nothing he can do, especially if it's a wipeout and Democrats win by a lot...

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

Apparently they expect to lose their case. They're appealing a ruling that hasn't yet been made! Crazy!

The Trump administration appealed its California ballot lawsuit to a federal appeals court Thursday — even though the judge overseeing the case has not yet ruled on its request to block the counting of thousands of ballots. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump has gone completely bonkers. He's now threatening to withhold needed money unless they vote for Republicans. Last week he tried the carrot ($5000) and this week it's the stick (taking away money). Stupid and likely illegal.

Trump told North Carolina voters he'll 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗙𝗔𝗦 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 if Republicans lose the House and Senate. You don't #SupportTheTroops if you threaten them and their families for votes.

Looks like Texans don't appreciate Republicans' attempts to suppress their right to vote. And it's an easy choice to choose Talarico over Paxton!

So ,Trump, Putin and Xi would meet to reach an agreement with Ukraine to end the war, but Ukraine won't be at the meeting? Makes no sense; especially since Ukraine is just defending itself from a takeover attempt by an aggressive Russia. And why China instead of Ukraine?

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

It all comes back to Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Somali-born strong Black woman. Just the perfect storm of the kind of person Trump fears most. So he wants her gone, along with all other Somali people living in Minnesota.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

"What Trump is doing now is next level. He’s not just attacking Somali residents. Rather, he’s calling for Minnesotans to attack them as well. And of course, it’s all based on absolute lies." — @snipy.bsky.social

Can Trump get any more delusional? He's also drunk on power.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.
