WITKOFF TO PUTIN (yes, that Putin): “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute that. I commend you.” 🤯 we are so cooked. Russia was never a hoax.

America is *now* an ally of Russia? I'd argue it started in 2016 when the Trump campaign and the RNC softened the language on providing lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine as part of the Manafort/Kremlin/Yanukovich "peace plan" to cede Ukrainian territory to Putin. But okay. We can go with "now".

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

After banning CNN, MS NOW & Politico from the White House, he installs State-Run television, just like they have in so many other countries... Sieg Heil, ya'll. #38Days 🌊

Mike Rogers was a leading advocate for boosting opioid prescriptions. He took over $1M from Big Pharma. He has always prioritized personal profit over the health and safety of Michiganders. That's not public safety. Watch our new ad, "Safe."

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

BREAKING: Judge Kelly has ordered the government to RESPOND to the CNN/MSNOW/Politico TRO by TOMORROW, and a hearing is set on the Temporary Restraining Order motion for WEDNESDAY at 3:30 PM.

The DOJ official who made the threat is the same guy who was instrumental in brining criminal charges against Abrego Garcia - charges that a judge threw out for vindictive and selective prosecution.

BREAKING MS NOW: A top Trump Justice Department official warned managers in a recent conference call that federal prosecutors could be fired if they decline to investigate and pursue cases of reported election fraud. Legitimate voter fraud cases are extremely rare.

This woman was gang raped. The rapists recorded it and circulated the video online without her consent. This is the patriarchy. We’ve got men drugging their wives and recording internet strangers raping them. State troopers raping babies on video. Now this. Burn it down.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Could you imagine anyone else in the history of history, let alone the President of the United States, so blatantly defiling the memory of our fallen brethren? What a terrible, broken person.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

When I spoke out about the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, my inbox got flooded from service members and their families. The Guard and Reserve were built to be the force that you call up when the nation truly needs it. That is not what’s happening in the war with Iran. (Link below)

Did you know if we add four seats to SCOTUS in 2029, we could bring back the charges against Trump for January 6? They could overturn the immunity ruling and consider tolling the statute of limitations for the duration of Trump’s presidency. We could also resurrect the classified documents case.

Cuppa Joe reposted

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

@replamonica.bsky.social is pregnant and faces 17 years in prison for simply doing her job as a member of Congress conducting oversight. Trump’s disgusting weaponization of the DOJ must be stopped.

Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social

The Trump Regime opposes any transparency into its industrial detention complex that treats detainees like animals & generates billions for private companies. One of the first to warn us was @replamonica.bsky.social who is being prosecuted for just doing her job: youtu.be/X36sQ4xh8OI?...

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

While Joshua Aviles works 12+ hour shifts on the USS Lincoln on a deployment of more than 250 days for Trump‘s illegal war of choice against Iran, his father, Luis Manuel Aviles, has now been arrested by Border Patrol and faces deportation courtesy of the Trump Regime:

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea for 200+ straight days, and reports say conditions onboard are so bad that multiple sailors have tried to jump off. Our servicemembers deserve better than this. There needs to be an investigation.
