The Chinese Communist Party got access to sensitive components of U.S. F-35 stealth fighters. The U.S. got 2 pandas.

Media people still trying to tell you RussiaGate was a Clinton/Never Trump Republican grift know nothing of Russian history. RussiaGate is how Ukrainian Trump Viktor Yanukovych got elected, using same operative Paul Manafort, who, by the way, introduced Trump to Todd Blanche.

Trump depended on Russian money for decades. His idiot sons said they depended on Russian money. Read @timothysnyder.bsky.social's Road to Unfreedom, @craigunger.bsky.social's House of Trump, House of Putin. The Kremlin poured gasoline on our own crises like corruption, white supremacy terrorism

🚨 URGENT! 🚨 Republicans tucked a rider into the defense bill (NDAA) that lets the Pentagon seize CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS — to help out an oil company! It already passed the House. The Senate hasn't taken it up yet — which means there's still time to stop it - see first comment!

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.

Under Trump: -An ExxonMobil lawyer runs DOJ's Environment division -An Amazon executive runs OSHA -A crypto and prediction markets lawyer runs the CFTC -A private prison executive runs ICE The list goes on... The revolving door is spinning out of control.

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.

Mark this moment. This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out. A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party. He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.

NYT Exclusive: The contractor given a no-bid contract to repair the Reflecting Pool is being paid an inflated and excessive profit margin. The typical margin of federal construction contracts is 6-12%. But the firm fixing the pool submitted a bid that charged 20%.

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

Just a quick reminder that Ronald Reagan yanked the solar panels off the White House. If America had remained on the path Jimmy Carter set us on, nobody would be talking about the Strait of Hormuz or gas prices right now. Republicans have been fucking America and the world for decades.

So it's November. The people Trump placed in charge of the USPS are told to throw away any mail in ballot envelopes from zip codes in known blue leaning districts. The votes never arrive, are never counted. SCOTUS just said this is entirely legal.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has also been promoting Heritage Foundation collaborator Jonathan Haidt, who promotes the trans contagion conspiracy theory (basically the internet is turning your kids trans so we need KOSA). And Joseph Gordon-Levitt is selling this to liberals! www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6wR...

So my connect the dots here is that there will be some allegation that there was foreign interference in the voting — Hugo Chavez, Italian satellites, etc. — (hence why DNI is involved), making it a nat sec issue that they will use to justify doing something crazy/illegal in Nov

It's terrible that ICE is abducting five-year-olds. But BlueSky wine moms sound so cringe and hysterical when they talk about it. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

A video posted in the past week, claiming to expose fraud at Somali-run child care centers in Minnesota, has been viewed by millions of people. The scale of the reaction to the video highlights the way the White House seeds narratives, then rewards sympathetic creators who deliver viral content.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

It’s really remarkable. Most don’t even know what’s happening because they outsourced their critical thinking to the Times, the New Yorker etc But on a fundamental human level how can someone not at least find it interesting watching a whole planet shift geological ages in the blink of an eye?

ProPublica could not find evidence Trump ever lived at either of the two Florida properties he claimed as principal residences in the 1990s. Legal documents and other records from the period give his address as Trump Tower in Manhattan.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...
