Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Genocide supporters are real life ghouls. They revel in cruelty and abuse, they get satisfaction from torturing and dehumanizing others. They’ll cheer mass murder in Palestine, Ukraine, or anywhere else the moment they feel safe to publicly indulge that cruelty.

"The president is not well. He has tremendous difficulty staying awake on the job. He has repeatedly fallen asleep at Cabinet meetings, at White House events, at a Memorial Day ceremony, and most recently at a very loud NBA game last night."

Henry's brutal murder and the failures of the police have been appalling. His father's words are vital: "We don't want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

Thank God someone has the balls to say it publicly!!

WOW! "Britain's future lies with Europe - and one day, back in the European Union." Former health secretary Wes Streeting says the UK needs a new special relationship with Europe, as he calls Brexit a 'catastrophic mistake'👏

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

Milan’s Mayor, Giuseppe Sala, says that ICE agents are not welcome in his city during the Winter Olympics: “This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt.”

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

This is the most abhorrent thing I've ever heard! How can this woman possibly defend paedophiles!!

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Your daily reminder that the government continues to commercially support an individual who wants to destroy it through fascist violence.

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall, and it actually took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn, not the complete collapse of democracy.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific. That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers. You don’t get to change the narrative at will.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Apparently, no one seems particularly bothered, but for the past few days, Trump has been talking repeatedly about being a dictator. If Americans don’t want that, the window to stop him is closing quickly.
