The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Good question

Facts

Absolutely 👇

🚨BREAKING: Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday said the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) might launch more California-style lawsuits to block states from counting ballots for the midterm election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“It’s so much worse than people realize… we are sitting ducks…” Service members and military families share accounts/photos/videos of being attacked in Trump’s pointless war, as leadership fails them, and hides the truth. (From @MeidasTouch) meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch obtained NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. bases from Trump's Iran war. Troops and military families describe being abandoned by their own government. “It’s so much worse than people realize.”

Trump-aligned PACs are flooding Senate races with misleading ads claiming Democrats want to raise Social Security taxes because they opposed Trump's budget bill. The problem? The law didn't change how benefits are taxed—and accelerates Social Security's projected insolvency.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

The government of Israel openly supports and is aligned with the US Republican Party and vice-versa. And the two parties continue to tamper in each other's elections.

A Texas father of four enlisted in the Army in hopes of getting his wife legal-immigration status. When she arrived at a military base to pick up her ID card, ICE was waiting, @nickmiroff.bsky.social and @nancyayoussef.bsky.social report.

Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

This is a BIG BIG deal. This is fascism.

Happy Sunday, everyone. Are you ready for some good news? Afghans who served beside American troops across twenty years were promised that if they stood with us, we would stand with them. Washington is breaking that word, but Americans keep picking it up. Full story at link in comments.

WBIR has just 🤔released body cam footage of @justinjpearson.bsky.social standing up for his brother @keshaunpearson.bsky.social when Speaker Sexton ordered him forcibly removed by troopers from the house gallery - for no good reason, as even the troopers admit.

NEW: The order to throttle Starlink (Starshield) came from the White House to the Pentagon. I still think Elon was involved, though. He’s currently a Pentagon employee as well www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Of course, birds of a feather

Let's Try Bernie's Way.......

“Miller’s dreams of an expansive network of ‘camps’ – as he often calls them, even when other Trump aides privately argue it makes them sound like Nazis – only begin at Guantanamo Bay.” From @swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social an in-depth profile of Stephen Miller zeteo.com/p/stephen-mi...

Watch this clip from the Elon Musk documentary that he’s losing his mind over. I need to know what y’all think.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

🚨 Our DC Chief Scott MacFarlane was INSIDE the courtroom as federal Judge Ana Reyes erupted at Trump's DOJ lawyers. “I've never seen anything like that before.” Scott describes the judge screaming at the top of her lungs after the gov cut down hundreds of trees despite assurances to the court

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid. No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.

Today we got access to a smoking gun document from ICE that shows how it is weaponized against progressive groups registering voters while building a voter suppression database.

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

Read this thread.

It's Artificial Intelligence. It's Twitter. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Department of Defense. It's the Kennedy Center.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Yikes — abc news has fallen… “outright deleted” a story about the Trump boys getting billions in government contracts 🤔👇🏽

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.

“We believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology.” - Sam Altman. I bet he’d be singing a different tune if the “bad things” were going to happen to him.

NEW: During a rally just now, Trump invited Iran to “take out Los Angeles and San Diego,” saying it would be a “small price to pay.”

Here's footage of Jack Smith at the Iowa vs. Maryland game on February 3rd, 2024 btw

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.”

This is what the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool looks like today after a $17M deliberate fuck up and the orange felon won’t stop until he destroys everything. Makes me sick to my stomach every day.

The ICE agent who shot Araujo in a Houston is named GREGORY FEATHERS. Make sure everyone knows.

😕

Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner think the way to negotiate with these barbarians is to offer them business deals.

“Guard” US election systems? This is not good.

Tread on me, daddy.

Whoa! This part makes the story worse. Trump didn’t just appear in taxpayer-funded ads promoting himself and his policies. He personally helped orchestrate them, including helping choose the imagery and video. OUR TAX DOLLARS. HIS PROPAGANDA.
