It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Protesters in Ocean Beach, San Fransisco made a human banner on No Kings Day today to encourage people to vote early for the most consequential midterm elections in US history. Beautiful.

So the United States Secretary of State doesn’t know anything about global warfare satellites besides what he reads in the paper?

WELKER: Who do you think is to blame for the disruption to the Starlink and Starshield services? ZELENSKYY: Of course the message came from the American government WELKER: Has the system been fully restored? ZELENSKYY: No, no. We have limitations.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

The act itself had the trap door in it, which is why so many Dems and some GOPers opposed it

Excellent piece. Explains how DT was able to write an EO and nullify the Lindsey Graham act. Only takes a few minutes to read. Please read and share.

WELKER: What are the implications of President Trump waiving sanctions for Russia? ZELENSKYY: Strengthening Putin's war against us ... it's more support for Russian aggression

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Trump: "This guy is a jihadist. Mohammed El-Sayed. He said 'my name is not Mohammed.' I said, 'I'm the President of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want.'"

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
