This is a “far-right” politician who was just elected in Australia. He proceeded to come out as gay and announce “I love immigrants.” Supporters are FUMING. Bro was a Trojan horse 😂 Bloody Brilliant 😎💙😎

Good news! Iran's nuclear facilities have been obliterated! It happened last June. Says so on an official White House site. Trump wasn't lying, was he? He wouldn't lie on an official government site. www.whitehouse.gov/releases/202...

Do not forget: Trump's former spiritual advisor was arrested in March for molesting a 12-year-old girl. The abuse lasted for years. Robert Morris pleaded guilty last month to sexually abusing the 12-year-old. This who Trump is. This is who he surrounds himself with. Trump is the Epstein files.

I'm old enough to remember when the Republicans shrieked for months at President Carter about the mere possibility that he might push some policy that might possibly benefit his peanut factory, and demanded that he sell it. This after he put it into a blind trust – something Trump refuses to do.

Trump was caught on a hot mic arranging a meeting between a foreign head of state and Eric Trump, who runs the Republican's family business. Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing GOP members of Congress used to care about? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR. When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Qatar says that they didn't know about the attack until the missiles were detected in the air, so Trump didn't bother to warn them the attack was coming? He didn't warn his own military? He's making crap up.

Hours after @pbump.com posted this today, ICE updated its figure to 500%.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it. If you look closely you can see her realize she is absolutely cooked in real time.

Good points

The 45-year-old director has spent his time jetting around to sporting events, social events, and Mar-a-Lago. He's also suspended an FBI analyst who worked on two Trump-related investigations. But, there are more signs that Patel is mainly interested in recreation rather than retribution.

newrepublic.comPlease Stop Trying to Get Kash Patel FiredThe last thing this country needs is an FBI director who wants to show up for work and zealously enact Trump’s agenda.
