Seeing talk of whipping up war with Venezuela to distract from Epstein & corruption scandals. Bombing Latin American countries for political points is immoral. We stand with the Venezuelan people & against imperialism. Accountability at home, solidarity abroad. #Venezuela #NoWar

DOGE shuts down having not found trillions of dollars of waste or saved any money.

They compromised the security of government systems, fired federal workers and oversaw the dismantling of USAID which has killed 600,000.

By 2030 approx 14 million people will have died.

That’s their legacy

🚨BREAKING: Judge Cameron McGowan Currie has dismissed the criminal indictments against James Comey and Letitia James, ruling that the prosecutor behind both cases was illegally appointed and lacked any lawful authority. A rare moment of the law actually holding the line.🙌🏽🙌🏽

Well, the case against James Comey was effectively dismissed WITH PREJUDICE because it can't be brought again.

Pam Bondi allowed the statute of limitations to run while her illegitimate prosecutor was wasting everyone's time.

You would think an Assistant Attorney General at DOJ would know this.

Commentary: The U.S. election outcomes suggest that despite the public’s clear concerns about Democrats, attitudes about Trump will likely remain the most important factor in next year’s midterm election.

Don’t forget the unfiltered anti-semitism coming from them too. Mamdani never called anyone a Shylock that I’m aware of. Or does he have tattoos associated with Christian nationalism like Hegseth.

As a non-Zionist Jewish woman who’s cousin was murdered in Israel, Jonathan Greenblatt fails. He claimed Elon Musk’s Sieg Heil was “an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm” — he compared the Palestinian keffiyeh with the Nazi swastika

ADL is essentially an arm of MAGA now, providing cover for violent right-wing antisemites and smearing left-wing allies as as antisemites. It is really terrible how quickly & thoroughly Jonathan Greenblatt has managed to turn such an important organization for Jews (really all of US) against us.

In politics, blending corruption and incompetence serves to create an "incompetence defense" when corruption is detected.
