I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”
Military archbishop: Troops could refuse orders on Greenland

Trump and Rubio are doing such a great job running Venezuela that the U.S. is now warning Americans to leave Venezuela to escape armed militias.
And they want companies to go to Venezuela? No way companies will do that.

Do you think it’s a coincidence that Trump said today he would soon talk with Bolsonaro? Of course, it would be much easier to take that call if Brazil’s presidential felon escaped to claim asylum in the US Embassy.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Certainly DOJ will interview former employees and vendors who serviced Epstein properties, and subpoena any CCTV video from his properties as part of its “investigation”. There are bound to be MANY workers who can say who was there and what went on. /s
Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.
If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.
Obscene.

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip.

And his fellow members of the Cuban emigré community who had their temporary protected status revoked by his Dear Leader should never let him forget this either.
Marco Rubio could have stayed in the US Senate and, much like John McCain, provided some defense against Trump's authoritarianism, but instead he will be remembered as a coward who sold his soul.

Has any one added up how much it will cost just to rebrand DOD as the “War Department” to fluff Trump’s ego? And which Trump crony is getting the no bid contract for that job? He sure loves to spend OPM!
The change will return the department to a name that it carried for much of its history, until it became the Department of Defense in the wake of World War II.
