Trump said the U.S. wasn’t going to be the world’s policeman, but apparently he’s totally cool with being the world’s mob boss.

I really hate him and what he, his regime, and his supporters have done and are doing to our country and the rest of the world.
It is nightmarishly surreal that our staunchest allies now have to seriously consider us a threat. I am disgusted and appalled.

Trump has not ruled out using force to take Greenland, though he says he plans to pursue an offer to buy it instead. In response, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark issued a joint statement reaffirming Greenland’s status and sovereignty.

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis.
Impeachment must be on the table.

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

This is entirely because Trump wants vengeance for these states being solidly blue. Children will suffer because of his malignant narcissism - and Republicans don’t care.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

'Batsh*t crazy': Democratic representatives sound off on the White House publishing a website about January 6 that calls the insurrectionists “patriots” and blames officers for the violence. @pabloreports.bsky.social reports.

“Revised” is code for “Lies”

The White House published a website with a revised version of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack. It criticizes Democrats and some Republicans for engaging in what President Trump has called a “witch hunt” against him after the attack.

Five years after a mob of Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol to stop certification of Joe Biden’s victory, the Trump administration is still fixated on a false narrative.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Now, as he continues acting like a dictator, the strength of our democracy is being tested.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

Mark Kelly is a hero. So is his wife. So is his brother. He did absolutely nothing wrong. He literally just repeated what the law says.
The regime is retaliating against him to try to frighten anyone who would dare even hint at standing up to them.

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth.
This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.
