⚡️'You cannot reward monsters' — US lawmakers demand increased pressure on Russia.

During a Feb. 3 press conference in Washington, D.C., the Congressional Ukraine Caucus called for increased pressure on Russia and said it is one signature away from forcing a vote on the Ukraine Support Act.

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this.

Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.
KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

My favorite part of worldbuilding is map making, trying to present an idea and atmosphere with it. For Bonfire Stars, I've tried doing something tactile and physical, like it could be sitting on somebodies desk #scifiart

Why do people report that Trump has shut down the Kennedy Center “for two years”?

What has he DONE: Shut it down.

What has he PROMISED: To reopen it in 2 years.

What is REPORTED: The promise.

What do we KNOW: Trump always lies.

"We were ahead until all the votes were counted, then we lost." Yeah man, sometimes elections work like that. It's why baseball games don't just end when your team is up in the 8th inning. Losing in the 9th doesn't mean you were cheated, it means your team stinks.
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

I encourage the White House to beef with the most popular artist on the planet in advance of his Super Bowl performance. I'm sure that will improve those approval numbers.
Leavitt on Bad Bunny saying "ICE out" at the Grammy's: "I think it's very ironic and frankly sad to see celebrities who live in gated communities with private security with millions of dollars to spend protecting themselves trying to demonize law enforcement public servants."

You can see how cold it is in Ukraine just by watching this video of rescuers extinguishing the fire and seeing water freezing right in front of them.

russia deliberately waited for another temperature drop to start bombing residential buildings and energy infrastructure again.

After a missile strike on Belgorod, electricity has gone out in parts of the city and the surrounding region, according to local channels. Water supply has also been disrupted.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off.

It's the only possible way to do it!
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

Pretti’s murder showed that when it comes to guns and gun rights, most defenders of Trump’s pro-fascist police state clearly believe the 2nd Amendment exists to protect conservatives but bind liberals. Or, when necessary, kill them when they’re on the ground...
