This former Republican is more outspoken and truthful than the majority of elected #Democrats
"This is a criminal president and a criminal administration. This is straight-out fascism. This is about ending democracy. These people are destroying the Constitution. And if we say it in words that are any less blunt, we are not telling the truth."

Pretty sure the solution staring everyone in the face is to prosecute the murderers and send the rest home.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

"Gone is the language of collective responsibility and rules-based international order. In its place is a blunt hierarchy of interests: Americans first, American territory first, American leverage first — and everything else is conditional."

America First = America Alone.

We are not better off.

Statements like this by @barackobama.bsky.social are entirely INADEQUATE.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

FEDWATCH: “.. natural gas is up 68 percent this week .. If the shutdown happens while the economy snarls under a piece of ice, and Powell may signal an extended hold .., the stagflationary sentiment of higher inflation/slower growth could return quickly.”

YES! Go Seahawks!
Hey, so. The team made this thing. It's a “Live Event” on Discover and Explore for the NFL games. It’s on a predetermined schedule. If you're not in the mood for it, you can dismiss it. It’ll go up later today.

Ellison: "They're coming after our state because we voted 3 times for somebody who's not Donald Trump, which he has said he resents deeply and believes is not even true. I can tell you it's not about fraud ... He's sending armed, masked men. This is a pretext"

⚡️🇷🇺 Russian Telegram users ask, “Where’s the heat in Moscow? Why no power in Murmansk?” Well, they backed a war that burned billions on destroying Ukraine instead of fixing their own infrastructure. Now Russian cities freeze, and no one bombed them—just their own bad choices. Russia’s collapsing.

Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of a citizen and besmirching everything they stood for -- someone has to be accountable."

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Trump is really taking a toll on the US economy. There was a report out this week from IW Koln which showed German investments in the US dropped by 45% between February and November and exports fell by 8.6%, the steepest decline since 2010.

Driven by trade uncertainty and threats of higher tariffs.

“The notion that these masked enforcers are legitimate law enforcement is a fiction. They are paramilitary operatives. They are thugs in the service of a regime.”
