If McConnell had allowed the GOP-controlled Senate to impeach Trump after January 6, 2021, none of this would be happening.

Republicans MUST be punished for their corruption and the damage they're inflicting on the United States by losing their seats in Congress.

VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS IN 2026.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

No point obscuring that this clip is about the very real possibility that Epstein did not kill himself.

R.I.P. Rob Reiner. A dear and generous friend for 56 years. I’m speechless and heartbroken.

The 6?corrupt Supreme Court justices will rule against Trump’s tariffs cuz 1) their billionaire benefactors think it’s bad for business and 2) it’ll save the economy from tanking further and possibly prevent a GOP election bloodbath in 2026.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Given that the Russians quite literally drafted our capitulation plan for Ukraine one has to wonder about whether there wasn’t at least a bit of cutting and pasting here.
"The Kremlin on Sunday welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump's new national security strategy and said it largely accorded with Russia's own perceptions, the first time that Moscow has so fulsomely praised such a document from its former Cold War foe."
