“You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial,” Mr. Trump said, referring to the murdered columnist. “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about. Whether you like him, or didn’t like him, things happen."

It is embarassing that only a news outlet from the UK has an accurate headline while our local papers keep saying "reports" without specifying a liar made that report.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

Trump has broken the law to prevent us from seeing his name in the Epstein files. Trump has broken our government to prevent us from seeing his name in the Epstein files. Ask yourself: are you sure he wouldn’t drop a nuke to prevent us from seeing his name in the Epstein files?

We can be so focused on how Trump is ruining our own country that we can occasionally lose track of the fact that he’s also ruining everyone else’s countries.
Gee. Wonder why this corrupt piece of garbage who’s been working to undermine peace in the Balkans was delisted… 🤔

I’m watching the movie Downfall (2004) that outlines the last day of Hitlers life in the bunker, and the experiences of those with him. I can’t stop wondering if this is what it’s like to be Trump right now. The thoughts of the followers in the bunker sound like lots of MAGA folks on Fox, too…

So if the remaining members of Congress currently in DC just declare congress back in session and start doing the work of the people again… would Mike Johnson have to return to DC and declare congress back in session to try to stop them?

So. Anyone have any ideas on how to stop Trump from starting an illegal, senseless war before the fact as opposed to punishing him for it after the fact?

My bluesky feed needs more kittens and flowers. Quick request: share some pics on this thread that make you happy. I think we could all use a bit more positivity!

I know I repost a lot of stuff, but I haven’t seen this story about Lindsay Halligan, trumps personal attorney now in charge of trying to persecute his personal enemies, I. The mainstream yet. This woman seems shockingly incompetent and out of her element.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

NBC news can no longer be used as a trusted news source.
NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”
The cuts:
📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)
📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)
📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)
📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people.
The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.
It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

Hey GOP: your children just showed us who you really are and how you talk to each other when you think no one else is listening. Don’t like what you’re reading? Yelling at the left for reporting your behavior isn’t the indictment of racism you think it is.
