Offering the Trump family the middle of fantastical phantom "deals" is how Russia finally got control of US foreign policy, all now written in the Kremlin.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

It feels like our government is overrun by inane teenagers. Popular ones look quite demented, and the other ones are clueless, and the school bus driver is nowhere to be seen. Guess what happens next…

Never forget that CodePink supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine, denied Russian war crimes, and organised pro-Russian rallies. I don't care if you like their Palestine takes. These people are vatnik trash.

A very old scenario: first you manufacture a crisis, then you throw so much power to “resolve” the crisis that it squashes any and all liberties and privileges in the name of stability. Worked in Rome, worked in Berlin… You would think people learned something, right? It seems not.
As ICE agents prepared to fan out in L.A. on Friday, they were greeted by a familiar face: Dr. Phil McGraw. He was embedded with a camera crew for his Merit TV show. His presence underscored the made-for-TV nature of the Trump admin's moves... www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/m...

The footage is being incorporated into a special report on “Dr. Phil Primetime,” a program on McGraw’s conservative TV channel Merit TV, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN.

Kropyvnytskyi city in Ukraine got under the biggest Russian drone attack tonight. There are wounded, including a child. What they attacked? Apartment buildings. So don’t tell me Russia is ready to talk real ceasefire. Russia is only stalling and fooling you so it can continue attacking my people

How nice that they will make a decision about the fate of Ukraine! And of course, the Ukrainian army (largest in Europe and battle-hardened) will turn around and go home just like that.
Tuberville: "Zelenskyy's gonna play hardball, but you know what? He's not even in the game. It's gonna be Putin and President Trump and the people on our side that will end up making this decision for the future of Ukraine."

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

There was a real hero today in the Oval Office, and two despicable lowlives attempted to bring him down. I am glad he left without signing their deal. It will be very hard for Ukrainians but they will prevail.
Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.
Trump to Zelenskyy: "Don't tell us what we're gonna feel. You're in no position to dictate that. You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel. We're gonna feel very good and very strong. You're right now not in a very good position. You're gambling with World War 3."
