Zelensky on Venezuela:

“About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you”

Omg I love it.

Lame-duckification is my new battle cry!
Thank you, Aaron.
"While Dems are likely to retake the House, they’ll need everything to go right to win both chambers. But if it happens, a year from now we’ll be talking about Trump's full lame-duckification & what it means for 2028. That’s a nice note on which to end a year in which hope was in such short supply."

Surprise! It’s another scam!
Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

AOC: “President Trump ran on a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst — What we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals — In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record”

Ailing wannabe dictator yelling at his people and insisting that they're getting richer and safer when all the evidence demonstrates the opposite.

🧵Read Friedman’s very important article as we weep for Ukraine and our European allies. @normornstein.bsky.social thanks for highlighting the shame we will forever suffer⬇️
Tragically, Tom Friedman is right. This is utter appeasement to a monstrous Vladimir Putin. Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Dan Driscoll, selling out America and Ukraine to Russia. Disgusting and disgraceful.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

America has given up on the future.

And every panel and battery that China exports is a reduction in the potential market for US fossil fuel.

We need to treat the oil companies as stranded assets, failed businesses that need to be wound down.
The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

Dear fellow Christ followers:

Tonight, God gave you one more data point on Trump. He is clearly immoral and evil. I get it, you hate the left. But your leader seems to like things no man should.

This is your chance to leave. This is the last chance too.
