The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

"Comically unqualified, intensely partisan, & unflaggingly devoted to whatever ridiculous thing bubbled out of Trump’s mouth 5 minutes ago, as the next DHS secretary, Mullin will fit right in what will undoubtedly be regarded as the worst presidential cabinet in history." β€” @paulwaldman.bsky.social

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.

They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

I don't know how many Muslims are in this guy's district. I know there are tens of thousands in mine. They are parents. Entrepreneurs. Police officers. The firefighter-paramedic giving CPR to save your life.
They are us.
They are American.
This tweet is NOT American.

Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?

Increasing evidence points to the murder of Jeffrey Epstein. Who is involved in the cover-up, and why isn't the Trump Administration releasing more evidence and being transparent with the public?

Post from the Maine Wonk asking whether JD Vance or Donald Trump thanked Ukraine after a tweet noting the U.S. is deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East despite previously cutting off Ukraine’s weapons.

Tweet by Senator Patty Murray criticizing Trump’s Iran war, saying the narrative has shifted from β€œthis isn’t a war” to fighting until unconditional surrender while Americans die and prices rise, arguing Congress must stop it.

The DHS shutdown ends the minute Republicans agree to reasonable ICE reforms that the majority of Americans agree with. But they refuse any changes because masked, poorly-trained paramilitary agents terrorizing communities is what they want.

Probably not gonna stay up for the Moon tonight so I'll post this instead, since I had to make a few minor changes. I'll tell you what though, staying up almost all night when you're 64, ain't the same as doing it at 24! #LunarEclipse #Totality #MoonPhotos #MoonShots #Photography #SantaBarbara

This is a bs β€œapology” from Fox. They claim it was β€œinadvertent” - a lie. They aired old footage because they didn’t want to show Trump wearing his campaign hat during the ceremony. Then in this statement they STILL don’t show the correct footage of Trump. bsky.app/profile/aaro...

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore.
This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries.
They have said, "Thank you President Trump." | have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the
"Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Former President Barack Obama on Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"He was talking about everyone who was left out, everyone who was forgotten, everyone who was unseen, everyone who was unheard, and in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be."

In a phone interview with Israel’s Channel 12, Trump demanded President Herzog to give Netanyahu a pardon β€œtoday,” saying he doesn’t want Netanyahu distracted by anything other than the war with Iran.

He called Herzog β€œa disgrace”, who β€œpromised me 5 times”, adding: β€œTell him I’m exposing him.”
