Tell the Senate what you think. If Senate Democrats don’t have the backbone to stand up to this, let them know they wil have to stand in front of us in November.

👋 Former State Department War Powers lawyer here.

This statement by Rubio is false.

so far i think in the last 48 hours trump has called

- michael scherer at the atlantic
- jonathan karl, abc
- jake tapper, cnn
- axios
- bret baier, fox news
- the new york times
- the washington post

just noting that when he wants to sell a war, suddenly theyre not "fake news" anymore

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?"

HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling.

No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

How’s that regifted Nobel Peace Prize working out for that Mofo now? In this White Elephant Exchange of maniacs… who has the next number to nab it? Is that how this works or should we ask the Board of Peace for clarification?

This should be a bigger story.

A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

SPANBERGER: “His reckless trade policies have forced 🇺🇸 families to pay $1,700+ each in tariff costs. Even though the supreme court struck these tariffs down, the damage has been done. Meanwhile, the president is planning for new tariffs, another massive tax hike on your family.”

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

The Epstein Files reveal that the world's most wealthy and powerful men are either raping girls OR have absolutely no problem with other perverted men raping and trafficking girls as long as it helps their bottom line.

I can only hope this infuriates the majority against the elite.

Remember: it wasn’t the collective moral integrity and superiority of Americans that finally abolished the KKK.

The Klan was sued out of existence.

The same thing might happen to ICE.
