Trump’s “plan” for Ukraine is simple: let Putin keep the territory he invaded, and expect Ukraine to be grateful for what remains. That isn’t peace—it’s capitulation. History shows rewarding aggression never ends conflict, it fuels the next one. www.politico.eu/article/trum...
The governor of TX is sending state troopers to grandmas’ houses.
Putin told him to do this. That’s a very important piece of the story. Im not kidding. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Both Trump and Zelenskyy were on their best behavior. If you listen carefully, Trump delivered all Russian standpoints. FOX confirms WH message that “Trump will make a case for land swap, but it’s up to Ukrainian people to accept it. Plus no NATO.” So Ukraine will be blamed. NOTHING IS NEW.

BREAKING: Trump makes clear why he is attacking mail-in voting. Trump: "If you have mail in voting, you're not going to have many Democrats get elected."
Anyone else just get a notice that thanks to “new federal laws” we can expect our ACA health care payments to substantially increase? This is going to hit all small businesses and self-employed workers HARD. The only way to fix this now is Miderms.
No one can convince me these masked “federal agents” aren’t white supremacists having a field day.
Every American Should Be Outraged I am so PROUD OF PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY and ALL of UKRAINE 🇺🇦 America, Always before Trump Republican and Democrat stood up against RUSSIAN AGGRESSION Sad Day for America
Oh, damn autocorrect. Land *SWIPE*
Trump: "If you [end] mail in voting, you're not gonna have many Democrats get elected. That's bigger than anything having to do with redistricting. And the Republicans have to get smart."
Australia, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, South Korea, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark all have mail-in voting and it works well in those countries.
Are you as embarrassed as I am watching Pedo 47’s corrupt, vile, lying, foul ass right now? How could these World Leaders sit through this? He’s lied about cleaning up DC, he’s lying about mail in voting being fraudulent, it’s disgusting! Much respect to President Zelenskyy #Pinks #SheShed
Doocy: "Are you prepared to keep sending Ukrainian troops to their death for another couple years, or are you going to agree to redraw the map?" Zelensky: "We live under each day attacks...We need to stop this war to stop Russia. We need the support of American and European partners."
This is nearly $900 million that news entities have had to pay out for publishing lies about the 2020 presidential election. Yet Donald Trump, who lost by more than seven million votes, keeps repeating the Big Lie and makes it compulsory dogma for his employees.
Trump on Russia/Ukraine: “I don’t think you need a ceasefire.” This is what you say when you’ve failed to negotiate a ceasefire.
DOGE is a really good litmus test for who to trust in the future. If you at all believed that Elon Musk and Donald Trump would make a good-faith effort to improve government, you've proven that you're a credulous dipshit and your opinions are permanently worthless.
Sherrod Brown believes Ohioans deserve affordable health care. That’s why he took on Big Pharma to cap the price of insulin and lower the cost of prescription drugs. Meanwhile, Jon Husted voted to rip health care away from 440,000 Ohioans.
Shout Out IOWA Shout to everyone who wants to take back the SENATE JONI ERNST is thoroughly disgusting Remember, "we're all gonna die" VOTE HER OUT Meet Josh Turek listen to him He's the DEMOCRAT WE NEED IN THE SENATE Please follow and support Him @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social
Republicans know Trump is Putin’s pathetic little puppet, but they’re way too cowardly to stand up to him. Time to wake up, MAGA. Your orange hero is a traitor to this country. Trump isn’t “America First” he’s “Putin First!”
Troops in the streets is not a distraction. It's something that was widely planned, discussed, and part of Trump's 2.0 agenda. It's a major component of the authoritarian project to suppress critics and advance Trump's agenda.
Shoutout to DC for the amazing turnout yesterday! #FreeDC
“Whatever the rationale for the administration’s agenda, the consequences are clear. These cuts are jeopardizing progress in many fields, including the war on cancer—in which scientists have made some truly impressive gains, especially in the past ten years or so.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
Ohio, West Virginia and South Carolina have all moved to deploy hundreds of members of their national guard to the nation’s capital as part of the Trump effort to overtake policing in Washington through a federal crackdown to take control of the city. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
So much for "the art of the deal."
Of course Convicted Felon Donald Trump and alleged "Christian" Republicans would listen to the hate-filled Laura Looney Loomer. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/u...
Trump's troop deployment in DC has made people scared to go out to eat. Dining is down almost 30% www.opentable.com/c/state-of-i... That's pretty MAGA!
If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
Putin must think Trump is the easiest mark he’s ever played. Trump got nothing!

Ace post
The REAL STORY is STILL THIS: AND WE MUST KEEP IT THAT WAY.
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
Heinrich: And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences a few things very unusual. You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. Soil here
Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left
In 1949, Superman told schoolchildren “our country is made up of Americans of MANY different races, religions and national origins. So… “…if YOU hear anybody talk against anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin — don’t wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN.”
STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.
"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who oversees the CDC, did not make a statement the day of the shooting. Late the following morning, more than 30 minutes after posting photos of fishing with his family, Kennedy posted condolences on his official X account..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/09/u...
Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."
When you see Cuomo attacking Mamdani over his rent stabilized one bedroom in Queens, do recall this please:
My law firm is currently litigating 48 voting and election cases in 23 states including 7 redistricting cases in AL, GA, LA, NC TX, & WI.
Epstein & Maxwell were predators. Maxwell should be locked away in max security. She has something on the Trump’s & it’s huge. That’s why he is giving her a quid pro quo. This is the most massive coverup in American history. Release the files. #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

Day 200 into Trump's second term, and we’ve seen the purge playlist play on repeat: pardons, power grabs, court wars, and rewriting reality. All the while, censorship and ICE are booming. Welcome to the new normal—or nightmare state. 5/5
While crime is down 26%, Trump says DC is lawless and homeless people must vanish from the streets—and hints at federalizing the city. Freedom meets authoritarianism under the guise of safety theater. 4/5
The Week in Review Imagine Trump jetting to Alaska for a one-on-one with Putin—plotting land swaps like it's some Monopoly game. Meanwhile, Zelensky’s begging for an invite like the guest of honor. Russia gets a handout; democracy gets the short end. 1/5
Pure gaslighting. Release the files.
The Israeli army just murdered Anas Al-Sharif a Palestinian journalist who covered Israel’s war crimes in hopes of one day ending the killings. His last post was from about a half hour ago reporting on the intensified bombings in Gaza City.
Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.
The Trump attack on UCLA for alleged antisemitism is the first on a public institution State Sen @scottwiener.bsky.social has thoughts: “Trump is now using Jews as human shields to achieve political goals having nothing to do with antisemitism." www.sfchronicle.com/politics/joe...

I have no words to describe this BULLSHIT Last month, some food banks across the Gem State started requiring an ID in order to receive food. Now, a Coeur d'Alene woman says the new bill is making her life more difficult. www.krem.com/article/news...

On today’s “To the Contrary Podcast,” I’m joined by Harry Litman, the author of Talking Feds. We break down the sweeping politicization of the FBI and DOJ under Donald Trump, from purging veteran agents to elevating January 6 rioters into senior roles. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
I know you're never supposed to mention Hitler and Nazism -- I don't care. So, I ask: Did Hitler and the Wehrmacht "earn" the territory they conquered? Why is an American ambassador talking like this?
Just putting this here for no particular reason.
While the FBI really has no jurisdiction or authority to become involved in what is merely a case of Texas politics Expect the White House to task FBI agents with arresting Democrats-so Trump keeps his House majority I mean-otherwise who will make sure billionaires continue to get those tax breaks
The Big Bogus Bill capping student loans-another nail in the coffin for minorities & underserved communities Why dream? Their opportunities, talents, & lifetime potential will be wasted They’re removing the competition of the right kids being educated because THEY can’t compete those kids
The administration that’s restoring monuments to the Confederacy is rewarding Russia for territory it “earned” by invading Ukraine.
Our healthcare system is already confusing and frustrating. Trumps Big Ugly Bill is making things worse. We’re already seeing how Medicaid cuts are impacting seniors being forced out of care facilities. Far reaching impact — making coverage for families and young adults unaffordable. Disgraceful.
10 journalists were put in cuffs and/or violently assaulted by LAPD on Friday night. @willbunch.bsky.social wrote his Sunday @inquirer.com column about what this means for press freedom nationally. My description: “Utter lawlessness by the LAPD... they seemed thirsty to crack skulls.” Gift link:
Defense Attorney Abbe Lowell says Trump's weaponization of the DOJ to target his opponents (including Lowell's client, NY AG Letitia James) “makes George Orwell’s ‘1984’ look like a Mother Goose nursery rhyme," and is creating a regime that targets Dems while Republicans "get a free pass." #Velshi
Trump’s “press conference” about “cleaning up” DC will also apparently also be an opportunity for him to again attack Jerome Powell.
None of the Epstein/Maxwell survivors were notified of Maxwell’s transfer to the minimum security facility.
BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to answer for its anti-voting executive order — and fast. The court asked the government to explain what it's done to enforce Trump's executive order which targets mail voting and more.
um. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Of course they did.👇
Wow
NY Times and Democracy Docket cover the same hearing. Notice the difference in framing. This is why -- right now-- we need independent, pro-democracy media.
Try and come for my marriage, you goons. Just try.
That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.
There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.
This is horrific. It leaves me wondering how anyone will prove citizenship if a birth certificate no longer does so.
And most likely the July numbers stating a dismal 73k job growth will be revised down as well.
Dear God, look at the jobs report revisions for May and June! This is not at all the rosy picture it looked like to economists over the past few months.
The cruelty is always the point with this administration.
Another terrible night in Kyiv. Days merge into one, years of war. Will anyone ever be able to stop this war? We got used to what is impossible to get used to. When the house next door collapses like a house of cards, burying someone's loved ones. ➡️ 11 deliveries My 🅿️🅿️ is subbotinawed@gmail.com
NEWS: The U.S. added just 73,000 jobs in July—far below expectations—while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%. May and June payrolls were revised down by a collective 258K, painting a trouble picture for the economy.
