Democrats need to either advocate for kennedys removal, litigate against him, or impeach him. It’s too serious and too dangerous to allow him to continue to dismantle public health and to wait until deadly diseases emerge and children’s lives are lost #Trump
A minor thing, but still: RFK gets flustered and accuses Lujan of "showboating for your ads." They aren't allowed to use footage from hearings or on the floor in campaign ads.
Gavin Newsom Press Office on X, posted this hilarious video as a response to Trump’s recent attacks on Newsom.
Really not enjoying the combination of “nobody has a job” and “everything is expensive now”
America, 2025
Seems that way. They said they know, so why haven't they identified who was on it? Out of respect for their privacy? More likely, they had no clue who or what was on it or where it was headed. All we know is they saw a civilian boat and blew it up and bragged about it. That's just murder.

Oil giant ConocoPhillips is planning to lay off up to a quarter of its workforce, amounting to thousands of jobs, as part of broader efforts from the company to cut costs.

If it's fascism, Fetterman fully supports!
The reason America is an exceptional nation is because we attract the strongest people… the people who have the strength to pick up and leave bad lives in other countries to come here and start anew. We get the best people. Stopping immigration will destroy us.
I think it's important to note that Venezuela is saying this didn't happen. They've recovered no debris, and they contend the video appears to be a deep fake. Yet crucially, the US media is mostly avoiding reporting this, or examining the video. www.cbsnews.com/video/venezu...
Just because the US has gone insane doesn't make the Maduro regime honest or trustworthy. They're terrified right now of possible US strikes or worse within Venezuela. This would serve as a face-saving excuse for not doing anything about it, no escalation, but it's very unlikely to be true.
New tonight: The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to uphold his global tariffs on the heels of its appeals court loss, seeking review in a case that could affect trillions of dollars in trade and give him broad new leverage over the world economy www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Summarily killing a boat full of suspected illegal migrants rather than summarily killing a boat full of suspected drug dealers lowers the approval rate with the American populace from maybe 35% to 25%.

This tactic - pressuring corporations financially until they put a regime friendly voice in charge - is exactly how Orbán took over the free press in Hungary
This is sick and a war crime.
JUST IN: Trump appeals to the Supreme Court to try to save his tariffs
I think it’s bad that every single media outlet is on its way to being an explicit right wing propaganda machine
If you are Co-President Stephen Miller, and you want to scare the brown people that you hate, there is a reasonable chance you would intentionally order a boat blown up on video full of immigrants. Intentionally.
So Hegseth’s missiles were fired at a boat: ✅ they had no idea where it was going ✅ they had no idea who was on it ✅ they had no established authority to act ✅ but definitely wanted to murder whoever was on it Everyone involved should rot in prison forever
I’m listening to them tell their stories while the guy trying to cover it up is flying fighter jets over their heads. Beyond surreal.
High road democrats aren’t bad people. They’re simply in denial about how dire things are. Or afraid. Or unable to meet the moment. Wish them well. Then vote them out. Fighters only.
The Epstein list is a who’s who of the rich & powerful. The reason Trump and the DOJ are shielding them is because they are rich and powerful. Every time we try to hold them accountable, the systems we believe were meant to deliver justice falter and betray us. (1/4)
The fact that the Epstein survivors had to give a press conference outside – and not in the halls of congress, shows you exactly who is guilty AF and the power they are wielding to try and silence the victims.
The president thinks he can order the killing of people without citing any legal basis. And so far he’s correct.
My parents drove 2,000+ from Pennsylvania to a lake house a couple hours from Calgary, to visit friends they met in Vegas. They sent these photos of the lake house when they got there and I'm... a bit worried about their choices. Is this what parenting teenagers feels like?

The person who posted this on “Truth Social” has lost his mind but has not yet lost the nuclear codes.
Oh he forcefully denied them ok
Massie (R) says Republicans are being threatened by Trump to not support the release of the files. As one does when one is totally innocent!
This is a defining moment for America, for accountability and justice. The still “free press“ needs to cover and investigate more. Sweeping this under the rug is not just negligence. It’s criminal.
I think little Marco is a weakling. But if you do what a Nazi tells you, you are indeed a Nazi.
“They just see us as little toy soldiers to put on the street to show some muscle.” Alex, a National Guard recruiter who requested anonymity to speak freely, told Mother Jones that the DC mission has deterred potential recruits and pushed soldiers to their breaking points.
When the National Guard is bored, you should probably withdraw them from your nonsense mission, Mr. President.

What is today's date?………….
"Trump’s biggest vulnerability is only starting to enter public consciousness. While he won by promising to lower costs, his economic 'policies' are so irrational they're driving the US toward stagflation the likes of which hasn't been seen since the 1980s."
Between Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Israel's genocide and Trump massacring suspected migrants in international waters, it really feels like "international law" is a relic of the past
When your lethal military action is definitely super duper legal.
There it is. The Commander-in-Chief issued an illegal order to the U.S. armed forces within the Southern Command's Area of Responsibility, and the U.S. armed forces carried out that illegal order. www.state.gov/releases/off...
This headline should, in a reasonable world, create a national scandal that topples the Carney government. In a reasonable world under a reasonably competent government, we would be actively seeking to distance ourselves from the U.S. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk
Zelenskyy arrived in Paris ahead of the coalition of the willing meeting
The government woke up little kids in the middle of the night to try and deport them. One little girl vomited from the stress. Another broke down crying. DOJ lawyers then claimed — in court — that parents actually wanted the kids returned to Guatemala. @notus.org: www.notus.org/immigration/...
These are simply the worst people
nobody knows yet what’s true but it would not be the tiniest bit surprising that the intel was bad / inconclusive (on what basis did they determine a specific little boat with outboard motors was a transoceanic drug smuggling op?) and that‘s why we have laws and don’t just murc people on suspicion
this would have been a crime even if the boat was smuggling drugs and not people, but that it was likely carrying desperate people means it's even more urgent for opposition leaders to call for hearings on how this happened & under what authority, & to specify consequences for those who ordered it
A US military "advance team" arrived in Chicago yesterday, per leaked memo I obtained:
Defense Secretary Hegseth does not rule out regime change in Venezuela, saying: "That's a presidential-level decision and we're prepared with every asset that the American military has."
Trump administration formally requests military assistance for Chicago, per memo I obtained. Read the full document here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...
“The former official also said it was unusual to have 11 people manning a vessel that could easily be crewed by two or three, especially since traffickers are always trying to maximize the amount of cargo space devoted to carrying drugs, not human beings.”
Live your life so your attorney never has to file a brief with the topic heading "the meaning of prostitution has changed over time"
They want to keep releasing the same Epstein documents and hope we’re too stupid to notice.
It was never about the victims for these right-wing grifters.
If the White House considers releasing the full Epstein files a “hostile act,” there is only one conclusion: Guilt. Guilty. He's guilty as hell!
This is all so gross. A vote for Cuomo is a vote for Trump. Every New Yorker should know this. And for @SenSchumer & @RepJeffries to continue withholding their support from Zohran is outrageous.
Creating a force that can kill people at will almost anywhere on the globe and then giving control over that force to one person with no operable constraints is a way to make very bad things happen. Intentionally killing non-combatants without trial is one of those.
My mom had polio. I grew up not worrying about polio. I will always be thankful for vaccines.
Fuck Russia- they have North Korean troops in Ukraine. Get real.

This administration put an anti-vaxxer in charge of the federal health establishment, so its placement of an unabashed racist at the EEOC? Yeah, that tracks.

Hey. Maybe tax billionaires before they destroy more of society.
Billionaires don't need their media to be profitable, for the most part, unfortunately. That is another part of the problem. Like remember everyone saying "Bezos could fund this for years at a loss" well, that was correct and it sucks.

Rep. Andy Ogles praises Trump for the deployment of the National Guard to various cities and says Trump deserves his Nobel Prize nomination and a third term. Seeing Trump’s physical and psychological deterioration, Republicans shouldn’t expect to see Trump for long.
