Sidelining Trump, China's Xi rolls out carpet for Ukraine war aggressors reut.rs/41ze1dI
Announced themselves with "bone-petite" 🤦♂️
Putin increased bombing as soon as Trump was sworn in, but sure.
Wait, the guy who lusts after his daughter is posting about the guy who..
At this point, I hope he makes to 110 just to troll.
Diplomacy has its place, but we've made the world virtually consequence free. Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, et al, can do anything and simply deny or deny intention, and that's the end for all intents & purposes.
You've abused the term when you're penciling in your next(tba) national emergency.
Schools are reopening in Ukraine for the start of the new academic year.
Jessica Reidel is an economic policy expert at the Manhattan Institute. Formerly, as Brian Reidel, she has published books and advised presidents.
The person he's replying to has an account marked intolerance. My understanding is that all posts are auto hidden once that happens.
Sure, but thanks to Trump's negotiating skills, we can now sell the beef that we don't have to a country that didn't want to buy it. Libs owned.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Best I can do without getting banned ...
If I had a say, Canada and all democratic nations would move as though the US is done. Even if we escape the current situation, the build up leading to his 2nd term exposed who & what we (US) are, along with our actual values.
Too much to unpack in this one.
When Trump gets off his subservient ass and does something with Russia, then can run his mouth.
👀
I still use tidbits of info from this book in some of my 'big picture' posts.
TEA
All items needed to overcome Trump's billions of "de-fence spending."
In case anyone still isn't aware of this amazing resource for free articles. Great group of Bluesky'ers helping to keep everyone informed. bsky.app/profile/did:...
Thanks for 🎁 link, El Ess.. and F these people.
"Rural-evangelical virus".. yeah.
Here is the piece, which emphasizes the limits of scolding corporations and nudging people. Fine as far as it goes, and represents one small part of what RFK does, but you really have to work hard to define that as "MAHA" the week after Kennedy purged the CDC. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Last week, @julieroginsky.bsky.social & I showed how Russia used Nazis & white supremacists to influence the 2016 election. This week, we dig into how the Kremlin penetrated Fox News and other right-wing outlets Check out our series, subscribe, and please share so people can be armed with facts
It's his imagination and we're just lucky to be living in it.
Remember Dmitriev (head of Russian sovereign fund)? He attended the meetings with Witkoff, summit in Alaska..

He is also racist, but he is ALSO very stupid.
The thing about Curtis Yarvin is that he is stupid. Very, very stupid. Here he is mixing up "Roma" and "Romanians." He is very stupid.
I will not forget the double standard, US media.
“I’ve never met anyone else remotely like him…He is and was profoundly stupid, completely lacking in intellectual curiosity.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Thread: this is Russ Vought giving himself permission to ignore Congress and the constitution
And you'd think with her history, she'd know better than to put people in that position.
IDC enough to debate it, but this doesn't read like something Trump wrote.
"seeking..partial SS numbers" seems like a quaint way to discuss their open efforts while obscuring the collection of information through more dubious means.

"..other side of the world" Uh oh. Sarah Palin about to inform them that she "can see Russia from her back porch."
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
I knew from memory that Lorenz was misleading with a few things and making others, like candidate support, intentionally muddy. Remove her hyperbole & her article said the creators couldn't use the *org's $* to promote unapproved candidates, not that they can't promote whoever on their own dime.
Russia ignored Trump’s two-week deadline for serious negotiations, Zelensky said, accusing Moscow of deliberately dragging out the war. www.kyivpost.com/post/59234
This is what happens when you obliterate the presumption of regularity. Endless homework assignments because the court can't trust the government to follow orders in good faith.
It's hard to fully understand what those immersed solely in conservative media *think things are like right now. The bubble and filtration are so complete in their news sources that, for the most part, GOP supporters truly believe things are going well and that they're the "good guys."
*was incredible. The GOP passed their event horizon. They no longer see a free and fair way to retain power, and they're not giving it up willingly.
The GOP has gone too far to turn back if they want to retain power (rhetorical). No matter what Schumer thinks the right shorts choice will do while chatting with Repubs at the gym.
'But not political, like that saving the planet crap'🙄
Because he's old and needs med care, most likely. Idk about anything imminent, but c'mon, he's not Mick Jagger healthy older, he's frying pan of pork chop grease, old.
Said it was his sister, so it'll either be okay or some Trump type stuff.

For everyone asking, it was June of 2020. Here's another angle from a news outlet. youtu.be/dbRhUWGd98I?...
Wuut? Everything here is a contradiction.
If they block bc of that, it's 100% because they at least want the opportunity to harass others.
Remember, the SM team isn't even the NYT headline they present to the world, which is far worse . Here is what the editor wanted the world to see, painting his authority as murky.
Start packing your bags now for your upcoming "Trump Touristic Riviera and Islands" trip -- in Gaza.
US media sealed "fake news" as an acceptable answer for anything when they adopted "both sides," access journalism, and cleaning up autocracy for personal gain. Data and truth aren't "biased" because they benefit one side over the other.
Thanks, but it's just a sign of how far our media has fallen. My responses match my level of shock. My lack of emotion just means MSM, no matter how low they now sink, can no longer surprise me with their depravity. :/
Cliff notes version. An entire people are being wiped out bc of zealot regimes.
You intentionally left its history predating the Nazis out of your *headline. So, now your story is Russian propaganda. Is the clickbait worth it?
The closest the House could come on Bondi would be to cease funding to the DOJ. Would seem insane normally, but Bondi has pulled federal investigators off of the most important cases and placed them on Trump's private agenda, anyway.
Stuart Stevens named funding matters that the House can control under spending. What Anu is referring to is people demanding new legislation. Which the president has veto power over.
They learned after "presidential immunity." This court has a way of seeing things that aren't in the Constitution.
It appears it's because they had already submitted everything, and there's no Kansas mechanism in place to change out one member once they've completed the entry process. But he can start the full process over again with a new running mate.
I honestly don't know about the Dem, sorry. I had just seen the headline earlier.
Lawmakers in California killed an anti-AI price manipulation bill, and "a bill that aimed to protect electric utility customers from bearing higher costs associated with data center proliferation" that "required data centers to publicly disclose how much energy they use," per @khari.bsky.social:
His running mate withdrew and that means he's not eligible to be on the ballot for Governor.
Truman: The Buck Stops Here. Trump: It’s never my fault. www.axios.com/2025/08/30/t...
Yeah. Imagine if Biden.. bsky.app/profile/ronf...
Meh. The media doesn't report any of his insanity to average people who decide elections anyway. "Imagine if Biden.."
Benny Johnson, a right-wing podcaster, is among the new media figures who enjoy rare access to the Trump administration in exchange for their promotion of the White House’s agenda to millions of online followers. He stands out for his record of plagiarism and promoting false claims. nyti.ms/4gb5yn1
McArdle's ethics are "complicated."
Her moral high ground seems to have a lot of flexibility.
From Feb 12: She knew better, but had no courage.
Oh, for pete's sake. Here we go again. Let's install an agency head who's philosophy is anti-the-agency...
I get it, but it should be said simply bc it's true. And I've not seen headlines suggesting any introspection at all has occurred.
We're a hell of a species, aren't we..
Donald Trump quieted baseless rumors he died by complaining about "stupid" White House contractors. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Tennessee authorities say a cold-case investigation reveals that a sheriff who inspired a Hollywood movie about an organized crime-busting law enforcement officer actually killed his wife in 1967 and led people to believe she was murdered by his enemies.
Hehe, I like this one.
Oh yay. The perpetrators are investigating their own work again.
One of many things that the media BARELY touched on back when people could've tried to prevent it.
For Black Memphis residents already burdened by pollution, the gas turbines that powered Musk’s supercomputer raised concerns. The Chamber of Commerce downplayed fears by claiming 9 government agencies oversee the facility. That’s not exactly true. By @wendicthomas.bsky.social, w/ @mlk50.com
But, "It's not an authoritarian regime as long as we still have elections." Or so I'm told.
He already had some red flags as mentioned, but after his stroke, it intensified greatly. He refused the mental evaluation that people often need to monitor personality changes that can occur post stroke. Several of his staffers anonymously told a reporter that he wasn't the same (worse) after.
"Imagine if a Dem"... was doing any of this crap, ffs. I place US media only a fraction below the actual perpetrators.
Europe's fault? Still anyone else except the invading country, I see.
Every day is like a new adventure.. a terrible, terrible adventure.
Sigh.
Not one of my family ever answers a phone. Or even has the ringer on for that matter. It's basically just a call log service for them. Them: I can't find my phone. Me: Should I call it? Them: ... Me: Yeah, don't know why I even asked.
Lol, WTAF are you on about? It's a "science" account. Your odd pro misinfo stance is weird.. but not as freakishly weird as 'seeing me on a date.' I think we're done here.
Fair enough. I do hear questioning misinfo is unpopular in our brave new anti-education world.
