Venezuelan strike or ANOTHER DISTRACTION, FOR THE EPSTEINTH TIME.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Whatever bullshit announcement Trump makes today at 2:00 ET, whether it be that he’s dying, we’re going to war with Canada, or he’s writing an Executive Order that gives the White House to his kids, will be meant to take over the full news cycle for a week, to detract from these women. Don’t let it!
yep!
WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024. It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness. They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.
Enough said! #Pinks
A federal judge ruled what we all knew: Trump illegally deployed nearly 5,000 Marines and National Guard soldiers in Southern California turning our military into his personal police force. This brazen power grab violated federal law meant to keep troops out of domestic law enforcement.
It’s not going away. It’s too important. Believe Women.

Refusing to call somebody by their preferred name, be that a nickname or married vs. maiden name or whatever, is going out of your way to break a social norm in a way that's generally applicable to anyone. Doing it deliberately is understood (and intended) in any context as an overt insult.

Great photo. How do you say "pottery" in Italian? I love every piece. The colors!

How may I find out more history about the castle?
The "blue hour" view of Soriano's castle from our terrace is so beautiful on a clear night. I often look at it and marvel, but also remember that until 1990 it was a prison.
This is what a true patriot looks like—thank you for your service to America, Rep. Nadler.

In the early hours of 1 September 1939, Germany's Luftwaffe started bombarding the Polish town of Wieluń. The attack is considered to be the first war crime committed by Nazi Germany in World War II. Bombs destroyed ca. 70 percent of the town's buildings. Video: https://www.wielun.pl
Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". -seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951. This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.
Such a shame that I accidentally reposted this photo of Obama holding the Nobel Peace Prize. God forbid it goes viral!

To whom mulch has been given, mulch is expected. What a massive waste of money, time, and resources! All the while, the #PedoRapist and his coterie tell us that there's no money for national health care, none for student debt relief, none for proper care of veterans, none for housing the homeless.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
This is inhumane treatment. “No sleep, snacks only, no toothbrush. I didn’t brush my teeth for 13 days,” he said. “I was worried that I’m going to die.”

Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
Completely agree!
"There would be a special appointee that would focus on sexual assault in the military. How's that fucking going? Have we seen that? Or have we actually just seen women get purged from the military?" @timmiller.bsky.social and @radiofreetom.bsky.social on Joni Ernst's "promise" from Pete Hegseth:
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

When Trump publicly claims “the right to do anything I want to do” and the news media *still* won’t say his goal is a dictatorship, that’s both cowardice and complicity. And a shameful dereliction of duty.
Bill Cassidy, you could stopped this months ago if you had a shred of integrity.
“Has America run out of actual health practitioners with demonstrated experience improving public health outcomes?” Gawande wrote in a post on X. Pressed by lawmakers in his confirmation hearings in May about his public health beliefs, O’Neill said that he is a staunch supporter of vaccines.

Trump does not back the blue or the military. Micheal Fanone was there on January 6th as a Capitol police officer defending our country and our very democray. Trump pardoned these criminals who beat Mr Fanone almost to death. Trump is not a law and order president. He's a traitors president.
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
#LeonBlack told the Senate Intelligence Committee he “might have” gone to a strip club with #Trump during their 1996 #Moscow trip. In 2023, Black admitted in a settlement that he had partially funded #Epstein Island. In 2025, Trump made Black’s son head of the US International Development Corp.
