How about Russia "gets" the hell out of Ukraine?
Harris received more vitriol for purchasing expensive cookery than Vance being on his 8th vacation in 7 months.

Nothing says “tough on Russia” like giving Putin a red carpet, an air show, and a bro hug.
Low energy. Sad.
"Hold my Diet Coke," said Trump.
So he punted again, while Ukrainians are dying.
The party of small government is now the party of big brother.
New official portrait of Trump and Vance readied for planned ballroom.
Snowflake.
Trump had been helping Putin since he returned. Arms to Ukraine were stopped. Voice of America was shutdown. USAID was terminated. US Anti Hacking and Counter Hacking operations against Russia were shutdown. Trump publicly attacked Zelensky at the White House. … Trump works for Putin!
The monetary equivalent of Trump Steaks.
Melania got her Einstein visa by claiming she was an anthropological expert in dating fossils, especially rich ones.

Gabbard cannot answer a question about how she can explain why Marco Rubio when he was a senator exonerated Obama of the very things she’s now accusing him of
Hannity 2019: I have zero doubt that Russia meddled in the 2016 election…I’m certain they did. Devin Nunes was warning Obama in 2014 Hannity 2025: They all lied. I’m proud that this show got it right. The rest of the media went along with the lie.
Incredibly, Johnson still doesn't seem to have realized yet that everything that Trump touches dies.
As Donald wrote to Jeffrey on his birthday, a pal is a wonderful thing.
Because everything he touches dies.
Only a matter of time before he pardons Maxwell.
How long until Trump pardons Maxwell, now that he's fired the prosecutor who put her behind bars where she belongs?

“A threat to humanity”? *Rosie O’Donnell* is a “threat to humanity”?? Who’s next, Rikki Lake? Joey Fatone?? Urkel???

Luckily for Justin's right-wing political aspirations, felony convictions don't prevent mentally unstable people from being successful candidates.
Deal: an agreement entered into by two or more parties for their mutual benefit, especially in a business or political context. Two or more. Not one.
For those celebrating.
If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to
McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."
Who knew there were so many billionaires in Alaska?

The last time the US used “instincts” as a basis for war:
Rainmaker says white's black and black's white - Bruce Springsteen
That was the shortest two weeks in history.
Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.
We could've had healthcare or like vaccines
Sad that it falls to a clown like Carlson to push back while the mainstream talking heads seldom bother.
My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

Making music — even if you aren’t especially good at it — can still be good for you. Music has the power to soothe the mind, promote brain health and bring people closer together, research has shown.
$45 million for this bullshit parade for Trump. I don't ever want to hear a fucking Republican tell me we don't have money to make sure every American has good health care. Give me a break.
Watching Tom Homan talk and Stephen Miller tweet really drives home the fact that not only are they not sending in their best and their brightest, they don't HAVE any best or brightest.
This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊
She was right.
Why would anyone listen to Andrew Cuomo about anything at this point?
We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #NoICE
Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."
This guy is going to hell.
This is how you talk to them.
This seems at odds with a president who extended his "warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and wish[ed] Joe a fast and successful recovery."
I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.
(checking notes) Yup, Joe Biden is not currently the president.
Boy, try to find the sympathetic party in this face off... apnews.com/article/trum...
Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
Who'll settle for only two dolls?
So what exactly are we paying him for?
"No means no" is something that he's never been able to comprehend. His legal history with women can confirm this.
Looks real to me.
Not an immigrant.
This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.
Making America a shithole country one executive order at a time.
The guy couldn't even fix his own businesses. For 35 years everything he's touched has died.
Anybody applauding Trump for playing the long game on tariffs is a rich asshole who's never lived paycheck to paycheck. Politics isn't a business—you do stupid shit and people get hurt.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.
If these guys are geniuses at finding "waste," why do they have such trouble finding government employees they fire before realizing in a panic that letting them go was a threat to national security or public health? It's almost as if they have no idea what they're doing.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!
