🗃️ In January 1984, President Ronald Reagan hosted Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson at the White House after Jackson successfully secured the release of Navy Lt. Robert Goodman, who had been imprisoned in Syria.
A CBS News report detailed the event.
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
Pope Francis, who died in April 2025, left money in his will to purchase ambulances for Ukraine.
This was revealed by Sister Lucía Caram.
GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "I don't know why the administration keeps pursuing the pointless. But yet we see in the WSJ that it's all about trying to make agreements on rare earth minerals and natural gas pipelines, which Ukraine has no part of. Putin does not want peace. The president should see it"
It has taken this country almost 250 years to be $37 trillion in debt! One man alone responsible for 1/3 of 250 years worth of debt! At the same time making the majority of the country poorer, and him and his family raking in billions!
Beautiful retrievers
FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump
🚨 This is serious. Ex Reform UK leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, 52, pleads guilty to accepting bribes in exchange for making pro-Russia statements in the European Parliament when serving as a UKIP MEP.
These have been standard under ever other POTUS. Wonder what's up
Massie (R-KY) is just on fire: "I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes." #TrumpEpstein
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
I wish somebody would ask him to specifically list the "seven" or however many wars he claims to have ended and then hand him a map and ask him to show us on it where the wars were.
This paragraph alone should end all Nobel consideration…
Here the WSJ states plainly Trump’s retribution presidency is “worse than we imagined.”
No one had to imagine anything. He said he would do this. All you had to do was listen.
Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.
No American should accept how this country has treated Kilmar Abrego Garcia. No American. Thread.👇
WTF?
Donald Trump just interrupted his own Press Conference to brag about getting a photo from Vladimir Putin that he will be signing and sending back.
He then says that Putin wants to be at the World Cup in Washington DC, and says he's been very respectful.
What is wrong with this man?
ICE agents in Lynwood, CA tried to break into a barbershop without a warrant. When the owner refused to open the door, they threatened him: “I’m going to go get your dad and I’m going to get your mom!”
Is this the America we want to live in?
Golly, might he be fibbing?
Surprise! Russians don't want to meet with Zelensky
www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/w...
BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down.
Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed?
This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.
Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.
Looks like some Trump pals have to pay up
Life comes at you fast
Love this.
