Steve Witkoff Advised Russians to Praise Trump in Talks Before Ukraine Peace Plan, Report Says Witkoff reportedly urged Russia to praise Trump for handling the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

Trump advisor Steve Witkoff was caught advising the Russians on how to pitch their Ukraine plans to Donald Trump in a leaked audio file.

Once you realize Trump and his Administration work for Russia and not the United States, it all makes sense.

Witkoff giving Russians tips on how to sweet-talk Trump before dropping their Ukraine pitch? That’s not ‘influence,’ that’s concierge service.
Trump’s circle is so deep in Moscow’s pocket they’re finding lint and old receipts.

This all makes sense.

I mean how could it be otherwise that Donald Trump would try to win a Nobel Peace Prize with a fake peace agreement?

Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. Benjamin Franklin

Hey everyone, just a reminder:

A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature

Because they do nothing in good faith. Every opportunity to speak is not seen as a chance to sell your ideas rather as a cudgel to wallop opponents so your sycophantic spectators can quiver in delight.

They have zero interest in bringing others into the fold.

Tim Walz Allowed Minnesota to Become 'Capital of Chaos,' Former Vikings Star Says

A former NFL star is blaming Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for allowing chaos to reign in his state ... just after two local lawmakers were shot. Jack Brewer -- a four-year player in the league who played…

#media #news

Blaming Walz for a politically motivated assassination is like blaming a coach because a player snapped, not only unhinged, but exploitative. Brewer’s “emasculated leader” theater is just Fox News victim porn wrapped in NFL nostalgia.
Folks are dead, and he’s touring the chaos carnival. Sickening.

The roommate of Minnesota shooter Vance Boelter, responding to MAGA lies that he’s a Democrat:

“He would be offended if people called him a Democrat,” he told CBS News, adding that Boelter “was a Trump supporter, voted for Trump,” and was happy Trump won the 2024 election.

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

So Senator Mike Lee thinks it’s a great time to crack wise after a politically‑motivated assassination of two Minnesota Democrats and a brutal attack on another senator and spouse?
That “Nightmare on Walz Street” quip doesn’t land, it sinks, exposing exactly whose nightmares he’s rooting for.

Trump directs ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities, undeterred by protests This comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

“Law & order,” huh? Funny, these days it means ghosting due-process, deporting passport-holders, and siccing troops on cities that vote blue. When the badge becomes a bludgeon, it isn’t order; it’s organized lawlessness.

Sarah never misses a “foot in mouth” opportunity.

Deploying Marines and Guard without notice? That’s not crowd control, it’s an authoritarian boot on democracy’s neck. LA’s protests? Mostly peaceful. A few flare-ups were seized to justify heavy militarization. The real message: dissent isn’t a safety risk, it’s a threat.

Ah yes, nothing screams “free and fair” like ghost candidates, firmware sleight-of-hand, and a private lab vanishing like a mob accountant.
If Kamala actually won, the irony is nuclear: Trump spent four years rigging the system so hard he broke it—and still couldn’t win clean.

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military:

“We don't take an oath to a King.

We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator”

“We take an oath to the Constitution."

a photo of sly stone with text that says “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.”

RIP to the great Sly Stone. A monumental loss. His PR just sent this out.

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

Firing the ‘Conscience’ of the Military Getting rid of the military’s top lawyers is not exactly a sign that the Trump administration wants to follow the law.

Now that it appears as though is sending active duty military into LA, it makes sense now why he fired ALL of the top military lawyers. These were the people who could declare something an illegal order. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Trump’s firing of JAGs is a classic authoritarian power move, like Caesar ditching the Senate or Hitler purging the Reichswehr. Remove the rulebook before rewriting it.

My god, ICE is everywhere.

This is ICE raiding a construction site in Florida.

But there are hundreds of videos on social media from New York, Southern California, Minnesota, Kansas, New Jersey, everywhere.

It is literally a gestapo takeover.

When your CEO’s healthcare plan is “die quietly,” you start to wonder if the algorithm’s been trained on Dickens.
