Trump administration reverses course, extends Russian oil sanctions waiver The Trump administration on Friday reversed course and extended a waiver on sanctioned Russian oil and petroleum products amid the Iran war, just days after a top Cabinet official said the U.S. wou…

Nikki Haley called Russia the ‘biggest winner’ as oil prices rise amid Iran conflict ... butter our butts and call us all biscuits, she's proved right again.

Trump’s Acting A.G. Says He Won’t Release Even One More Epstein File Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is behaving like he has no authority to release anything else.

"If we didn’t release it, it’s because it was not responsive to the law, and therefore not part of the Epstein files," Blanche told FNC.

Trump's personal lawyer, now acting atty general, decides what gets released under the law. When does the Trump regime do anything under the law?

And here we thought ruining America was Iran's job.

Didn't take long for the Jackass-in-Chief to make things worse. Don't worry, be happy? Yikes.

'We got our butts kicked': Republicans reckon with Democratic success ahead of the midterms Republicans have had some setbacks this election year, with recent Democratic wins Wisconsin and Georgia.

“In rural, urban, red, blue, Democrats have overperformed everywhere,” said Jared Leopold, a Democratic consultant whose clients include Keisha Lance Bottoms, candidate for Georgia governor.

“That is a significant canary in the coal mine about what November of ’26 is going to look like.”

Former Secretary John F Kerry made it perfectly clear.

John Kerry tells GBH that Iran war has been a ‘long-held dream’ of Netanyahu The former U.S. Secretary of State and Massachusetts senator forged the 2015 nuclear nonproliferation deal with Iran that President Trump pulled out of.

The only president daft enough to go along wth making Bibi's dream come true? Obviously, Donald J Trump and here we are. #AVeryDangerousMoment

We are grateful to the lawyers on the front lines across America in our fight to protect democracy and the Constitution.

Thank you Bill Galvin and staff in the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office!

Massachusetts appreciates the work of Gov. Healey and AG Andrea Joy Campbell and their staff.

Diagnosis: batshit crazy sounds about right.

‘A wow moment’: Democrats make big gains in key battlegrounds They notched a landslide victory in Wisconsin and cut into the GOP’s margins in Georgia’s reddest House district.

‘A wow moment’: Democrats make big gains in key battlegrounds

Right now, we are witnessing a preview of what could happen in the USA this November. Hungary's opposition party, Tisza, is so far ahead in the polls that they are on track to win a supermajority in the parliament, spelling the end of Orban.

The only way Orban can remain is to subvert the election.

That'd be returning to our sacred roots ... not political revolution.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The lack judgement only serves to prove the man is a time bomb on a short fuse. What billions of people across the world were put through by his instability and inability to lead with seriousness of thought that's required from the leader of the free world is no small defect.

Cooper more popular than Whatley as NC voters retreat from GOP, new poll shows North Carolina voters are growing less keen on Republicans keeping control of Congress, a new Elon University poll shows. They also share concerns over the economy as well as the Trump administration'...

The poll shows Democrat Roy Cooper with a broad head start against Republican Michael Whatley among registered voters, in terms of name recognition as well as popularity.

Some 27% of voters say they know little to nothing about Cooper, while 64% say the same about Whatley, WRAL reported.

‘How do we 25th Amendment his a**?’ Alex Jones joins calls to remove Trump over Iran Former MAGA allies and members of Congress urge Trump’s removal as the president threatens to eliminate Iranian civilization

"Trump literally sounds like an unhinged super villain from a Marvel comic movie. This IS NOT WHAT WE VOTED FOR!!”

Well.... that's what you got AND you and yours put the rest of us in the cross hairs.

You can't make this shit up.

Direct question from Justice Amy Barrett was, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but what about the Constitution?" That's exactly what we want to know, as does the rest of the free world. #WhatAboutTheConstitution

Help me out here. No "war" has been legally authorized by Congress and now, the USA is bombing first responders helping civilians who are wounded. How does any of this square with the US Constitution Agent Orange swore to "preserve, protect and defend"?

I love when he accidentally tells the truth!

The incompetence, folly and cowardice really comes into view the more Johnson tries to talk like he knows something, especially when it comes to what Trump is up to. Johnson has consistently proven to be a know-nothing, do nothing wimp of a speaker -- and plenty of Republicans know it.

#NoKings 🧵 What distinguishes government by king from government by the people? Two main things: separation of powers + the rule of law. 1/2 can’t name our three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial.

DHS Includes People Extradited to the U.S. and Serving Prison Time on ‘Worst of the Worst’ List NOTUS found that some of the people the Department of Homeland Security touts in its apprehension database were apprehended abroad and brought to the U.S.

DHS has claimed 25,000 "the worst of the worst" were apprehended on U.S. streets — but local officials, law enforcement and critics have repeatedly pointed out that some of these people were already in prison, not migrants. Liar, liar, pants on fire ... facts are pesky things.

And now for something completely different ... human kindness.
