Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

The White House publication showing the tariff schedule. BIOT is listed with a 10% tariff.

A photo from above of the US military base on Diego Garcia. A runway is the most visible landmark.

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.

He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.

The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.

TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE

🤡

Oh, snap!

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

More of this pointed ridicule, please.

Vive la résistance!

Wow. Heartwrenching read, but worth it.

Opinion | The last 80 years have brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to the US, Canada, and Western Europe. It's time that we ended it.

J.D. Vance's lecture in Europe basically convinced every country to quietly create a new secret group chat without the US.

There is no one else who could calmly, factually and convincingly rebut the rampant disinformation line by line. Please, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, make it so!

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Congratulations America,
He spent $15 million of YOUR money to take a nap at the Super Bowl and leave before halftime…

All, on your dime.

I am still trying to come to terms with the idea that a billionaire has basically bought himself unfettered access to the federal government payment system of the United States of America.

Millions of Americans voluntarily bent their knee to one of the worst men on Earth. This will be studied by future generations with both shock and horror. Sadly, we have to live it...or try to survive it.

Who needs TikTok?

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ?

Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world.

Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

elling a reporter in October that his company is worth billions. Mr. Trump called him a “highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the international scene.” The president-elect even lavished what may be his highest praise: a “dealmaker.” In fact, records show that Mr. Boulos has spent the past two decades selling trucks and heavy machinery in Nigeria for a company his father-in-law controls. He is chief executive of the company, SCOA Nigeria PLC, which made a profit of less than $66,000 last year, corporate filings show. There is no indication in corporate documents that Mr. Boulos, a Lebanese-American whose son is married to Mr. Trump’s daughter Tiffany, is a man of significant wealth as a result of his businesses. The truck dealership is valued at about $865,000 at its current share price. Mr. Boulos’s stake, according to securities filings, is worth $1.53. As for Boulos Enterprises, the company that has been called his family business in The Financial Times and elsewhere, a company officer there said it is owned by an unrelated Boulos family.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

This is a no-brainer. Best possible choice to lead the DNC.

hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.

In Trump II there’s so far only one Black cabinet member: once again to head up Housing and Urban Development.

He understands “urban” doesn’t mean “Black,” right?

Trump says he is prepared to declare a national emergency and use military assets to carry out his mass deportation program
