LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America


SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

Somebody posted this on a Discord server I frequent. Possibly the most Edwardian feline gentleman I have ever seen.

No one hates Trump because he's a Republican. We hate him because he's a shitty human. Some of us knew that long before he entered politics.

Investigating the Good Guys DOJ claims the Southern Poverty Law Center was "paying off" the Ku Klux Klan. The group's track record and common sense suggest otherwise.

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Iran’s consulate in Hyderabad just posted this video mocking Trump and his “ceasefire extension”

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

"This is an important thing to think about."

We should be learning from other countries...

A tweet quoting Senator Andy Kim criticizing being denied a briefing on the Iran war, with a video still of him speaking at a press conference alongside other officials.

It's so bad they won't even brief Congress.

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes.
Not at all 'good.'

Talking about Donald Trump having dementia just gives a sympathetic excuse for inexcusable preexisting conditions. Donald has *always* been a mean, self-centered, incoherent fool who says stupid and ignorant things.

The stray dog Amy happened to encounter followed her on her run... and the next day...

Epstein Island was most likely a honey pot black mail and information scam. At no point should it be treated as just a child trafficking and prostitution ring, there’s too much money and too many moving pieces.

It is not a conspiracy anymore.

Unlike the US media, international media are saying it like it is. The US is a global pariah:

New ads by this ridiculous organization pushing for the Save America Act.

Start making calls to stop the passage of this attempt to purge voter rolls & interfere with free & fair elections!

Fox News points out that Trump’s claim about all the Iranian leaders being dead is undermined by the fact his administration is negotiating with Iranian leaders right now

This is so well done. 👌

CBS: American soldiers who survived the attacked that killed 6 say Hegseth is lying. They were left “unprepared” and exposed.

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.”

There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

Just a reminder to Congress:

Any time you send soldiers to another country to start bombing shit and shooting at shit and killing the people of that country, THAT IS A WAR.

If your President is DOING WAR without Congressional Approval, THAT IS A CRIME AND HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

Accurate

…

The conclave really knew what it was doing when it elected an American Pope huh

Like, only a guy who has endured Chicago winters and the indignity of rooting for the White Sox could meet this moment

4 shipped made it through the Strait of Hormuz today.

Iran still controls their uranium and over half their ballistic missiles.

But hey, at least a bunch of Trump’s close friends made bank making anonymous bets on Polymarket!

Trump is upset that NATO didn’t let him invade and conquer Greenland.

The guy is completely demented—and we will not treat this like it is normal behavior.
