#Trump urged #Iran “to start peace negotiations by releasing non-existent, AI-generated women some rando posted about on X.”

On Monday, #Trump told a reporter that #Vance was in the air about to touch down in Pakistan just minutes before Vance’s motorcade arrived at the White House.

On Sunday, even as two senior U.S. government officials were on television saying Vice President #JDVance would lead a new round of talks in Pakistan, #Trump was on the phone telling reporters that he wouldn’t.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.

The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.

The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.

It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Back in the fantasy world where #PeteHegseth mistakes bravado for military readiness, the reality for deployed troops looks more like institutional incompetence. Food and morale aboard deployed ships reportedly look grim.

The world’s most important oil chokepoint is once again a live wire because #Trump keeps trying to treat geopolitics like a real-estate closing where you can just wave around imaginary paperwork and bully everyone into nodding along.

Trump: Gas prices are "not very high"

Me: WTAF do you call it when it costs $100 to fill up your tank? 💰⛽️

U.S. sailors deployed in the Iran war, including those aboard the USS Tripoli and USS Abraham Lincoln, are facing severe shortages of food and basic supplies.

If it really involves a human architect it’s the closest thing I’ve seen to someone purposefully trying to simulate A.I. slop. It’s an insult to veterans, blocking views of Arlington National Cemetery.

brilliant -- Morning Joe put together clips of Pete Hegseth reciting a fake Bible quote from Pulp Fiction, along with the Samuel L. Jackson scene from the movie

"Christ-splaining to the [checks notes] pope"

Size is not the same thing as scale. Classical architecture isn’t a bunch of acanthus leaves & columns on a building. It’s about proportion & judgment. The expression of those principles is what conveys dignity & strength, not size & glitter.

#Trump’s promise to lower prices, his crusade against immigrants, attacks on education & the courts & vow to resurrect a patriarchy in which white Christian men would dominate women & people of color, was closely patterned on the illiberal democracy of #Orbán in #Hungary.

Trump has reached a tipping point — and he's now hurtling to his end The past terrifying week has caused me to wonder: How did America ever get to a point where one man, backed by the military might of the United States, could credibly threaten death to an entire civilization?I’m also wondering how 19 super-rich American households could have added $1.8 trillion to t...

Trump schedule today is “executive time” followed by several closed door meetings including a dinner with the king and queen of the Netherlands

If Trump thought wishing he could have sex with his daughter Ivanka was appropriate behavior, I have no doubt of what he was capable of doing at Jeffrey Epstein's "parties."

There's nothing more deep state than Republicans covering for a peodphile.

Truth Social post by Donald Trump portraying himself as Jesus Christ placing his hand on a patient in a hospital surrounds by white people and an American flag and military images

A truth social post by Donald Trump saying the Pope is weak on crime, and that he prefers Louis as Louis is all MAGA. He says he doesn’t want a Pope who thinks it is terrible that the US attacked Venezuela

The second part of Donald Trumps Truth Social post attacking Pope Leo but going back to his own insecurities about the elections repeating his debunked claims about winning in 2024 in a landslide. Yet another delusional post about his self grandiose illusions

When I heard about the anti-Christ, I didn’t think it would be the President of the US. I mean, portraying himself as Jesus Christ? Notice not one person of color around him. These are all from his Truth Social page yesterday. Remind folks they can leave MAGA or the GOP (who is complicit) today!

How to Impeach the Bastard, for Real Now's the time to start organizing

The Axis of Autocracy, a very real anti-democracy alliance, includes #Putin, #Orbán, right-wing parties like Germany’s neo-Nazi #AfD, and #Trump. Now the Axis has lost a wheel.

-Paul Krugman

Truth. None of Trump’s priorities and actions actually help Americans. Seriously, can you name a single thing he has done to improve the lives of average Americans?

#JDVance is on a historic roll:

-He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

-Invited the #Pope to come to US for #Trump's big event - Pope refuses.

-Leads peace negotiations with #Iran - fails miserably.

-Campaigns in #Hungary for #Orbán - who gets smoked.
