EU PLANS PLAYBOOK

European Union leaders in Cyprus need to start preparing a playbook on what should happen if an EU country under attack puts out a call for help from partners. Protocol says if a nation is attacked, its partners should provide “aid and assistance”

Amazing.

Yes. I was on it for years for Lupus and worried about those still needing it being able to get it due to Trump’s erroneous comments.

What about Iran vessel seized first by Trump Admin. No peace desires by Trump. Just trying to find reason to go to war.

The icing on the cake in Trump/Abbott’s gerrymandering scheme will be when a couple of Republicans lose their elections in Texas in the midterms specifically because their districts were weakened by the dummymander.

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

This fking asshole can take his apology & shove it. He has the balls to say even though he knew he was lying to ppl it wasn't intentional. Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing & he knew it was wrong but he was making so much money he didn't care. He's a douchebag of the worst kind.

The quiet way grocery brands are charging you more for less A family of four now spends $741 more a year than in 2020 for the exact same groceries.

Inflation AND shrinkflation. Waiting for prices to "back down" to pre-pandemic levels?

the average family of four is now spending $741 more a year than in 2020 for the exact same groceries, and $41 of that increase is attributable to package-size decreases.

So Texas’ gerrymander ordered by Trump, which started multiple state gerrymanders, wasn’t evil. Only when Dems fight back. then he calls it evil. At this point, Dems have to fight back to try to save our democracy.

And these people think they're the master race.

Smmhh.

Morning friends. There are still those amongst us that need to wake up.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

He just doesn’t even bother to hide his racism & misogyny.

Of course, Truman used A-bombs & ended the war.

Not the same. Those Presidents didn’t start the war. They were defending Allie’s.

It is objectively bad for democracy that both blue and red states are doing extreme gerrymanders.

But the only feasible solution — a national ban on partisan gerrymandering — has only been endorsed by one party. And it's not the one complaining about Virginia right now.

Too late for millions of our fellow Brothers, Sisters, Babies, the Fallen the suffering & those no longer on earth to hear you, Tucker. You sure owned the libs, tho.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common?

California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

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...

Kevin Warsh should not be approved to be fed chair. If you can’t say that the 2020 election was fair then you’re (1) in trump’s pocket and (2) your belief in democracy is dubious. And believing in democracy should be a mandatory requirement.

Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative.

False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants.

Reality:

“We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."
