JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran says no Iranian delegation arrived in Pakistan for negotiations with US, despite "baseless" media reports.

The House Ethics Committee is asking anyone with sexual misconduct allegations against a politician to come forward. You’re fckn kidding right? Jfc.

A good opportunity to ask which indigenous tribe they were members of.

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Religious extremists or fundamentalists in Christianity, Islam and Judaism are creating all kinds of death and destruction, often with the viewpoint that it's okay to have exceptions in morality and human rights if they consider it a righteous cause. Separation of church and state would change this.

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

A Federal government that settles with a sitting President for a monetary fund, should be an automatic impeachable offense!

The US media not only forgets the past disasters and calamaties but won't even bother to point out the current lies and hypocrisy the Right Wing rolls out on a daily basis. The double standard is mind-blowing. See ICE, JCPOA, Epstein, etc...

FYI.

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

Good news for New Yorkers, bad news for rats: all trash will be in rat-proof bins by the end of 2031.

No more black bags on the sidewalks — it’s time to put a lid on it.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

I love how The Pitt has subtly but effectively said what needs to be said about the health insurance crisis, anti-vax madness and "free birth" insanity. All while celebrating science. Bravo.

In these cases nationally, my law firm is now 5-0 and DOJ is 0-5. Not sure how Harmeet is going to explain this to her "boss." www.democracydocket.com/cases/rhode-...

MeidasTouch host Katie Phang testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the proposed merger of Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros.:

"Democracy cannot survive if powerful people get to decide which facts are allowed to exist and what version of the truth they want to peddle for profit."

OK, just had to jump in. My first concert. 16 years old. $8.00 tickets at Austin's Memorial Stadium September 1, 1974. Bad Company's first concert in the US. Their producer, Jimmy Page, joined them for the encore. Drunk Joe Cocker next, Santana as the sun went down & headliners ZZ Top closed it out.

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress.

We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

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.
