Why aren't the @nytimes.com and @cnn.com running lots of coverage about how Trump can't even stay awake at international functions? Can you imagine if these photos were of Biden?

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Here Are the Nearly 2,500 Medical Research Grants Canceled or Delayed by Trump Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

Cutting NIH or NSF funding sounds abstract. Seeing what research is actually being cut makes it real. Kudos to @nytimes.com for this piece:

Trump pardoned man 1 month after mother attended $1M per person fundraiser: Report (The Hill) President Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a man who had pleaded guilty to tax crimes, one month after his mother attended a major fundraiser for the president...

So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars?

Do I have that right, humans?

Straight up mobster shit.

A SOCIETY IN WHICH JUDGES ARE ROUTINELY MADE TO FEAR FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY OR THEIR OWN LIVELIHOOD DUE TO THEIR DECISIONS IS ONE THAT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY DEPARTED FROM THE NORMS OF BEHAVIOR THAT GOVERN A DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. ATTACKS ON JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE IS HOW COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT FREE, NOT FAIR, AND NOT RULE OF LAW ORIENTED, OPERATE. KETANJI BROWN JACKSON

The US is a constitutional republic built on democratic institutions. Elections, representation and the rule of law are systems that exist to serve the many.

Attacks on our democratic systems are for the purpose of taking power from the citizens.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

The Bondi girl who was a lobbyist for Qatar approved it.

She was paid 100k a month from Qatar to lobby for them.

Dripping with deceit and corruption

The. More. You. Know. 💫

Bribery in plain sight.

This is great news @chrismurphyct.bsky.social 👏👍. The corruption in this admin is rampant. They think its their right to accumulate wealth during their tenure. UNACCEPTABLE. Use *any* and *all* means necessary to stop this.

Donald Jr. and Eric Trump Pursue New Deals That Would Enrich President Trump The president’s older sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, spent the past two weeks traveling the world and announcing deals, many of which will financially benefit their father.

But Hunter Biden!

Far-Right AfD Is Labeled Extremist by Germany’s Intelligence Agency The designation is certain to inflame debates over whether the party should be banned, though some polls show it to be the most popular in the country.

Breaking News: Germany classified the right-wing Alternative for Germany party as an extremist group, giving intelligence officials more tools to monitor it.

A post by Marco Rubio attacking Germany for tackling the alt right extremism of the AfD. The German foreign office responds. Rubio’s posts says: Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition. That's not democracy—it's tyranny in disguise. What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD-which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment's deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes. Germany should reverse course. The German foreign office responds with: This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

The Fuhrer wants a Nuremberg style parade on his birthday.

Why did Tommy Tuberville vote in Florida if he lived in Alabama? Election records show Tuberville voted in Florida after he says a homestead exemption puts his residency in Alabama.

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.
