Very impressive work by Reuters, documenting how Netanyahu is trying to scapegoat the IDF JAG corps to protect himself from war crimes charges and more and to undermine Israel's independent judiciary. "US intel found that Israeli military lawyers warned there was evidence of Gaza war crimes."

The fourth time the pope's remarks have been calculated to directly challenge the beliefs of Christian nationalists in the US. As he says, they are atheistic nihilists, not Christians.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one?

Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People.

There you go.

BINGO!

While Elon and his incels and simps celebrate his trillion dollar bonus, Elon's assault on USAID has already killed an estimated 600,000 people—two thirds of them children. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

It’s kinda simple, really.

Despite vow to protect health care for veterans, VA losing doctors and nurses Impact of understaffing, facility closures and waiting times has been “dire” under Trump’s second term, medical workers say. By� Marcus Baram �for Capital & ...

It’s a special kind of grotesque to watch the party that wraps itself in the flag systematically dismantle healthcare for the very veterans they claim to honor, all while pretending it’s an efficiency reform. What a cruel and predictable irony.

The Red Pen of Truth delights in helping self-avowed Christian Nationalists (aren’t they supposed to ya know…not lie? 🤷‍♂️) like House Speaker Mike Johnson to stop lying to us!

OK Democrats want our OKD5 back the way it was before the GOP stole it from Kendra Horn.

Stephanie Bice is a tag along whose only concern for this week was the time change. Her email had nothing about the shutdown or the tariffs or how OKIES will starve or get sick b/c they lost SNAP & healthcare.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

#AccountabilityIsComing

Shoutout to the investigative reporters who’ve been exposing Ryan Walters’ incompetence + unethical mess for YEARS only to be ignored by GOP leadership. Dems @ the Cap also raised 🚩& were brushed off. Most elected Republicans backed him or ignored the 💩. Remember in Nov ‘26!

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Happy Anniversary! On this day, November 5th, one year ago, we had one of the Greatest Presidential Victories in History — Such an Honor to represent our Country. Our Economy is BOOMING, and Costs are coming way down. Affordability is our goal. Love to the American People!

LMAO he's trying to be Mamdani!

🎀🎀

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict

But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat

And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

Trump just watches something on Fox then rage posts a new edict in response on Truth Social five minutes later without talking to anyone, then his babysitters try to explain to him that the Fox segment was wrong or his solution is insane, then he goes back to his ballroom work.

'Bad for business': CEO suing Trump in Supreme Court rails against 'unlawful' policy The Supreme Court is preparing to hear a CEO's lawsuit against President Donald Trump over his claiming of emergency powers to unilaterally impose tariffs, and the executive is confident that his company will prevail.Learning Resources CEO Rick Woldenberg is asserting that Trump's use of the Interna...

It is morbidly satisfying to watch a CEO sue this administration over its reckless tariffs, exposing the beautiful irony of Trump's "pro-business" facade crumbling under the weight of his own lawless economic illiteracy.

Under Trump, the Law Is Just a Speed Bump The president’s spurning of the War Powers Act is just his latest claim that he can wield deadly force outside the law.

The Trump administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere, with bombs or missiles or drones, for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided. Not great.

Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

🤨

We could fund over four months of SNAP benefits with the $40 billion Argentina received.

Republicans are starving Americans,
To force Democrats,
To vote for Trump's massive cuts to American Healthcare,
To fund ANOTHER tax cut for billionaires,
Even though Republicans don't need a single Democrat vote.

And Republicans are protecting pedophiles who raped children with Epstein.

The Trump administration found $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

But Republicans are unwilling to spend a dime to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

The extremists will always put their billionaire donors first.

And America last.

The powers that be in US media decided a while ago democracy and rule of law are boring. A reality TV / prestige antihero show about a personalist dictatorship is more exciting.

So instead of “President Interferes, Violating Constitutional Principle,” it’s “Will Voters Stupidly Make Him Hit Them?”
