In normal times, DOJ wins most of its cases because it has the resources to ensure that presidential actions are lawful. But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump.

“All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.”

RT to ruin Trump’s day!

Bingo

I am so livid at CNN for allowing Scott Jennings spew his MAGA-loving Conservative bullshit on a daily basis.

I will never forgive them for setting our country back.

Now they’re even on Bluesky. Please block them.

Peter Hegseth didn't wake up today thinking that it would be women who'd hand him his ass in front of millions of Americans watching.

Tammy Duckworth is a role model for women everywhere.🔥

Ouch! And true

Sadly, it is not perplexing.

She is an election denier, period.

We are evacuating because of a new fire -- so many new fires keep breaking out and more than 180,000 people have been evacuated!

I need to underscore that Governor Newsom and President Biden are right here with us giving us everything we need to fight these brutal fires.

The GOP in NC is a bunch of bad faith partisans, and that’s nowhere more evident than in the state Supreme Court, which has now halted the election certification of Justice Allison Riggs over a dangerous and frankly absurd claim. My write up: https://buff.ly/4gJOTqh

Wow. This is a must-watch. 🔥

Trump Is Already Walking Back His Campaign Promises From lowering prices to disavowing Project 2025 to vaccine policy, Trump’s promises are looking hollow

According to PolitiFact, Trump kept only 23% of his campaign promises during his first term. Now, with weeks to go before starting his second, he’s already walking back some of his biggest 2024 pledges. Team Big Picture breaks down these reversals in their latest piece.

Tweet from Kyle Griffin reads: "Breaking: LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former FBI informant pleads guilty to fabricating claim that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter accepted bribes."

This didn’t get enough media attention when it happened so I’m posting it again. The Biden’s were not only innocent, they were framed. And the GOP knew it and amplified the lie anyway.

Donald Trump Tamed the Media. Some Even Paid for the Privilege. From Marc | What makes independent media different is that it understands that it is beholden primarily to its subscribers and paid members.

Trump is a master at leveraging the legacy media’s need for news with his ability to provide access to it. He did this for years as a fixture on the New York scene and he continues it today. A weakened legacy media, with greater pressures on it, is simply no match for an emboldened Trump.

While many of Trump’s picks represent a grave threat to democracy and the lives and freedoms of millions of Americans, a handful of his most important nominees could play a direct role in the future of voting rights and access to the ballot over the next four years.

Wow. When the 911 call came in about the shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, officers were training for literally this type of scenario 3 miles away. "So what began as a training day became an actual thing," the Madison police chief said.

Let that sink in.

The margin between Democrats and Republicans in the House is so narrow that in 2026, even one district being redrawn could significantly impact the election. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/red...

BREAKING: NO IMMUNITY!!!

Donald Trump does NOT have immunity from prosecution in the hush money case in which a Manhattan jury found him guilty earlier this year, Judge Juan Merchan just ruled.

Donald Trump remains a felon.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Hoag’s Object is a rare ring galaxy located over 600 million light-years from Earth.

A nearly perfect circle full of young blue stars surrounds a spheroid of mostly older red giant stars. In between is a gap that appears almost completely empty.

Delightfully distinctive.

I do astronomy for a living, and images like this *still* take my breath away. What a beautiful universe we live in. Even in the midst of trouble, grief, & anything you might be struggling with (like we all are) - try to seek out the beauty. It helps ❤️
