It’s time we stop giving respect to the position of president & calling the guy in the WH what he really is.
A convicted felon of fraud.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

"Vance, who never left the base, and has never before visited Greenland, was quite sure how Greenlanders should live. He made a political appeal to Greenlanders, none of whom was present, or anywhere near him."

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

Russia has officially stolen our homes and the homes of many others by exterminating the occupants and now forcibly deporting the rest.
Russia is ethnically cleansing on an epic scale.

"Walz says now he should have been doing events all through last fall. He says he offered, but was told no, and in his bewildered daze, he decided to be a team player."

Need to seriously start asking if these dem consultants are actively on the take, no other way to explain such uselessness

We need not seek to make his burden more,
Nor add new weight to that which he must bear.
His deeds have writ themselves upon the door,
Of every witness present, standing there.
Your officers he beat, a grievous slight,
And cursed yourselves, with venom in his tongue.
He stood against the law with all his might,
And struck at order, where it should be strong.
He stands now here, defying to your face
The power that must judge his every deed.
No further proof is needed in this place,
His open scorn doth plant the damning seed.
His guilt is plain for all the world to see,
No added word is needed, let him be.

Revealed: Ukraine’s red lines for any peace deal with Putin As Trump tries to put pressure on the Russian president who is stalling on talk of a ceasefire, The Independent has been told about the areas where Kyiv does not want to negotiate

Ceding Ukrainian territory to Russia would be a red line, β€” The Independent

These #holidays you may get a headache from drinking red wine. Turns out we now know why! (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) Solution? Drink cheap wine. The cheaper the better. Also apparently healthier too

Opinion | Trump is fast dismantling the free press. We all have to stop him. It’s part of a broader crackdown on the civil liberties of those who disagree with the president.

Good to see my colleagues in the Washington Post's opinion section continuing to carry out owner Jeff Bezos' mandate to focus on supporting and defending our liberties πŸ—½ www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Trump's Lifeline to Putin: Cutting Ukraine's Aid Amid Russia's Collapse Marco Rubio, Michael Waltz, and their ilk will spend the rest of their lives avoiding Ukrainians for fear of being spit on

Russia’s β€˜3-day war’ is now 3 YEARS oldβ€”and they’re getting wrecked. 800,000 casualties, no tanks, no fleet… and now Trump is cutting Ukraine’s aid to throw Putin a lifeline. Sad! Read how Ukraine is WINNING despite the betrayals

DOGE Is the Deep State A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!

Okay somehow it's Friday and somehow we made it (congrats!) 🀯

To make the doomscroll easier, here's a thread of all the wild stuff we learned this week, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social's analysis on why DOGE *is* the deep state (and Elon Musk's extended universe.)

Snapshot: A Night of Nastiness and Lies In this time of crisis, I longed for more disruptions of Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress

β€œAnd lastly, it was nauseating to witness the numerous times that JD Vance and Mike Johnson were laughingβ€”laughing about invading Greenland, laughing about Trump’s slurs, laughing about all the β€œappalling waste” in foreign aid that they’re ending.”
