Joe isn’t squirming, he’s getting cancer treatment. It takes otherworldly effort to be as depraved as this grocery sack of diarrhea.

But the administration has never provided evidence to back up its claims about who or what is on board, sparking growing concerns, both internationally and within Republican ranks.

Clearly Trump lied when he said his $250 million ballroom wouldn’t β€œinterfere” with the White House.

So who’s watching this mess; the White House Historical Association or the Office of the Curator? Because someone needs to make sure he’s not bulldozing history for a dance floor.

Mike Johnson’s Bible apparently has Jesus encouraging lying as often as possible as the pathway to heaven. Must be a Trump Bible.

Ben Meiselas on Thursday: Trump is meeting with Zelenskyy tomorrow. It's not great timing because it's right after the Putin talk, he's still going to be feasting off the Putin talking points. If I was betting, knowing Trump's psychology and pathology, he's going to try to intimidate Zelensky.

Many were asking that since Judge Perry granted the TRO "in part," which part was she not granting. The answer: "The Court declines at this time to enter a Preliminary Injunction, and also to extend the scope of the TRO to include the military..."

This is the TRO blocking deployment of the NG to IL

Last night, russia murdered a 7yo boy in Zaporizhzhia and brought a lot of damage to the Ukrainian energy system attempting to freeze us into capitulation in winter.

This won't stop until russia tastes its own pill. Every effort to manage escalation has only led to impunity and more escalation.

THE FASCISTS ARE ALWAYS THE ONES OPPRESSING THE INNOCENT - that's what makes fascist pigs like Putin/Trump/Netanyahu easily identifiable as Fascist. "Watch what fascists do, NOT what they say". If citizens listen to manipulative, anti-truth, anti-democratic fascist lying pigs, then fascism prevails.

The Paperwork Will Kill You How America Abandons Its Most Vulnerable

Across the country, women’s domestic violence centers are closing their doors,not because the need has gone away, but because the funding has.
When a center closes,It’s a crisis hotline that stops ringing. A child who loses a trauma counselor. A woman who now has nowhere to turn.
