Israeli officials say the Ayatollah Khameimi, Iran’s Supreme Leader, has been killed. If so, expect a wider conflict and the holy war that Christian extremists like Hegseth want.

Still true

Iran is an bad actor on the world stage—and it would be better if it were a democracy. The same can be said of Russia, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries no Trump fan wants us to invade and send our troops to die in.

Never apologize for opposing this war.

House Oversight Democrats have the votes to force Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify before their panel about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, according to Rep. Ro Khanna.

Now that the Republicans have set a precedent of interrogating a First Lady about Jeffrey Epstein, I look forward to the deposing of Melania, who knows plenty.

Let me be sure that I have this right. During the SOTU, the men’s Olympic hockey team was celebrated while standing in the gallery of the House Chamber. Also during the SOTU, Aliya Rahman was arrested for standing in the gallery of the House Chamber during the SOTU. Do I have that right? 🤯

Look, I don't know if this is true... I just want it to be

I’m obsessed with the tiny signs of hope hidden on the trail, like the first flowers of early spring. In a loud world, these small, persistent cycles are where I find my peace.

Trump just said if we could get rid of fraud, we would balance the budget.

Guess he’s taken more bribes than we thought.

Cool cool. And we want to take humans out of the kill chain. 🤦‍♂️

During SOTU, while Trump was being as racist as he could be while also being boring, PA had a special election and Democrats won both seats.

xAI built an illegal power plant to power its data center Just south of the Tennessee-Mississippi state line sits dozens of unpermitted gas turbines that power xAI’s Colossus 2 data center while releasing smog-forming pollution, soot, and hazardous chemicals...

In the State of the Union Adress Trump says that AI data centers will have to create their own power with their own generators, but this can't be done without destroying the environment and poisoning people living in the surrounding area. Musk is being sued for this.

Every Trump State of the Union is X-rated for violence, and that's because he *demands* it.

He's obsessed with describing extreme acts of violence, and again I'll tell you quite clearly—as a Trump biographer and presidential historian—that it's because he's sexually aroused by it.

I don’t need to hear a criminal’s 2 hour rant of bullshit lies to a broken dysfunctional fascist republican controlled Congress. He belongs in prison for treason, sedition, fraud, extortion, insurrection, rape and espionage, not giving speeches.

this must be the most descriptions of blood gushing in any state of the union address by a wide margin

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

@abigailspanberger.com is on fire 🔥

The president — who avoided military draft — just said he's "always wanted" to be awarded the congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration.

This whole event is just a desperate exhibition of Trump's power.

The endless GOP standing ovations. Exploiting grieving families as props. Bestowing presidential awards.

It's what insecure and ailing dictators do to maintain authority.

Trump is losing his judges. Several bailed on his SOTU - including Gorsuch.

threads is wire mother and bluesky is cloth mother no i won't be elaborating

The President and his DOJ are, right now, responsible for the largest coverup in modern American history.

Enough. Release the rest of the files, now. Justice is overdue.

Trump is a sickening sadist pleasurably reveling in tales of bloody violence and murder.

I'm going to tell you something as a Trump biographer. I mean it seriously. You need to understand that Trump get something close to sexual excitement from describing acts of violence.

If you wonder why his SOTU speeches always include graphic violence, that's why. It's for him.
