I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

The Art of Letting Trump Claim a Win, While Walking Away Stronger

"By flexing China’s near monopoly on rare earths and its purchasing power over U.S. soybeans, Mr. Xi won key concessions from Washington"

Trump is a terrible businessman and terrible negotiator. More people need to know this!

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

We are going to take care of our neighbors here in Missouri. I’m running for Congress because we aren’t being represented. So, this Saturday @WellmanForMO is hosting an Emergency Food Drive Thru at UFCW 655 Local in Ballwin for Circle of Concern Food Pantry. #TeamWellman #StLouis #Missouri #MO2

When Christian Calgie uses "mental health" as a two-word deflection to get himself out of a hole and then sweeps back in days later to resume being a cunt, you can see why the Right just thinks all mental health disability claims are fake until proven otherwise.

The accusation is the admission.

In the all-conquering media/politics ecosystem that brought you Brexit, Boris Johnson, austerity, Liz Truss & the recent revival of weapons grade racism, she really is the Newcomer of the Year. Hands down. And the Spectator is now owned by a man who basked in the ugliest depths of far right Twitter.

People should not act surprised, especially the right wing and anyone who voted for Trump.

We warned them. They did not listen. And now they choose to forget.

Don't let them.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

This is exactly the same argument β€” and, in parts, even the same language β€” that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a β€œright” not to live next to people who were different from them.

Shock Video Shows ICE Agent Assaulting Woman Who Asked If He’s A Good Christian Hundreds protested Tuesday at an ICE facility in southwest Colorado after agents detained two children on their way to school.

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

Keeping the House Absent, Johnson Marginalizes Congress and Himself

House GOP is very happy to get paid to do nothing but praise their dear leader & push propaganda.

β€œIt has all created a strange dynamic on Capitol Hill: Mr. Johnson appears to be using the considerable power of the speakership to render the House irrelevant.”

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months.

700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.

Even if you are an out and out racist Wilders policies made no sense economically. And as for the FvD.. . So I can only conclude racism and low intelligence go together. Is there lead in the water in Brabant and Limburg?

The transformation of The Times under Gallagher from a true newspaper of record to a partisan pamphlet and, finally, a global joke is genuinely heartbreaking.

That's fair enough. I'm the same with basketball. But you can be sure the forwards are on average much bigger than the backs with the exception of the occasional giant winger or centre, just as in union.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Rugby League has positions. If you can't see that what the hooker does is different to the scrum-half or stand-off or centre or edge forward...then you don't understand the game

Elon Musk continues to try to socialise civil war, political & inter-ethnic violence in Britain. He combines an argument that violence is inevitable with his call at the Tommy Robinson rally for pre-emptive violence, on grounds of an existential threat & the inevitability of violence

Trump & his entourage know that they'll spend the rest of their lives in jail if they ever relinquish power. So they won't. It's only difficult to understand if you don't want to understand it - for instance because understanding it makes you feel as helpless as I am feeling about all this.

Donald Trump has amassed the powers of a king. He clearly intends to hold on to themβ€”even if it means subverting the 2026 midterms, as David A. Graham reports, or seeking a third term, as J. Michael Luttig argues. Read both stories in our December issue: https://theatln.tc/XGDB9RNc

Hegseth Is Waging War Against the Laws of War If you’re still not sure whether the United States is at risk of sliding into authoritarianism, talk to some Americans who know all about the proper and improper uses of violence. They are the men and women who are or were in the military’s so-called Judge Advocate General’s Corps.
