Eight Senate Democrats flipped the Trump White House and the GOP from panicky infighting to confident gloating.

Congrats.

Elon Musk tweet “Grok Imagine prompt: She smiles and says ‘I will always love you’” with an AI illustration of a woman smiling

Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

Tulsi Gabbard was too quiet.

Trump’s other historically awful dept leaders have been heard from—RFK Jr. cutting vaccines and spreading disease, Hegseth doing political purges and illegal strikes, etc.—but not the Putin-Assad sympathizer DNI.

Now we know: she’s busy curbing US counterintelligence.

Happy “not sure if the President or the Supreme Court has proven themselves to be more wretched”
Day

POTUS will celebrate by peeling the backings from a dozen more fake gold decoupage and sticking them to the *outside* of the WH

SCOTUS will have a normal venal weekend

You+me: Help someone today

I'm not counting on there being a next administration. I think this may be it. I really do in fact think it's greater than 50% that American free and fair elections are over.

Can you share one or two examples of what you're talking about?

But will you say the same when, God forbid, Farage wins a resounding majority as PM in Britain? Be honest.

Lights are on but nobody is home.
We have a broken Roomba for President.

And its owner's wife in no way resembles a fish.

If the Epstein thing didn't reach critical mass, why would this

Why no American flags

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

I hope this photo will be seen by many. Sánchez's adolescent grin really reduces his stature.

Can't believe you wrote "exchange prisoners".

We are used to seeing people who are in prison for multiple murders being called "political prisoners" by certain parts of the press and by certain radical movements. It is a physical kick in the gut to see this from someone I've long respected as an honest and clear-sighted political commentator.

How can it be an UNAMBIGUOUS good for terrorists to be freed? I could see an argument for it being a NET good, if it helps stop a war, but unambiguous?

POLITICAL PRISONERS?

Nicholas. I didn't expect this from you. These are murderers. MURDERERS.

Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Don't you think it's important to discuss what looks to many like a realistic scenario and not to be complacent about what's at risk?

What?

That's not a way out of it either, because electoral democracy will be over soon, if it's not already.

The NYT but you wouldn't know it.

To anyone reading this thread, I recommend David Hirsh's contribution here: www.lfi.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Except it was never about anything that was happening to any non-Jews, and always about the Jews. That's why they screamed about Zionism.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.
