Remember kids, you cannot claim that providing indirect help to a sovereign state resisting an illegal invasion amounts to the helper invading the aggressor. Words mean things.

Unseated.

Hate autocorrect and it is adamant.

It has been a notable lack that there is no ability for a recall petition for the presidency.

Other elected officials can be unsealed by vote of the elected.

The presidency is constrained by impeachment which has been a disappointment.

There are a number of them that fit in this camp. Agree.

No president. We have administration by unclearly identified cabinet members who are doing their own personal visions.
Leo is in trump's ire.
Vance & his techbro alliances have an agenda.

There really do need to be investigations into who is leading this administration & where. & for whom.

My question was who is behind the push. Other reporters stating trump is limited decision making "get a deal" have "his ppl" do one. For other issues.
Rubio's star seems to waver & seems to play 2nd fiddle
Miller is toxic domestic affairs, Hisp hatred. But rubio?
In reality, I fear we have no pres

I'd like to know why, if they are so unhappy en masse, they don't look at the speakers rules & dethrone Mike Johnson & get a new speaker & do the work they say they want to do.

What prevents that?

I already have a counterproposal:

Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.

Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.

All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.

And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

One of the biggest hypocrisies related to the Russo-Ukrainian war is when western leaders keep repeating that borders should never be allowed to be changed by force while almost in the same sentence pushing Ukraine to accept new borders. Very few states are free from guilt here.

The kleptocrats aren't working for the idealogues (other than potentially kuschner), & the unqualified keep messing up.

Should the idealogues be able to correct the mission, we would be in much greater trouble.

It feels as if there are three groups.
The unqualified: Hegseth, Patel, Bongino, Bondi
The truly malign, idealogues: Miller, Vought, the project 2025
& the simple kleptocrats: Lutnick, +/Bessent
& a cast of supporting characters including musk, kushner spanning segments
It's not organized yet ? if

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

An extraordinary, beautiful, and heartbreaking piece by writer & environmentalist Tatiana Schlossberg (Caroline Kennedy’s daughter).

My prayers go out to her and her family.

aka what history is Ted attempting to rewrite? So many skeletons. So many other versions of the truth.

Cruz makes no attempt at being a steady governing figure. He's a weathervane showing the political wind direction.

Thank you Zohran Mamdani for having a photo without the mirror thumbs up!!

Independence at last!

Did they take lessons from rapidresponse47? Or DOWresponse ? Or the presssec? Or any of this tweeting cabinet?

Because if they did, news to them...

The corruption, the grift, the ethics violations of this administration is relentless.

For profiteers like Lutnick, he cannot hide the glee this opportunity provides.

As Musk writes, jobs will be superfluous & everyone will be fabulously wealthy. Without any policy thoughts as to what an entire world of unemployed (doubtful vision BTW) would do or how they would be wealthy.

Certainly the PE class of today would be even wealthier, employing an army to keep it.

Thank you for reporting on these unprecedented stories.

Taking a step back from the mad rush to AI that this administration has determined it is set upon, I remain unconvinced that it is the direction most people value.

Lutnick, the techbros, the billionaire class do. Claiming it will replace jobs

Obscene.

Photos of the Bamayan Bhuddas destroyed by the Taliban

Always a horrifying wound the destruction of millenia.

Bamiyan Bhuddhas.

Old growth forests.

Our hubris is indelibly devastating

Laura Ingraham has not rejected her FOX employment. But her face long since left the realm of approval. It's just completely taken a hike.

Too bad she doesn't have the integrity to take her disbelief and walk as well.

It's astonishing how easily and blithely she steps over the "they just see carnage"

Thank goodness we still have humanity that sees carnage accurately. No matter what the source.

If we did not, humanity would be truly lost.

Lest we buy that on it's surface.

Tremendous victory for RFK Jr.

Trump and RFK Jr. are mulling their most disruptive vaccine policies yet — alarming manufacturers Trump and Kennedy are considering removing aluminum from vaccines and breaking up shots that protect against multiple diseases.

Yes, this is indeed a problem, but no manufacturer should even be entertaining setting up expensive studies to see what can replace alum in vaccines when there is literally no scientific evidence to justify the change. It is insane to even contemplate this.

Certainly appears he successfully figured out the life they all desired. Enormous wealth, moved easily with powerful people, no prior connection or talent, limitless vulnerable girls. They desired what he had. Never ending story.
Hold them to account. Despite knowing trump will pardon them all.

Isn't going to cut it.

It's going to require legislators to put on very big boy pants, find courage, & change direction.

Heard from young people at dinner. They are very unhappy

& @democrats.org are currently not doing the needed work of changing leadership & leading

Sitting on the "blue wave" because "we're not them"

We made the über rich. Our legislators designed the tax policy that made them. It was a choice.
It, in hindsight, would have been less painful for a different decision. But here we are.
@democrats-judiciary.house.gov @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social are going to have to address
