Will Ukraine ever forgive the US for betrayal?

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJ’s demands for private voter data “Election officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and voters’ security, regardless of partisanship,” voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Um, Fort Campbell middle school would like a word. We have many schools on bases, and Bolton knows it. More ghoulish nonsense from war Hawks to justify the murder of little girls.

What Lionel Messi's arrival in Baltimore really sounded like 🔉🆙

Crank the volume up for the full experience. DC United moved their game vs. Messi's Inter Miami to Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Ravens, so more people could attend 😯

This is Albie. He was so touched by his family singing happy birthday in his native language that he didn't notice the cupcakes with his face on them. 13/10 hbd Albie #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: _sallyv)

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Had to doublecheck the date on this

Withheld Jeffrey Epstein files with accusations against Trump released by justice department The Department of Justice said the released files had been "incorrectly coded as duplicative" and inadvertently not published.

Donald J Trump is back in the Epstein file records. Pam Bondi tried her best to delete and remove it permanently, even 1000 Iran war would not help in getting away from criminal records. 👇

When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.🗽

Opinion: The immorality of betting on war Traders on prediction markets bet on nearly anything. One made more than half a million dollars betting on the U.S. strike against Iran. But should people wager on human suffering?

The theme is #Flowing
This was from a sip & paint thing. They are always fun!

Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.

The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.

Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

I've had some major bouts with depression in my life...becoming most acute in my mid teens. I've been fortunate enough to receive some excellent help when I needed it...from caring therapists and psychiatrists who found the best medication for me.

Get help if you need it. There is hope for us all.

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.

“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Today in Trump foreign policy:

Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops?

Trump: That’s a stupid question. I’m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf.

Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

Well, imagine that …
