WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “I felt like I was watching a Helsinki redux when Trump said Putin told him he didn’t interfere with the election… Trump just had the audacity to say Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed.”

So weird how Trump keeps doing Putin’s bidding!🤷🏼

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

This is an American patriot.

“Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed" (By destroying it)

I hope Stephen Miller goes on tweeting, because it exposes not merely his rancid bigotry (which was known), but also his invincible ignorance. It turns out that the evil genius behind Trump’s mass deportations — is actually as dumb as a box of hair.

A photo of a summertime view over alpine meadows of bright wildflowers and small alpine forest trees, with the iconic cone shaped Cascade mountain volcano, Mount Hood nearby in the background. The wildflowers are in the foreground with purple lupines being the most abundant. Some splashes of red paint brush poking up, and a little white heather. Most of the scene almost 3/4 of the way up the image is slanted downhill from upper left to lower right. Above the wildflower meadow is a huge grey boulder that boarders a forest of small alpine evergreen trees, with some grey ones that have died behind them, then another darker green stand of forest under a more distant rocky high ridgeline. Beyond and above the ridgeline are the high flanks and peak of Mount Hood, with it's white glacier fields and rough rocky outcrops of subtle grey/browns, and dull reds between. The sky above is a brilliant blue, with only a few hazy clouds close to the lower right of the mountain.

I *need* a spot of color today!

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

These former Presidents fixed the economy after they were elected. The Republicans who proceeded them or followed them almost destroyed the economy.

This is fucking insane.

Government services aren't businesses. Delivering mail to citizens is something we pay for.

But if these are businesses, you won't believe how much money the military loses.

Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes - Bolts Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

Until Trump began conspiracies about mail voting, Republicans were fully on board with GRACE PERIODS for ballots to arrive as long as postmarked by Election Day. They passed it overwhelmingly in KS, OH, & elsewhere.

But now Trump hates it.

So 4 red states—KS, OH, ND, UT—all banned it this year.

Montana Has an Ambitious Plan to End Dark Money in Elections Polls suggest 74 percent of voters in the state will back a ballot initiative to counter the effects of Citizens United.

Montana is leading the way to get dark money out of our elections. This is a blue print for other states

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

Mmm…..

Truth stranger than fiction! But it seems seekers of truth are a danger to the rich and powerful !

Slaap zacht Europa!

This administration is the most corrupt, dishonest, unconstitutional & illegitimate in our nearly 250 years as an independent nation. The Declaration states: “When a system of government becomes tyrannical, the people have not just the right, but the duty to change their form of government.”

check out the expression on Zelenskyy's face as Trump claims the war wouldn't have happened if the 2020 election hadn't been "rigged and stolen"

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable.

We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

This article says it best, what a disappointment!
