Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

Did President Putin say anything about *your* involvement with children, dear?

It is sick

Watch the reel until the end. JD Vance is calling the racist, misogynistic, & xenophobic young Republicans “Kids who do stupid things” but @harryjsisson.bsky.social exposes the truth about who they are. They are not “kids” and they are a product of hateful MAGA indoctrination.

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

The bailout of a friend of Trump’s just cost as much as the annual budget of USAID.

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

A cut-off well-deserved and infinitely satisfying. More of this.

ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog.

It was our fuck up but not our fault? Vance is such a slippery character

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

TEXAS senate candidate Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social (grandson of a Baptist preacher): “I put my hand on a Bible and swore an oath to the constitution, not the other way around.”

Trump was POTUS on J6.

It was Trump’s FBI.

Biden’s win had not even been certified yet.

Trump’s lies are beyond insane.

What if all of these were just DMs?

John Oliver rips presidential library loophole Plus: There shouldn’t be secret law. Pam Bondi didn’t get the memo

John Oliver sounded the alarm this week on how secret donations to presidential libraries provide cover for bribery. We couldn’t agree more.

It’s time to close the library loophole — and you can help.

Read this story and much more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds.

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back
