Republicans in congress could stop this war in a moment. But their sycophancy to Trump is greater than their desire to prevent the killing of innocent women and children. All this in the context of their knowing that Trump committed sexual crimes against children.

Dwell on this.

Why are we going to war? Because too much news about Trump raping kids.

The fact that he even has Peters on his TL should be enough cause for concern

We cannot focus, as a society & polity, on the people responsible who actually matter, & it is more maddening each & every day.

Jared Kushner is at diplomatic meetings.

He's not elected. Not confirmed. Not accountable.

WHO voted for him? The Senate didn't confirm him.

So why is he in these meetings?

FOREIGN POLICY IS NOT A FAMILY BUSINESS.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Side note, it is unacceptable that Yale just hired Brooks.

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

One of the first points at which it all should have ended was in 2017, when this unelected & unconfirmed person started monetizing his father-in-law's presidency in plain sight while also working in the White House & representing the US in international negotiations.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. β€” This should shake everyone to their core.

Rep. Raskin: β€œYou ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped, abused, and trafficked. This performance screams cover-up.”

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
