Major loss for Trump In a major loss for Trump, Senate Majority Leader John Thune declared the โ€˜talking filibusterโ€™ for the SAVE Act is dead. Almost immediately afterwards, the Washington Post published an article sounding the alarm that the Trump administration has drafted an executive order to declare a national emergency to take control of the 2026 elections.

Rachel Maddow came to work on a SATURDAY honey and she did NOT come to play. ๐Ÿ‘€ She came with the receipts, the context, and the NERVE.

While the world is on fire sheโ€™s connecting every dot. This is exactly why we need journalists like her right now.

I can remember a time when people went into politics hoping to make a difference for the population. Nowadays politics has become a lucrative career. Most of them these days are self serving wankers. There. Iโ€™ve said it

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling.

No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

arthritis has taken so much from me ๐Ÿ˜” I feel like so many of my friendships have deteriorated and Iโ€™m so tired of feeling like even basic social things feel like too much for my body. Tired of waking up in pain every day. just needed to vent. ๐Ÿ˜ช this shit is so isolating.

I felt lucky to get such good views of this great white egret at Chard Reservoir this afternoon. It flew towards me and then spent some time fishing close by. Lucky for me - not so much for the fish. #Birds #WildlifePhotography #UKWildlife #SomersetBirds #Egret

A magical moment on the trail yesterday: an unexpectedly close encounter with a great blue heron creekside. Usually we just see them as they fly away like at the end of this video but this one gave a few moment to take in its beauty first.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

In 2020, things looked bleak for the world. To distract myself, I wrote a cozy mystery with the intention that the story would be so fun- my readers would forget their worries for awhile. ๐ŸŒธ

Donald Trump, alleged child rapist California Representative Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said on Wednesday that the Department of Justice withheld and removed records connected to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor.

Don't you dare fall for it Donald Trump is failing and displaying weakness on every level. He keeps losing court rulings, then tries to distract everyone from the fact that heโ€™s quietly caving to those rulings. He keeps losing his trade wars, then tries to distract everyone from that. His health is failing, and he tries to hide it with makeupโ€ฆ

So heโ€™s gone and done it. So heโ€™s gone and done it. Mr โ€œNo New Wars,โ€ Mr self-anointed Nobel Peace Prize candidate, has attacked the sovereign nation of Iran and risked what he blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of risking, World War III. Maybe Trump attacked Iran to show how tough he is. After all, in 2013 Trump wrote, โ€œObama willโ€ฆ

Trump is slipping Consider this: two years ago the mainstream media was abuzz about President Joe Bidenโ€™s alleged unfitness for the presidency due to his age.

Senile Trump has fallen in love with his enemy Donald John Trump has fallen in love. Yes, itโ€™s happened. And whom, pray tell, is the recipient of his eternal devotion?

Tom Nichols: Chanting USA is not actually a strategy. How do we know when we're done? Three Americans are dead, 48 Iranian leaders and a lot of other Iranians are dead. We need something more than a midnight video from a guy in a hat telling us everything's going to be awesome.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say โ€” Guardian US Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

Republicans still trying to control a girls and womenโ€™s uterus. Once the children are born, the government will refuse to pay for their healthcare after the forced pregnancies. Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS! Trumpโ€™s America.๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿคฌ

I've had conversations with Democratic members, they've asked me how they're perceived. I answered, as most of you have shared your thoughts with me (note: specifically regarding healthcare & Social Security). People WANT to be seen & heard & to see swift action, NOT a letter, but by rapid response.

Not only is Howard Lutnick a LIAR, for context, this was before he was seen with that DISGUSTING email exchange in the Epstein files. In my experiences, I have found that it's ALWAYS the liars & hypocrites that project "people are cheating, scheming and trying to steal via fraud".๐Ÿคฌ

NEVER FORGET: Howard Lutnick said that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks & anyone who complained is a fraudster. Now we KNOW he is perpetrating FRAUD by lying about the Epstein files.
