YouTube video by Senator Marco Rubio Rubio Delivers Senate Floor Speech On The Crisis in Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of State Rubio has shown himself to be dishonorable in his pursuit of favor with POTUS. Here is his 2014 Senate speech on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. His lack of honor and integrity as Sec State have made him a global laughing stock! #ProtectTheConstitution🇺🇸 youtu.be/rFqvErYqFRs

President Macron:

We are talking about an imperialist and revisionist power that is today's Russia, which since 2008 has constantly sought to conquer new territories, has constantly revised international borders, and has never kept its promises of peace and non-aggression.

“Mainstream opinion in the '30s wasn't pro-Nazi but it wasn't anti-Nazi in any meaningful way either. People would say, ‘Germany for the Germans — what’s offensive about that?’ Nationalism has a certain accepted sensibility."

Democrats need to go on the offense here. GOP is for billionaires; Democrats are for the 99% -- it even has the virtue of being true. This isn't hard. You can change the script without throwing trans people under the bus.

When you live in a media bubble that turns cruelty into “justice” and violence into “jokes,” you stop seeing people as human. That’s why MAGA can cheer lies about migrants “poisoning our blood” or “slicing up girls.” It’s not delusion—it’s moral collapse.

Well well well! Look similar?
I’ve been to Mar A Lago, I can’t remember. My mom’s boyfriend took us to Bath & Tennis Club, Rod & Gun Club as kids. Lotta Rod & Gun, smaller, snootier. She dated Congressmen, a State Senator, Pro Football coach,

Heritage Foundation just magically ‘found’ a bonus batch of jobs this morning—turns out America’s economic glow-up was hiding in unpublished charts all along. Who knew? Meanwhile, the rest of us are still waiting for the jobs fairy to show up.

I feel like I’m going crazy. 🤪

The Green Men in the Don Bas region of Ukraine did not want their identities revealed either. Either identify as a federal officer or face the consequences of being mistaken for a kidnapper. Your choice.

Pursuant to Northern District of California Local Civil Rules 7-11 and 77-3, Defendants respectfully object to permitting remote public access during the trial proceedings. Local Rule 77- 3(b)(1) permits a court to prohibit remote public access "where doing so would risk interfering with the integrity of the proceedings." "This includes, but is not limited to, situations where remote public access would risk infringing on privacy interests, creating safety concerns, or materially affecting witness testimony." Id. Those conditions are present here. Yesterday, the parties exchanged final witness lists. The parties expect the Court will hear testimony from the three individuals who have given deposition testimony, which includes two Department of Defense officials and one official from the Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Enforcement and Removal Operations. It is undisputed that agitators have used social media and the Internet to coordinate attacks against DHS ICE ERO personnel. See, e.g., DHS Announces ICE Law Enforcement are Now Facing an 830 Percent Increase in Assaults, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/07/15/dhs-announces-ice-law-enforcement-are-now- facing-830-percent-increase-assaults (July 15, 2015); ECF No. 84-1 (June 18 Santacruz Declaration) at I 6 (discussing the violence against National Guard members and law enforcement). And doxxing-the posting of private or identifying information about a particular individual online with malicious intent—has been another significant safety concern. See, e.g., ECF No. 22-1 (June 11 Santacruz Declaration) at I 33 (discussing the "significant instances of demonstrators posting the location, images, and family information of federal law enforcement employees online in an attempt to dox, threaten and obstruct"). Providing remote public access to the trial creates safety concerns for the witnesses and attorneys appearing at trial. At a minimum, Defendants res…

NEW: DOJ asks Judge Breyer to close next week's trial on the Trump admin's possible violations of the Posse Comitatus Act to remote public access, arguing that it endangers DoD/DHS/ICE officials to let the public see who they are. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Texas Gov. Snowflake is still at it now talking about arresting Democratic lawmakers who skipped town instead of helping Republicans push through a gerrymandered redistricting plan.
