Since the Republican Political Party has assumed control of three branches of government they have assumed enemy positions against: Canada, China, Mexico, Panama, Denmark, Norway, Brazil, So Korea, Venezuela, Gaza, and Greenland ~
Literally, inventing enemies for Americans. This is the problem.

“People like Maxim — who refuse to become silent accomplices to the Kremlin’s crimes — are saving our country’s honor amid this current darkness. And it will be they who will lead Russia back to normality once the drawn-out nightmare of Putin’s rule is over.”

The arrest of opposition leader Maxim Kruglov is a blow against the last vestiges of Russian democracy.

Remigration was Germany’s non-word in 2023.

While it means to migrate back, it has become a far-right euphemism of forced repatriation. When the far right uses the term, it’s an overtly racist call for forceful mass deportation of non-white immigrants.

In case anyone was wondering about the U.S…

I’m pretty sure they don’t even let you *run* for Congress as a Republican unless you’ve got at least one (1) restraining order from a former girlfriend half your age.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills

A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.

Trump bailed out Argentina, who then undercut US farmers by selling their soybeans to China, who used be our biggest customer for soybeans before Trump drove them away with his tariffs.

This is Trump 3D chess in action.

Arrogance, Ignorance and Idiocy.

The whole linear progress of time thing remains a challenge for MAGA.

A tweet by WeThePeople reads, “Jack Smith was hired months after the raid.” The post quotes a tweet by Aaron Rupar showing Eric Trump in a TV interview, saying, “Sure enough, we find out that Jack Smith is planting manilla folders on the office of my father...” The screenshot shows Eric Trump speaking on a Fox News-style broadcast with a city skyline backdrop.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

It's unacceptable that firefighters who die or are permanently disabled from work-related cancers don't receive the same benefits as others in the line of duty.

I'm working across the aisle to pass my bill to honor our commitment to these first responders and their families.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."
