The Trump administration will not broker peace for Ukraine. The GOP/MAGA need Putin's hackers to seal the mid-term election.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

I haven’t the froggiest idea why…

A tweet from Molly Ploofkins says: “Inflatable frog costumes are sold out on Amazon.” The attached image shows a product listing for a green inflatable frog costume with dark spots, a white belly, and a blue bow tie. The listing title reads “Inflatable Frog Costume Adult Men Women Outfit… for Halloween Holiday Cosplay Party Animal,” and it’s marked as “Currently unavailable.”

The most powerful military in the history of the world failed to kill all four of the men we falsely claimed were Venezuelans shipping fentanyl to the United States in hopes of starting a war with Venezuela.

Should we just start a war with Colombia instead?

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

While officers cleared the sidewalk and street in front of the Portland ICE facility, ERO agents ran out of the side for a targeted arrest. Lots of tear gas.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

It's easy to tell Trump to contain his shock troops.

But bro, what *specifically* are you doing about the law enforcement *you* control? The video evidence is clear: Illinois State Police incited that situation.
