Cadet Bonespurs seems to have no qualms about sending American troops into war, whether they're his made out of whole cloth domestic ones or actual foreign ones.

Never thought I'd say this, but Marge is spot on!

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

If ever there was a need for you to use your #PEOPLEPOWER, the TIME is NOW! The NEED is NOW.

This is YOUR country. YOU, the people are the BOSS, not the politicians who are trying to take your freedoms, silence your voices and who fear/hate monger you into submission.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

So much for finally giving full support to Ukraine. The bromance is warming up again now that Puppet Master Putin has used charm offensive where his patsy willing to believe that Russia wants peace.

The EPA could give the $20B they took away when they cancelled the flood protection grants.

Does Director Ratcliffe know that there are ongoing CIA operations or would this be news to him & more importantly, CIA officers who are the ones who'd be in grave danger?

Catherine's Nook @catherinesnook.bsky.social · 5h

This could be a lie & way to silence the masses who question the legality and humanity of these actions since blowing up boats without due process or when not officially at war with another nation is illegal and the murder of people would be deemed crimes against humanity (?)

Sad truth: When one Party can't trust 'promises' made by ruling Party who's proven time & again to refuse to negotiate, negotiates in bad faith or votes for a Bill knowing their supreme leader won't sign onto it.

Result: Nothing gets done & only losers are the American people who counted on you.

Secret deal, something in it for him and/or his family's enrichment only if Milei wins election?
Cheapo-Cheato is gladly and freely using American taxpayer money for his schemes to enrich himself.

What's in it for him & his family that he'd interfere with Argentina's election, using American taxpayer money of course.

Definitely. I've always thought the animus Demented Don had towards JT was based on jealousy more than the outstanding negotiation kills of JT & his team on NAFTA/CUSMA deals). Our handsome PM's a magnet for beautiful women, incl Don-old's own wife & daughter, the one woman he could never bed.

Our former PM, following in his Dad's footsteps, dating intelligent beautiful women.
All the best & hugs 🤗 to Justin & Katy as they enjoy their time together.❤️

What I would have liked to see had Ford acted on his threat:
As a civilian who is not a member of the local, provincial or RCMP, had the Premier's attacked the would-be thief, he should be arrested & charged with assault.
I expect better from the Ontario Premier.

Linus' take on the Epstein Files:

Jon Cooper @joncooper-us.bsky.social · 1d

Linus is right. Release the Epstein files!

Without due process, this should fall under crimes against humanity since it can't be called 'war crimes' given US is not at war with Venezuela.
The boat they blew up on Tuesday had 6 people; too many for cartels to allow on drug boat: a) weight b) space for drugs
c) arrest/seizure by Coast Guard.
