I've noticed #Trump knows almost as much about the U.S. Constitution as he does about COVID & how to respond to a pandemic.

Trump owns the FIFA World Cup now? Did he buy it or did he blackmail or extort someone to give it to him?🤔

The thug in chief with some more casual extortion. Threatens to move 7 soccer world cup games next year out of Boston.

"We could take them away," Trump said of the games. "I love the people of Boston, and I know the games are sold out. But your mayor is not good." 🖕🖕 www.espn.com/espn/story/_...

Trump threatens to remove WC games from Boston

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

“Let’s be clear: These aren’t kids joking around,” Holscher said. “These are 20- and 30-something adults with leadership roles in the Republican Party. The chair of the Kansas Young Republicans, who participated in these messages, is nearly 30 years old."

Those of you who used the internet in the 1900s will get this. When Wash Post & NY Times started their websites, all of the articles were free- no paywalls. Many of us knew there was no way that could ever last.
Now in 2025 there are paywalls AND the journalism can barely be called journalism.🙄

It's hard to take these people seriously.

BREAKING: In an insane moment, Speaker Johnson says that priests being shot with pepper balls, and journalists being arrested doesn't "cross the line..." but the most threatening thing he's seen yet is "naked bicyclists."

Beyond parody.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Don’t stop believing in Ukraine 🇺🇦
Don’t stop supporting those who stand between light and darkness.
