@biologicaldiversity.org is suing to wipe Trump's face off the America the Beautiful National Parks pass.
By law, the pass must display the winning photo of a federal #PublicLands picture contest. Instead, Trump plastered his own face on it.
Trump's vanity pass is not American, beautiful, or legal

We have a complete psychopath as president.
He needs to be removed, because we won't survive three more years of this.
And even his fucking chief of staff knows this.

A reminder for all those who think perhaps Putin only wants Donbas: in 2021, Putin wrote an essay on the supposed unity of Russians and Ukrainians, not Russians and Donbassians. He wants ALL OF UKRAINE.

What the fuck did we just watch? Why was Trump screaming at the camera? I think he set a record for the mot lies told in the shortest amount of time than anyone in history. Donald Trump is out of his mind. We just saw the proof in real time. #ProudBlue

As congressional hearings go on in public today and can be watched live online by everyone, Jack Smith is testifying behind closed doors despite his written request to appear in public because Republicans don’t want the American people (again) to hear him destroy their lies.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.
