You won’t get back the hours of your life spent watching folks on TV talk about Trump’s trials and how he was finally gonna be held accountable. Or how DOJ was gonna save the day. Trump was NEVER gonna be held accountable. The system was designed to help men like him go free.
Trump is to accountability what Orson Welles was to Pole vaulting

So, we are just going to *allow* Kushner to serve in this administration though no one voted for him. Not us.
Not the Senate.
No one.
And we’re not protesting this.
This sends a confirmation to the world of our weakness on the world stage.

Proud to partner with UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to sign an MOU deepening climate cooperation between California and the UK.
As communities face extreme weather and rising costs, we’re accelerating innovation and investing in solutions to tackle climate change.

California will keep showing up, pushing forward, and proving that a safer, more sustainable world is possible.

If Epstein was still alive, Todd Blanche would’ve already had him transferred to a Club Fed after he agreed to give a statement that Trump did nothing wrong.

Mike Lindell is asked to explain why he has spent over half of the $350,000 in campaign contributions he’s taken in buying copies of his own book. He says he hands them out instead of fliers and “we got them for a good price.”

Apparently “America First” means promising foreign countries financial assistance from US taxpayers but only if they vote for the incumbent president trailing in the polls.

Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.

For anyone keeping track of the Iran buildup, we’ve now sent more AWACS into theater.
Curious to see how tomorrow’s talks go, but it’s pretty clear the administration isn’t planning for them to be good.

To my surprise, CDC is still tracking how many children RFK condemns to measles. Cases are getting younger and, of course, it is spreading faster.

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.
