Tim Walz: "Here's what I'd challenge Trump to do: find three soybean farmers who will stand with you and say that's okay. Just three. I challenge you to do that because you're not gonna find them."

Fair critique. First female speaker and a lawmaking force was what I referred to and stand by. Two things can be true and you are not wrong.

Nancy Pelosi must be pressured to stepping away from Congress. Enough is enough. She’s an icon and I admire her immensely but come on!! Have we learned nothing?!

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Not. Cowards who need masks because they know there’ll be an accounting. I certainly won’t forget.

Maine Senate: Platner-Mills Is a Huge Clash Over the Dems’ Vision

Mills needs to give it up and let the next generation lead;
Susan Collins cannot distance herself from Trump. But for War Sec, she voted to confirm every wacko & voted for BBB.

No to Collins and just as much No to Schumer.

Bob Wheeler @rmwkenpo.bsky.social · 8h

I’ve gotten a ton of Janet Mills fundraising texts. To be clear- I appreciate her service, greatly. I loved how she stood up to Trump. But she’s too old for this and she’ll be another Schumer supporter. Every text I get I reply “drop out”. Let’s elect @grahamformaine.bsky.social.

Not a Schumer sycophant. New Senators who will vote against that fool are the kind I want representing us! Support @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

When talking head morons in the MSM ask Dems “Shouldn’t Trump get credit for the peace deal?” they should respond “Let’s see the details.”. So when the bombing and the further oppression of Palestinians surfaces, as it will, there’s no record of praise for this corrupt abhorrent slob.

Trump meet with world leaders in Egypt to celebrate ceasefire in Gaza. Kudos to getting all prisoners released, but Hamas still controls nearly half of Gaza, so let’s hold off on the phrase, “Golden Age.”

Gee Burr is upset that a wealthy comedian got some blood money from the Saudis to help them continue their image campaign while continuing to be a brutal autocracy?
Can’t he just get more and not be exposed for his hypocrisy?!

Never ever forget the damage Musk has done. Never forget Thiel’s insidious workings. Never forget Bezos/Zuckerberg/Cook’s enabling of the most corrupt administration we’ve ever seen! I will not.

Nobody from the Trump admin will answer this simple question no matter how many times you ask it. For some reason. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food
