The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

“Corporations are people”

“Let the states decide on women’s reproductive healthcare”

“The president cannot be indicted for anything deemed an official act”

…just a few of their gems that have generationally marginalized democracy and rule of law in our republic.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

I want us to hang on to the fact that the people who were murdered were just civilians out in boats, most likely fishermen, who had never even heard the sketchy conclusions of American officials for which they were executed, much less had a chance to defend themselves.
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Continually amazed that someone who's been in public life as long as Trump has lacks the capacity to say anything appropriate when someone has died.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Average electricity cost increase since Jan:

Missouri ⬆️ 37%
Iowa ⬆️ 30%
North Dakota ⬆️ 30%
Oklahoma ⬆️ 30%
New Jersey ⬆️ 27%
Nebraska ⬆️ 25%
Montana ⬆️ 25%
Wyoming ⬆️ 23%

NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11%

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

It’s not unimaginable. This is the same peace deal the kremlin peddled to Trump in 2016 via Kilimnik. And don’t forget Jared’s multiple Middle East “peace deals” that never included Palestine. There’s been like three of those.
Himes: "This shows Steve Witkoff almost literally sitting side with the Russians on this ... it's unimaginable to consider the fact that you would propose a peace deal that the Ukrainians didn't even know about."

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."

We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Democrats saw the game he was trying to play and beat him at his own game.

If Trump wanted to launch a nationwide attack on fair maps, he should’ve been ready for the blowback.

Actions have consequences. He’s meeting his.

This Texas woman developed preeclampsia, leading to still-birth. She DIED, leaving her young son behind.

This happens while an all-male panel in South Carolina is deciding whether women should be charged w/ murder for their pregnancies.

Abortion is healthcare.

How many more women have to die?

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
