The UN votes to condemn torture. Nearly every nation on Earth says “no more.” And who proudly stands WITH torture? The U.S., Israel, and Argentina under Trump. If you ever wondered what “American values” look like in MAGA-land, here’s your map: cruelty as policy, torture as identity.

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early.

DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings.

Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

Bono on Donald Trump: “America is the best idea the world ever came up with. But Donald Trump is potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America. He’s trying to hijack the idea of America. Wise people of conscience should not let this man turn your country into a casino”

Calling for the arrest and prosecution of members of the military who refuse to comply with illegal orders is the reddest of red flags.

I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable.

Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.

The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.

The reason the entire State Dept of the US is standing in service of Putin/Russia is b/c Putin has kompromat on the President of the United States who we elected twice in spite of knowing he's a compromised serial child rapist.

CALL YOUR #GOP REPS and ask why they're serving Putin:

Something that I'm reading between the lines in all these ICE abuses is that it's pretty clear they're under insane pressure for numbers numbers numbers from Miller and co. and the agents are having meltdowns when they come back without people.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.

Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

The Art. I Sec. 6 reference is the "Speech and Debate" protection for sitting members of Congress.

If his alleged serious crime had happened during his active service, that's one thing. But punishing him now for something he just said as a sitting Senator? Highly problematic.

I also look forward to trying to argue in court that the common instruction on the need to disobey illegal orders given to all military personnel is now illegal and punishable by court martial. And doing so while a movie called Nuremberg is in theaters.

I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

Posting a meme of himself as a king with opponents kneeling isn’t a joke when it comes from someone calling for elected officials to be jailed. It reflects a mindset that sees political power as personal authority, not constitutional duty.

So a bunch of people who want enormous financial bribes from Russia bypassed the man who REMAINS both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to capitulate to Russia.

Then he got the backing of key Senators, and with it, tried, once again, to prevent the total capitulation by the US.

Headline: Military personnel seek legal advice on whether Trump ordered strikes on drug boats are legal. U.S. Troops & officers are quietly seeking civilian lawyers' advice as not sure whether following Trumps orders expose them to war crimes charges. Civilian/Military relationship breakdown?
This is not how democracy works. When a president calls for the arrest of lawmakers who defend the Uniform Code of Military Justice and then amplify their calls to hang them-that's neither justice nor patriotism. That's authoritarianism. Rise up and resist!

Marjorie Taylor Greene came into Congress in 2021 worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later worth around $25,000,000. 😳 Congress is just a giant insider-trading scheme.
