BREAKING: Condoleezza Rice just went on Fox & Friends and dismantled Trump’s war on universities and scientific research.

When even Bush’s Secretary of State is side-eyeing your assault on knowledge and education, you’ve officially crossed into uncharted stupidity.

This isn’t left vs. right anymore; it’s reality vs. whatever paranoid fantasy TrumpWorld is cooking up next.

I'm not going to retweet Donald Trump, Jr's disgusting post about Joe Biden today. But I will post this to remind you who IMO that POS is.

BREAKING: French Senator Claude Malhuret just called Trump an “emperor” and Musk a “jester high on ketamine”:

“Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine. We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor".

It’s so sad that our staunchest allies view us in this way.

@EdKrassen Actually I dissent. I am disgusted that so many Americans voted this blight onto the country and the world at large. Trump is nothing but chaos and a threat to democracy. He's not there "for the people." He's there to grift and stay out of jail. Those are his 2 goals.

BREAKING: Justin Trudeau is specifically asked if he believes that Trump's tariffs are an Act of War.

His answer is tremendous.

"Canadians are not angry at the American people for this. We don’t have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. We do things together, we’ve done things together for decades and generations. This is a policy decision by the American government (Donald Trump), designed to go after the Canadian economy. This is a trade war — yes. But Canadians are hurt, Canadians are angry. We’re going to choose to not go on vacation to Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever. We’re gonna choose to try to buy Canadian products and forgo bourbon and other classic American products. We’re probably going to continue booing the American National Anthem. But let me tell Americans — we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players -- we’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us."

How can anyone view Trump as the good guy in this Trade war?

@nelmagene2010 @elonmusk You do realize that Trump froze nearly all Government grants to programs like this, right?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

A Message to Elon Musk @elonmusk and DOGE from a Mother of a boy named Max.

Please at least give it a read and reconsider haphazardly freezing funding on important government programs:

"Elon, this perfect little boy is my son Max. He's not a parasite. He's pure joy. Love radiates from him, and he has a smile for everyone he meets. He was born with a rare genetic form of leukodystrophy called TBCD that is usually fatal by five years of age.

We were filled with hope when the researcher our patient advocacy group has been working with at Nationwide Children's Hospital was awarded with an R01 grant from the NIH after our community pooled our resources to fund the first phase of her research to apply for it. Last year, she showed us some of her work in the lab that PROVED there was a pathway to a treatment.

It was just a few cells in a dish. My son's neural cells -- cured.

Right now, her funds are frozen. The grant that was providing hope for a future for these children with a condition so rare that private pharma would never have any interest in creating a treatment is what you're fighting to slash funding for. You might as well be slashing my kid's throat.

Any delay in bringing this from the bench to the bedside WILL kill children in our community - and you're laughing on X and calling them parasites?

Shame on you."

BREAKING: Superstar actor Dave Bautista of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and pro wrestling fame destroys the lie that Donald Trump is a “tough guy” with a brutal takedown.

This is too good…

“Fellas, we gotta talk,” Bautista said in a segment for Jimmy Kimmel Live. In the clip, he’s seen sparring in a boxing ring.

“A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not,” said Bautista.

“I mean, look at him, he wears more makeup than Dolly Parton,” he continued. “He whines like a baby. The guy is afraid of birds. Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his widdle feet hurt so he could dodge the draft.”

“Look at that gut. It’s like a garbage bag full of buttermilk,” he said, pointing to a deeply unflattering depiction of Trump.

“He sells imaginary baseball cards pretending to be cowboy fireman. The guy’s barely strong enough to hold an umbrella,” Bautista went on.

“I mean looks how he drinks water! Like a like a little pink chickadee,” he said, playing clips of Trump bizarrely slurping down drinks.

“He’s got jugs. Big ones like Dolly Parton. He cheats at golf. He creeps around beauty pageant dressing rooms,” he went on.

“You know that little dance he does? He looks like he’s jacking off a pair of giraffes,” mocked Bautista.

“He’s moody. He pouts. He throws tantrums. He acts like a five-year-old behind the wheel of a truck,” said the actor.

“He bends over for Putin. He’s pettier on social media than a middle school mean girl. The guy needs help walking downhill,” he added. “Almost there grandma!”

“This November let’s stop kidding ourselves. Donald Trump is afraid of rain, of dogs, of windmills, Meryl f*cking Streep, and being laughed at,” said Bautista before laughing uproariously.

“But mostly he’s terrified that real red-blooded American men will find out that he’s a weak, tubby toddler,” he added. “What’s wrong tough guy? Did someone grab you by the p*ssy. Whiny little b*tch.”

Wow. This is devastating and exactly the kind of thing that gets ride under Trump’s thin skin. Save America, vote blue!

@OccupyDemocrats "I helped create a monster" Yep, you did.

Trump is no business genius. He is a grifter who grifts for himself and his billionaire mates, and he's not even very good at that. Watch and repost this short and damning video below.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: The former chief marketer for NBC apologizes to the American people for giving us Donald Trump by helping to sell “The Apprentice” myth to the American people.

This is humiliating for MAGA…

“I want to apologize to America. I helped create a monster,” writes John D. Miller in a piece entitled “We Created a Monster: Trump Was a TV Fantasy Invented for 'The Apprentice'” for U.S. News & World Report.

“For nearly 25 years, I led marketing at NBC and NBCUniversal,” Miller explains. “I led the team that marketed ‘The Apprentice,’ the reality show that made Donald Trump a household name outside of New York City, where he was better known for overextending his empire and appearing in celebrity gossip columns.”

He goes on to state that his team “created the narrative that Trump was a super-successful businessman who lived like royalty” which was a “substantial exaggeration” that “created a false narrative by making him seem more successful than he was.”

Miller points out that Trump had to declare bankruptcy four times before the show premiered and at least twice over the course of its 14 seasons.

“The imposing board room where he famously fired contestants was a set, because his real boardroom was too old and shabby for TV,” writers Miller.

In a section that is certain to bruise Trump’s ego, Miller states that he was the “perfect choice” for the show because “more successful CEOs were too busy to get involved in reality TV and didn’t want to hire random game show winners onto their executive teams.”

Meanwhile, Trump “had no such concerns” and “plenty of time for filming.”

“I never imagined that the picture we painted of Trump as a successful businessman would help catapult him to the White House,” writes Miller, likening all of their advertising around the show to “fake news” because it was so “highly exaggerated.”

“I discovered in my interactions with him over the years that he is manipulative, yet extraordinarily easy to manipulate,” he goes on. “He has an unfillable compliment hole. No amount is too much. Flatter him and he is compliant. World leaders, including apparently Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, have discovered that too.”

Miller calls Trump “remarkably thin-skinned” and describes his adversarial relationship with the show. The future president would claim that the show was number one in the ratings, even when the numbers refuted that claim.

Not surprisingly, Trump was full of bad suggestions for the show. He wanted to make “a team of Black players compete against white players.” Miller tried to convince him against it by appealing to Trump’s greed and telling him that it would alienate sponsors.

“While we were successful in marketing ‘The Apprentice,’ we also did irreparable harm by creating the false image of Trump as a successful leader. I deeply regret that,” writers Miller. “And I regret that it has taken me so long to go public.”

“Now America is facing a critical choice. Should this elderly, would-be emperor with no clothes, who is well known for stretching and abandoning the truth, be president again?” he asks.

“I spent 50 years successfully promoting television magic, making mountains out of molehills every day,” he continues. “But I say now to my fellow Americans, without any promotional exaggeration: If you believe that Trump will be better for you or better for the country, that is an illusion, much like ‘The Apprentice’ was.”

“Even if you are a born-and-bred Republican, as I was, I strongly urge you to vote for Kamala Harris. The country will be better off and so will you,” concludes Miller.

Pretty fucked up watching all these Republican hypocrites posting D-Day messages while supporting a presidential candidate who admires and quotes Hitler, and has repeatedly threatened to dismantle NATO and abandon our allies. #Dday

CNN’s Jim Sciutto: “When General John Kelly told me the story of Trump’s praise for Hitler…he told me, he would sit across from the president at the time, praising Hitler, praising Hitler’s generals for being loyal to him, and he would be flabbergasted that he had to remind Trump, the President of the United States, what Hitler did…”

Rightwing leaders in the US denounce Ukraine's restriction on the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church as a repression of religion.

This video however, shows how deeply the Russian Orthodox Church is alligned with the criminal war effort of the Rusisian State in Ukraine.

Blessing weapons of war, that kill Ukrainian civilans, and soldiers while declaring the genocidal actions of Russia a holy war, is the furthest thing from promoting harmoneous relations with the Ukrainian people and society and branches of that church in Ukraine.

Ukraine is therefore fully justified in declaring some of the Russian Orthodox Church parishes involved in subversive activities illegal, when they promote Moscow's line about the war, and support the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
