I used to be politically center, but Trump is guilty as hell.
I repost, and nobody cares.
Twitter smart-ass that actually uses facts.
MAGA-Get over yourself
Working people are not “powering” through it. He and his rich friends are though. Multi-million dollar insider stock trades, record oil company profits, and increased consumer spending by the top 20% while working people have lost their savings and maxed out credit cards to survive. This has been an absolute windfall for the Epstein Class and disaster for regular Americans.
Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that the corrupt Clarence Thomas is everything that is wrong with the Supreme Court, and the MAIN reason we need term limits and expanded court.
Flip the House & Senate.
INVESTIGATE THOMAS.
Justice Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench.
It reads in part: "Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong."
…
"In holding otherwise, the Court gives the President a power unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted, elevating him above his once-coequal branches by transforming a duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed into a license to act in defiance of those very laws."
Ken Paxton was impeached for taking bribes from donors.
He became a multi-millionaire on a government salary.
He takes lavish vacations in Iceland while Texans can’t afford the basics.
Ken Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.
I’ve seen some of the files the DOJ is hiding.
They include records contradicting Trump’s claim that he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago.
Those redactions weren’t about protecting survivors. They were about protecting Trump from embarrassment.
End the cover-up.
.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
Yes, Kristof's NYT pieces name specific children and link their deaths to aid disruptions.
Examples:
- Jibia, 10, Uganda: died July 7 from malaria after cuts left no mosquito net or care.
- Peter Donde, 10, and Achol Deng, 8, South Sudan: died from opportunistic infections after losing HIV meds when PEPFAR/USAID programs ended.
These are on-the-ground cases he reported; broader "hundreds of thousands" figures are model-based estimates.
“It's pretty concerning that the President of the United States either is so stupid that he doesn't know what a passport is or that his mentals are declining at such a rate that he's forgotten.”
Tim takes on Trump’s dumb passport on Bulwark Takes.
Karl: Israel is a Jewish state. That’s in the charter. Do you support that?
Mamdani: I’ve said time and again that I support the state of Israel as a state with equal rights.
Karl: As jewish state?
Mamdani: I believe that any state that privileges one religion over another is one that I can’t tell you I support, whether it be Israel or Saudi Arabia or anywhere else. And a lot of that comes back to a fundamental belief that we should all be considered equal, no matter what our faith is.
Nobles: "There's no evidence that fraudulent votes have changed any election outcomes. Are you trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist?"
Marshall: "Americans don't feel that the elections are trustworthy."
Nobles: "Part of the problem is that President Trump keeps accusing election systems of not being fair and not being secure, but there's no actual evidence of that."
Soccer purist: Even if the guy is a millimeter offsides and it goes against the spirit of the rule it absolutely must be called.
Confused fan: Interesting. So when does the game end?
Soccer purist: Whenever the ref feels like ending it.
