Does anyone remember what it took to get rid of Hitler once he took power?
The consequences of this election will be felt for decades and millions will suffer and die. The world will never believe in the promise or the power of America again.
Applebaum: Elon Musk clearly has an ambition to be a Russian-style oligarch.
In that model, wealth and political power mesh together: oligarchs are enriched by politicians, while politicians become tied directly to business power. 1/
Ireland is a Russian colony in plain sight.
Russian mafioso Oleg Deripaska controls the colony.
Russians extract 67,000 tons of alumina per month from their colony and send it back to Russia to build weapons.
That's 83% of total production of Ireland.
I second every sentiment James Carville makes here about Trump. We aren’t angry enough at what Trump and this administration is doing to our beloved country. Stay angry folks and get ready to vote in November, we have to turn out numbers too big to rig.
Jimmy Dore on Thomas Massie’s loss: “We obviously don’t have democracy.”
“It’s an oligarchy.”
“Which is why we have homelessness everywhere.”
“You go bankrupt when you get sick.”
“We go bankrupt just to get educated.”
“And we live in a surveillance state.”
“We’re like China, except we have more street crime and slower trains.”
“How dare we preach democracy around the world and that the people in China are oppressed when we obviously don’t have democracy here?”
“They did that Princeton study in 2015 about how 90% of people, their wishes never are expressed in legislation.”
“It’s only the top 10% of the wealthy people.”
“Your vote literally doesn’t matter.”

This is remarkable. Trump is giving Pulte, who lacks the statutory qualification (national security expertise) for the DNI job the position so they can manufacture another stolen election charge, or perhaps try to justify halting them altogether. It’s out in the open.
Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and they kept it a secret. FDR couldn't walk and they kept it a secret. Eisenhower had heart attacks and they kept it a secret. Reagan had colon cancer and dementia and they kept it a secret. Trump's health is much worse than whatever they let us see.
Trump: “Elon is 80% brilliant, 20% has moments. Elon had a bad moment but now he’s a friend of mind again.”
We all remember that 20% well. When Elon admitted to rigging the election for you and that you were a prominent player in the Epstein files.
It’s important to note that this is not a coincidence or just trolling by Trump and his admin. To such people, the Nazi rise and takeover and transformation of the German government is a success story to be emulated, so why not use their language and tactics?
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.
I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.
That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.
I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.
Albanians aren't just protesting. They burned down the house of their president who approved the sale of the national park to the Kushners.
This is the wayyyy
RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”
Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.
It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!
