Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) statement defending his constituent David Hearn, who is charged with damaging Reflecting Pool... (It ain't subtle)

"Davey Hearn would never desecrate a federal building or landmark by writing his name on it or affixing his name illegally to it or engaging in any other kind of political graffiti, vandalism or delinquency. He would never intentionally damage government property. Whether we are talking about the White House, the Reflecting Pool or the Kennedy Center, Davey would never try to alter, bulldoze or redesign federal property or buildings without explicit Congressional authorization and direction.  Davey is an honorable and law-abiding citizen who has won real giant prizes, including eight world championships. He did so without any corrupt practices and only through his magnificent hard work and surpassing dedication to the team. He would never try to undercut or sabotage anyone, much less our entire community"

GrabAGun, the company hoping to become "the Amazon of guns" could reap a windfall from a proposed rule change that would make it easier to ship guns directly to people's homes.

Guess who happens to be a key investor in the company? Trump's eldest son.

Now that we are knee deep in McConnell’s health cover-up, I’ll remind you they are doing the same for Trump.

It’s been almost a year since Trump *obviously* had a stroke, and 1.5 years since he started getting monthly injections in his hands.

It’s been 6 months since an 80 year old got special FDA compassionate access to a novel drug through political connections.

And it’s been 5 times in 2 years that they’ve tested Trump for cognitive decline using the MOCA.

All while his medical reports claim he is fine.

If you’re concerned about how they hide McConnell’s health to cling to power - imagine what they are hiding about POTUS.

9:24pm. I saw men in white masks marching on an overpass in my own province. My mouth fell open.
I’m an Alberta girl — Cree, Iroquois, French, Treaty Six. I don’t recognize this place right now.
A group with actual fascist roots marching in masks. A referendum pushed through in defiance of two court rulings. A government going authoritarian — using the law to threaten chiefs instead of answering them. This isn’t simmering anymore — it’s burning right out in the open.
I wrote about what we’re becoming. Don’t look away. Read/Share my latest here at Indigenous Insider.

Unflappable vs child in mid tantrum
Formidable vs weak pretender

This is precisely what I was talking about yesterday (and when this retrofit started).

There’s simply no way to turn a regular plane into a mobile command center for a nuclear-armed nation in 10 months.

Even allowing Trump to fly on the Qatari plane is a security risk.

Mitch McConnell is reportedly brain dead. The journalist who broke his cardiac arrest is at the hospital waiting for them to move his body. Her name is Desirée Townsend.
She's the independent reporter who obtained the EMS scanner audio confirming paramedics performed CPR at McConnell's D.C. home on June 14. NBC and CBS spent a week catching up to her.
Yesterday she tweeted that she's physically at the hospital, that multiple sources have told her the 84-year-old senator has been declared brain dead, and that his Capitol Police detail was still there as of 3:39pm ET.
Laura Loomer posted the same claim, citing a White House source. McConnell's office will not confirm or deny. They insist he is "continuing to improve."
The brain-death claim is not yet verified. Here's what is.
McConnell has been hospitalized for three straight weeks with no public explanation.
His office has never said why he was admitted. His last vote was June 11.
His wife Elaine Chao was photographed in Beijing meeting the Chinese vice president three days after her husband collapsed. She has not come home.
His daughter deactivated her X account.
Neighbors of his D.C. townhouse say no one has come or gone since the ambulance took him away. Not family. Not staff.
Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear says McConnell's office is not returning his calls.
Now the politics.
Kentucky Republicans quietly rewrote the state's succession law in 2024. If McConnell's seat opens, Beshear cannot appoint a replacement. A special election gets triggered instead.
And the timing matters. If he can't finish his term after August 3, the special election just rolls into November. Before August 3, the GOP has to hold a standalone race.
They’re watching the calendar.
The election they're trying to avoid is the GOP's nightmare. Thomas Massie, the Republican congressman who has become one of Trump's loudest critics, would be a heavy favorite to run and split the red vote wide open.
Every day they hide McConnell's condition is a day they don't have to hold that race.
Whatever is actually happening in that hospital room, this is the picture from outside it: a senator who has not been seen in three weeks, a wife who left the country, a family that has gone dark, a governor being frozen out, and a party racing the clock on a succession law they wrote themselves.
Townsend is still at the hospital.

BREAKING: MAGA SEETHES! Governor Gavin Newsom returns 136 acres of California coastline property to three Indigenous tribes — righting a historic wrong.

Moral action always enrages Republicans…

The sacred land in question is located in Medocino County and will now be entrusted to the stewardship of Kai Poma, a nonprofit that represents the Pomo Indians, Round Valley Indian Tribes, and Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians.

Planning documents show that Kai Poma intends on putting the area to good use, conducting cultural and archaeological studies in addition to much-needed environmental studies. Once those projects are underway, they’ll move forward with long-term plans to responsibly manage the region’s resources.

Prior to this transfer, the land has been mostly used as unregulated public land. The decision was approved by the California Transportation Commission and Newsom. This marks the first time that the California Department of Transportation has returned land to the Tribes, and hopefully it will lead to similar actions elsewhere.

Right-wing media is predictably upset, with the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post decrying the fact that such “beloved,” “popular,” and “dramatic” land is being returned to the people who were here long before European settlers set foot in California. As always, white nationalist resentment simmers beneath Republican complaints.

But if conservatives are upset, you know that something good is happening. And as always, their whining is in bad faith. The rest of the public is not being shut out of the land, and visitors will be welcome from sunrise to sunset.

This is a win in every sense of the word!

BREAKING: HELL YEAH! Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen defies Trump by boldly declaring that her country will defend “every inch” of NATO as Trump threatens Greenland.

This is true courage in the face of fascism…

“We will defend the kingdom of Denmark,” Frederiksen said at the NATO summit in Turkey.

The remarks came after Trump once again insisted that the United States must annex Greenland for “national security” purposes.

“Greenland is a big problem for us. We need it for protection of the world, not just the United States, and it’s very important,” he said. “It doesn’t help Denmark.”

In reality, Trump’s deranged dreams of territorial conquest have nothing to do with defense. Greenland is part of NATO, so the U.S. already has de facto military control of the island. Simply slapping American “ownership” over it accomplishes nothing beyond flattering Trump’s ego.

And that’s what this is really about.

The same megalomania that possessed him to try in vain to chisel his name into the Kennedy Center and erect a gaudy ballroom is now driving him to gobble up Greenland. Trump wants to be remembered as a President who seized more territory since he has no actual achievements to his name.

Thankfully, the rest of the world is done being pushed around by this dementia-riddled bully.

“We are ready to defend every inch of NATO, including our own territory,” said Frederiksen.

“We are a sovereign state and we need everyone to respect our territorial integrity and our sovereignty,” she added. “Article 5 is our insurance.”

Much to MAGA’s chagrin, the EU is standing with the Danish.

“Decisions about the future of Greenland are for Greenlanders and Danes to decide,” said Olof Gill, a spokesman for the European Commission. “Territorial integrity, national sovereignty and inviolability of borders are fundamental principles of international law.”

The safest bet is that Trump will soon move on to some other distraction after this summit concludes and Greenland will remain free. But the damage he’s done through rhetoric alone is incalculable. Our core military alliances have been deeply shaken and our once close European friends realize that they can no longer trust the United States.

When he finally slithers out of the Oval Office, Trump will leave behind a weaker, less stable, more isolated America than the one he inherited.

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the people of Greenland!

BREAKING: French Senator Claude Malhuret TORCHES Trump and his alcoholic, drug-addicted administration on the floor of the Luxembourg Palace: "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction!"

This might be the greatest MAGA takedown of all time. Nobody was spared...

"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health," he said, referring to RFK Jr.

Malhuret's comparison to the mad Emperor Nero is fitting. It's said that he fiddled while Rome burned. In Trump's case, he's building a ballroom while the entire world goes up in flames.

"A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy. An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces," Malhuret continued, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

"An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice. A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security," Malhuret went on, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Bondi previously worked for the Ballard Partners firm which raked in $115,000 a month by lobbying on behalf of Qatar.

"A Turkish proverb says 'When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus," said Malhuret. "His fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since the creation of the Board of Peace, Trump has triggered more military strikes than Biden during his entire term."

"Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction," he continued. "Bomb more to win more."

This is how the world now sees the American president: as a pedophile desperately exploiting his role as commander-in-chief to obscure the fact that he preyed on children with his long-time pal Jeffrey Epstein.

"There isn't a single country where Trump did not take advantage of the situation to enrich himself without ever forgetting his family. A Boeing plane offered by Qatar," he said, referring to the $400 million jet that Qatar "gifted" to Trump. "Investment in all Gulf projects or elsewhere. Stock market manipulation that only a few insiders benefit from."

"Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests."

Rarely have we heard such an exhaustive yet succinct distillation of the Trump administration's rampant criminality and incompetence. By focusing on individual Cabinet members and what makes them uniquely unfit for office and then expanding the aperture to the broader patterns of corruption and malignancy, Malhuret delivered a master class in political messaging.

Every mainstream outlet in the U.S. should be running this speech to show Americans what the world thinks of our leaders.

Since they won't, please make sure to like and share to spread this far and wide!
