I'll long be in my grave before understanding how my country, the country I fought for, that friends died for, elected this abomination of a human being. I cannot describe my sadness.

Watch as @RepZoeLofgren just eviscerated House Republicans and Donald Trump:

"These lunatics that Donald Trump unleashed back onto America's streets are prepared to go to war for him again. They're violent, they're hate-filled, and they have a president who will not hold them accountable for violating the law. He's pardoned them, he says he wants to give them taxpayer money to reward them. That's the threat we need to be discussing."

Fuck the UFC … and fuck Trump.

That Meet the Press interview is why trump's handlers never allow him to leave the Fox News and right wing media bubble.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Watch Trump’s attempts to cast doubt on the results of the California elections closely.

This is probably just a test run for some of the interference he’s going to attempt in our midterms.

We cannot let him get away with it.

Republicans are planning to screw you over on Social Security and Medicare, programs which they claim to support but plot in backrooms to destroy.

This makes me violently ill.

For JuST HOW LONG Are we going to blame the last administration??? Does taking responsibility mean anything to anybody ???

A Daily Reminder: If Bernie's Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Elon Musk would've paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would be expanded by $2,400 and 91% of Americans would pay $0 more in taxes.

Scrap the damn cap.

@MacFarlaneNews To build a jail. Two weeks.
To get 20,000 Floridians aid for which they are eligible, years. Some die before they get the aid. Others a decade and still waiting.
It is all about priorities. https://t.co/pT0GlCNAJk

Platner's former political director says he does not have the integrity or sound judgment to be a U.S. senator. "He exhibits a pattern of dishonest behavior that is impossible to ignore." https://t.co/duRwWdde9a

The Siege of Leningrad during WWII lasted almost 900 days. It became one of the longest and deadliest sieges in history, with over a million civilian deaths.

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

If Democrats don’t flip Maine, they will need to capture Senate seats in at least 3 states that Trump won by double digits in 2024, a daunting task. And if Republicans retain the Senate, that will provide the GOP two more years to confirm younger replacements for Thomas & Alito.

This is a mink. Most people never see or hear about them because millions are bred on fur farms, where they spend their lives in cages before being killed for their fur... 😔

Do elephants remember who was kind to them?

Yes – and across decades. Our ex-orphans return to the stockades long after they've gone wild, recognise specific Keepers by name, and bring their wild-born calves home to introduce them. They even come back for help.

Last month, Melia walked her new daughter Moon to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit – sixteen years after we rescued her. She came back so the people who raised her could meet her calf.
