Andy Beshear is demonstrating why voters are pushing out incumbent democrats. What a pathetic response to covering up McConnell’s death. “I haven’t heard anything”. Dude get off your fucking ass and go down to the hospital. Cause a fucking scene. We’re tired of this shit.

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

Gov. Beshear, stop posting bullshit reports. Walk into the hospital and demand to see Mitch. He is not just an ordinary citizen. It’s your responsibility to tell Kentuckian if their senator is alive. Do it now. Stop pussyfooting. Not funny!

[Retrievals Resists @Retrievals1]

James Carville is Beshear's campaign manager. He's telling him to not move on the McConnell seat thing bc it might get messy and he may lose some future votes.
I got news for Mr. Carville, Beshear's going to lose many more votes doing nothing.
The "doing nothing" option is gone today.

Tonight at SPAC, Dave Matthews stood center stage, voice full of fire, and spoke the truth we’re all carrying in our hearts: “I am sick of this fucking President.”

He called out the ongoing ICE killings, the cruelty, the heartbreak no one can ignore anymore.

The whole amphitheater rose up with him — singing, shouting, fists in the air — a sea of real people united in exhaustion and hope.

This is what love for humanity sounds like.

We see you, Dave. We feel this. America is done.

Share this if your soul is screaming the same thing. ❤️‍🔥

I remember.

That paragraph was written in August 2020 by Trump’s National Intelligence Council. It says Putin personally ran an operation to frame my father through a fake Burisma scandal centered on me.

Rudy Giuliani flew to Kyiv to collect it from a man Trump’s own Treasury designated as an active Russian agent.

John Solomon printed it and promoted it through Sean Hannity and Fox.

Ken Vogel put it on the front page of the New York Times on May 1, 2019, and moved it into the mainstream.

Senator Ron Johnson ran a Senate investigation on it after being warned by Trump’s FBI that his source was a conduit for Russian disinformation.

James Comer built an impeachment investigation on it knowing all of this.

And an “FBI informant” named Alexander Smirnov went to prison for fabricating a story of bribery after the fact that everyone knew to be a lie.

And Donald Trump declassified the receipt himself.

I remember everything. And I have all of it.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.

We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.

I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.

And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.

And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.

The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.

I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.

We took part in France’s military parade marking Bastille Day. Today, Ukrainian warriors also marched ceremonially down the Champs-Élysées, while our pilots flew Mirage fighter jets as part of joint French-Ukrainian crews.

It is a great honor for us to be here. Emmanuel’s invitation to our defenders is a sign of respect and recognition of the strength of Ukraine, our people, and our Armed Forces. We thank our warriors. We thank France and all our partners who stand with Ukraine.

Three years ago I sued @PatrickByrne for lying about me. He claimed that I took a bribe and committed treason. He implied I was in some part responsible for the Hamas attack of October 7th.

His lies caused real damage and endangered my family.

On Friday I was awarded $1.7M in punitive damages by a Reagan-appointed federal judge. The court determined that everything he said about me was a complete fiction.

For those of you who don’t know Patrick Byrne, he is the former Overstock CEO who lost control of his company when it became public he was sleeping with convicted Russian agent Maria Butina. He is the man who was in the Oval Office with Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell leading up to the January 6th insurrection.

He is a clownish footnote in history. But his lies travel far and wide. He is a fraud who did the bidding of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon.

This isn’t the first defamation case brought against Byrne, and it won’t be the last. Even after losing, he is still doing it.

He continues to tell his audience he has “three dynamite voicemails” and a former federal agent whose testimony confirms his story. Byrne had three years to bring that evidence to court. He never produced it. The voicemails he did produce, the court found, “do not mention a bribe, implicate contemporaneous involvement in any illegal scheme by Plaintiff, or otherwise independently corroborate Defendant’s story.” The former federal agent Byrne relied on, John Moynihan, gave sworn testimony that contradicted him. The FBI agent Byrne claimed had backed him up denied it under oath.

Those are not my findings. Those are the findings of a federal court. And nothing prevents Byrne from releasing the voicemails he keeps promising his audience. He never has, because the court has already listened to what he produced and found they prove nothing.

Patrick will try not pay this judgment. He didn’t pay the $34,969 the court ordered six months ago either. His strategy is delay. Fire the lawyer. Skip the hearing. File nonsense with courts that have already ruled. Repeat the lie on Alex Jones while the clock runs.

He is not a whistleblower or a spy. He is a man who got played by a Russian intelligence asset, lost his company over it, and has been performing a spy fantasy on the internet ever since.

He is a coward who wouldn’t even show up in court to face me. He is hiding in Dubai, where he fled during my case to avoid being deposed, and told the court a story about a Venezuelan hit squad to explain it.

He will run from this judgment the same way he ran from my trial. Fine. Every defamatory statement is a new lawsuit. I have as much time as he has words.

In 1962, Brendon Grimshaw purchased Moyenne Island in the Seychelles for roughly $11,000. At the time, the small island was completely barren and uninhabited.

Over the following decades, Grimshaw dedicated his life to restoring its ecosystem. He personally planted more than 16,000 trees, created walking trails, and reintroduced endangered species — most notably giant Aldabra tortoises — transforming the once-desolate island into a lush, thriving nature sanctuary.

Despite numerous offers from wealthy developers eager to turn the island into a luxury resort, Grimshaw consistently refused. He famously rejected a $50 million bid, determined to keep Moyenne Island as a protected natural haven open for people to enjoy rather than a private commercial venture.

In 2009, his vision was permanently secured when Moyenne Island was incorporated into the Sainte Anne Marine National Park, becoming the smallest national park in the world.

Grimshaw lived on the island until his death in 2012, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of conservation and environmental stewardship that continues to protect this unique paradise for future generations.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as it should be remembered: "Trump Before America, facilitated by idiots who called themselves patriots."
His treachery - most done purely for power and profit, and some from pathology, revenge, and entitlement, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
I have to add that a good deal of it would not have happened but for our legacy media's consistent and widespread normalization of his disorders.

EU officials are calling to strip the IOC of its European funding after it reinstated Russia's Olympic Committee.

Estonia will propose excluding the IOC from EU funding programs, including Erasmus+.

"It is impossible to understand decisions that seek to bring aggressor countries back into international sport as if nothing had happened," Estonia's culture minister said, and the EU's sport commissioner signaled support: sport "cannot become a back door for normalizing aggression."

The 7 July IOC decision paves Russians' way to the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Ukraine's sports minister called it an "alarming signal" and asked federations to hold their bans.

‘DOGE’ slashed staff and services at Social Security—and took your personal data.

They cut cancer treatments for kids and attacked veterans’ care.

They may say they’re gone, but they’re still embedded in our agencies—and we’re still demanding answers and accountability.

I’ll never forgive glitch Mitch McConnell for stealing Obama’s SCOTUS pick, claiming 8 months before the election was too close - then stealing Biden’s SCOTUS pick, claiming 8 days before the election wasn’t. He’s responsible for this shitshow.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

Your reminder that this sonofabitch Mitch McConnell, stole not 1 but 2 SCOTUS seats and packed the lower court with right-wing fanatics and refused to persuade Republican Senator's to convict Trump in both impeachment trials. He's responsible for this fucking nightmare.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

Fucking Jake Sullivan was the master of howling "nuclear escalation" even if a wist of air blew from Ukraine into Russia. That asshole single handledly provided the Russian imperialist the ultra weak pussies they wanted in the West that would piss in their pants when they heard the word Russia.
