Kelly: "When Trump was bankrupting the Taj Mahal casino, I was taking fire over Iraq... When Trump was writing birthday messages to Epstein, I was the first to arrive at the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts... When Trump was promoting conspiracy theories against President Obama, I was sitting beside my wife's hospital bed... I've been through much worse in service to my country. The president and Pete Hegseth will not silence me."

Many thanks to Brian Krassenstein!

“The weirdest thing about leaving America is realizing how much of America is just a sales pitch.

You spend your whole life hearing “greatest country on Earth,” then you go overseas and see clean trains, safer streets, affordable medicine, cities where people can walk without playing Frogger with an SUV, and workers who take vacations without acting like they committed treason.

And then you come home.

You come home to potholes, medical debt, school shooting drills, $17 airport sandwiches, people living in tents under highways, politicians wearing flag pins (or worse, gun pins) while doing absolutely nothing for the people standing in food bank lines, and billionaires being treated like they’re the fragile ones.

And somehow we’re all supposed to stand there, hand over heart, and pretend this is normal.

I don’t hate America. I hate what America has been taught to tolerate.

I hate that we call basic things “radical.” Healthcare? Radical. Paid leave? Radical. Clean air? Radical. Kids not getting shot in math class? Somehow political.

Meanwhile, the loudest “patriots” are usually the same people telling struggling Americans to shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful.

Grateful for what? A flag doesn’t pay rent. A bald eagle doesn’t cover insulin. Fireworks don’t fix bridges. And chanting “USA” doesn’t make a broken system less broken.

America has incredible people. That’s the tragedy. The people are better than the system they’ve been forced to defend.

So no, I’m not going to call America the greatest country on Earth just because it has the best marketing department.

Real patriotism isn’t pretending the country is perfect.

Real patriotism is being angry that it isn’t”

In any normal world, this would be an address from the President of the United States.

Less than 90 people showed up for a rally with JD Vance in Iowa today.

WAPO is reporting that at least four more service members have died in the war in Iran than DOD is publicly acknowledging.

CNN is reporting that the US almost seized a Chinese vessel because AI incorrectly identified it as containing Iranian nuclear material.

Clown show.

THIS IS AMAZING: All these people are gathered at the Kennedy Center to LINK ARMS around the building, in protest of his threat to tear it down if he can't put his name on it.

STAND STRONG! 🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Trump just said he's kicking CNN, MSNOW, and Politico out of the White House.

I was there the day he ejected CNN's Jim Acosta in 2018... Trump's staff gloated... then I watched a federal judge body slam the WH and order Jim's pass restored.

The First Amendment will prevail.

Mandy Patinkin is an incredibly brave Jewish man. You can hear the heartbreak in his voice every time he speaks about what’s happening to Palestinians. He cares so deeply, and he refuses to stay quiet about it. Protect this man at all costs. ❤️

It's official: Bari Weiss needed just 11 months to gut the oldest, most revered, and most-watched newsmagazine in history.

On Tuesday the final Nielsen numbers for the season debut of 60 Minutes landed like a brick. Viewership cratered 21%. The collapse arrived after veteran producers and correspondents were purged, and after Weiss and her boss, Paramount CEO David Ellison, turned the legendary broadcast into an unwatchable, fascist-friendly propaganda mill for the authoritarian Trump regime.

The ticking stopwatch now sounds like a funeral dirge.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie reads articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth.

About. Damn. Time.

🚨 BREAKING:

Jones to Hannity: "Shame on you. Your children will be ashamed of your position. I'll pray for you. Tell Trump to stop issuing pardons and look in the mirror if he wants to go after criminals."

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos fired a disproportionate number of journalists who wouldn’t support Trump & right wing propaganda.
So they founded a NEW newspaper to fight disinformation from the Trump regime.
Welcome & support the *The Washington Sun*
(and stop using Amazon)

📸 THIS is what showing up looks like.

President @JoeBiden is fighting Stage 4 cancer.

Tonight, he quietly walked into St. Patrick’s Cathedral for the 9/11 Memorial Mass. Families APPLAUDED as he entered. Then he stayed afterward to meet with them.

Trump and Vance were invited.

They didn’t show.

Joe Biden did.

No spectacle. No excuses. Just showing up for the families and for the country he loves.

THAT is why we love Joe Biden. 🇺🇸

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who wants to know WHERE THE HELL IS MARCO RUBIO, the Secretary of State, and why are Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner meeting with Putin instead of him?

None of this shit is normal.

Nellis to Jennings: Scott, why don't you pull out your phone and ask Mitch Mcconnell how he feels about it

[anyone_want_chips @anyonewantchips]

Let me get this straight, Republicans went berserk when Lloyd Austin took three days to notify the WH about his emergency hospitalization - but when Mitch McConnell disappears for 84 days - not a fucking word.

[Peter Morley @morethanmySLE]

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress, DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Outdoor retailer Patagonia is suing the orange felon and the MAGA regime again over their destructive attacks on National Parks.

Love it, more of this please.

We cannot overlook the reality that Black people are still being lynched.

Women, the reason you can have a credit card in your own name and don’t need a man’s signature to open a bank account is because of Gloria Steinem. RIP to this queen.
