The IC is leaking this at a critical moment.

It's a giant red flag saying Israel is doing everything possible to compromise US policymaking as Washington scrambles to get out of the Iran war.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

D-Day wasn’t about keeping desperate refugees out of Europe.

It was about defeating a fascist regime that treated human beings as less than human.

Hegseth using that anniversary to score cheap political points is cynical, disgusting & fucking shameful.

“We are about to witness an unprecedented event that will push crops around the globe to their limit.”

No one will see it coming because we are forbidden from discussing it.

The End.

Why isn’t this breaking the Internet?

Dave Matthews: “​I will never stop calling for an end to the violence in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon and for that matter the Congo and Sudan and Ukraine or the horrific violence against immigrants and their neighbors in our country”

@ProfHall1955 And what's with the weird 3/4+ profile of her? -- sort of devilish, or something, no?

🚨NEWS: Scientists Were Handcuffed At A Medical Conference.

Researchers and physicians attending the American Diabetes Association conference in New Orleans were reportedly detained and removed while distributing a paper criticizing cuts to federal research funding.

Think about that for a second.

Scientists were not accused of sabotaging research.

They were sharing research.

If the reports are accurate, the question isn’t whether you agree with their conclusions.

It’s why distributing a scientific paper resulted in handcuffs.

That's the heart of the problem Trump has. The stock market is the only thing Trump can point to as doing well in an otherwise dumpster fire of an economy. It goes down the entire game of musical chairs halts.

🚨 Republican Susan Collins has been caught illegally hiding $395,000 in stock trades.

Some analysts say her trades show clear signs of insider trading.

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

Watch for this bitch to exit soon. Self preservation, now that she knows the shit will hit the fan with trump, and his previous boss Netanyahu is in trouble too. She can’t take trump’s stench anymore, and doesn’t want to be the last rat to go down with the ship. Cancer excuse!

Hegseth is in France to honor D-Day…
Instead, he is comparing Immigrants to nazis during WW2.

According to me… This. Is. Fascism.

The reason we’re cheering on @HunterBiden is because he genuine, he’s been through the shit, he’s done the work, he’s smart as fuck, and he’s empathetic.

If you don’t like him because of his past just remember, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

A US group founded to “enhance Israel’s image” & staffed by ex-Israeli officials (including Netanyahu’s negotiator who got US to send $3.8B per year to Israel) is revealed to have helped blueprint the new Republican push to fuse the Israeli & US militaries.https://t.co/t0lJM3FeaW

This is the type of crisis that a Democratic president would be held personally responsible for by the media. Instead it’s getting virtually no national attention despite the issue being directly connected to federal cuts enacted by the Trump administration

[Uncensored.AI @GoUncensored]

Thomas Massie just called Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA what it is:

A treasonous merger of the Israeli and American militaries.

Finally.

Only 13% of the people being held at Delaney Hall have actually been convicted of a crime.

The White House is lying and they're running concentration camps with impunity.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.

It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Well here’s how it works. I go and talk honestly about all the crazy antics I got up to when I was a crackhead and then I go on X and people tell me I’m a degenerate crackhead and I go “yep I sure was” and then people say but what about the laptop and I say “what about the laptop “ and then they say “what about the pardon” and I say “I am really grateful my Dad pardoned” and then…anyway you get the gist.

[ThePatrioticBlonde™🇺🇸 @ImBreckWorsham]

Sooooo....The Pentagon just declared Israel an enemy to the US the same week Congress voted to merge our military with theirs.

Am I getting that right?
