James Talarico: “We are here at Corruption HQ which is the office of Attorney General Ken Paxton where behind closed doors a sweetheart deal was given to a well-connected lawyer who abused an 8-year-old boy. We don’t need anymore pedophile protectors in our government. I filed a public information request to release the Hoffman Files, Ken Paxton just rejected it”

At the NATO summit today, Trump claimed the U.S. was under attack from the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and confused Zelensky for Putin.

Let's be honest here: Trump has clearly lost his mind.

WOW! SAY IT LOUDER: Pastor Loran Livingston just said what your MAGA uncle's pastor is too scared to say: "There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be."

A Christian nation doesn't kill 20 million Native Americans, steal their land, and leave their descendants in poverty.

A Christian nation doesn't fight a Civil War—losing 500,000 of its own people—just to keep owning human beings.

That's not Christianity. That's conquest with a Bible in one hand and a LIE in the other.

Stop calling it what it never was. HEAT CHECK!!!

WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:

"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

These Army Rangers ran a bunch of Proud Boys out of town after they showed up to Delaney Hall to cause chaos and incite violence!

Shocked residents of St. Petersburg watch Ukrainian drones fly freely over their city. Luckily for them, Ukraine is unlike barbaric Russia. As a result, only military and military-support facilities are being attacked — not the city center itself.

@JoJoFromJerz I don't recall the so-called "Sleepy" Joe Biden falling asleep during these meetings that Trump seems to pass out with each one. Biden was a far more active president than Trump has been.

My friend Robbie went missing in action in Vietnam on October 12, 1972. His body has never been recovered.

I think of him every Memorial Day — and what he died fighting for.

He was sentenced to ten years. Republicans let him out after 6 months. Disgusting.

In 458 BC, Rome was on the brink of collapse.

An invading army had trapped the Roman consul and his legion in a mountain pass. Panic spread through the city. The Senate did the only thing they could think of:

They sent messengers to find a 60-year-old farmer plowing his field.

His name was Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. He had once been a senator, then lost his fortune paying his son's bail. Now he worked his own four-acre plot just to feed his family.

When the Senate's envoys arrived, they found him sweating behind a plow. They asked him to put on his toga so they could deliver an official message.

The message: Rome was making him dictator. Absolute power. Total command of the army. No checks. No oversight. No term limit.

He accepted.

Within 16 days, Cincinnatus had raised an army, marched out, surrounded the enemy, and forced their surrender. The republic was saved.

He had legal authority to rule for six months. He could have stayed. He could have expanded his power. He could have done what every other ruler in human history did when handed unlimited control.

Instead, he resigned on day 16.

He took off the toga, walked back to his farm, and finished plowing the field he'd left half-done.

Twenty years later, when Rome faced another crisis, they called him back. He was 80 years old. He took command, crushed the conspiracy, and resigned again, this time after just 21 days.

He died poor. On his farm.

2,200 years later, when George Washington was offered a kingship after winning the American Revolution, he refused and went home to Mount Vernon. The reason he was hailed as "the American Cincinnatus" is because Europeans literally could not believe a man who had won would willingly give up power.

King George III, on hearing Washington would resign rather than rule, said: "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world."

The lesson isn't that Cincinnatus was humble.

The lesson is that for most of human history, the people most qualified to lead were the ones who didn't want to. And the moment a society starts rewarding those who chase power instead of those who flee from it is the moment the republic begins to die.

Cincinnati, Ohio is named after him.

Most people who live there have no idea why.

$580,000,000 in oil futures moved 16 minutes before Trump announced a pause in Iran strikes.

Not after. Before.

The BBC just documented five separate instances of massive, suspiciously timed trades preceding Trump’s biggest market-moving announcements — oil futures, the tariff pause, Maduro’s capture, Iran ceasefire bets.

The platforms where anonymous accounts cashed in? Polymarket and Kalshi. Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket’s advisory board and is a strategic advisor to Kalshi.

There’s even a law against this. The STOCK Act (2012) explicitly covers executive branch officials. Zero prosecutions in 14 years.

Oh, and the DOJ unit created after Watergate to prosecute exactly this kind of corruption? Trump cut it from 36 lawyers to 2 and stripped its authority to file new cases.

[Richard Smith @Richard_ezio]

They're burying Epstein files because they show Trump raping kids & threatening to kill them.

He was at Lil' Saint James during "terrorist drills," hiding dungeon tapes. We want the flight logs & the basement.

BURN. THIS. COVER-UP.

For maga people saying these generals deserved to be fired and have committed treason, here’s general Mark Milley’s iconic speech “We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution—and we're willing to die to protect it.”🤗🔥

DO YOU AGREE OR NOT ? 👇👇

We’re “not going to prosecute the predators”??? Nice AG we got here.
