At no point during Senate Republicans speeches & questioning of Jack Smith did a single Republican Senator deny Donald J Trump committed sedition, treason, espionage, breach of national security, conspired to overturn a election, conspired to assault, injure or kill Congress & VP. Think about that

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Oh, this is going to piss some folks off. They’ve repeated the lie so many times they thought nobody would check the receipts. We checked. Jeffries is the first Black party leader in congressional history, and the “bought by AIPAC” smear has been repeated like gospel. Here are the actual numbers.

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

The sailors don’t deserve this. And they sure as hell don’t deserve to have their suffering denied by the President and Secretary of Defense. Iran damaged the logistics hub in Bahrain, disrupting supplies to the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hegseth kept it a secret, and it NEVER has gone on this long.

Hillary doesn't mince words: “The next president will have to make a serious decision. What do you do with a half-finished ballroom?” “It would be nice if I could take on the role of ‘Secretary of Gold Removal’ after Trump leaves the White House.” It IS our House, and he IS destroying it !

If you imposed sanctions based solely on the number of Ukrainians killed in each attack, even then they'd still be more effective.

Russia is bombing Ukraine at will. Trump is now hesitant in giving Ukraine missiles or missile plans to stop this slaughter. The U.S. stockpiles of missiles is being used against Gaza and Iran.

russia launched 24 ballistic missiles and 4 hypersonic cruise missiles overnight, primarily targeting Kyiv and the surrounding region. Ukraine was unable to intercept any of them due to a critical shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles. The lack of Patriot missiles is deadly.

Our democracy is only as strong as those willing to defend it. That includes the press. When courage could have been summoned at the White House correspondents dinner, a dangerous complicity took its place. Yes, democracy dies in darkness, but also in cowardice.

This is a campaign video posted by the Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia YouTube account over a year ago. It has garnered only 30,000 views on YouTube. I'm sharing this on BlueSky because I believe it's some of the best Democratic messaging that I've ever seen, and I think it deserves more views.
