Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

It’s really fascinating to see republicans argue against this today. I was a county chairman on the canvassing board in Florida during the Bush/Gore recount. They were adamant that all military and late arriving ballots be counted. We counted ballots received as late as 12days after Election Day.

Overnight, two Journey Aviation ICE flights left Mesa, AZ, and landed in southern Poland, likely a chain refoulement of Ukrainian immigrants to a warzone.

Nixon's executive branch goons thought they were untouchable while committing crimes for Nixon. And when Nixon fell from power, 48 of them were criminally convicted & 30 went to prison. Beginning in January 2029, those numbers will pale in comparison to what's coming for Trump's criminal cabal.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Dems should be clear that post 2026 election any political prosecutions ordered by Trump will be investigated, line prosecutors called to testify, and if warranted, impeachment of AG and any other senior DOJ involved. There have to be consequences.

HOLY MIKE JOHNSON (CREEPY GOD-OBSESSED WEIRDO!) THINKS WE'RE ALL DUMB ENOUGH TO BUY HIS STUPID STORY ABOUT DONALD TRUMP RATTING OUT HIS DEAD PEDO BESTIE TO THE FBI. COME ON MIKE, WE'RE NOT AS DUMB (OR AS CREEPY) AS YOU ARE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST ABOUT IT: bit.ly/4p9axZH

but wait, Dear Leader was an FBI informant? that’s the story Holy Mike’s going with?

fact check:

“I have rep’d FBI informants, as well as agents. This is real easy to prove because Trump’s name would be in 302 and other reports. There are document policies that apply to informants.”

‘Donny’s an informant’ was such a dumbfuck thing for Holy Mike to blurt out — because one common way to become an FBI informant is to get caught doing a crime, and then agree to rat on your accomplices in return for leniency. so is that what you’re saying, Mike? that Donny was guilty of the same sick shit his dead pedo bestie was getting up to, and he got caught?

also: come on — if Donny were an FBI informant, don’t you think he’d have bragged about it by now? of course he would have. Donny can’t shut the fuck up about anything. he would have spent the last two decades yammering about how he knows more about FBI informing than all the FBI informerators.
