If people are innocent until proven guilty, this sure was murder. Trump/Hegseth are on a killing spree and the Republican Congress refuses to deal with it. Of course, they’re on paid vacation just now, but they’ll ignore these crimes some more when they get back.

Bush-era mushroom cloud menace all over again. Lazy Repubs can’t even find new bs to peddle.

Dems must hammer on the link between corruption and bad economy: — Trump’s war drove up fuel costs and cost of all goods, but rewards his sons’ investment in defense corps. — ICE pays huge fees for concentration camps run by Repub. donors. — Illegal tariffs refunded to corps., not consumers.

The Repub. establishment may not care, but the NYT article cites a poll that 89% of respondents believe corruption is widespread. The link between corruption and general econonic pain is too obvious for voters to miss.

Trump belongs in jail, and so does Stephen Miller.

They stopped and demanded this boy’s “papers” because he looked hispanic. Though he had a pending application with INS, and wasn’t breaking any laws, now he is in a concentration camp. We are living under a fascist regime. #TrumpBelongsInJail #StephenMillerBelongsInJail

Not likely he will win that motion, in light of the history of this case. You’ve been going upside his head so bad he’s punch drunk.

He was focused on “the work” of maximizing payments for being Trump’s son in law. So he’ll respond to charges of corruption? What does he know about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi?

He has nearly destroyed every positive goal of US life. 1. Care for national parks and environment. 2. Ethical DOJ and federal courts. 3. Foreign aid and medicine for poor nations. 4. Aid for Ukraine. 5. Avoidance of gross corruption. 6. Promotion of democracy here and abroad. 7. Public service.

What happened? The very fine words in the Constitution mean nothing at all when Congress refuses to do its duty.

Johnson is correct. The current Congress is unmatched… in its depravity. Indifferent to its responsibilities, cheering on an executive branch that is totally off the rails, it is historic for its laziness and cowardice.

The anti-vaccine crowd are literally a menace to society, and it is a money-making grift. They push vitamins, nostrums and supplements as if we’re still in Victorian times. And the credulous among us will see their children die.

The signs demanded “MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW!” and were displayed by gray-haired Republican women and others at the convention. I knew it was an evil and fascist trend. Why couldn’t everyone see it?

Sure there are cameras everywhere, but the glasses also have a facial recognition feature which can identify who is being leered at. Not sure if it has been activated yet, but it would be useful for creeps and stalkers.

Ukrainians are victims of terror attacks every day. Every day is like 9/11 for them, but they refuse to surrender their freedoms to Russia. Russia will not prevail. Meanwhile, the day is approaching when Putin will soar through an open window like a drone without propellers. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🌻🌻🌻🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

After the hearing which found him in contempt, oily hypocrite Denny Hoskins asked voters to “please keep Missouri in your prayers.” How about you drop the religiosity and comply with court orders so people’s votes aren’t suppressed?

Re: risk of #nuclear war. #Trump: increasingly demented, surrounded by yes-men. Has fired experienced and wiser generals. Has expressed skepticism over ruling out use of nuclear weapons. Due to erratic behavior, the risk is unacceptably high. Conclusion: he must be removed from office #25Amendment

Post office has no authority to act as a gatekeeper for people who vote by mail. Mucking up mailed ballots is just a very efficient way to disenfranchise people, so Trump is pushing it hard.

The Book of Snobs, by Wm. Makepeace Thackeray. London 1869. Embossed, gold-stamped cloth with Thackeray’s monogram. If this were “digitized” for AI purposes, the covers, spine and artwork would be destroyed. I prefer keeping real books to feeding the AI monster. #Books #Thackeray #AI #Bookbinding
