Michael Clarke: Even if Ukraine were corrupt, even if it had all sorts of things wrong with it as a state, we should still support it because it was attacked out of the blue by its neighbour. Ukraine is still victim of mindless imperialist aggression, which threatens rest of us. So whatever sort of state Ukraine is, it deserves our support.

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections. What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.

@unjected God made our brains we have vaccines because we’re smart

God made you perfect. Vaccines destroy that perfection.

@Annie_Wu_22 Hope it isn’t going to be his next hat

with a raccoon.

We are paying. This incompetent fool has completely failed to find a strategy to win a war we had no need to start. American taxpayers are paying for the incompetence and our service members are paying with their lives.

Trump attempting to open the Strait of Hormuz

Literally everything he does is done shoddily, without thought or planning, for performative reasons or simple self-aggrandisement. Our republic is the casualty. nytimes.com/2026/07/09/us/…

this is a perfect example of the political double standard that republicans benefit from: Democrats have never denied disaster aid for red states, and it would be a massive scandal if they did … but Trump does it and it’s barely a story because he does corrupt stuff every day

"Now, the World Cup feels like, well, the world that we are living in today, where corrupt and powerful people get to make opaque deals over the heads of the people" benrhodes1.substack.com/p/when-trump-p…

@SundaeDivine @Pontifex Any prayer can be answered

@Pontifex Backatcha, Pope Leo. How about a follow-back for a Catholic girl?

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

wait. holy shit

@JamesSurowiecki Just like an eo couldn’t override the constitution but here we are

Congress has no power to override the 14th Amendment, so this law would be unconstitutional.

@RepMGriffith I can’t imagine that you need this or that you will ever shoot a weapon that has killed so many innocent people.

I am fighting in DC against radical anti-gun actions. SCOTUS helped deliver a pro-2nd Amendment ruling last week, and they may be called again later to review Virginia’s unconstitutional gun grab. I did buy my AR before the July 1 ban in Christiansburg.

He wasn’t found liable for allegedly assaulting her, he was found liable for actually assaulting her.

The most embarassing part of watching Americans watch the World Cup is the racism. How can you possibly be shocked that Black people exist in countries outside of Africa and the USA???? You know that France is right across the sea from Algeria, right? And that Africa is 90 miles from Italy? And only 10 miles from Spain? And that people have been migrating all across the Mediterranean for thousands of years, right????

@ElizLanders Oh snap, he dumping Putin

President Trump when asked in the Oval Office about Ukrainian President Zelensky: "He's doing pretty well... he's holding his own... he's courageous, he's got great equipment" and says Zelensky also has great fighters.

Who should you believe? The world’s richest man and a white nationalist YouTuber who —with no qualifications— became the MAGA government expert, who ordered the gutting of USAID, causing all the death… or The Lancet, Harvard’s School of public health, Propublica, PBS, BBC, other news orgs on the ground and your own eyes?

Donald Trump will go down in history as the only US President to be outwitted by a single-celled organism.

Over the weekend, Trump started flying on the Flying Bribery Palace that Qatar gave him. Today, Trump cleared the way for Iran to make $10B in oil sales, PRECISELY what he claimed was betrayal if Obama did that after they actually complied with a deal. The far right really needs to consider what it means that Trump accepts bribes.
