@DanielMillerEsq Radical hope is called for in these dark times. We acknowledge our anger, sadness, and fear, but refuse despair, channeling our pain into resistance and working for a better future--even in the face of extreme uncertainty--for ourselves and for the sake of our children.

@jgindel @jawja100 Question: why are we the people letting 1 person systematically destroy our nation right before our eyes?

Back to Epstein. In court I heard testimony of a young woman who was a virgin. Maxwell recruited and groomed her. Epstein took her virginity on the floor of the mansion. She looked up and saw the pictures of the famous people on the walls. And oh yes, Maxwell told her she had to tell him what a great lover he was afterwards. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN TAPES

This is the biggest market manipulation in history Someone should go to jail for this

Tomorrow we will hear Trump’s claims about what’s in the deal which will not match up with what is actually in the deal. Then he will continue to lie worse as we learn there really isn’t a firm deal. Then we will do it all over again like so many times before with so many things.

We should work toward nuclear disarmament in the entire world, but it should start with disarming the two nations that pose the most serious threat to global peace: Israel and the United States.

🚨BREAKING: AOC declares: “Unlike Trump, I don’t care if someone likes me or not. I’m going to fight for MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.”

🇮🇷 Make this Viral. Media won't show you this. Rabbi Younes Hammami Lalezar, leader of Iran's Jewish community, stands before the ruins of a synagogue in central Tehran destroyed by Israeli bombing. Jews practice Judaism, run schools and synagogues, and even have a seat in parliament.

Iran is declaring victory after Trump agreed to ceasefire, saying the U.S. adopted its terms—and it's hard to see it any other way. Iran’s leadership is openly celebrating what it calls a “crushing defeat” for the United States after Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire and acknowledged using Iran’s own 10-point framework as the basis for negotiations. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says the U.S. has effectively accepted its core demands—including continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of uranium enrichment, lifting sanctions, and even discussions of compensation and U.S. troop withdrawal. Essentially, Trump has, for now, given Iran everything they asked for. Iran’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the same framework, stating safe passage through the Strait will now be coordinated under Iranian control during the ceasefire period. So looking at statements from the U.S. and Iran, it seems clear Trump didn’t bring Iran to the table on U.S. terms—he appears to have moved negotiations onto Iran’s terms. After days of escalating rhetoric, including Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight," Trump has now reversed course and is embracing the very proposal Iran put forward that a U.S. official called "maximalist" just yesterday. For now, the world should breathe a sigh of relief Trump has backed down, though it feels that this was less of a "TACO"—and more of a surrender.

Massive geopolitical shift. Al Jazeera confirms regional powers like Qatar, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are completely bypassing Washington to mediate peace with Iran. The Middle East realizes the US is only bringing destruction and is taking matters into their own hands.

For what possible reason is Congress not in session having this debate in front of the American people?!?  So @SpeakerJohnson could get another paid vacation? If you feel so strongly your plan to commit war crimes is popular, come vote for it.

Even making children anywhere in the world *fear* that they might be suddenly destroyed is an atrocious crime against humanity.

Short story on Russia. My parents went there in 1988. Stayed at brand new tourist hotel. Mom left shower cap home. Asks dad if he packed one. Nope Next day, cleaning lady brings one to the room and hands it to my mom. No words. Cleans. Of course they have Kompromat on Trump

Pete Hegseth, was expelled from the DC National Guard for being a Nazi, paid to silence a woman who accused him of sexual abuse, has issues with drugs and alcohol, was unfaithful to his wife and had a daughter with his mistress, and even his mother accused him of being an abuser.

I spent all day today wondering if the sitting President of the United States would use nuclear weapons on a country of 90 million people—the vast majority of whom he claims to be liberating—just because he’s angry over that totalitarian regime thoroughly embarrassing him over his unnecessary, illegal, and disastrous war of choice. Just as our country was waking up to go to our jobs and take our kids to school and run errands and do all the typical things that need to be done on a Tuesday morning, Trump dangled this threat: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” He threatened nuclear strikes because he isn’t getting his way in a war that never should have been escalated in the first place. I spent all day talking to colleagues and friends about what this could mean and wondering what needs to be done to put a stop to this because—surprise—we take it seriously when a deeply unstable person with the power to launch nuclear weapons claims he will do so. I wondered why so many people in politics and media are apparently unaware that POTUS has sole authority over the launch of nuclear weapons and does not need clearance from Congress or the courts—even for a preemptive strike—and the only thing standing between Trump and that decision are his military commanders maybe, hopefully—who the hell is certain anymore—refusing that order. I watched as too many journalists—so fearful are they of offending their Access Daddy and his acolytes—pretended that this threat reflective of a brain-addled, narcissistic sociopath was another political parlor game to be navigated with musings on what Democrats should be doing while Republicans are running the whole goddamn show. I watched as yet more journalists chirped about their bullshit phone calls with Trump, which were, per usual, entirely neutered of meaningful substance. I watched as so much of the left side of the American political spectrum bickered and bitched with each other and were at each other’s throats over what should be done while we’re out of power, just as Trump was betting and hoping we would. I wondered if tonight would be the beginning of a broader war with nuclear weapons that would throw the world into violent chaos from which we’d never recover. You ask me if I’m relieved over this supposed “two-week ceasefire” as Trump yet again postpones his ultimatums, manipulates markets to enrich himself and his cronies, and needlessly scares the shit out of the American people and the world? No, I am not relieved. I am angry. I am enraged. The thoughts going through my head at this very moment cannot be uttered. This is not sustainable. We should not have to live in perpetual fear like this. ---- Link to full essay available here for easier sharing: charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/we-cant-keep…

ICE Goons should be arrested at the Canadian border if they try to enter. Many of them are Proud Boys who are on the domestic terrorist list and banned from Canada.

$4 trillion economy. 4th largest in the world. 40% of U.S. market growth with under 12% of the population. Nearly 67% of all U.S. venture capital. Lost in all the noise is how much California is outperforming, not just across states, but across the globe. Our secret sauce? Our diversity. That’s California.

HUMILIATING: Kristi Noem's husband recently PROPOSED marriage to a model he paid to inflate her chest beyond a 38N size, saying, "You're the one that I love." This is not gossip. This is risk at the highest levels of government, enabled by incompetence and ignored oversight. ICE Barbie Kristi Noem is now facing a deeply personal and politically dangerous scandal after new revelations show here husband Bryon are much wilder than originally thought. He was still sending THOUSANDS of dollars to a 47 year old "bimbofication" model as recently as last month, just DAYS after Kristi was fired. Nicole Raccagno, known as PlasticBarbie2000, says Bryon paid her tens of thousands over years, covering rent, gifts, and cosmetic procedures. She backed it up with screenshots, transfers, and messages tied to his business account, shown to the Daily Beast. He said it plainly in one text: I f-----g want to pay it. Because you’re the one that I love. I would love to marry you. Raccagno says the arrangement included $1,500 a month for videos, plus extras for Botox, fillers, and even a $2,000 breast enhancement. He bought her luxury items, including a $4,000 Louis Vuitton bag and a Nintendo Switch. The relationship reportedly began in 2020 and continued while Noem stood beside his wife in Washington, even during congressional scrutiny over her own controversies. It continued to just weeks ago. Now national security experts are raising alarms, warning this kind of secret life creates clear vulnerability to blackmail by foreign actors. I have ZERO sympathy for Kristi Noem. None.
