Brief Trump summary of the past weeks: - “Open the strait” - “Help us open the strait” - “We don’t need the strait open” - “Open the f’king strait or I destroy you all” - “We block the strait”

Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam on Israel: "I swear to god there's some people out there just ready to kill and go across borders and take over land that doesn't belong to them, and they should get the fuck out. We don't want to give them our taxes to drop bombs on children. No more!"

I know, many people just don't believe this. in fact, in some professions it was even more exclusive: an elder got on a phone, made a few calls, & his candidates (younger white men, protégées of his or his friends) were offered a job, without an interview. do you seriously think that, however educated & qualified, women & persons of color from outside this network had a chance? maybe literally 1 in 1,000. when I was an undergraduate, virtually no women were on university faculties anywhere except women's colleges; I did not have a single woman professor until graduate school & then just one, famed Helen White, eminent in her field. now, things are much different, but the pull is back toward the old white-boy network again, with T***p's special brand of DEI rewarding MAGA loyalists.

🚨 Hypocrisy alert: Ron DeSantis was literally in Congress (2017-2018) when Matt Gaetz was flashing nude pics & videos of his conquests to colleagues — even on the House floor. Zero words from Ron then. But now he’s attacking Eric Swalwell? Spare us the lectures, Guv . Your selective outrage is showing. 😏

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

BREAKING: In defiance of Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, voters in Hungary today will vote against Orban’s authoritarianism. Today’s the day Orban’s reign ends. This is being almost entirely ignored by mainstream media. Let’s make it go viral.

BREAKING: Trump announces plan to allow corporations to dump coal ash – which is TWICE as radioactive as *nuclear fuel* – into our drinking water! Yes, you read that right. Trump’s EPA is proposing to weaken rules for the safe disposal of super-mega-toxic ash produced by burning coal that contains hazardous heavy metals and contaminates groundwater. “The Trump administration proposed easing standards for monitoring and protecting groundwater near some coal ash sites, and rolling back rules that require the cleanup of entire coal properties rather than just the sites where ash was dumped. The revisions would also make it easier to reuse coal ash for other purposes,” reports the Associated Press. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the proposal reflects the agency’s “commitment to restoring American energy dominance, strengthening cooperative federalism, and accommodating unique circumstances at certain (coal) facilities.” The rules were strengthened by – you guessed it – the Biden administration a few years ago, and now Trump is trying to gut them on behalf of his cronies in Big Coal. It is shocking to see just how eagerly the Trump administration is gutting all the regulations that keep us safe. “The Trump administration just took a sledgehammer to the health protections in place for toxic coal pollution,” said Lisa Evans, senior counsel at environmental group Earthjustice. “This is yet another handout to the coal power industry at the expense of our health, water, and wallets.” He is more than willing to make us drink poison and develop terrible cancers, all so his donors can save a little bit of money on cleaning up the toxic byproducts of their carbon pollution. There is nothing sacred to these nihilistic scumbags, no respect for anything but their own bottom lines. Trump is willing to burn everything to the ground just so he can be king of the ashes – with not a care in the world for the millions of people who will suffer and die because of his decisions.

The brave Hungarian freedom fighters of 1956 were brutally crushed by the Soviet Union. But their Revolution was the "first tear in the Iron Curtain." May the people of Hungary succeed, 70 years later, in defeating those seeking to impose a new iron curtain on the free world.

The problem with an appointed attorney general such as James Uthmeier is that the “people’s lawyer” doesn’t feel any obligation to answer to the people. Uthmeier comes from quite a disturbing Florida AG lineage .. Bondi, Moody who also used their office for personal political aggrandizement rather than serving The People mrf.lu/bg0K

This is what it looks like when you sell your soul for ambition as the realization sets in that you boarded a sinking ship that is taking you down with it.

A message from NASA astronaut Christina Koch who has now arrived safely back to Earth: "To everyone who has been following my journey, I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support — it truly means everything. Being part of the Artemis II mission is not just a personal milestone, but a step forward for all of us who believe in exploration and possibility. To the young women and aspiring explorers out there: never doubt what you’re capable of. Your dreams are valid, your voice matters, and your place in science, engineering, and space is absolutely yours to claim. I hope my journey reminds you that no goal is too far, and no dream is out of reach when you commit to it. And to everyone inspired or interested in this path — stay curious, stay driven, and don’t be afraid to take that first step. I’m always grateful to connect with people who share the same passion, so feel free to reach out and be part of this journey with us."

NASA astronaut, U.S. Navy Captain, father, former F/A-18 pilot and SpaceX Crew-1 pilot Victor Glover on becoming the first Black man to go to the Moon 🚀 gets hit with a DEI question and flips it into something bigger than race

Election fraud by Orban's party.

13 US servicemembers have been killed in a war this man started, thousands more have died in the region, a tense ceasefire …and he’s hanging out at a UFC fight with his secretary of state who should be negotiating for peace right now. Appalling.

WE. REACHED. A. FUCKING. AGREEMENT. WITH. THEM. IN. 2015. THAT. IMPOSED. STRICT. LIMITS. ON. URANIUM. ENRICHMENT. UNTIL. 2040. It was called the JCPOA. And Trump TORE IT UP IN 2018 out of spite for @BarackObama 8 years later, here we are. Total. Disaster.

So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

Trump said there is no money for anything except for war. Then he offered to bail out Hungary's economy. See how dumb you MAGAs are?

Wartime presidential footing: Friday - $1 million per person fundraiser at your winery Saturday - golf Saturday night - UFC fights in Miami Sunday - more golf Don't let those 55,000 troops overseas, and the two navy ships you sent through the mine-filled strait today, distract you from having a good time.

it does seem as if a foreign adversary has taken over the US & in plain view is dismantling its programs, institutions, missions & ideals. the most acute observers among younger generations must be looking upon this with dismay, despair, outrage--their US will be tragically diminished compared to the US most of us grew up in. it's hard to believe that much of US science research is being terminated -- the country used to be so proud of its great scientists. not to mention medical research.

Wait ….There’s more ! ✅Fighting Crime, not Communities Whether you’re a native born Floridian, an immigrant to our state, or a Tallahassee politician, if you break the law in Florida you’ll be held accountable. But Florida can also be a state that corrects disparities in criminal justice for communities of color and immigrant communities, promoting local control of community policing. It’s time Florida fights crime, not communities. ✅Delivering affordable healthcare to Floridians Medicaid is a critical program for Florida. It supports childbirth care for women and infants, long-term care for seniors, care for those with special needs and unique abilities, and is a critical funding source for hospitals across the state. In the face of cuts from Washington and Tallahassee, Florida should commit to expanding Medicaid and ensuring healthcare for all Floridians. ✅Treating Everyone with Kindness, Dignity and Respect Culture wars divide and demonize. Florida should reject the politics of division and hate, and instead create a home where everyone is valued, respected, and welcomed. We should become a place where everyone is given dignity and equity, regardless of race, creed, or color, and regardless of who you love or the God you worship. Florida should embrace our immigrant community and celebrate their contributions to our state’s culture and economy. It’s time to create a Florida for all people.
