Donald Trump‘s diplomatic skills are mostly nonexistent or FUBAR at best. Zelensky gets attacked and trashed in the oval office in front of the entire press corps and Putin gets a red carpet and a symbolic blow job. WTF.

Health Secretary of the United States claiming that the polio vaccine killed more people than it saved. You'll be pleased to know that this is not true

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood. He's turning the homes into a compound. That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe. I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

I miss normal.

10. In a civilized nation like Japan, it is not uncommon during a rainstorm for wild animals to seek refuge alongside humans, sharing the same shelter in harmonious coexistence....💕

"There is no more important struggle for American democracy than ensuring a diverse, independent and free media. Free Press is at the heart of that struggle." -Bill Moyers

Modest proposal: If Dems retake Congress, they must launch the most sweeping damage assessment of the rule of law in American history. Not piecemeal hearings. Not symbolic subpoenas. But a full-scale investigation into how Trump & team broke laws.

This should be the largest and most serious congressional investigation ever conducted — bigger than Watergate, broader than Iran-Contra, and more thorough than any inquiry into executive overreach ever before. More on this concept here: treason.io/p/read-blizzar…

European leaders to back Zelenskyy in Washington as Trump presses Ukraine deal? He is? What happened Friday? apple.news/A8UV0ColHT8eSV…

1/2. The phrase "land swap" is being used to mean "Ukraine concedes land illegally occupied by Russia and also concedes territory that is not even occupied." That is not a swap.

2/2. Everyone using the phrase "land swap" should please specify which Russian territory Ukraine would be getting. So far it’s a euphemism for forcing Ukraine to give things up to Russia.

Nothing says ‘land of the free’ like a president calling out the military on his own people

The The Washington Post tracked where Trump's forces are patrolling in Washington. Spoiler alert: They're not where the crime is.

Pope Leo XIV spent the last Sunday of his summer vacation with refugees, homeless and poor people and the church volunteers who help them, inviting them into the Vatican’s lakeside estate for a lunch of lasagna and roast veal. wgntv.com/news/pope-leo/…

When you tell me the guy who hit a fed with a Subway sandwich deserves prison, but the January 6ers who beat, hospitalized and killed cops deserve a pardon, no one takes your dumb cult ass seriously.

This is the test for Democrats. Will they acknowledge the threat and respond accordingly? Or will they try to continue the delusion the Republican Party is not a corrupt extremist movement. Miles Taylor is absolutely right.

Trump: Ukraine can end the war, they just have to give up, hand over their sovereignty, and abandon any hope of defending themselves or joining NATO. That’s not a “peace plan.” It’s SURRENDER. You are a BOTTOMLESS CESSPIT of cowardice, treachery, and disgrace, Donald J. Trump.
