Gee, so here's a thought: maybe if he played less golf he'd have a clue as to what's going on. Oh, sorry, that would mean he'd even have more than one brain cell to process what's going on.

The good part about Sweden is that nobody hates Russia like Swedes (and obviously Ukrainians).

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.

If you put your ear against the Capitol, you can hear the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

Trump and his motorcade leaving his Palm Beach golf club. These leisurely golf outings cost taxpayers millions.

Why don’t Republican cut these trips instead of gutting healthcare?

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

I would say this is extremely likely. It's a well-known fact that Israel is a haven for pedophiles. We saw this recently with Tom Artiom Alexandrovich being caught for trying to have sex with a minor only to be released to Israel but it's been going on for decades.

How Jewish American pedophiles hide from justice in Israel

One woman who helps track suspects down says the little-discussed problem is widespread; "the exact same thing" as the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church.

Find you a US Senator who shows up to your small town of 2,500 people's events like @jeff-merkley.bsky.social does.

He could have been a prominent speaker at the PDX event, but he chose to support his rural constituents. #OrPol

This is why we're re-electing him next year, btw actually.
