Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

Mitt Romney stated that "a very large portion of my party really doesn't believe in the Constitution."

So there's that...

All while he's pushing for more deregulation and for QE to begin so the money printer will pump the markets. They want the boom and bust because they can manipulate the timing and direction.

This feels like a slippery-antifa-slope. Make it normal that the gov't just kills people in some group that was deemed a DTO, and then play out the antifa sham to call it a DTO. Now they're killing anyone they say was in a made up group.

Seems to stupid and obvious, yet sort of their wheel-house.

The President is announcing more extrajudicial killings today.

A reminder that the administration has provided no limiting principles and these killings are completely untethered from the law (there was no "armed attack," there's no "armed conflict," and these aren't "unlawful combatants").

POTUS should be one of the best of us, not some know-nothing who blurts out reckless nonsense like “attack Spain.” Ain’t no Spanish-American War in 2025! “Go through other countries?” GET THE SHARPIE!!! Why would Mr. Nobel say something so unhinged unless he’s mad, grifting, or just plain stupid?

Trump on Spain: "It wouldn't matter if you said you're not gonna protect them, because they are pretty much protected. What are you gonna do -- go through the other countries and let's go attack Spain, right? ... I was thinking about giving them trade punishment through tariffs. I may do that."

Agreed. Think I just went from neutral to Piastri turbo stan.

May the young Aussie channel his inner mellow and prevail.

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

MAGA should honor Charlie Kirk today by playing clips of his speeches, his show, and reading his tweets.

Especially the ones about Black people, women, immigrants, MLK, Muslims, gun violence, George Floyd and LGBTQ+ people.

Our media is broken and continues to be complicit in the fall of the Democracy as "freedom of the press" is being threatened.

It's simple really, just report on what he said. He was a podcaster creating content, report on the content he created as there are headline worthy examples all over.

TVMoJoe @tvmojoe.bsky.social · 24d

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

How do we know Trump didn’t order Kirk’s assassination as a distraction from Epstein — and a tactic to start the civil unrest he needs to declare Martial Law and delay the 2026 midterms?

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Please allow me to toss in an unsolicited recommendation. I have just recently been giving the Duckduckgo browser an audition and after three weeks I highly recommend giving it a try.

Today hurts. It was a difficult weekend all along, and it ended in the worst way. In terms of pace, we were quite strong, which was a positive turn of events, and it was good to gain some positions.

NEW:

“I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.”

Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

We live in a world where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for every animal don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”
