Russians continue their human safari in Kherson. They hunt people with drones. Kherson is being used as a training ground for killing civilians.
Right now, civilians in the city (women, children, and pensioners) are being hunted, killed, and it's being filmed by Russians - all with impunity.

Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion
In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

Trump just said Republicans should “take over the voting and nationalize it.” That’s authoritarianism, full stop. The silence from elected Republicans is cowardice—and it’s dangerous heading into November.

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

Somebody again-what is ICE and the Border Patrol's mission?
The whole matter or chasing dangerous illegal immigrants is just a smoke screen for training, dispatching, and disbursing a quasi legal militia army across the breadth and width of the nation that answers a man, and not the Constitution.

America does not want us to fund a lawless out of control ICE.
- No more roving patrols or profiling. ICE/CBP are not trained to do this. And it's wrong. Require warrants.
- No more secret police. Take off the masks. Show ID.
- And real accountability for murder and assault.

As usual, spokesmen for the Trump Admin ignore the truth to spin the story their way with lies both large and small. We've gotten so used to the BS that fact-checking them has become tedious and tiresome, but take the time to really question their constant propaganda, and you find it full of holes.
To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."
In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

We really need to investigate our political candidates and politicians more thoroughly. We need a much better grade of person in these positions. Ethics, education, intelligence, wisdom - they can be hard to measure but please, no more clowns. No more beauty contest. Term limits.
The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Trump is threatening wars with NATO and Venezuela for the same reason he’s at war with the American people: fascism must always be on the march.
Authoritarians are good at offense, but bad at defense. The only strategy for combating the Epstein crisis is literally going to war.
