No lies detected.

GOP Members of Congress only care about satisfying the leader of the regime.
You are inconsequential to them.

Kamala Harris on her book tour reminds people why she resonates—sharp, grounded, and unapologetic. I hope she runs as her full self, unmasked and fierce, not filtered to fit expectations but leading as the bold, brilliant woman she’s always been. #Pinks video by @donlemonofficial.bsky.social

"He has 100s of 1000s of Arabs' blood on his hands. Tony Blair should be heading to The Hague, not to Gaza."

What I told Piers Morgan on his show this week, about the ludicrous and colonial plan to have Blair help Trump run Gaza.

When Trump & R's have done nothing to brag about, they fall back on the only tools in their toolkit: fear mongering, lying, fanning the flames of racism, finger pointing, spewing conspiracies, playing the victim, and lying about Joe Biden.

Our press has long struggled for independence. The closest we have is CSPAN and PBS/NPR, but the latter is seriously threatened right now.

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue Remember when Elon Musk posted on twitter that Donold Trump is all over the Epstein files which is why they haven’t been released yet, and Donold never released them to prove him wrong? Weird how “AG” Bondi says they don’t exist anymore…🤔

Trump’s $5 million ‘gold card’ visa might never happen

The president and his aides have exaggerated the likelihood that the program can be implemented and have made no effort to introduce legislation that would be needed.

Rumors hit last night there would be an ICE raid in MacArthur Park in LA. It didn’t turn out quite as ICE hoped except for the photo op.
@melbuer.bsky.social covered the arrival of military vehicles & horses carrying fully protected ICE riders. Follow his 🧵 to see who blinked.

The Narrative War Has Begun 🔥

1/8
The bill has passed. But that’s not the end of the battle, it’s the beginning of the narrative war.
The GOP isn’t just gutting Medicaid and slashing aid.
They’re flooding the zone with propaganda to sell it as a victory.
We need to be ready to fight back. 🧵

He is chipping away at our dignity. THIS is what he has planned for the 250th Anniversary of the founding of our country. He’s reduced the celebration to a reality show/Wrestlemania event.

Thank you Josh Babarinde, @libdems. As an adult survivor of childhood abuse I can’t thank you enough for taking this on and for your personal bravery in sharing. We survivors will always live with the damage- I have CPTSD symptoms-but maybe we can mitigate it for others. 💛❤️‍🩹 So proud of you!
