Speaking at a defence ministry meeting in Moscow, President Putin called European leaders ‘piglets’ trying to take revenge on Russia, accusing them of joining forces with the previous US administration in the hope of profiting from Russia’s collapse.

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits.

So let’s get even louder:

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.

The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.
The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

"Trump rarely faces direct consequences for his shameful rhetoric. That’s because in the past Republicans have largely refused to abandon him no matter what he says or does. But there are signs that's now changing."

Likewise, Donald Trump has never been a good businessman. losing more of his father's great wealth than he made.

What Trump is, is a mediocre crook that has been extremely lucky in finding so many gullible people to scam and wealthy crooks to align himself with.

He and the MAGA congress must go.
