@anandwrites.bsky.social, I heard your episode with @preetbharara.bsky.social. YOU'RE taking a "scoldy tone" with liberals. Positing solutions while optimistic is why we all got behind Obama. Saying Liberals are "too negative" as we beat back a tsunami of negativity and Hate is the wrong take

@coons.senate.gov must be an idiot. Not a single action by Congress has been taken because of how the voter feels. They last expressed themselves in Nov, '24...and we got what we got. How about Dems not cave!?

Dems must stop telling Americans 'what to feel and believe' share.google/QPCDtB9Osb7E...

Fine words, Meloni. Now get back to work and secure the EU funding of Ukraine, using the frozen Russian assets.

It’s about securing the future of Italy & Europe. Don’t stand in the way.
🇮🇹 Meloni: "Italy considers it a sacred principle that it is Russia that should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine, but this must be done on solid legal basis. Any instrument of support for Kyiv must always comply with our values ​​and rules on which the rule of law is based."

I'm not politically polarized. I'm a pretty decent human being who doesn't want to live among fascist, racist, misogynistic assholes.

I'm only 5:43 into the #F1 movie, and I'm already sick and tired of the racing movie trope dummbery We only get the PA announcers play by play when Brad Pitt gets into his car? The entire play-by-play is all about Brad pitt? Fireworks in the middle of the night?

It is very hard to embrace other cultures when they continue to demonstrate such bigoted state-endorsed behavior. BTW, I'm talking about Egypt and Iran, but you'd be forgiven if you thought I meant the U.S. #soccer #sportsbiz #FIFA #LGBTQ+

ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

#Tennessee house race shows the #GOP doesn't give a sh!t about competence or law or ethics or dignity. They haven't since WWII.

All you have to look at is #Trump's first Administration record on #Darfur and #Sudan and see he's still sides with the wrong people, and anything he does that might be seen as positive as a simple continuation of Obama policies - some have questioned whether those were really good even

We wanted to understand the legality of killing Venezuelan boaters without a trial or charges. So we talked to three unvaccinated Kid Rock fans at a Buc-ee’s in Amarillo.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.
