Don’t feel like there’s been enough discussion about @LeaderJohnThune being the most inept and weak Senate Majority leader in modern times. No meaningful legislative influence, weakened the Senate’s power, and couldn’t even protect his members in safe seats. A disastrous tenure.

I’m sorry, but it seems we don’t have nearly enough outrage — not only toward Russian aggression, but also toward the way Donald Trump excuses it through his rhetoric.
In his interview with, Trump stated:
“It was hatred between Zelenskyy and Putin. If I were president, this war would never have started.”
And when the journalist reminded him that Russia had invaded Ukraine, Trump started talking about supposed “great disrespect” toward Russia.
I’m fucking sorry, but who the hell is supposed to respect Putin, and for what?
A man whose policies embody so much of what I consider most destructive to humanity: authoritarianism, imperialism, racism, antisemitism, homophobia, the persecution of dissenters, violence, torture, and contempt for human life.
And these are not just my emotions.
Here is what international institutions have documented:
The abduction and unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children. The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin.
The torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war, including sexual violence and systematic ill-treatment.
The torture of Ukrainian civilians, including electric shocks, beatings, sexual violence, and mock executions.
The killing and abuse of children, including documented cases of extrajudicial executions, arbitrary detention, and torture.
The persecution of Ukrainians based on nationality and identity, including forced Russian citizenship and discrimination in occupied territories.
Repression against Russia’s own population, including political opponents, independent journalists, anti-war activists, and LGBTQ+ people.
Conflict-related sexual violence, extensively documented by UN investigators.
Attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure, destroying homes, energy supplies, and the basic conditions necessary for life.
Sources: International Criminal Court (ICC), UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU), UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine
And this is only a fraction of what has been documented.
What the fuck are we supposed to respect him for? What are we supposed to love him for?
What does this policy bring to humanity?
Joy? Happiness? Freedom? Security? The possibility of having children without fearing that they will be abducted, tortured, or killed?
Or does it bring fear, death, deportations, destroyed cities, devastated families, and generations of people forced to survive instead of being allowed to live?
And after all this, the President of the United States talks about “disrespect toward Russia”?
To me, Trump’s words demonstrate a dangerous leniency toward Putin. I see them as political rhetoric that normalizes the aggressor and shifts responsibility away from the one who launched the invasion and onto the one whose country is defending itself.
This is not normal.
And it must never become normal.
I do not want to live in a world where torture, the deportation of children, persecution based on people’s identities, and mass violence become subjects of diplomatic bargaining over who deserves how much respect.
The world exists for us to live in.
From birth. From our very first breath. From the very first second of human life.
To love, to discover, to create, to experience joy, to be free, to raise children, to dream, and to build a future.
Not to die because of the imperial ambitions, moral degradation, and cruelty of people who have decided they have the right to control other people’s lives.
And if we stop recognizing this as evil, if we learn to call it ordinary politics, if we begin demanding respect for those who commit such acts — then what will remain of our human values?
I do not want such a world. And I refuse to accept it as normal.
And today, Kyiv is facing complete traffic chaos. Roads are gridlocked because bridges have been damaged by Russian attacks.
Millions of Ukrainians living in Kyiv are forced to deal with the consequences of Putin’s war every single day.

❗️Ukraine's shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles could last at least another year, Bloomberg reports. European PAC-2 and PAC-3 stocks have fallen to minimal levels, and governments are reluctant to transfer remaining missiles without firm US commitments to replace them. A recently approved $2.1 billion US missile sale is unlikely to provide immediate relief. Germany is expected to produce 600 PAC-2 missiles for delivery to Ukraine in 2027-2028. #Ukraine

Funny how when militias are needed most to protect citizens from federal tyranny they are nowhere to be found instead they have taken the side of the oppressors

Preventing or obstructing an ambulance from responding to an emergency or accessing a hospital is illegal and can lead to criminal charges, such as obstruction of emergency services, disorderly conduct or interfering with public duties. Since DoJ or DHS will most likely not investigate or prosecute these federal agents, the state should step in.

Sadly, this type of action is now legal. Trump rescinded all protections for hospitals from immigration enforcement on January 20, 2025.
Immediately upon taking office, Trump signed an executive order titled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion.” Following this order, DHS officially rescinded the Biden-era "protected areas" policy and earlier ICE sensitive locations guidance.
Send an X post to your Congress representatives to make hospitals safe spaces again.

Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk.
An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger.
This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

Trump is afraid of the Oversight Committee once the D’s take over. He forgets who he’s dealing with. They’ve been collecting documents this entire ⏰ to use in any litigation.

Wow. We’ve been covering Trump for a decade and I’ve never seen this. Trump is reading from his notes during his 60 Minutes interview.
He needs a reminder that thousands died in Iraq? He looks lost and feeble. His mind is totally gone.

Heavy D unleashed!
🚨Governor DeSantis says fighting a regime-change war in Iran on behalf of Israel was an absolute MISTAKE.
Says Iran is now more emboldened than ever.
Calls out Rubio, Vance and Hegseth for sending conflicting messages about the actual objective.
“Israel went and took out the Ayatollah. They took out clerics. There were U.S. strikes, obvious. And I think the goal was that the regime's going to collapse, and then something new would take its place. Now, the problem with that is that all the people that had been protesting in January were all dead by the time they did it in late February. And so that was done.
That was a decapitation strike. That's like the point of no return, right? I mean, once you do that, it's like, how do you bring it to a successful conclusion? You just have a site you need to take care of. You did that in 2025. So then it kind of was like, okay, what's the thing? Did we win? Did we not? And then they responded, and they responded in ways that have caused problems economically.
So what's the definition of victory at this point with that? January or June of 2025, you say, hey, we have these two problematic sites. We're going to take them out. We did that, and that was successful. This time, I think the goal, certainly from Israel, was that you'd have a regime change in Iran. Now, that's not something that we're going to be able to impose.
That would require massive amounts of boots on the ground, massive amounts of treasure that the American people are not interested in providing. And so that's why I think the second time has caused more problems in terms of public acceptance and all these other things.
I would love for Iran to have a pro-Western constitutional republic as their government, because the Persian culture has been very rich for centuries. The Islamic revolution really just snuffed that out, and it's been a terror state since then. I would love for that to happen. I don't think that us imposing it is something that would ultimately be successful.
But once the Ayatollah is taken out, once these clerics, I think their goal was to have the government collapse, and that didn't happen. So now the people that are there probably are more powerful than they were prior to this. And what incentive do they have to do some type of deal? I hear like, oh, just negotiate a deal. Wait a minute. You took out the supreme leader. They view us as the great Satan.
So my fear is that it's going to kind of drag on and kind of continue to be a sore spot given the trajectory it's gone. And I think that the midnight hammer in 25 was effective. I think this time has been, you got to know, what are you trying to accomplish? What's the concrete objective? Are you going to do it? And then you should be able to say, we accomplished the objective.
There was never really a concrete, Hegseth said one thing, Secretary of State said another, Vice President, they all said a little bit different when this was launched. And that's, I think, been part of the problem.”
