OSSOFF: If you’re late with your rent, the machinery of late fees and eviction is very efficient. But when you tell your landlord about the black mold in your daughter’s bedroom, nobody comes for four months. And then, when you’ve got to take her to the hospital for her asthma attack, you get a $3,000 bill for the ambulance. Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid. It costs more today than ever before in American history to fill up your truck, to stock your fridge, to power your home, to go to the doctor. Meanwhile, and you’ve seen it, the president and the first family line their pockets to the tune of billions of dollars. The time has come to wield the power granted to us by our Constitution and rebuke this obscenity.

El-Sayed: In my Neurology unit, I would have to give that MOCA exam, that cognitive test he's so proud of… The only people you give that test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you’re taking one of those tests, something is wrong.  And you know the doctor who gave it to him was like, I just want to see how smart you are, sir. And he's like, me too. He brags about having taken it. He's like I remembered the rhinoceros. You're like Habibi, everybody remember the rhinoceros. And the funny thing about it is, you know, he's taken it multiple times. So he's not even bragging about the first time he took it. He's like, I took it the 1st time and then I took it the 2nd time. So with Donald Trump, you can't blame him for this, he's just dumb. But for Mike Rogers, can you imagine how small of a human being you have to be to know that he has real deficits and to just nod your head approvingly at the most ridiculous shit that the man proposes?

I’m thinking, perhaps you CAN allow the orange clown to run for a third term, but ONLY if his opponent is @barack? #BringBackBarack
It's time for a change. Vote for leaders like @AbdulElSayed and @JocelynBenson who will work every day to make this country better.

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS: The Pope has now successfully negotiated a ceasefire for the Ukrainian city of Oleshky, whose people Russia has attempted to commit genocide against. Thank you, Pope Leo! 🥹🙏

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

Goodness, Barack on burningly brilliant form
Obama on Pete Hegseth: You've got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops. How much time do you think this Defense Secretary spends looking at himself in the mirror in the morning?

⚡️ The Pope held a telephone conversation with Putin, during which he expressed concern about the humanitarian situation in Olesky and called for a ceasefire, according to a statement from the Vatican.

Western media is running nonstop with this BS story instead of doing its job properly 🤦‍♀️ Here is what those headlines omit: - Oleshky is occupied UKR territory where Russia DELIBERATELY ‼️created this humanitarian catastrophe. - Approx 2,000 residents remain w/t adequate food, medicine, electricity, heating or running water. The roads are mined and 90% of Oleshky was flooded after Russia destroyed the Kakhovka Dam. - Melania Trump DID NOT single-handedly “secure a ceasefire.” This was a lengthy process involving UKR officials, @Pontifex and many others. - More importantly ‼️Russia, as the occupying power, already has a LEGAL OBLIGATION to protect civilians and provide essential supplies while doing precisely the opposite - the supposedly “impartial American media org” invited to document the operation is reportedly @NEWSMAX Calling Newsmax impartial is another piece of WH BS Yet @CNN and others’ headlines turn Russia’s grudging agreement to comply temporarily with its most basic humanitarian obligations into a Trump-family diplomatic triumph. Why ? Sometimes I think CNN is simply trying to catch up with Fox News.

Pickled.
Florida GOP Chairman Evan Power stumbles onto the stage drunk as a skunk and makes jokes about Angie Nixon while slurring his words all over the place. This guy is never in public without being intoxicated.

That particular moment when George Yeo, Singapore’s former foreign minister, demonstrated a remarkably deep understanding of European history and the complex conflicts that have shaped the continent,an understanding that seems to elude many Western politicians. It is genuinely rare to hear a senior statesman speak with such historical depth, intellectual clarity, and geopolitical insight.....
