Holy shit! Lawrence O'Donnell is reporting on the absolute catastrophe, horror, and chaos caused by the devastating attack that destroyed the U.S. Naval base in Bahrain. Operating in total secrecy — like all fascist authoritarian tyrannies — the Trump regime has blocked war correspondents from entering the area to report on what truly happened and the terror that ensued. Until now, threats of retribution against U.S. service members by the administration have kept everyone silent. Despite their clear responsibility to safely evacuate families and children from the base, the regime failed miserably, leaving families and children still displaced. This shocking failure underscores the utter incompetence of Trump and Pete Hegseth, both of whom continue to blatantly lie to the American people about the unfolding war with Iran.

If Vivek Ramaswamy had even a shred of decency, he’d apologize for that vile attack ad, take it down, and admit he crossed the line. He won’t. Because cruelty isn’t a mistake for Vivek. It’s the strategy.

“This case ultimately asks where one branch’s authority ends and the public’s right to know begins — and who gets to draw that line,” writes @SCOTUSBios in today’s column about cases on SCOTUS’ docket. lawyerport.com/chicagolawbul…

Has the Republican Congress voted to condemn Trump's latest moves towards Putin? Oh, silly me. It's the Republican Congress.

An American president would tell Putin to fuck off. An American president would tell Putin to get the fuck out of Ukraine. An American president would stand with Ukraine. Trump however is not an American president. He works for Putin. So he’ll do what Putin tells him to do.👇

Dear America, We are either on the side of the innocent people who were invaded, killed, mutilated, raped and kidnapped and who are fighting back or... We are on the side of the killers, rapists and invaders. It's that simple. America must stay with #Ukraine #SlavaUkraïni
🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States: “Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it. But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people? I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.” Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

I spent a lot of time reading the pleadings & writing about a new lawsuit against Jared Kushner that raises serious questions about conflicts of interest, as well as the East Potomac Golf Course case that seems to be headed for a courtroom showdown on Monday. I hope you'll take a few minutes to read up: joycevance.substack.com/p/th…

US District Judge Ana C. Reyes hauled federal lawyers into an emergency Saturday hearing to ask why the East Potomac Golf Links removed approximately 430 trees, with another 299 still targeted for removal when she ordered an injunction through Tuesday. wapo.st/4yRqhol

We are all seeing this, right?
One of Putin's closest envoys sharing a meme of the USA and Russia attacking the UK and EU — 'Together'. Can we all see what is happening yet? 🤬

Why would Trump help Russia 2.5 weeks before a major US election? What is he getting in return?

Now we can say it definitively. Elon Musk donated $158M to SLF. SLF donated $158M to Texas PAC. SLF is Texas PAC's only donor. Elon Musk is singlehandedly funding Texas PAC, which is boosting Ken Paxton.

Wow
Huge drop in Google searches for various health disinformation topics following the Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers. It makes you wonder how much of the “turbo cancer, ivermectin” nonsense is really fueled by Russian bots, & how many Americans they’ve killed…

We have reached the portion of our show where the President of the United States is misusing law enforcement to threaten and intimidate a sitting Congresswoman simply because she will not bow down to him. Sound familiar? theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
