More scenes of last night's mass arrests in Moscow.
Those 18+ were given draft notices and began the coercion process to sign military contracts. Mass reports of beatings.
.@realDonaldTrump after years of a submissive, invertebrate and constitutionally illiterate Republican Congress, it’s obvious you need a few reminders:
1. Members of Congress have a constitutional right and duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. This is not a crime.
2. Democrats do not idly threaten people with impeachment nor do we take this constitutional power lightly. We impeach federal officials who commit high crimes and misdemeanors when we consider it the most effective constitutional tool to deal with a serious and continuing danger to the Republic and the people.
3. It is not a crime for someone to exercise their First Amendment rights to call for impeachment of a federal official. For all of your incessant and compulsive talk about the Democrats’ alleged obsessive focus on impeachment, the impeachment resolution pending in the House next week comes from a constitutionally-minded member of the Republican Party. And it is Rep. Thomas Massie’s absolute free speech right, and his Speech or Debate clause right to boot, to call for impeachment and trial of Secretary Pete Hegseth for his alleged war crimes and many other constitutional violations.
4. Unlike President Trump, Democrats defend the political free speech rights of all Americans and the right of all Americans to freely associate with the political party of their choice.
5. You have repeatedly demanded, and ordered, throughout your second term the criminal prosecution and imprisonment of American citizens whose political speech and activities you disfavor. You and your Attorney Generals have been humiliated when your handpicked political prosecutions have been rejected by grand juries and judges.
6. The best way for any president to avoid impeachment, conviction, removal and disqualification is to enforce the law, respect the law and not commit felonies and high crimes and misdemeanors.
Thank you for your attention, Sir!

I was puzzled by amount of obvious troll farm replies I was getting to this post until I remembered the Pentagon recently hired far right influencers & are clearly using part of an enormous budget for social media defense of Pete (drunk/sex pest) Hegseth. Which is f’n bonkers.

I see Hegseth’s trending, just a reminder that when he ran 2 Vets organizations he spent all their cash on lavish parties & bar tabs leaving organizations in debt before being forced out and became alcoholic, sexual predator Fox News host. This was BEFORE he was criminal Sec Def.

Holy smokes is right!
BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards...
Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state.
In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California.
Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times.
Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course.
The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more.
Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes).
10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50.
222 + 50 = 272.
And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact.
In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states.
States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election.
We can fix our democracy. The time is now.

The report details "mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein's criminal activities and DOJ's cover-up," as well as sex crimes involving Epstein and Trump -- five women who have accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in Epstein's company, according to the committee Democrats.

Breaking: Donald Trump was "an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to a report issued today by Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. The report includes one new rape allegation against Trump, and calls for a special investigation of the Trump administration's cover-up of Epstein's crimes.
Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.
As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.
In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.
In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.
We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.
