Former President Barack Obama on Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"He was talking about everyone who was left out, everyone who was forgotten, everyone who was unseen, everyone who was unheard, and in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be."

Preach!

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)

Bill Maher once implied Trump was the byproduct of his mom’s sexual relations with an orangutan at the Brooklyn zoo.

Trump sued Maher over this video. This is why Trump hates Bill Maher so much.

"regain its image as a fun place to shop for stylish clothing, housewares, beauty products and packaged food at affordable prices" lmao is this sponcon?

the journalism way to write that would have been "improve its image after destroying its brand by pandering to Donald Trump."

Adolf Hitler attacked Czechoslavakia without declaring war
Hitler invaded Austria without declaring war.
Hitler invaded Poland and France and the USSR without warning.
Donald Trump invaded Venezuela without warning, he attacked Iran without warning.

Trump has fully shattered the world we all grew up in. It’s a dramatic break from how things worked before, even compared to the Iraq War and other misadventures - the United States abruptly tumbling over a cliff and becoming literally more reckless and domineering than Putin’s Russia.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

All trump saw when he started the war was a chance to use the largest, most powerful military in the history of the world to destroy an "enemy" he was convinced by sycophants was weak.

trump has started WW3 and has no idea what he has done . . .
