obviously but true

My wife had me listen to the Pod Save America episode with Ken Martin as the guest. I have two takeaways fifteen minutes in: 1) if you took a shot every time Ken Martin says “lessons” you’re always dead 2) you don’t get better by watching highlights, you get better by watching the entire game film

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

🚨 This is from FBI interview #2 by the FBI of the woman who was 13-15 when she said Donald Trump sexually assaulted her. If Hillary can be subpoenaed, then Trump who knew Epstein and appears countless times in the files, must appear before Oversight. ⚖️ EFTA02858488: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say

The DNC is allegedly hiding a report showing that Kamala Harris’s Gaza policy helped cost her the 2024 election. But that report won’t tell us anything we don’t already know about the disastrous choices the party made. https://bit.ly/4b2u5IM

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

There might be a reason that the U.S. Constitution doesn’t assign decisions on the discretionary use of military force to the erratic whims of one man.

Primary his ass.

U.S. Rep. Jonathan Jackson has been a vocal critic of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the Chicago area, but he’s also banking on shares of Palantir, a data analysis company that’s helping the Trump administration deport people.

Yehyehyeh good good but can the state also charge Jonathan Ross or

Attention #ICE Agents, Trump cannot Pardon State Crimes. Prepare for Prison.

@governorwalz.mn.gov It's time to put your money where your mouth is and protect your citizens. Go out as governor on a good note.

I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...

Minneapolis cops need to arrest this fuck NOW.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

The Trump regime repeatedly lied to Congress about their intention to pursue regime change in Venezuela. They didn’t get Congressional approval for regime change, but did it anyway. Demanding a briefing in response is both pathetic and nonsensical. Calling for impeachment is the obvious response.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Went for a big ol' walk to clear the cobwebs/brain and enjoy the frosty weather: Bradford-on-Avon to Westwood and Avoncliff.

It's heartening to know that Jefferies is just uniquely bad

Just a reminder: Venezuela's oil has NEVER belonged to the United States.

Resign. Today

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

That's my senator, and that's how you do it unlike all these feckless Dem statements that oddly begin by pointing out the illegally renditioned foreign leader was mean

“Libs will really go the extra mile to defend a dictator.” …I don’t seem to remember Venezuelans consenting to this for themselves either. Imposed governance & occupation authority is kind of the whole problem here.

if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly

“Donald Trump can’t run America, now he wants to go run Venezuela while the American people can’t afford health care, can’t afford groceries. This is not what the American people want. This is not Constitutional. This is not what is legal.” —Rep. Pramila Jayapal

Tom Cotton, a war veteran with a Harvard law degree, obviously knows this was an act of war against Venezuela. The FBI doesn't arrest drug traffickers using US warships, bombers and combat troops. Beyond ludicrous.

The appropriate Democratic response is that the president is out of control. You don’t need to repeat his Maduro talking points. Stop being pussies.

who calls the shots where you get your news? defector.com/products

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

notice how this happens at almost every high profile school shooting now.

Someone just tagged this post from November 2024. Maybe I should do a signed paperback giveaway? I'll pick one at 5 pm CST tomorrow at random from the likes. You don't even have to follow or repost ... but it would be nice if you did!

We killed how many cancer research trials to pay for this?

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Over and over, the mainstream press reports that Trump has secured a “trade deal” with a foreign country and every single time he’s just making it up. When will they learn?

Boats already stopped in the water. People about to die. Clues to drone and manned aircraft fighting systems. —Findings of our freeze-frame study of the Trump administration’s promotional videos of its bombing campaign on suspected drug smuggling boats. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...
