Remember when Pete Hegseth's mom wrote him a letter telling him he was a misogynistic POS?

Donald Trump, whom a court found liable for sexual abuse against E. Jean Carroll, defends Vivek Ramaswamy running an ad with Amy Acton's mother, who stayed with the man who sexually abused her when she was 12 years old.

Will any reporter ask the President of the United States to name the five specific states where he alleges that public school teachers are deciding -- all on their own initiative, over the objections of the parents -- to force their children into gender-affirming surgeries? Seems like a big story?

This is just flat out racism. No other way to describe it, and if you see someone trying to do otherwise (looking at you NYT editors) then correct them.

Putin, Trump and Musk all colluding to defeat Ukraine

#ResistanceRoots Kimberly Teehee was born on this day in 1968 in Chicago. She is an attorney and activist who was elected by the Cherokee Nation to serve as its first Delegate-designate to the U.S. House of Representatives. Seven years after her election, the House still has not seated her. /1

Everything that tumbles out of his mouth is Russian propaganda. Know him for what he is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Holy shit.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

What if I bring egg nog to my job interview and slowly drink it in front of you while maintaining eye contact?

- Honestly my dear grandchildren, you’ll never believe how low rates were in the 2010s. - at least you built a load of infrastructure when borrowing costs were so low grandad? Right? Right?

This from a man who has asked his son to monitor his on-line porn consumption.

Doctors say that the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania is likely due to low rates of vaccination. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his van says it’s caused by chemtrails. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

If Biden or Obama had started a war that led to attacks like these on American bases—and then covered it up for months—the political backlash would eclipse Benghazi. One service member: "We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed." www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pho...

We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.

If you think nomenclature doesn't matter, consider the word "homeland." It was never previously used in American life. It sounded frankly German, or Russian; certainly foreign. And then, in the form of this new department, descended on us like a huge clanging gate.

Every word of this.👇

"We're" = Trump family, connected grifters, crypto bros, and military contractors.

-’member those $5000 DOGE dividends? -’member those $2000 “tariff dividends"? -’member those $1000+ expiring ACA subsidies savings? Surely this will be different?

Aren't folks still waiting for the DOGE checks?

We will not forget this kind of anticipatory obedience

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

while milo gets to chit chat on TV with clear access to safety and basic needs, the US is flying untold numbers of immigrants to unsafe countries of origin or other countries where they don't speak the language or know anyone.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.

It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen. The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.

The important part of this announcement, for Markwayne Mullin's DHS, is for the MAGA base to know that more black people are suffering needlessly.

All we can do is spend thousands of hours watching every speech, press conference, gaggle, and event, isolate the clips in perfect sound bites all teed up for free, then it’s up to the consultants making millions to do something with them. bsky.app/profile/esca...

It’s a searing indictment of the media that the family business run by the US president had *hundreds* Of bank accounts closed by Capital One based on suspicions that they were involved in money laundering And-especially since Trump is a convicted felon-it barely registered as a story

A person without any govt position, who has numerous financial conflicts of interest, should not conduct US foreign policy. And that’s before we get to the fact that he uses this role to corruptly solicit money for himself. It’s wrong. Many seem to have accepted it, but I’ll never stop objecting.

Antivaxxers are the poster child for "everything seems like a conspiracy when you have no idea how anything works"

My four year old just got his final MMR shot last month and managed to cry less about it than these dipshits.

Answer is the same as my answer to what I'll do in RFK's work camps. I'll be farmin'.

Vacancies reform needs to be high on the list for the post-Trump agenda. There should be a hard, unambiguous, and fairly short time limit clearly applicable in all cases for actings without Senate confirmation. Even for principal deputies, as Blanche is. The status quo is an easily abused mess.

Before the 2024 election, federal prosecutors were “full steam ahead” looking into how a prison gang in Puerto Rico gave drugs to inmates if they voted for a GOP gubernatorial candidate. After Trump’s election, the investigation evaporated. (Published May)

We can verify the daily physical status of a specific Seattle raccoon but apparently we're completely unable to determine whether a United States Senator is alive or dead.
