Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

Thank you, America! Money from diesel will help me kill even more Ukrainian children.

🚨 BREAKING: The Pentagon has raised the official death toll of U.S. troops during the war with Iran to 21, with 865 wounded, weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called reporting that the military had undercounted deaths “a complete lie.”

Ken Paxton on the Uvalde shooting: “Life is short no matter what it is.” 21 elementary school children and teachers were killed in the shooting.

My wife and I received our Trump Medicare bribes this week. We‘re thinking of using at least some of this huge windfall to support Democratic senatorial candidates.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Expand SCOTUS 18 year terms Enforceable code of ethics Impeach and remove Roberts and Thomas.

🔥 @katiephang.bsky.social (With Deniro behind her): “I’m suing A.G. Todd Blanche — Trump’s cosplaying personal lawyer — for the unredacted Epstein files… as an independent journo 🗣️ I don’t have a corporate oligarch telling me what to say… Trump has been violating federal law every day.”

Unsurprisingly, 60 Minutes ratings are down. What people like Ellison don’t understand is that many of us wouldn’t watch CBS News, including 60 Minutes, if you paid us. Like Bezos, they don’t understand that consuming content is as much a statement of values as anything.

Imagine having grifted millions and millions of dollars off your father’s political career like Don Jr, including government contracts in multiple businesses where you have an ownership stake, and STILL having a Russian oligarch pay for your lavish wedding. Just obscene.

I used to train law enforcement officers to spot violence before it starts. The reliable tell was never posture or hands. It was grievance… …the instant a man casts himself as the victim. He's not attacking anymore. He's “defending.” That's when it goes bad. Now…look at our president.

I joined Wheaton community leaders and residents to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the Wheaton Public Library’s new West Plaza. I’m proud to have secured $750,000 in federal funding for this welcoming space to read, gather, and connect.

Kara Swisher calls @Google @googlemaps @googleearth “NOODLE SPINED” “UNCTUOUS QUISLINGS” who “SOIL THEMSELVES” 🔥

Trump really knows how to unite a country - unfortunately for him, the country he's united is Canada! 🤣

It’s Lake Ontario. Fuck you Don.

It’s been almost 90 days since the American people have seen or heard from Mitch McConnell. We’re still paying his salary.

My suggestion is to cancel your subscription to any media company that refers to Lake Ontario as Lake America.

Corporate media is obsessed with stopping progressive Democrats while the corrupt rapist president covers up the raping of children and steals everything in existence.

Whether it's a trade war with Canada or an actual war with Iran, the pattern is the same: Americans are paying the price for the President's choices.

No munitions? No problem! We can just start lobbing Reflecting Pool liner and Trump merch and White House East Wing rubble at Iran. "What better way to subdue a regime that longs to bring down our democracy than to bombard it with the ruins of our democracy?" www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

They just yanked a BILLION dollars out of Medicaid. Home care for grandma. Meds for sick kids. GONE. And they call it “fighting fraud”? No. It’s punishment for two blue states…and real people pay for it. This is who they are.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

Ukrainian drones hit another massive Wildberries (think Amazon) distribution centre, this time in Krasnodar. Russians were going crazy after the last one. Wildberries just changed their ToS saying they weren’t liable for drone strikes. Customers and businesses had to soak up the losses. #explodey

Great story about how Amazon uses its monopoly power to screw people; not just their customers

I have never once showed photo ID at Olive Garden, what the fuck are they on about

The Great Red Scare of Mesopotamia was really something.

The WSJ just published two articles in a series on how the US President is in the midst of destroying the Western alliance. Here’s a gift link to #1: www.wsj.com/world/europe...

I honestly think it was cool how for the Freedom 250 concert they symbolically had one attendee from every state

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike. America First.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

I feel like signing a peace agreement then telling people they should definitely not read the peace agreement dramatically decreases the odds that it is a good peace agreement.

I cannot stress enough that this IS NOT NORMAL. As in, it does not happen. Unless, of course, the government wouldn’t want defendants to find something in discovery by pursuing their legal fees under the Hyde Amendment.

Motherfucker can't even win a war against algae.

Elon Musk killed USAID and that will lead to 14 million avoidable deaths by 2030. Hitler slaughtered 17 million people. They are both mass murderers.

It's not a coincidence that the richest man in history is also the saddest, most pathetic, unlikeable cunt in history

It’s always fucking “later” isn’t it? It’s always later! It’s never now, and it’s never clear what the “AI agents” do. It’s a con, plain and simple

Welker is missing a shoe because it’s in Trump’s ass.
