JD Vance: "There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulent over access to the government than Donald J Trump"

Well that explains why he's spending so much money to stop the state from flipping.

Just another day in the Presidency as directed by Fellini.

Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"

this is so fucking sad

Trump: *says horrible thing* the media: he didn’t actually mean it Trump: no I definitely one hundred percent meant it

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Rick Scott: "With regard to destroying mankind, these companies need to do the right thing on their own. We're not going to get smart enough to regulate them. We're not going to get something done up here."

Boston dumps Flock, says it shared data nationwide in violation of contract arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

i said a while ago that our country is being run by people to stupid to realize that Starship Troopers (1997) was satire but i never expected it to get this literal

One thing that's gonna happen during the next Dem Presidency is that they'll be forced to pay out a ton of lawsuit settlements for federal misconduct under Trump and rightwing media will call it "an apology tour" and make a big deal out of how much money they're spending.

LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently

sorry who is the eulogy for again

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 3.8k): Has the US won the war with Iran? Yes: 9 No, but it will: 24 No, and it won't: 42 I mean... Jesus yougov.com/en-us/daily-...

Fueled by private equity investments, Lucky Strike Entertainment went on a buying spree and now owns more than 1 in 10 bowling alleys in the U.S. Bowlers say rising costs are making the middle-class activity unaffordable. NBC News’ Shannon Pettypiece reports from Wichita, Kansas.

this, for me, is the defining Lindsey Graham statement

Debasing yourself for a full decade and your only reward will be a single, rambling truth social post by Trump in tribute of “Lindsay (sic) Graham, a great supporter and believer in our beautiful, and so badly needed, BALLROOM.”

An Afghan national who fought alongside U.S. forces has died from an allergic reaction while in ICE custody, one day after he was detained for deportation proceedings, his death certificate shows. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It’s a beautiful evening, the National Mall is open and people are having a wonderful time.

KAITLAN COLLINS: Are you okay with Iran having missiles? SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I prefer that they not, but they have to defend themselves COLLINS: You think Iran needs to be able to defend itself? MARSHALL: I do, otherwise we turn this into a forever war

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil." April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil, much more than we need." June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks..."

Trump allies keep bringing meritless lawsuits against the government, which Trump's DOJ then "settles" for enormous sums of taxpayer money now Trump is personally getting in on it, negotiating with himself for a "settlement" in the *billions* we're being robbed ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The peace in knowing… “They not here for me”

no I think he’s a guy

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win. These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

See, this is MEANT to be tongue in cheek, with the treating it seriously being ironic. But the New York Times can’t pull it off because of what they’ve become. The mock-seriousness is too close to how they routinely are. /1 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

Pitt deploys Army Corps of Engineers to reinforce Semple Street porches ahead of St. Patrick's day.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Why do we call them Free Agents when you have to pay them so much!?!?!

One of the worst called sequences I’ve ever seen. A playoff OT game decided by the refs. Bummer.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
