They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge. They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership. We do not have serious people running our country.

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously, 1. Hating their government 2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

Ask a few ordinary Iranians what they think (not the regime) and listen to what they have to say.

Heads up, California. CHP just announced that a stretch of I-5 will be closed Saturday, October 18, for a military event at Camp Pendleton. The freeway will stay shut until it’s over, and yes, they’re planning to fire live rounds over the highway. What could possibly go wrong?

Murphy: You guys can handle the truth, right ? You guys deserve the truth, right ? The truth is that Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America

What do you think made America great? I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country. And I also know who truly hates America: • The KKK • 3 Percenters • Proud Boys 1/2

“How much did you make last year?” “$37 MILLION.” “How much did you pay in taxes.” “2-3 MILLION. Don’t blame me, change the tax code.” “Go @ZohranKMamdani !” “If he wins I’ll leave.”🤔 PSA: It’s not “social media” souring young people on capitalism. It’s greed.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Boyle: Mike Johnson and House Republicans have decided to do their own version of quiet quitting — they canceled session three weeks ago, they canceled session two weeks ago, and they’ve now canceled it last week and this week. There is clearly no strategy there other than pure, sheer laziness

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

At today’s hearing, I reminded my colleagues what government censorship actually looks like: Donald Trump demanding the FCC silence news outlets that criticize him. That’s not free speech—it’s an abuse of power.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA. And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.

Defence reporter David Pugliese faced death threats after allegations by a former Conservative cabinet minister cast him as a Russian intelligence asset. Instead of unmasking a spy, Parliament landed a case study in how falsehoods gain traction. thewalrus.ca/a-veteran-report...

Scientific racism or theories of cultural racism are obviously completely bunk to begin with but can you imagine trying to make an argument for your own superiority where your "heritage" is the antebellum South, genuinely one of the most evil human societies ever
