If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

I’m guessing we’re days away from this being posted on the White House trollsite

This made my day

gift article from The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/08... Maybe we should have thought of this BEFORE we started a war its now clear we're losing. Maybe think about how to do things, how sequence can make a difference in outcomes.

www.wsj.com/finance/leop... okay, his resume is FTX, Open AI (fired for leaking), and an AI hedge fund—the most crowded bubble ever—that blew up well before the bubble burst, and he’s still worth a friendly WSJ profile? “Ambitious young smart ass blows up hedge fund” so what

“Musk excels not because he can’t stop winning, but because he understands that, in the financialized logic of our age, winning is less important than the perception that you will win. Speculation beats fundamentals.” www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Most convincing take on Iran War I've seen, sadly. Why sue for peace if we've shown we'll still mount "mow the grass" attacks when it suits us, and they can make everyone hurt by closing the strait and launching drone attacks, + earn cred with their allies www.foreignaffairs.com/iran/iran-em...

$300 million in private funds becomes $1 billion in public money. Don't tell me--those private funds are "spent" with no receipts. A better idea: keep it a like it is, call it a monument to lawlessness. Voila! Its art! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Trump wanted to be Putin, now he is. Iran is our Ukraine, imagined as a quick success but surprisingly tough & resilient. China is now the US, lamenting its rival’s action, but happy to see it mired in conflict. Imagine year 4…

Maybe Trump is desperately looking for an exit from Iran, but equally plausible: He’s doing a Netanyahu—keep the war going because he’s going to jail when it ends. In the meantime, market manipulation with Friday good news, setting up shorts, that surge on reality bad news. Rinse & Repeat

Billionaires buy the govt to avoid taxes, get crazy rich stealing our intellectual property to build AI, driving the country into a catastrophic debt crisis while risking a world-wide job apocalypse which would destabilize the planet. Let’s seize the AI winner, and use the revenue to pay the debt

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

Nobel Committee is considering giving Obama another Peace Prize, just to poke the orange bear

So, Trump calls his own bluff, getting Pakistan to post his off-ramp cover story as their own. Good for the world, but Iran surely knows he Taco’d, so next round will be worse. Trump lost the war in Ukraine, lost Europe & NATO, now lost war in Iran. At least we don’t have healthcare.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good morning, friends! Since today is Good Friday, I thought I would remind all of the ChristoFascists and Christian Nationalists of the following facts. Help me spread the message by reposting.

Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.

An apt summary, awful reality, stupid decisions and self contradictory strategies. This won’t end well

Mr. Buria told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events, the officials said. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

The is is spot on www.facebook.com/reel/7753033...

“We negotiate with bombs,” he says. I, for one, would like to see him try that.

My fear: dirty bomb within 5 years “We’re massively denigrating Iran’s ability to project power, but exponentially increasing their desire to do so...Iran will feel existentially threatened by the U.S. and Israel...Up until now, I didn’t think Iran would seek a nuclear weapon. And now I do.”

Our blood & pricey weapons, they get the treasure www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

In retrospective this is weird that Wikileaks did not reveal the Epstein case. It's almost like Assange was not that uncompromised truth-seeker as he pretended to be.

Consider the fact that we have a president who has worse things to say about Robert Mueller than he does about Jeffrey Epstein.

Spread this dear ones: "Bernie Sanders is suggesting the Epstein files be read during the filibuster on the SAVE Act this week. Let's get this to TREND! Answered that for you

Tell Trump that, sadly, you need to keep your military ready to defend Greenland, which has recently come under threat.

What a paragraph. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Pete Hegseth Questions What Girls Were Doing In School To Begin With https://theonion.com/pete-hegseth-questions-what-girls-were-doing-in-school-to-begin-with/

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Someone fixed the pedophile president's Truth Social post. 😳👇

Is there a single Republican who cares about the country? Zero qualms about crashing into a war of choice with the least qualified Sec Def in modern times, then replacing the least qualified DHS Sec with an even less qualified one? Nihilists, cowards, and venal fools. See you at Nuremburg.

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

So: Unprovoked war based on new lies to justify old fears and grievances, with no strategy and only 1 ally. Sounds like worst part of GW but with less planning, less support, less justification, and led by less competent people.

On President’s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged “ResistDance” — a tribute and act of artistic dissent — at the Lincoln Memorial. ❤️ #FirstAmendment #ArtisticExpression

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Odds that the racist tweet was distraction-bait from Epstein files? 99.9%

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
