How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

It was a crime the first time he made the offer, and it's still a crime tonight.

Sounds really bad but the upside is we might find out who needed the beastiality waiver.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

A pastor for Michael Whatley, the North Carolina GOP Senate nominee, opened with a prayer asking God to bestow "integrity and honesty." It was delivered by Pastor Daimon King, a registered sex offender twice imprisoned for convictions involving children. apnews.com/article/what...

If there’s even a small issue with a single ballot-like a woman changed her name upon getting married-the USPS system could disenfranchise 10,000 voters Allegedly, the point of this is to stop cheats. But there haven’t been anywhere near 10,000 cases of fraud in the entire history of mail in voting

Weird how most of those newly revealed pentagon psyops accounts also downplayed the Epstein list. Probably just a coincidence

Wait. Do republicans think doctors work for free under universal healthcare? Does she think doctors who see Medicare patients don’t get paid?

When you’re too stupid to realize that universal healthcare is about providing healthcare to people for free (other than their taxes), not making doctors work without compensation.

Every time a non-white woman in Dem politics delivers a less-than-pitch-perfect line—if they even briefly hesitate while speaking off-the-cuff about a nuanced issue—it becomes a major story about their intelligence, and meanwhile every single Trump appointee talks like this all day long.

If you voted Trump because you thought the problem with America was that there weren't enough FBI agents committing bestiality, congratulations: "Acts of bestiality are also 'no longer automatic deal breakers for applicants to the nation’s top law enforcement agency'...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

[driving my car through bachelorette party] your reaction to me doing this is why women's gatherings are bad

On 9/11, US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents immediately sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge. interestingengineering.com/culture/oper...

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

President Obama left office 3,500 days ago on January 20, 2017.

I am almost without words for what has become of this once proud newspaper. I will only say this: Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. demdock.com/4w6emld

"New Yorkers will flee ..." "Massachusetts citizens will flee ..." "Californians will flee ..." Sure, sure. Any day now, sure.

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.

300,000 Haitians legally living in the U.S. have officially lost their Temporary Protected Status this week. ICE is reportedly planning to target Haitian communities and fast-track deportations to Haiti, which is controlled by violent gangs and deep in crisis. Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds.

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.

just a reminder that Bernie Moreno is covering up the domestic abuse *of his own daughter*

I can't compete with this. www.npr.org/2026/07/28/n...

Brooke Taylor, a Fox News “National Correspondent,” was oh so proud of her scoop a few days ago. Appears to have been all bullshit. She hasn’t updated her feed.

Casually threatening mass rapes

Fuckin hell Chuck the Supreme Court is not a victim of Trump's bullying, they are perpetrators of it, why is literally everyone in Dem leadership so fuckin intransigent and obtuse when it comes to recognizing what this court is

They're plundering the national treasury.

This schmuck is so stupid and embarrassing. The media would’ve ripped President Biden to shreds had he tied a knot on one of the most prestigious awards in our country. #SheShed #Pinks

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

If the stakes weren't so high and the human toll wasn't so awful, it would be genuinely very funny how little of a shit Trump gives about any part of his job that isn't renovations or rigging elections. The most obviously checked out dude in history.

i like the fantasy of trump attending the supreme court hearing on revoking birthright citizenship, as though he will be thoughtfully considering the legal merits of the case with great intellectual mind, instead of staring down conservative justices to make sure they do his bidding

"We were praying! Loudly! Did everyone hear our performative prayer? Be sure you write down that you heard us praying! It was very sincere. Be sure to write that too.:"

Keep an eye out for the Cava bags those money smugglers use

"Are ICE agents trained for this? ICE agents increasingly lack the necessary training **to be ICE agents,** and they definitely aren’t trained to work as TSA officials..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Remember when his Sieg Heil was just a gesture of heartfelt joy?

The people of Ohio are currently evenly split between wanting to keep this semi-sentient pennyloafer as their United States senator or putting Sherrod Brown back in office. No, really! This is a hard choice for them, apparently.

How many lives will be lost? How many families will be destroyed? How much suffering will be inflicted upon the world because our Tyrant-in-Chief launched us into another unwanted forever war based on his feelings?

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN. How do you think this all ends, folks?

Another word you might use for it is "looting". "This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly? BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing! K: You don't think it's hyperbolic? B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

⚡️Fox News mislabels Ukrainian Shahed-drone intercept footage as part of American ‘high-tech arsenal’ destroying Iranian drones. According to Ukrainian drone manufacturer Wild Hornets, the footage used by Fox featured STING — a Ukrainian interceptor drone used to destroy Shahed-type drones.
