Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him. If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

This is incorrect: (1) Department of War was just the Army, not the Navy and Marine Corps; and (2) the President does not have the authority, only Congress can make that change in the law. Be better, @npr.org.

When he does die, I will grieve how much of my time & joy he stole across a decade. I will grieve what my children had to witness in their country. I will grieve all who didn't survive & the survivors who bear trauma. I will grieve weak people with power. But never him. He is the worst of us.

Sherrod Brown is an incredibly bright hope for Ohio in 2026. Interesting that Gillibrand and the DSCC are deadset on giving him a crypto headwind. Republican Senator Tim Scott to crypto conference - "thank you for getting rid of Sherrod Brown"

On the surface, Trump’s "paid protesters" rhetoric is obviously absurd, but the subtext is worse: He believes Americans who side with him are real, while Americans who disagree with him should be seen as inauthentic, illegitimate, and the result of corrupt schemes. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

msnbc.comAs Trump accuses Democrats of ‘buying protestors,’ the lie comes with a radical subtextFor nearly a decade, the president has accused his public critics of being “paid protesters.” It’s a ridiculous claim rooted in a radical subtext.

I’m using DuckDuckGo more and more often. You can turn off all AI features easily in the settings. Like, no AI images in search results, no AI summary.

"Liberals already ruined it" shows the plot here. These aren't impartial law enforcement officers protecting all citizens. They are partisan paramilitary militia, terrorizing domestic opponents.

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.

Border Patrol agents assembled outside a Los Angeles museum where Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding a rally and news conference on congressional redistricting. Local elected officials expressed outrage that the agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/u...

Them: “The Epstein files are everything. You should all care about what’s in them.” “We can’t wait to release the Epstein files!” They read the Epstein files. “Forget about the Epstein files.” America: What? Why? Them: “Why do you care about the Epstein files?”

What stage of democratic breakdown is it when corporate CEO's have to favor the president with personal gifts in order to ensure favorable treatment from the government?

it's fine, we moved her to a low-security prison which we then had to frantically upgrade to a medium-security prison

Has JD Vance achieved anything as VP in six months? Because we learned last election about high expectations for those in that critical position to show solid accomplishments.

Why? In part, because the destruction of USAID has made it near impossible to distribute the food. Calculations suggest that it could have fed every starving child in Gaza for a week. And roughly a million dollars up in smoke — due to DOGE.
