Dolly Parton's passing is effortlessly proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, because there will be no cheering.

Obviously no school has ever *medically* transitioned a student, with or without the parent’s knowledge. She’s talking about stuff like “using a student’s preferred name” and hoping the dimwitted base will imagine covert medical procedures.

Susan Collins is financed by a man who wants to make it easier to create nude pictures of children

I heard that there are thousands and thousands of cases of Rep. Claudia Tenney drowning kittens in her kitchen sink. It happens all the time. But Rep. Claudia Tenney will tell you it doesn't happen because you can't prove it.

If Madison Square Garden is safe for Trump for the NBA Finals it doesn’t seem he needs a $1.2 billion ballroom.

I'm not a plumber. But I'm pretty sure that's not how sinks work.

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

Disinvite Trump from the White House Correspondents Dinner. Or cancel it. The alternative is the news media partying with a war criminal whose goal is to crush the free press.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he never articulated, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Trump is cornered, and he’s going stark-raving mad.

Everyone who did business with Epstein after his conviction in 2008 knew who he was. Everyone doing business with Musk right now knows who he is. Monstrous filth, morally repugnant.

You know what would be "exceedingly reasonable"? Demand the dissolution of ICE and the immediate prosecution of every single crime its agents have committed. Your statement is insulting. Shame on you.

Schumer’s got to go. Pathetic. Feckless.

“Why would you bring a gun to….” Is irrelevant under the second amendment

1. Wasn’t at a protest 2. Was disarmed when they shot him while he was face down 3. New gun rights rule: the second amendment is when conservatives can carry guns everywhere, but if anyone else has a gun we can kill him on sight bsky.app/profile/atru...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Abolish ICE now

And that’s how this will end too: Just like Hernandez, Maduro will buy himself a sweetheart pardon from Trump in 3 years. Book it. None of this has anything to do with drugs.👇

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

He doesn't actually want to hang anybody. He wants you to talk about his wanting to hang Democratic lawmakers instead of talking about the Epstein files.

Their advice is also dangerously wrong! When one group of people must carry papers on them to avoid government kidnapping and disappearing, that means *all* people must carry such papers on them. How else can you show the government you're not someone they should kidnap and disappear?

oh, and don’t EVER say we shouldn’t demand more of elected democrats. a whole lot of them need to be replaced because they’re still too scared to do the right thing. don’t fucking settle. expect more.

This is a great piece.

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Everything I've seen about Democrats' version of Project 2029 is far too modest and weak-kneed. Democrats need to look at the precedents Trump is setting (and shattering) and figure out how a progressive can maximally wield the power that this administration is concentrating in the executive branch.

[picks up phone] let’s see what’s on the bad news machine today … [throws phone into the sea]

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

The growing "Empathy is a Sin" movement is why: "Small gov't" fans want to legislate reproductive rights & gender identity "Free speech absolutists" can ban books, journalists & protests DEI is antithetical to meritocracy, but white mediocrity is not Cruelty is not the point It's a commandment

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

You guys don't get it. America needs more babies. Also, we should deport babies.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Dems- keep pounding away on this and do not let up.

Time to primary Schumer and Gillibrand. They’re useless pawns. Weak. Pathetic.

Ten Democrats voted to censure Rep. Green. Minority Leader Jeffries needs to get his conference in line. Pathetic and weak.

After Green interrupted last night, another Democrat should have done the same thing. And then another, until all of them had to be removed. Delay the speech by a few hours. Or walk out en masse. Anything. Calling Trump an existential threat means nothing if you can’t meet the fucking moment.
