This “noticing” talking point comes out of white nationalist/neo-Nazi circles. Typically part of antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Travelers: We would like you to hire more flight controllers, stop planes from colliding and not pack us in like it’s the last train to Auschwitz. Duffy: Would it kill you guys to put on a fucking tie? Maybe buy a snappy pair of cordovans.

Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

Gender-affirming care saves lives

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Getting on the Mossad's radar is not generally a good idea.

Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

Like everyone predicted.

Cramer: If you haven’t noticed, the president has been taking down some tariffs little by little, country by country. He is noticing the inflationary outcome of some of those specific tariffs.

Does anyone have a list of the reporters that were in that gaggle where he said, "Quiet, Piggy"? You know, the ones who refused to support their colleague? I'd like to know who they are because they should be named and shamed.

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

NEW: During a Vatican audience, a prominent same-sex couple told Pope Leo XIV they were married. The pope responded with overwhelming kindness — and a conversation about the day’s Wordle. This quiet moment may signal something bigger: the kind of Church Pope Leo intends to build.

Adelita Grijalva may get sworn in, but watch as a Trump sycophant withdraws a signature to protect Trump from having the horrors of his behavior in the Epstein Files becoming public. To finagle to protect a serial pedophile, you have to be a truly amoral cretin. That would be you, Nancy Mace.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

An incredible interception moment: the video is showing a Russian Shahed drone flying straight toward a residential high-rise — but it was shot down just in time by our anti-aircraft drone 🇺🇦

Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court. The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used. The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

Russia continues targeting Ukraine's critical infrastructure. As of this morning, parts of Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa Oblasts remain without power. Authorities have introduced scheduled outages across most of the country, along with power restrictions for industry and businesses.

Sean Duffy’s been telling us for months that we have a critical shortage of air traffic controllers in this country which is causing serious safety issues in air travel, then Trump comes out today & calls them a bunch of traitors if they took a day off & encourages them to quit.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, demolishing the White House, and blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care Trump: No Schumer: Okay

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!
