this guy is one of the architects of a war that might rank as one of the worst strategic missteps in american military history and here is on CBS getting a softball interview about his feelings
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tells 60 Minutes that news of a U.S. fighter jet being shot down over Iran woke him in the middle of the night. His first thought: “S***.”

it's insane they do this bend-over-backwards "critics say it raises questions" shit when the actual law just says "its illegal to put living people on currency"
The U.S. Mint releases video showing the manufacturing process for $1 coins featuring President Trump, issued to mark the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026. Critics have raised questions about the design's legality.

@slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov this is fucking horrible what this administration has done to these Haitians. And you’re fucking cowards for doing essentially nothing.
in Springfield Ohio right now. I’m told by multiple activists and religious leaders here that ICE took a second Haitian pastor

It is political malpractice for Democratic senators to be helping Trump fill judicial vacancies four months before the midterms. Completely unserious people.

Apparently, you're not allowed to post: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

🚨Trump is going to deport Iranian women who PROVED to an immigration court that they would be persecuted in Iran to the Central African Republic, a country so dangerous to others the U.S. recommends no American travel there. Trump is destroying this country's legacy of freedom!
They came here fleeing persecution; rather than give them refuge, Marco Rubio’s state department will send them to die in countries they’ve never been to. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...
You two going to do anything or just keep confirming his judicial nominees @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov ?

We live in a white supremacist country under the rule of a white supremacist Supreme Court and President.
BREAKING: By a 6-3 vote, #SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use its never-implemented 2023 districts in this year's elections. They're likely to result in a 6-1, R-D split and the loss of 1 of 2 majority Black AL districts. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.
BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

This will not end w/ voting rights. The fundamental premises of these SCOTUS opinions are: 1) Anti-discrimination is actually unconstitutional discrimination; 2) Intentional discrimination isn't actionable if any alternative rationale is presented. It's the beginning of the end of civil rights law.
This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

To be clear: the lower court said the map intentionally discriminates against black people in violation of the *constitution* (not just the VRA) and the MAGA Majority of SCOTUS is saying "that's ok now."

Breaking news: SCOTUS intervenes in Alabama redistricting case & says GOP *is* allowed to change Alabama map. Despite a lower-court finding evidence of intentional discrimination. Yet another SCOTUS gift to the GOP; eliminates seat of a Black member of Congress www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Scott Pelley is a hero, and it really makes you wonder: where has this spirit been? In other media figures, other executives, other people who have seen these oligarchs degrade everything of value in this country? Why is it so striking & unusual for *anyone to fight back*?
Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

GOD IS A CIS WHITE MAN AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNER FROM THE STATE OF OHIO. HE LIKES GRILLING AND CONSUMING MEAT, DRIVING HIS SPECIAL EDITION CHEVY SILVERADO, IGNORING HIS SMOKING-HOT WIFE AND THREE STUPID SONS (KADEN, CADEN, AND CASON), AND WATCHING THE CLEVELAND BROWNS LOSE TO THE CINCINNATI BENGALS.
*whispers* The idea that God is GENDERED is actually the really creepy position to take.

Doing something ugly & stupid, experiencing the entirely predictable social consequences, and then complaining that you are oppressed -- this is the quintessential reactionary move. Fuck this dipshit.
Gov. Jared Polis, fresh off being censured by the Colorado Democratic Party for letting Tina Peters out of prison early, showed up today to a private, internal party call like this #copolitics
Wish I had a senator that stood for things @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov
Thank you, @kim.senate.gov @andykimnj.bsky.social for putting yourself on the line. Please join the call to ABOLISH ICE and work to defund and abolish the agency entirely.

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.
