The people who promised to fix everything on day 1 are still out here blaming Joe Biden on day 467.

If Trump can somehow manage to strengthen Iran's hardliners, undermine NATO and benefit the Kremlin all in one war, it could be the Kremlin's greatest military victory since WWII.

Amazing...stay until the end

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

"Without us you'd all be speaking German", Donald Trump tells an audience in Davos, in Switzerland. Where the most common language is German.

Replying to @lynnedy.bsky.social

It is. But actually one of the smartest Americans who ever lived, MLK, explained a good part of it.

They could call it "The Pedolands"

President Trump would like the Commanders’ new stadium named after him, though no formal talks have occurred, ESPN reported. Trump will be in attendance at the team’s game on Sunday — the Commanders expect the topic may arise during his visit.

i absolutely loved this look at the birth of the nato alphabet (alfabet?)

The NATO Phonetic Alphabet (ALFA, BRAVO, CHARLIE etc.) is neither a phonetic alphabet, nor a product of NATO. I've sifted through loads of old documents to find its true origins and, OSCAR MIKE GOLF, is it fascinating. Check out my video here (2 million people already have!): youtu.be/UAT-eOzeY4M

Welcome to realizing everything ever was always about money and power. They manufacture political and social strife to distract from pillage and plunder.

What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.

The NY Times has published an investigation into the Therme development at Ontario Place. It found that while the company told the province it had a proven track record of operating six spas around the world, at the time it had only ever operated one. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

JD Vance & Pete Hegseth had an unsecured conversation re serious national security strategy in a GROUP CHAT with a..wait for it..journalist, “accidentally”. In the military, we have something called OPSEC. If I did this I’d be in TROUBLE. Potential jail-time. Trump’s admin is unhinged & unsafe.

Michiganders gathered at Hart Plaza on the edge of the Detroit River—facing our Canadian neighbors across the water in Ontario—to send a united message: we reject the Trump regime & the billionaire-fueled authoritarianism it brings. A show of cross-border power, united by justice and freedom. 💙🇺🇸🇨🇦💙

Trump announced that Kelly Loeffler at the Small Business Administration will take over student loans from the Department of Education, while RFK Jr. will take over all special needs programs. This is a clusterfuck in the making! #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
