They’ve chosen their scapegoat for this week.

BREAKING NYT: The Trump Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Corey Lewandowski over accusations that he personally profited from his role as a top adviser to the Department of Homeland Security, according to two officials with knowledge of the situation.

A woman dressing how she wants is protected by the First Amendment. If you don't like our Constitution, you're the one who shouldn't be here. I've lived with Muslim women my entire life and it's been fantastic. Weak, insecure men are intimidated by strong, powerful women. That's a you problem.

They install incompetent idealogues because they don’t want the departments to actually function. They’re weakening the guardrails so it’s easier to push the country off the cliff.

I’m not gonna say it, but you know.

It’s like a Pavlovian conditioning experiment on a macro scale. Say the buzzword, MAGA salivates.

Yesterday, JD Vance, a Yale Law grad, couldn't define what "socialism" means. Instead of defining it, Vance talked about boys in girls sports. This admin has devalued its words, and would be admitting to supporting the same policies they attack others for if they told the truth. Link below ⬇️

These aren’t policy differences. This is psychopathy. This is a full departure from reality and the idea that a sitting president fantasizes about visiting destruction and death upon our own cities is so far beyond anything my mind could have imagined outside of some dystopian fiction.

News to Remember@moments2remember.link

The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES stood on a stage and said: “Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego.” And people CHEERED. I’m sorry, but what the actual fuck are we doing?

I think people really underestimate how badly the evangelical movement bastardizes Scripture and the faith in general. It was only when I was deep in study preparing for ministry that I came to see it for what it was and made the decision to leave.

Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com

As a man of faith, I find Pete Hegseth's twisting of Scripture abhorrent. Hegseth has been citing the Bible to justify Donald Trump's illegal war, but those very same scriptures say something quite different. Let's take a look. (link below)

It doesn’t take an expert on the military to recognize that: 1 - You don’t fire the inspectors general and judge advocates if you plan to follow the law. 2 - You don’t eliminate the top 20% of your most experienced and educated officers if your plans have legitimate military objectives.

I might be a bit looney but if the treasury department can auto-enroll kids for the pedo accounts and 18 year olds for selective service, why can they not do this for voter registration?

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

When I was a young Army MP NCO and briefing the shift, I would usually include a warning about the “how-dare-you” mindset during interactions. If you’ve been an LEO or spent time around it, you know what I mean. Ego kills.

If trained officers can’t stay calm during a 7 on 1 arrest, how do you expect a citizen to stay calm when he is being punched, disarmed, maced, and shot? Post Anything Here: InteractInk.com

You’ll never convince me that Trumpism isn’t a cult because wdym you’re willing to give up liberty, pay out the ass for everything, and tank your health - all so you can be mean to brown and queer people? gtfoh

If there is anything for which I am grateful to this nightmare administration, it’s the revelation that our supposed checks and balances amongst the three allegedly co-equal branches of government are somewhat toothless and need some reworking.

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social

Why would Trump feel pressure to follow a court order? The CORRUPT GOP Supreme Court gave him immunity. Plus he knows there is no one who can enforce this order. Trump is how our Republic dies--unless we win the House AND the Senate!

Remember that when the wealthy use their influence to “grease the wheels”, we’re the grease. It’s our blood, sweat, and skin that eases any friction while they endeavor to hoard more and more.

When anyone chooses to end their own life it’s tragic, even if it’s a Gesloppo goon. I will say that the circumstances around this one (pending termination before satisfying the requirements of the fat signing bonus) were predictable to those of us who’ve enlisted/reenlisted for a bonus.

Squeaker Johnson does it again, this time to avoid accountability for the former Fox host with the personality of a mayonnaise lasagna.

More than tired of watching grown men and women, who were sent to DC to be voices for their constituents, debase themselves and betray their people just so they can suckle at the teat of an octogenarian rapist. The party of might-is-right and masculinity, am I right?

I think part of why the billionaire bros are having fits is because we’re seeing a societal shift away from the “have it all” mentality around the so-called “American dream” towards a more reasonable and equitable “have enough” kind of view. Hustle culture was always a scam to keep us chasing “it”.

It seems like there may be some hope in the legal wrangling, but I don’t think they care. The implementation will cause enough disruption to disenfranchise large swathes of the population, even if the policy is eventually reversed. It’s fast and indiscriminate which causes fear and confusion.

Are they really using GTA as a retention incentive? First, who TF is signing over years of their lives for a weekend of game access? I guess the whole xtian nationalist, spiritual warfare, family values act is all done?

Great way to start the day! Bye, you arrogant, bigoted piece of 💩.

Breaking: GOP Congressman Andy Ogles, who has said gay people have “no place in America” and “Muslims don't belong in American society,” just lost his primary in Tennessee. He will no longer serve in Congress.

Sad that there is even a need for this. How about we just pit our drones against each other and whoever runs out of toys first loses. Of course that would hamper their efforts to eliminate non-Christian brown people much more difficult.

One soldier's concerns about soldiers’ survival in the drone-dominated combat of the future initially led him to start tinkering with electronics he bought online. Now, he's putting the finishing touches on a drone detector that soldiers can wear like protective gear. Learn more:

If you’re still absolutely clueless in 2026 about why victims don’t come forward, the actions (or rather inactions) in relation to Epstein, along with the discourse in the so-called “man-o-sphere”, should disabuse you of that ignorance. If not, you don’t deserve to have other humans in your life.

Release all of the trumpstein files!

I feel like the posts saying we can’t vote our way out of this - without expounding further - really need to emphasize that voting is still a big part of change-making. Pressure campaigns on those we do elect still have a better shot with those in the D camp than any MAGAs that win.

Proposal: Since criminal convictions require proof that convinces a jury beyond a reasonable doubt, officers involved in shootings should be obligated to similarly convince a jury/panel of the justification beyond a reasonable doubt - you know, since they already meted out capital punishment.
