He can steal our tax dollars, corrupt our institutions, betray our allies, and corrode our faith, but he will never be as respected and intelligent as Obama or as cool and accomplished as Biden. Never.

The United States is the greatest nation founded on principles and ideals instead of codified or patronized succession. Values and behavior make someone a patriot; promoting the blessings of liberty and opportunity make one an American.

The media should not refer to people who behave like Speaker Johnson as “devout Christians”. The media should indicate people who behave like Johnson as “identifying as devout Christians”.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

What we need is Dem and Republican anti-war legislators to form coalitions on that common ground. Then we need those with privacy concerns to form cross aisle coalitions. After that, supporters of the working class. Before you know it, congress may begin to represent their constituents again.

Billionaires already have all the money they’ll ever need. Wouldn’t it be easier to allow democracy to play out with free and fair elections where the best policies win and the most people benefit?

NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power. Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond. Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

SHAMELESS: Donald Trump is slapping his name on infrastructure projects across the U.S. funded by President Biden’s historic 2021 infrastructure law that Trump opposed and tried to derail. (NYT)

These four Americans were killed in Lithuania. They were brought back home yesterday. Their President flew to Florida to make a deal with the Saudi golf tournament. Also their President when asked about them in the Oval Office said “I’ve no idea about them”. 😡

There is only one world leader who benefits from this global market turmoil, pulling American support for NATO and Ukraine, and an American recession. He just needed a useful idiot to get the ball rolling. Спасибо Americans.

Does anyone remember just a few years ago before Musk gave Trump tens of millions of dollars? Diesel trucks with MAGA flags posted pictures of themselves rolling coal, smoking out Teslas and parking sideways at Teslas Superchargers?

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

All Pete Hegseth talks about is being a warrior and instilling a warrior mindset in the military. Personal courage is the cornerstone of the warrior ethos. I wonder how that fits with being such a coward as to fire generals with 35 or more years of service in a press release on a Friday night.
