It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

NEW: Anthropic’s filing appears to partly walk back the co-founders’ pledge to commit 80% of their personal equity holdings in the AI startup to philanthropic causes. Those acts, the filing suggests, are “voluntary, revocable expressions” that “do not constitute binding obligations.”

Defence ministers from France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the UK to discuss increasing military assistance to Ukraine.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

In a scathing opinion, Judge Ana Reyes concludes that the Trump admin. had settled on a plan to turn East Potomac Park into the elite golf course Trump has been wanting to see built in D.C., all while DOJ represented in court that nothing happening, including DOI felling 400+ trees, was related.

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

This heckler is all of us ✊🏾

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

This is straight Klan stuff. He's talking like a badly xeroxed neo-Nazi flyer someone stuffed in your mailbox back in 1975.

Donald Trump has spent at least $45 BILLION on his Iran war. $30 billion could've extended ACA tax credits for a year and kept premiums from skyrocketing. $13 billion could've paid for Head Start for a year. AND we'd still have money left over.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor over five officers hearing an alleged shoplifter is running and exploding out into the parking lot with guns drawn like they just heard zombie Charles Manson was spotted.

The later contributions of his relative notwithstanding, Sir Robert Watson-Watt called to say Donald Trump can eat his mouldering, unwashed asshole.

My uncle was the tsar of all the Russias. He later married Jean Harlow. And he invented the electric guitar. Since we're just making shit up.

After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

As Obama said, Cleveland was ROCKING for Amy Acton today! 🔥 #VivaHer #VoteBlue

"Meta built products to be addictive to users, driving engagement through features like endless scrolling, and designed algorithms parasitic on outrage or even on mental illness, including body dysmorphia and suicidality." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-techlash...

When there’s finally an effort to hold these criminals accountable for the crimes they committed, we‘re going to see a lot of pundits wring their hands and say it’s politically motivated and insist we need to turn the page and look forward and a lot of other cliches that dumb assholes like to use.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

“Because I’m smart”

Something I wish more people would realize.

here, write it down so it’s easy to repeat: an illegitimate supreme court allowed an insurrectionist barred by the 14th amendment to take office and his pardons aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on

Where was this 12 years ago

Say @marypeltola.com? Did YOU know that Trump is stealing Alaska's oil and giving it to Russia?

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

“It’s a long time ago.” NYT: Can you now say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children? FELON: No. It's such a strange question to be asked. It's a long time ago. #TrumpIsATraitorAndCriminal Thread 1/3🧵

Another great piece on my wife's new documentary. In cinemas from today and playing around the country: All info here: www.glimmerama.com/allriversspill www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Putin is unambguously committed to supporting Republicans in the American midterms through all means at his disposal. It should cause American voters to think twice about voting for them. Trump's dealings with Putin reflect a moral low point in the entire history of US diplomacy.

"It’s a giant loss,” a CNN on-air personality told me following Amanpour's announcement. “It’s what sets us apart. This brain drain will be hugely detrimental. And yes, everyone believes it’s merger-related. And that it won’t be the last defection.” zeteo.com/p/amanpours-...

Trump says 🇺🇦 gave 🇺🇸 “nothing.” Ukrainians have shared battlefield intelligence and sent air-defence specialists to help protect 🇺🇸 forces. Snyder identifies the lie’s darker use: make an ally’s sacrifices disappear, and its abandonment becomes easier to sell. ↴ snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-big...

Appeasement does not work with Putin.

Ken Paxton voted to fund government contracts with the company WatchGuard. He then made $2.2 million off his investment in the company.

INSANE line for James Talarico at the University of Houston

Well,We Know Trump's A Lying, Cheating, Criminal Grifter,Anyway..

I'm reviewing a paper this week, and the AI-infused writing is brain-numbing. I can't even figure out what the author is trying to say. I have to read some sections multiple times. Superficially, the words are fine, the grammar is perfect, but I don't know what it SAYS. Make it STOP.

Oops, you did it again

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.
