Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The 2026 Washington Nationals have tied the MLB all-time record for blown saves at 37.

After 17 years of teaching science at West Point, a professor says he was suddenly ordered last year to cut from his curriculum information about the human causes of climate change, according to a new lawsuit filed against the U.S. Military Academy.

Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke. Their autopsies all came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with the long-standard vitamin K shot. (Published May)

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Donald Trump inheriting a situation that was suboptimal but honestly fine, deciding to personally intervene, and making everything significantly worse at great taxpayer expense is a perfect synopsis of every single thing he has done as president both times.

An idiotic reality TV star running one of America's largest cities. Ha. Can you imagine. Dodged that bullet

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

The GOP has a big problem with answering one simple question

Future generations of Trump voters will hide their relationships to those who cast ballots for this destructive goon. The embarrassment of any family connection to this era of stupidity will be overwhelming.

Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

This is how Trump solves all his problems

NEWS: For the third time in five years, the Denver Pioneers are national champions. With it, DU has further cemented itself as the pre-eminent men’s hockey program in the nation with its record-extending 11th national title.

University of Denver This is what the standard in men's college hockey looks like: 🏆 x 5 - Murray Armstrong (1958, 1960, 1961, 1968, 1969) 🏆 x 3 - David Carle (2022, 2024, 2026) 🏆 x 2 - George Gwozdecky (2004, 2005) 🏆 x 1 - Jim Montgomery (2017) #GoPios

11 NCAA National Hockey Championships for the Denver Pioneers. Insane. They have the game on the Jumbotron here at Ball Arena and the fans are going wild.

As part of my efforts to combat the COVID Amnesia Project, let's accurately remember what 3 influential laptop class doctors from Stanford said 6 years ago as COVID overflowed hospitals and morgues. They won't remind you. I will. My latest.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

that works out to ~$40b/year, or a little under 10% of Iran’s GDP

Alright let's see. In 2019 Trump was angrily posting about the 1.8 billion in cash the Obama administration gave Iran in 2016. 1.8 billion divided by 2 million is 900. Prior to the start of this war, about 135 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz every day.

out of power, republicans spend every waking minute calling anodyne things impeachable and democrats can't make themselves regularly say the same about war crimes, self dealing or dementia

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

If the stakes weren't so high and the human toll wasn't so awful, it would be genuinely very funny how little of a shit Trump gives about any part of his job that isn't renovations or rigging elections. The most obviously checked out dude in history.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH THE GRASS I NEED HELP GETTING SOME SHIPS THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Dear Russia, Iran's fire is making oil prices spike. Spiking oil prices makes economic problems for us, so we're making it easier for you to sell more oil. In sum, Iranian military success against us reduces economic pressure on you. Just, you know, FYI. Sincerely, The geniuses leading America

the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

I SAID I’D PAY YOU $50 FOR MOWING. BUT THE TARIFF IS $100. SO YOU OWE ME $50, UNLESS YOU HAVE A SISTER.

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

A criminal syndicate.

Today’s CBO report says US consumers pay 95% of tariffs. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social www.cbo.gov/system/files...

Helluva statement from Colorado Rep Crow (D) on the Trump administration's failure to indict him and others

Let's ask Scott Adams if ivermectin cures cancer. Hang on. One sec. He's not picking up.

(AXIOS) - Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told Axios in an interview Tuesday that, when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files the previous day, it came up "more than a million times." @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

Trump’s best friend Jeff Epstein was worried about Trump’s dementia way back in 2017. How bad do you think it is now?

MSNBC: Do you believe Donald Trump is a racist? HAKEEM JEFFRIES: If the guy is not a racist, he's certainly doing the best job that he can trying to convince us otherwise
