The Pentagon never disclosed that eight US Marines were injured when an Iranian cruise missile hit their vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on September 14, NBC reports. Injuries were eventually added to the casualty record with no announcement ten days later.

Ugh Rick Scott is such an idiot. Don't bother opening your dumb mouth you fool.

Rick Scott: "With regard to destroying mankind, these companies need to do the right thing on their own. We're not going to get smart enough to regulate them. We're not going to get something done up here."

Good. Arrested is the correct way to handle this abuse of power.

“60 Minutes” — once a fearless national treasure — has been largely gutted. Over a year ago, I appeared on “60 Minutes” because I trusted the leaders of CBS to report the news with honesty and bravery. That will be my last appearance on the show. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Jeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."

if we’re still pretending that Mitch McConnell is alive then we should be able to criticize him for his silence on the anniversary of 9/11

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

There’s lots of empty land in and near Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, and for that matter at the very spacious estates of the tech oligarchs and the nice campuses of the tech companies. Those seem like easy places to put data centers.

Of course he did! He's Ken Paxton for crying out loud!

MS NOW: "The Talarico campaign is filing a legal motion to unseal two depositions Ken Paxton gave in 2019 and 2022. A source tells MS NOW the Talarico campaign has reason to believe Paxton admitted to crimes in those depositions."

This is pure evil. Immigrants make our country great. I bet they used their new shock gloves too just to be extra sadistic.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

My wife had several D&Cs after miscarriages. It was devastating for both of us but calling it an "abortion" is ridiculous. We ABSOLUTELY wanted each and everyone of those pregnancies. This is so sad.

ProPublica@propublica.org

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

I just spent some time in the hospital. The people doing the absolute worst jobs are immigrants trying to support their family here AND back in their home country. Immigration makes America great and the Trump admin (Steven Miller) should be criminally protected. It just breaks my heart.

There is something so pathetically fitting about Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat becoming an empty vessel held by someone who just does whatever Trump tells them to

It's hard to believe anything that sex pest bill gates says but I don't think he's wrong on this.

Bill Gates is dumbfounded by the kind of voluntary measures that the White House and industry leaders are developing. “Self-regulation on the most dangerous tool ever invented? No, thanks!”

It’s astounding. Can anyone even begin to imagine, in your daily life, what it would be to: every time you open your mouth, lie. To lie like this liar. Big, fat lies. Little lies. Implied lies. Constantly. About everything. Your weight, hair, taxes, golf trophy, election… His brain is psychomush.

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
