PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

I’m sure the self-proclaimed ‘most transparent White House in history’ won’t mind a thorough investigation into the second strike. Sen Mark Kelly: “You do not execute survivors who are clinging onto a side of a ship.”

GEORGE WILL: “.. The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself.” @postopinions.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I'm not sure he's going to make it, folks. Eyes are closed

Everyone involved should be brought up on charges. And release the Epstein files.

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm. How it all began.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military. They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it. You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

So am I.

Facts

This is what happens when you have the least qualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history.

Today in Psychology (1st December 1913), Mary Ainsworth was born. A hugely influential developmental psychologist, Ainsworth is best known for her pioneering work on child developmental psychopathology. www.all-about-psychology.com/developmenta... #psychology

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

The secretary of defense throwing a top military official under the bus to protect himself. A beacon of integrity.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Russia started this war and Russia is the only country that can stop this war.

You can fuck off too. I cannot for the life of me think why people are so fuck in the head. Once you find out someone is a rapist of children or provider of children to Pedofiles you fucking say, "Fuck off you fucking degenerate." You especially don't make excuses for that degenerate Donald Trump.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

A friendly reminder Russia is not our friend! Russia is a genocidal terrorist state!

How it started / How it’s going

` Trump Crowns Himself 'THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT' ... I don't even know what to say. I am no psychiatrist but this chit's getting serious. And who can sit his ignorant rump down with some pie charts and explain basic 4th grade percentages.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

What he said: 💯 🎯

The House and Senate are both investigating Pete’s war crimes

The irony is rich.

PEDO Prez is a Worthless POS

What a great headline

I guess it’s clear why the lawmakers needed to make that video

Putin’s Puppet

DYK: Women have earned the majority of doctoral degrees awarded by American universities each year since 2009. First women to earn a PhD in the US? Helen Magill White. Her PhD was in Greek from Boston University, 1877. She was born #OTD in 1853. @bostonu.bsky.social#OTD #education #highered #academia

I bet if you blow the dust of the DEPARTMENT OF WAR sign it’d reveal the word CRIMES right after that

More cracks in the dam

The heart and soul of Trumpism in one tweet

Dictators need war to stay in power.

"My poll numbers have never been better."

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

This is why a con man shouldn’t have been allowed to become President! This 👇

Then as now ...

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.
