The sooner Musk goes to Mars, one way, the better…

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social on the double-tap strike: "They released the first part of the video the next day. Hegseth played it on Fox News…They're releasing part of the video and not releasing the rest of it—what's the rationale for that except there's something they don't want us to know?"

👀

Litigation city!

Definitely bring charges!

Trumpism/MAGAism is not conservatism; it’s a species of fringe-nutism!

A joke; a very bad one.

Tom Nichols on the Signalgate report: “Its conclusions are unequivocal and brutal: Pete Hegseth endangered the success of a U.S. military operation and put the lives of American military personnel at risk.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Don't fall for the manipulative "censorship" framing of EU's fines against X for DSA violations. The EU is trying to enforce their laws. X is breaking them. And the U.S. government is defending big tech, billionaries, & bullshitters rather than protecting users. www.linkedin.com/posts/daphne...

So: 1) There was never a "fight" to begin with 2) There aren't any visible drugs (not that it would matter if there were) 3) They watched two clearly helpless people try not to drown in the ocean for 41 minutes, not "staying in the fight" 4) Then they killed them This is straight up murder.

Protect the Dear Leader and his officials at all costs is the name of the game…

Cotton Comes to Harm ‘Em

He’s following his boss’s example.

Cotton knows his statement is bs; it’s for the base!

Says the very man doing the poisoning.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

"As with so much of what has gone wrong in the past 10 months (or years), this chaos can be laid squarely at feet of SCOTUS. Here, they’ve allowed him to continue collecting hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs despite multiple lower courts ruling it's patently illegal." — @lizdye.bsky.social

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

He damn well knows the details; but none of the gelded Republicans in Congress will dare criticize Donald Trump, for ANY reason!

The ancient Egyptians did a much better job!

His remark is a non-answer; typical Trump.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Not to worry, he’ll tell us all the results were perfect!

Excellent use of 12 seconds.

Laura Loomer is not a journalist. What a joke.

A petulant child is in charge of the FBI.

she did not answer the question because she cannot. There is NO justification for this

Doesn’t matter: She’s talking about reading, something Trump never does anyway…

But it makes no difference to the hardcore base

This'll be in 2028 ads

Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

To be clear, we're talking about a *literal* take-no-prisoners approach. This is not a metaphor. We're describing the Secretary of Defense in literal terms as a guy who is genuinely committed to doing war crimes

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

👍

Or, perhaps sacrifice the admiral for illicitly ordering the second strike against, they’ll say, the wishes of the Secretary.

The critical thing here is that Leavitt is distancing Hegseth from the final act of delivering the ultimate order for the strike that killed the two men in the water. She only acknowledges that Hegseth directed the initial destroying of the boat. That raises new Qs: newrepublic.com/article/2037...

Let me say this plainly: If any other country had done this, we would call it what it is, a war crime. Because that is exactly what it was. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

"...practiced by Japanese forces in brutally attacking helpless survivors of a torpedoed vessel and demands effective assurances from the Japanese Government that such criminal acts, which are contrary to all standards of civilized conduct, will not be repeated in the future. ..."

guys I found a copy of the scan

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

Whatever you do, don’t anger the administration by reposting this!

Third time’s a charm?

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Trump: “They gave him 45 years because he was the President of the Country — you could do this to any President.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

“A European intelligence agency distributed a hard-copy report in a manila envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials...inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the US had been pursuing with Russia, including jointly mining rare earths in the Arctic.”

The onus is not as much on Trump as it is on all those who, from greed or cowardice, allow this to happen and continue.

Strengthening "strategic cooperation among the world’s democracies" was not hard to do in 2009. It has become nearly impossible now that the world’s most powerful democracy has turned into a rogue nation led by a president who is more sympathetic to dictators than democrats. wapo.st/4oZH3wz
