Theft as well.

Both the purchases of Alaska and Louisiana required treaty ratifications by the Senate which is a 2/3 majority. Good luck with that Donnie.

If Michigan didn’t already hire a coach they would have had the chance to do the funniest thing ever.

No. This is stupid. There is no economic, military, or political reason to do this. The mere fact this is a White House statement is grounds for immediate impeachment, and the GOP is entirely responsible for all of this dipshittery.

Apple Photos Reminds Man He Was Nude In Capitol Building 5 Years Ago

I don't know how to describe it, but there's this profound brokenness in the American body politic where nobody can take the implications of anything seriously. People keep saying things that should be existential threats to the political system, and then everyone just keeps going on as normal.

You know, Liz Cheney is only 59 and would make a pretty good Attorney General...

fuck outta here

I could be wrong, fwiw. But it's one of those situations where there's lots of smoke (people talking about the connection) and very little fire.

Ok, so it seems like the Vance-Yarvin link is more tenuous than I thought.

Hot take: I think the reason that the media doesn't talk about the Vance/Yarvin connection is that it's....very thin? I think Vance has mentioned Yarvin one time.

I remember when Obama had to denounce Jeremiah Wright. Where are the calls for Vance to denounce Curtis Yarvin?

If ilhan Omar had a "favorite philosopher" who said something like this, the media would literally hound her into resigning. But they don't even report on the fact that the sitting vice president loves this guy, a disgusting anti-semite

should probably be a bigger deal that the vice president's favorite intellectual is a dull nazi bsky.app/profile/leah...

They've decided to withhold the TANF block grant funds to punish blue states.

As someone who was opposed to the Iraq War before it began, I remember vividly watching the Mission Accomplished speech, alarmed that it seemed as though Bush was seeing no downside for his defiant, norm-breaking invasion. But shit changed. Because shit changes, in unpredictable ways.

Notable that just a couple years ago, the injectable version was running around $1300/month. Now there are multiple medications in the class providing competition and the price has dropped 85% to $200/month for a new ingestible version.

Great job, America

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

JUST IN: DOJ says it has finished reviewing *less than 1%* of the Epstein Files for potential release. Only 12,285 documents have been released while more than 2 million remain under review. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The CDC changed the universal vaccine schedule & no longer recommends Rotavirus Hepatitis A & B Meningitis Influenza RSV I’ve cared for previously healthy kids who died from RSV, influenza and meningitis. We all are going to be caring for a lot more now. In our already overflowing hospitals

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think. But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

if you want the Senate to do something, Senate Republicans must do something. People are dunking on this but I'm not really sure what plays Schumer has other than to try to peel off Rs.

I can believe we lost the “sheeet” guy and the “Sheetz” guy within a couple weeks of each other.

What would happen if the countries of South America threatened to boycott the World Cup unless FIFA withdrew the award it invented for Trump?

Congressional R’s better do something about this, lest they want their states to suffer a similar fate in the next administration.

Dr. Nick Riviera at your service.

Any petitions going around to ask FIFA to retract Trump’s peace prize?

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

Shifting many pediatric vaccines into the category of shared clinical decision-making means in many red states governors and legislators will be pressured to strip them from school-entry requirements. Vaccination rates could fall sharply with stark regional differences in protection against disease

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

And on this kind of garbage hang the fates of nations

Kelly should put out another video.

Impeach for abuse of authority.

Hey did anyone notice that HHS terminated millions of dollars in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics? These grants were focused on sudden infant death syndrome, expanding rural access to care, and preventing fetal alcohol syndrome. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

This is hilariously weak after he threatened court martial.

"The College Backlash Is a Mirage" Americans are more pessimistic than ever about the value of a degree—but enrollment keeps going up. By @rosehorowitch.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I extremely hate the policies and personality of Donald Trump to an insane degree but I’d be offended if China sent in team to kill a bunch of our civilians and military personnel and kidnap our leader and his wife and then declare that they now “ran” the United States, this isn’t hard

People informed about the attack beforehand: NYT, WaPo, oil executives People not informed: Those with the sole power to declare war

This was a Ray Finkle level of choke in this game.

OMG. He missed it!

Yeah, all of a sudden this game became absolute bonkers.

So many absolute bangers on this list.

seems a little insensitive

I’ve been debating in my head over and over on whether we’d be better or worse off with Vance. But I don’t think Vance has much interest in getting involved in multiple foreign interventions at the same time.
