Sadism is the lifeblood of MAGA politics. Hard to overstate how disgusting and embarrassing for our country it is for the US Secretary of Defense to be doing this:

BREAKING on MS NOW:   Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."

Has drugs ≠ Making war These are distinctly different things, and it’s important to maintain a grip on reality in the face of fascists trying to destroy it. There is no possible way any of the people on these US-attacked boats could get “back in the fight” because they weren’t ever in one.

oh my god, he admit it x.com/Acyn/status/...

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

We don't need a Dem candidate who sides with the billionaires. We just don't. And I guarantee y'all that if you nominate this guy you will live to regret it. He's also got a habit of vetoing really good bills because the billionaires don't like them. We can do better.

Stop appearing on far-right propaganda networks. Stop posting on their trash sites. Stop sitting on panels with them. Stop being friends with them. Don't shake their hands. Don't try to meet them halfway. Don't gotta hand it to them. Ever. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Reconstruction 2 is going to require a level of seizing assets that I am very comfortable with but you may still need to work through

expanding the court is the moderate position

JFC! MS NOW just reported that Pete Hogsex just authorized & carried out ANOTHER strike on another boat tonight. They are not backing off. They are intentionally poking us in the eye. Consequences are essential or we're going to lose control of the military all together. The goal is normalization.

Canada has a stake calling out Pete Hegseth's murder on the seas. In June 1918 the hospital ship Llandovery Castle was sunk. The U boat murdered survivors in the water including 14 Canadian nurses. Canada never forgot or forgave. We have prosecuted war crimes ever since. Sucks to be you Pete.

Did you know Trump has added 2.2 trillion to the national debt since taking office 10 months ago?

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

BREAKING: Federal grand jury REFUSES TO INDICT New York Attorney General Letitia James again

Pretty notable, in my view, that Kagan points out the Supreme Court's pro-gerrymandering decision in Texas is a step-by-step instruction manual for states to draw discriminatory maps while ducking judicial review, and the majority has...nothing to say in response www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Apparently, this is a kind of stunt to thrill the base. They pick a fight with a celebrity and then the base gets to do a 2 minutes hate on the celebrity. It's probably more exciting when she is a talented young woman. Just as the anti-abortion movement used the thrill of screaming at young women.

Your grocery bills and expenses are lying to you, folks. Hassett will send you an email.

Among Republicans - " The Holocaust of Jews and Nazi Germany was greatly exaggerated or did not happen as historians describe" Disagree: 56% Agree: 37% Manhattan Institute / Oct 26, 2025

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

I am a woman who joined the Let’s Rethink Chicks Having The Right To Vote Party and I am concerned they do not take me completely seriously, somebody please help me

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing. Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war. They voted to confirm him anyway.

losing my mind at the 25% of GOP voters who think most Italian Americans are "more loyal to a foreign country than to the United States."

Trying to not drown justifies murder apparently. If they’d have just drowned they wouldn’t get bombed again.

Does anyone vote for a political party because they know they’ll just give up and roll over? That doesn’t make any sense. That’s a reason to never vote for them again. I have ditched 2 parties for this very reason. One of them actually fought this week.

Newsom’s comms team still going hard

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

NEW: Jim Jordan and House GOPers refused to let the American public hear directly from Jack Smith, per his attorney.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.

Horny nihilist media critics/radical centrist pundits: "whatever else you think of her, Olivia Nuzzi is a brilliant prose stylist" Olivia Nuzzi:

Imagine considering yourself a “journalist,” and not reporting this out at the time so you could save it for a book no one will buy.

Lemme get this straight... Mike Johnson, 3rd in line to the throne, doesn't "follow the news" or have the slightest idea what is going on in either the country or the world? That alone should be enough to get him thrown out on his ass.

Take a moment to watch performance artist Guillaume Juncar. You won’t regret it.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Kristi Noem: "Sir, you made it through hurricane season without a hurricane. You kept the hurricanes away. We appreciate that."

Trump: "I should get the Nobel Prize"

She seems nice

Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

So, to recap: Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth. Pentagon says fake news. White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it. Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men. This isn’t going well.

That's cool. That being said, if DC Democrats were as left leaning as they claim to be, they would have installed Universal Healthcare and made it law when Biden was in office, prosecuted drumpf for sedition, made cannabis legal nationally, and expanded the SC. Oh, and filed 147 indictments:

In college, I had to read the Department of Defense’s Law of War manual. I kid you not when I tell you that firing at the shipwrecked is quite literally provided as an example of an illegal order.

Opinion | The state of Louisiana owes $172 million to three men who coached or will coach the LSU football team. Here's my scolding op-ed about a blue state's investment in a middle school math tutoring program.

Per a new report, Kash Patel refused to exit his plane without an FBI jacket, but the only one that would fit him was a woman’s jacket. Then he demanded SWAT patches for it. www.scribd.com/document/958...

‼️‼️

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.
