Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

September 1, 1939: Using lies as justification, Hitler broke international law by invading Poland. February 24, 2022: Using lies as justification, Putin broke international law by invading Ukraine. January 3, 2026: Using lies as justification, Trump broke international law by invading Venezuela.

So, this should finally put to rest any delusions that there are decent people left in the US military who will stand up to illegal orders and protect democracy. The US military is now more likely to kill US citizens rather than help them. They are not our friends.

www.wsj.com/livecoverage... I'm gonna guess these folks knew all about the operation and have had their luxury suites/villas booked in 'Zuela for weeks and weeks.

The appropriate Democratic response is that the president is out of control. You don’t need to repeat his Maduro talking points. Stop being pussies.

Putin shows he can invade Ukraine with minimal reprisals. Trump shows he can take over Venezuela with minimal reprisals. It’s like they’re giving the nod to Xi Jinping to have a go?

🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

Yep. Politicians who mindlessly promote data centers are buying into a political liability. Data centers are even worse than the old 'subsidize my factory' scam, creating fewer jobs and draining local water & energy supplies, problems that will get increasingly worse under Trump's bad policies.

Not much of a surprise at all.

What is mifepristone, aka “the abortion pill”? A lot of misinformation and skepticism exist around the drug’s safety. However, decades of evidence have shown that mifepristone is extremely safe and very effective. Swipe to learn more about the medication. publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/what-is...

Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country." Really? Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.

This is such an odd statement that could only be made by a shallow and deeply damaged person. Mike Johnson is scoffing at making sure people don't die because giving tax cuts to billionaires is all he cares about.

This week's recall of this Costco product is due to a finding that some of the batch of green onions used in the Kirkland tuna poke bowls tested positive for listeria. No illnesses have been reported. So why the recall? Because listeria is a very bad news bacteria. Let give you two reasons why. 1/3

So, interacting with sycophants leads to increased self-perception ... hmmmm ...

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions. These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water. AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

Thanks, New Yorker

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

Fun trick: Every time Trump says ‘Antifa,’ swap in ‘MAGA’—suddenly, what he's saying becomes true.

Republicans are in charge of the Senate. Republicans are in charge of the House. Republicans are in charge of the Executive Branch. If the government shuts down and you honestly think Democrats are to blame, you're the reason shampoo bottles have instructions.

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

Chobani is facing a boycott after announcing a partnership with Planet Harvest, a company co-founded by Ivanka Trump. #BoycottChobani www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

If you take medical advice from these guys, the species will be stronger without you.

Dems in farm-belt states should probably just advertise with these charts.

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

If I were to find myself being Raptured (HIGHLY unlikely), I'd fight and scratch and claw my way back to Earth to avoid spending eternity with those gobshites.

Fireworks started going off in my neighborhood just after dark… is it time to celebrate for real?

kind of fun to imagine the rest of the world flying their flags at 1.5 mast in reverse mourning though

The hassle & uncertainty that has been created by the policy chaos around vaccination in US will deter people. We know one of the best ways to raise vaccine uptake is to make it easy for people—most are not antivax & in fact would prefer to be vaccinated, just have other priorities most of the time.

Hoarseness, a dry cough, and a sore throat are common symptoms of the new Covid variant called “Stratus,” in addition to the more common Covid symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and fatigue.

Republicans: "Downsize and eliminate NOAA and the NWS. We don't really need 'em." Also Republicans: "No one forecasted the storm accurately." Self-righteousness amidst self-destructiveness – a fundamental Republican behavior.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Trump's 'Big Brutal Bill' will give ICE a larger operating budget than the entire U.S. Marine Corps. So this is basically a workaround for Trump to violate the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

For the first time in the United States, the invasive longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) has been found carrying Ehrlichia chaffeensis, the bacterium that causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME), a potentially life-threatening disease.

I hope every news outlet leads with the fact that this is happening because Trump ended the Obama deal that prevented this.
