1. A blockade is an act of war 2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨 3. It’s always about oil.

👀👀👀👀 We knew this already, but shocking to hear a prosecutor say it out loud.

Even at the beginning of WWII, U boats honored the law of the sea and picked survivors up. Later, a Uboat made it into a war crime and they were executed.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

I don’t have a clue. Dems offered the GOP a 1 year ACA subsidy compromise and the GOP told them to kick rocks. Longest shutdown continues, I guess.

Two months!

This. Also: 1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama. 2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile. 3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

“Senior federal officials have quietly counseled several agencies against firing employees while the government is shut down — as President Donald Trump has suggested he will — warning the strategy may violate appropriations law” Do* violate appropriations law

If a full accounting of Epstein’s crimes - and his accomplices - is ever made public, people on the left and the right are going to feel really dumb that we’ve been arguing with each other while the elites of both parties pal around and do abhorrent shit.

This is supposedly a stripper clip with the rounds found at the scene of the shooting in Dallas today. It’s like someone is intentionally trying to see what level of dumb shit the American people will accept as truth.

There’s another No Kings protest in October - it needs to massive.

Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”

Aside from looking very puffy, sniffing a ton, and rambling off track even more than normal, Trump doesn’t look bad. He seems to be recovering well from whatever the White House was hiding.

The 19 states deploying National Guard troops are: Alabama - Arkansas - Florida - Georgia - Idaho - Indiana - Iowa - Louisiana - Nebraska - Nevada - New Mexico - Ohio - South Carolina - South Dakota - Tennessee - Texas (largest deployment) - Utah - Virginia - Wyoming

WATCH: Texas Republican speaker “locks the doors” to keep Dems in until Trump gets his new maps and Republicans steal him 5 seats

Womp womp

🔥🔥WATCH: “Rappers are smarter than economists”👇🏽 @dossdiscourse.bsky.social explains more cops doesn’t lower crime it just means more money for private prisons— Addressing poverty/hunger/health care lowers crime… but Trump’s trillions transfer just made all that MUCH WORSE… meaning crime will rise.

Five months from today! #Historicalfiction

This is A+ trolling

I wonder if the MAGA tariff mental gymnastics is as exhausting for them as it is for me watching it

We do not, alas.

Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol. Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard. Make it make sense.

But who will hold him accountable to this?!

I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this. The most famous off-cycle redistricting was the Texas GOP in 2003. Dems left the state to prevent a quorum then, too. The GOP always uses the “rules for thee but not for me” playbook.

“The shooter was either sick or believed he was sick, and blamed his illness on COVID vaccine — which is why he was targeting the CDC.”

Remember when people told me I was being alarmist when I said they were cooking the books? Check out those downward revisions. 🤢

Vance is basically pretending to be supportive, but I’m fairly certain he’s working with Murdoch behind the scenes. The elites got everything they wanted from Trump, now it’s in their best interest to try and force him out. I don’t think it will work, but they seem to be going to try.

She’s absolutely right, and more folks ought to understand what Trump and his cronies are doing.

Folks ask what keeps me up at night? Lately, it’s been the thought of what happens when machines are tasked with making life and death decisions. I continue to explore the impact of AI on national security, from autonomous weapons to deepfakes. Free for everyone. www.patreon.com/posts/134286...

In an effort to win this contest, China is building hegemony by exporting not just its green products but also in a structural shift exporting its technology, engineering, supply chains, and financing. phenomenalworld.org/analysis/bri... www.ft.com/content/e517...

STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!!

The Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times has obtained a list of more than 700 people who have been detained or appear to be scheduled to be sent to the Florida-run immigration detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz.

Happy Independence Day!! #NoKings

Congratulations to the GOP for just losing the midterms.

They are the swamp.

GOP: this bill is fucking terrible. It’s going to kill people, explode the deficit, and completely kill the renewable energy market in the US. Also GOP: so anyway, here’s why I’m voting for the bill

Our intelligence confirms this - we have intercepts of high level Iranian officials who are surprised that damage at the nuclear facilities wasn’t worse. Trump is going to refuse to admit the truth, which increases the chances that Iran is able to reconstitute their program.

Trump is calling a bill that he doesn’t understand the only way to save America, and 50 people who mostly DO understand it - and hate it - just voted for it because the guy who doesn’t know what’s in it told them to. What a clusterfuck.
