Israeli soldiers have looted civilian property in southern Lebanon on a large scale, according to testimonies from IDF personnel, Haaretz reports.

My conservative aunt (Catholic btw) said she supports Trump over the Pope because of the pedophilia scandal in the Church. I have news for you about Trump….

Dear Pope Leo, please join me and my army of sweaty otherwise-unemployables as we do racist state violence. This will change your mind.

🧵 I want to crack down on Big Tech as much as anyone, prob more than most.

everything about this is pathetic

Democrats in the Senate introduced bills to end Trump’s war with Iran on: March 4 March 18 March 24 April 15 April 22 (last night) Republicans blocked it. Every single time.

Their attitude toward gerrymandering is like their attitude toward "free speech." One set of rules for themselves; another set of rules for everyone else.

please continue injecting this shit into my veins after literal decades of “suck it losers” preening from republicans every time they get called out for horribly gerrymandered bullshit the shoe is on the other foot and I simply cannot get enough you want to end this? unfuck your own districts too

On the high point every company that has ever bought Warner has come out the other side either bankrupt or severely close to it.

Glad to see this action from the AG. Gas companies are not taking the climate crisis seriously and shouldn't be able to get away with that. #mapoli commonwealthbeacon.org/energy/ag-ca...

Poll commissioned by Cook Political has the Generic Ballot in battleground seats as D+6, meaning a seat Trump won by 10pts or less is in major danger Dems have a very big lead on the economy, and Fox has Dems D+4 on trust to handle the economy well. Their first lead since 2010

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

they're not bigots, but quoting them verbatim is unacceptably offensive

I don't like Schumer, but this is perverse and unprofessional, and I really wonder about that Democratic Senator who called Mullin a "friend." Absolute fair play if Schumer confronts him and says, "Still friends?"

At 33 points, Trump’s approval rating is official lower than his felony count.

“When Democrats’ own voters complain about their party in their own words, the complaint is not that Democrats are too liberal or “weak and woke”, it’s that they’re not fighting hard enough, particularly against Donald Trump.”

It’s been a real banner year for “that guy who gives off those vibes? Yes it turns out it was completely correct”

“‘It’s akin to a fire department inviting arsonists to a gathering aimed at celebrating firefighting,’ wrote Oliver Darcy in his media newsletter, Status.”

This kind of antifeminism is a socialism of fools, wherein working class resentment at exploitative elites is diverted into anger at feminized phantasms, like “HR.”

Watching the sharp divide over the last couple of years between Tesla’s inflated stock price and their ever-dwindling sales of actual vehicles made me realize how irrational & corrupt markets really are.

Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.

Kash Patel is disputing the Atlantic’s claims that he spends $1500 a week at bars. The real number, he says, is much larger.

According to the WSJ, Hegseth abruptly fired the Navy Secretary in the middle of a crucial wartime naval blockade because he was jelly of his closeness with Trump. These are the dumbest, most embarrassing, childish nitwits alive - and they are in charge of the world's most monumental military might.

Xavier Becerra's "I'll do whatever works and is popular" line was so funny to me because it was so peak politician.

Shocked to see so many glowing reviews of the second season of Beef. I could barely make it through the first episode. Melodrama with shallow character-writing and insufferable music

To celebrate Earth Day, House Republicans voted to repeals the requirement for federal buildings to phase out fossil fuel-generated energy consumption in new and renovated federal buildings and voted to weaken the Clean Air Act.

Hilton: "My plan is for $3 gas" OK, my plan is for strawberry ice cream. I have no way to do that, much like the governor of California.

I'm watching the #CAGov debate, & all these answers on the gas tax are pitiful. Nobody came close to saying the reason gas prices in California are high: we have 100-year-old refineries routinely holding the state hostage, & branded gasoline is $1/gal higher than non-branded, which is theivery

Pardoning her should be a nonstarter. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

He’s a whole weirdo.

Trump is robbing you to enrich himself and his friends.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani. Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
