Trump on his Iran deal: "Nobody has seen it, or knows what it is"

The members of the cult say high prices aren't a problem, because they'll just stop eating.

We wanted to understand conservative ideas about traditional nuclear families. So we talked to a conservative ketamine addict who has 20 kids by 12 different women.

it's hard to feel confident in your financial situation when an insane man who can barely pass a mental competency exam could strip it from you in a fit of pique because he got mad at a guy 15 levels of hierarchy above you in your company for not wanting to sexually abuse children with him

If my kid completely trashes his room, I don’t praise him for announcing the outline of a plan to clean it up.

Many of those who supported Trump’s unconstitutional war on Iran did so on the stated premise that he could get a better deal with the Iranian regime by using force as a negotiating tool. There was no good reason to believe Trump could accomplish this. This is the path Cruz and others endorsed.

Judge Amit Mehta when he sentenced the remorseless Rhodes to 18 years in prison: “I dare say, Mr. Rhodes—and I never have said this to anyone I have sentenced—you pose an ongoing threat and peril to our democracy and the fabric of this country.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-ongoin...

Trump invested between $500k- $1 million into Chipotle and DoorDash. Then Trump staged that DoorDash Grandma stunt to promote DoorDash. " he stepped out of the Oval Office at the White House for a photo op receiving a DoorDash delivery order from the fast food chain." people.com/donald-trump...

Last night it was "we're going to sign a historic deal any second," today Trump's back to "we've got all the time in the world, we're going to take our time, blockade stays in place."

The far right is being racist. Here's why it's the left's fault. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If you're not a Springsteen person and wouldn't encounter them otherwise, I encourage you to read his words and what he's been preaching at his concerts, quoted in this piece. It's good for the soul.

Let’s see how many articles/front pages @nytimes.com will dedicate to the failure—a clear strategic defeat—of Trump’s Iran war. I bet it’ll be no more than a couple of days bc the NYT’s editors & journalists are scared to death of Trump, spineless journalists. Compare that coverage to Biden’s 🇦🇫

U.S. officials privately told Iran that Trump’s social media posts are mainly intended for domestic media and political messaging, and should not be taken too seriously during negotiations.

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

This one still there too bsky.app/profile/musi...

more weird ai generated signs from Secretary Duffy

“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the U.S., or any of them.” [i.e. state govs]

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

Colbert unrestricted is going to be amazing

this appears to be status quo ante and agree to chat about nukes

This is bad. WH app to be installed on all govt-owned phones 1. The WH app is delivers blatantly partisan political content 2. Known to have weak security, including "shares the IP addresses, time zones and other data of users with third-party services" www.govexec.com/management/2...

An REI co-op member sitting peacefully in her camp chair -- reading a book, wearing a hand-painted "Boycott REI" shirt, warmly greeting customers -- got arrested by six police officers yesterday at REI's Seattle flagship. That's who REI called the cops on.

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

The 21-year-old suspect who opened fire at 17th & Pennsylvania NW, prompting Secret Service to shoot him, has died, according to White House officials.

Suspect taken to hospital after volley of gunshots heard near White House Lockdown appears to be over after Secret Service returns fire and civilian on the street shot

UPDATE: Secret Service officers shot and wounded two people near the White House, per CNN. Jennifer Jacobs of CBS News identifies the two people shot as the suspect and a possible bystander. x.com/JenniferJJac...

Lesley faculty ratify contract; Harvard, MIT unions feel stalled As one union celebrates, pickets may happen at commencement at the two major Cambridge universities.

"who was president from March 2020-January 20, 2021?" is one of the most fiercely contested questions in American politics

I see another ballroom hard sell coming.

ABC White House Correspondent Selina Wang was recording at the White House when she heard gunshots and took cover.

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

The first thing wasn’t an issue prior to the war. The second thing is an agreement to continue a pre-existing conversation. The third thing is the carrot to get the first and second things. That’s a great job of bargaining, just first rate stuff. 🙄

because I know y’all can’t click and read

With Trump‘s corrupt slush fund dominating the news, he needs a new distraction.

This is what he was too busy with to go to his son’s wedding.

Trump is showing more loyalty to ICE agents than to his own son.

not his first time hosting Only in Monroe

Colbert guest hosted a public access TV show in Monroe, Michigan a day after the Late Show ended. Guest star: Jeff Daniels Special appearance by: Eminem Musical director: Jack White Genius. youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4?...

I was going to say this is crazy but it’s not. There is a book by a medical sociologist called Dying of Whiteness about the supremacist politics some voters choose over their own lives (literally) & now we have a government that is using the same logic to make national policy.

Trump is paying the people who ransacked the Capitol for him. It is absolutely appalling.

The infantile Trump AI video is important for exactly one reason, as Jay Nordlinger notes

Stephen Colbert is a national treasure: The day after his show was canned after 11 years by CBS to appease a tyrant, he shows up on the Monroe, MI public access channel where he did his first Late Show broadcast in 2015.

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

It’s worth noting that when Jan. 6 happened, the pro-Trump right used dozens of conspiracy theories to try and offload blame from themselves—e.g., claiming it was “antifa,” “feds.” Now, they seem keen to just admit they did it—all of it—and it was good.

I really think there’s something to this. Being openly, brazenly corrupt has probably worked in Trump’s favor with some media & voters because they assume something truly scandalous has to be exposed, not broadcast.

Utah Republicans expanded the court to create two seats, bullied a justice into retiring, and now are benefiting from yet another retirement — and will be able to significantly re-haul the majority of the court.

On Reddit, Orange County residents are very justifiably angry that local authorities are posting vital evacuation information on X and Instagram…which both require accounts if you want to be able to view videos easily and completely. How many people use neither? This has got to stop.

"After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I also will sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America." Donald Trump, Inaugural Address, 20 January 2025
