me, after posting a GWB quote on Bluesky

JP Morgan analysis: 1. Crisis 2. ???? 3. Crisis solved

I think the grade school level wisdom of “you know what happens when you assume” applies here

Feels like there is a certain group that exists in high numbers on here which must just presume PEPFAR was never created.

Tuberville was put on this earth for a single reason: He gave Louis Gohmert someone to feel smarter than.

Hegseth gets performatively indignant instead of answering Chris Coons's straightforward question about what the military's plan is for reopening the Strait of Hormuz (It's pretty clear there is no plan ... )

Still, not even remotely close to the real price tag. Smoke and mirrors.

Confederates never assimilated.

It's the Tommy Tubervilles of this nation that have failed to assimilate with this nation's creed.

The Bush Administration made multiple big mistakes and did some very wrong things; but the Administration's pushback against anti-Muslim bigotry was commendable and noteworthy. It's not a straight line from the GOP of 2+ decades ago to today.

This is not your parents GOP.

“Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow [Muslim] citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America, they represent the worst of humankind, and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior.” --George W. Bush, six days after 9/11

have unsubscribed from the dispatch so many times and yet...

National Guard troops were photographed playing arcade games satirizing Trump’s war in Iran in Washington, D.C.

The president’s mental health is a global crisis.

Remember those pieces about Trump’s reflective and sincere calls for bipartisan unity after the WHCD?

He’s testing how badly Blanche wants that formal AG nod.

The Supreme Court explains its thinking on the Purcell Principle

Truth Social may be a terrible business, but it gives an avenue for the President to post deranged things to his cult and not have the statements (usually) covered with much depth in the mainstream.

Trump shares a post calling for Obama to be immediately incarcerated and tried for treason

He’s crazy posting again

Why is the president sharing these videos on social media? (1/2)

He is welcome to leave it at any time.

Villain origin story

Circling back on this: DoD could have determined in short order that they were responsible for this attack and acknowledged as much—even while investigating how come the U.S. TLAM’d a bunch of children.

You need to read this horrifying and astonishing account of the genocidal murders in El Fasher in October 2025. These killings could have been stopped: unfortunately, the world did nothing and actively looked away.

I will never understand how a plurality of voters were like, “sure, it’s fine if we give this guy the ability to launch nukes.”

Such an eloquent and rousing defense of the administration’s maritime killing spree.

Cool cool “Mr. Kennedy is spearheading an intense push, across health agencies under his purview, for government scientists and federal data contractors to examine his long-held theory that vaccines are helping to fuel an epidemic of chronic disease” Gift link 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/h...

Trump: "We have a man who is doing a great job. I knew it! Because he kept me out of jail for years. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. He kept me out of jail."

DOJ has subpoenaed WSJ for its sources on the story about the warnings Dan Caine gave Trump before he ignored all those warnings and started a war anyway. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Creepiest man alive

James Comey: "Bill Barr ought to be on your show, talking about the dangers he sees, and that he thought [Donald Trump] should never be near the oval office again…Everybody who has a voice ought to be speaking up."

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

people used to get mad when Michelle Obama publicly spoke about kids eating healthy food

Not cool when the grandparents or would-be grandparents do this, and very much less cool when the State does it

WTF

Surely this time he is not lying to us about the progress on a deal.

Floating oil inventories at sea beginning to dwindle — plus, China relying less on domestic crude stockpiles — will make the coming weeks very interesting.

This + mass deportation + whites-only refugee policy. You do the math.

The “even if it’s illegal, why won’t you let me get away with this*” succinctly captures why the man is wildly unfit for the presidency

NEW: Secret Handshake installed working arcade games called Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell at the DC War Memorial. The game features "furious tweet battles against Iranian schoolgirls, low-flow shower heads, and other threats to American freedom like DEI and The Pope..."

Ghoulish stuff, and deeply counterproductive. The message this sends to immigrant communities is “Do not call the police. If you saw a crime? No you didn’t. If you were a victim of a crime? No you weren’t. If you see a cop? Run.”

192 murders.
