Quite literally the only reason to tell people this is to convince them to commit crimes

Some huge developments over the past 48 hours with Trump's World Liberty Financial. (If you're a reporter looking for a story idea...)

Years and years of "what is a woman" discourse only to settle on a definition that includes 15-year-olds.

the primary thing people associate Bill Clinton with is lying about a blowjob, because Republicans made a spectacle of forcing Democrats to defend him over it now imagine if Democrats used the same strategy for something like the president threatening to end an entire civilization

It's going to be fitting if Trump eventually negotiates all the way to "the Obama Deal but gas is now $10 a gallon"

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

the "wellness" industry is a fucking scam

Over half of Americans want Congress to impeach Trump now, according to a new poll. One in seven Republicans backs it.

✈️ FVCKJET TO EVROPE 😲 We don’t know who is aboard, but it’s definitely heading for Ireland/UK 👀

In presentations I used to explain how the “calories burned” on a particular health bracelet was just a guesstimate based on dodgy “activity” tracking & (the terrible) BMI. The layers keep getting added, creating a sort of “whisper down the lane” of vague assumptions & averages.

The US needs to develop new words for describing chicken fingers so you know what kind of breading and meat texture you are getting before ordering. Like the inuits who have 10 words for "ice" depending on texture and consistency etc.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

This is actually kinda important, regardless of how much everyone wants to dunk

Donald Trump is using foreign steel to build his gold-encrusted ballroom. It's a slap in the face to every American steelworker. "America First" was always just a slogan to Trump.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

Get ready, the post-market friday shitshow is coming once again.

"Like Musk, Jack Dorsey, and Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman has benefited greatly from a U.S. tech press pathologically obsessed with mythologizing terrible white men with a lot of money." - @karlbode.com:

Sam Altman's routine involves latching onto powerful people and exploiting their greed and lust for power. His co-conspirators - Microsoft, SoftBank, NVIDIA and some members of the media - are responsible for any harm that follows. edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...

One of my grandfathers was a sheriff in indiana and let me tell you... When i call out that sheriffs are barely law enforcement and far more just politically elected profiteering... Yeeeeaaahhh

Voila. There you have it, but more is coming... www.thedailybeast.com/what-epstein...

My speculation: Michael Wolff has said Epstein told him the first time Trump and Melania had sex was on Epstein's Lolita Express Jet. He might release the audio of their interview or a similar story might confirm some of the sordid details. Melania is trying to get ahead of it.

Lol how the fuck does florida have jurisdiction to investigate on national security matters
