Am I the only one that thinks Kara Swisher is nothing more than a self-promoting gasbag?

I read an actual print edition of a legacy paper today and it was fucking marvelous

@kenwhite.bsky.social @radiofreetom.bsky.social So he’s getting pardoned and receiving the Medal of Freedom, right?

Welp, that'll get him access to TWO pardons. Well done, Trump!

Can the Democrats please purge David fucking Hogg

Jesus these sites are chock full of bullshit accounts spouting performative nonsense

This kind of logic is why Democrats have a tough time winning in red leaning states

I might hold off on assuming the FBI really HAS solved the pipe bomber. THey've upped rewards and suggest an open source reviewer was involved. Could be more gait analysis.

No matter what they say or what Party they are in the prime motivator for 99.9% of all politicians is reelection.

NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution. Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors. Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture. www.justice.gov/pardon/media...

Almost as slimy as Trump himself are the number of social media accounts and podcast hosts who have managed to monetize their *resistance*

As I said when Hegseth got in, the Guard is primarily composed of two types: former active duty who want or need to keep their hands in, and the civilian who wants education money, job training, feels duty, etc. There is a small minority who literally wants to play soldier. That is Hegseth.

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.

Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

They haven't even fully ramped this up yet. Republicans just threw a mountain of money at this shit show. It's very likely to get worse from here before it ever gets better.

Steve Bannon, the man millions of MAGA fans trust to tell it like it is, stands revealed as one of the most cynical liars ever to mar this country. lnk.thebulwark.com/48p9ywR

Utterly disgraceful.

@dicknixon.bsky.social It appears, sir, that the Senate is going to use this opportunity to make Hegseth go away.

Democrats will take back the House in ‘26 and interpret that to mean their agenda is popular. They will be wrong.

Fox News legal contributor Andy McCarthy knocks down Hegseth's defense: "Neither Hegseth’s statement nor the explanation attributed to Bradley ... makes legal sense. ... It cannot be a defense to say, as Hegseth does, that one has killed because one’s objective was 'lethal, kinetic strikes.'"

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached. Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at? Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

I’m pretty sure Stephen Miller has an autographed picture of Satan above his bed

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

Rep. Don Bacon: " The initial peace agreement from last week was for Ukraine to give up more land, to reduce the size of its army, have to not be allowed to join NATO…It really was a surrender document."

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Trumpy’s going to cancel income tax now. He’s a giver.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

Fani Willis is an excellent illustration of the concept that MOST Americans are super-deferential to prosecutors to the point of ignoring their bad behavior, so long as the prosecutors are going after someone the Americans in question don’t like.

We are so far down the rabbit hole now that the fact that the Trump administration is basically in cahoots with the Russians to screw over Ukraine in a cease fire deal barely rates a blip on the news radar screen

We can all have this. Go to a shelter.

Trump is aging quickly and as the reality of his own mortality sinks in, he will become more dangerous.
