Republicans are communists. Here's the proof.

Trump is both an expert on soccer rules and doesn't know what a red card is. He's the Schrödinger's cat of the laws of the game.

USMNT: We've spent all the time since the Bosnia game crafting a winning strategy without Balogun. FIFA on Sunday: Oh, nevermind, he can play.

250 years of fighting these assholes

New article! Where is America going? On Trump's July 4 disaster, the stolen sovereignty of the US, the leftist primary wins, and the plan to merge the US and Israeli militaries. Also, Vanilla Ice: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/stop-colla...

Endless War™

This is disgusting as usual. More of the same partisan political speeches to active duty troops following the standard practice of Trump, Vance and Hegseth to violate a fundamental principle of the Republic. It’s also gross that more Republican vets don’t call this out. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I think there is more in the past between Ivanka and her father than we will ever know.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social is the best. If you can't handle the often disturbing truths, at least stay for the exquisite writing.

These takeaways are ... very good?

Far right controls Republican Party, backing policy that is extremely unpopular & dangerous for most of US People who control Democratic Party fight hard against Democratic Socialists, despite fact their policy is extremely popular & good for most of US

It's a classic sign of senile dementia: "Trump keeps bringing up the number 22." Taking out 22 ships in Iran war. 22 fountains. A pool built 22 years ago. A flight 22 hours long. A story on NYT's page 22. 22 specialists at Walter Reed checkup. 22 Nobel economists. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The Great Audacity of Mediocrity

So glad that Haberman and Swan are going to make millions more publishing a book based on things they discovered doing their actual job but withheld reporting until now so they could personally enrich themselves from the fascism.

This is the way.

Chuck Schumer would much rather have fascist Rs in control than progressive Ds. That's the whole issue, right there.

over at the newsletter I wrote about how grotesque levels of corruption on consumer privacy is literally killing U.S. troops, but our consolidated press is so captured and broken it can't make the real cause of the disease clear to anybody

The most curious thing about this is that our Beltway commentariat think that Platner has disqualifying problems from his tattoos to his sexual predatory emails, while the voters of Maine appear (so far at least) not merely unconcerned, but actually inclined to ridicule the commentariat about this.

Coach Tuberville believes that rioters who assaulted policemen on Capitol Hill on Jan 6, leaving 147 policemen requiring medical attention, should now be compensated through a slush fund run by Donald Trump.

Why is Vance giving this presser? Has President Sundowner been relegated to just talking about his ballroom and big arch? Has the transition begun?

Antichrist Fest 2026

Like taking a shit on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Maybe that's on his bucket list.

In October 2025, the Trump administration gave $20 billion to Argentina to help its president, Javier Milei, get reelected. Trump told Americans we'd all get cheap Argentine beef but he never followed through. Now he's scrambling to remedy his Dunning Kruger tariffs and failed war. Too late pal.

Klobuchar giving an assist to the Minnesota Republican Party. Useless. The moderates are useless.

John Roberts is an institutionalist only insofar as he’s committed to growing and preserving the power of the institution he controls. For decades he has wielded that power on behalf of oligarchs and theocrats to end America as we knew it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people. Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.” -- Exodus 32: 9-10

Michael Lewis's book The Fifth Risk is all about how the modern federal government was set up to reduce & eliminate a vast array of invisible problems, which it has done so well that it opened a door to wreckers who claim it did nothing, & are now making that lie true—with disastrous results

Trump should fire Hegseth immediately but he's too egotistical to do so. He's stupidly painted himself into a corner and all he can do is say he planned to do it. And the world suffers his incompetence.

I am increasingly persuaded that in addition to whatever legislative remedies are agreed upon, public hearings should be held to fully expose the raw corruption that fuels Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh and their ties to the cult of Opus Dei.

An astounding percentage of this debt, as a reminder, has gone to fund massive tax breaks on the wealthy during the two Trump administrations.

Chuck Schumer: - can no longer recruit and cultivate winning Senate candidates - is wildly out of step with Democrats on foreign policy - refused to endorse the most popular Democrat in America, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani There is no reason to keep him as leader. He must go.

As the Brits said in WWI: Lions led by donkeys.

Knives out in Trumpworld.

LISTEN⏵The shooter wasn’t the biggest evil at the #WHCD last night. That honor belongs to every journalist who thought it was a good idea to be there given the appalling treatment of the press by this rogue Trump regime. What the fuck were you thinking? (Reposts = agreement)

The Strait of Hormuz, ALREADY OPEN before we began bombing Iran, is open again. Yay! There's talk of an anti-nuclear agreement for the price of unfreezing $20B in frozen funds. Double yay! All in all, we'll have spent and/or transferred $52B to replicate the Obama deal, which he tore up. Triple yay!

I think MAGA are upset about all the failures -- the Epstein files, the increased prices, the unnecessary war -- but the tribe won't accept those reasons as enough to turn on Trump. However, being a heretic? Can't question my faith!

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

Be a shame if people kept spreading this depiction of Trump as the antiChrist.

🧵 This is the way.

@financialtimes.com @antoniacundy.ft.com investigates how Opus Dei has become central to the American conservative movement…Washington's corridors of power, this is a story about Opus Dei & the role it's playing in reshaping America. Please repost! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

This is so good and important. An expert in how democracies transition to autocracies brings the receipts in what is happening in America. Forewarned is forearmed.

Stop calling the department of defense by the fake tough unofficial name the fake tough babies gave it. By statute & still by statute, it’s the department of defense. Stop accepting this juvenile garbage masquerading as accomplishments. Be an adult. Demand our officials be adults

Today is the Day of Remembrance: Feb. 19, some 64 years since FDR signed EO 9066, which authorized the military to round up and incarcerate Japanese American civilians on the West Coast, leading to the eventual placement of 120,000 people in concentration camps. open.substack.com/pub/davidnei...

If every website removed their paywall for a week, you'd see how much of what's in the Epstein files was covered in real time. And you'd remember what actually happened in the first Trump term and how everything he's doing now was announced then. Paywalls are a massive self-inflicted wound.

We live in truly extraordinary times. A Republican president has totally abdicated on <checks notes> free trade, NATO, & the right to keep & bear arms. The corruption & lawlessness are not the only unprecedented things.
