What kind of drug runner gets into a gunfight with Cuban coasties in daylight? CIA / DOD isn’t this stupid. I don’t reflexively believe the official MOI version of events, but I do believe there’s a bottomless capacity for MAGA Floridian Adventurism. Bay of Pigs, but with Chuds & a Kick stream.

What a shock. Donald Trump and his lackeys will be held responsible for the violence and damage they’ve done to our nation — and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure of it.

watching a guy with 8.8M subscribers put out this propaganda: there's a transnational far-right power grab and you're not ready for it

Trump’s goons detained a blind guy who was here legally, then set him loose at a fast food stop without telling anyone where he was, and now he’s dead.

One thing to add: Democrats really shouldn’t fear to be anti-ICE. It’s specific, unlike “defund the police.” If asked, say “Of course I support enforcing the law. ICE isn’t doing that. They’re breaking laws—really important laws, like the Bill of Rights—not enforcing them, which why I oppose ICE.”

uuhhhhhhh not good *FOUR US SPEEDBOAT PASSENGERS SHOT DEAD BY CUBAN COAST GUARD:AFP

By promoting the writer who says Blacks need to be policed harder and dismisses Epstein concerns as a hysterical attack on age gap relationships, Jared Polis, Matt Yglesias, Gavin Newsom etc. signal their anti-woke bonafides. Basically “I’m not like those other libs, I’m one of the cool ones.”

This Senate will probably end up confirming her though.

IDF intentionally killed the most famous Arab American journalist in the world

The State of our Union is we have twice elected as president a man who stands accused of raping a child. And at present, he is using his power to ensure investigative reports by the FBI -- which found the complainant credible enough to conduct 4 separate interviews -- stay hidden. That's our Union.

COLLINS: In 2021, you began using psychedelic mushrooms. Do you stand by encouraging people to try them? MEANS: There's exciting work in that area C: What about when you heard an internal voice whispering, 'it's time to prepare'? M: In my meditations I had a sense something ominous was coming

Means is another example of the trust trap.

BREAKING via the LA Times The FBI is currently raiding the home of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho and LAUSD headquarters.

TRUMP ON TRUTH SOCIAL: THEY SHOULD ACTUALLY GET ON A BOAT WITH TRUMP DERANGED ROBERT DE NIRO, ANOTHER SICK AND DEMENTED PERSON WITH, I BELIEVE, AN EXTREMELY LOW IQ, WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING OR SAYING — SOME OF WHICH IS SERIOUSLY CRIMINAL! WHEN I WATCHED

I think Trump and Vance will never stop blaming Biden and pushing this lie. Inflation in January 2025 was 3 percent. At the end of 2025 it was 2.7 percent. They really think they can win over voters who see higher prices on food and housing with this crap?

ICE's stocking of armories of military armaments for its rapidly growing masked militia, and establishment of a national network of ad hoc concentration camps, together signal the creation of an "internal security" police force that looks disturbingly like those of the Hitler and Stalin states.

Is it bad when you have Col Lockjaw behind you, nodding along to your claims about female contraception?

Top of the NYTimes right now. Good. Genuinely: Good for the New York Times.

Every news outlet in the country could've ran a front page "Trump child rape accusations illegally purged from Epstein files in massive coverup" headline and they all chose "Good boy Trump nails speech!" instead.

They like Trump and want to help him tyrannize us. Accomplices

Why am I craving a slutty ass hot dog really bad tonight

“This message is brought to you tonight by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is solely responsible for its content.”

The only interesting thing that could happen at this event has not.

Much like the Senate confirmation process, the State of the Union has outlived its purpose

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

I hope Katy Tur is happy with her Lord Haw Haw husband

Yes this is where I am too. We're gonna get through this but it's gonna be fucking awful for awhile and the horrors we find out about afterwards are gonna rip us up, but Woke 2 is coming and sooner than you think. And I'm pretty well established as a Johnny Doomer around here.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

This was Trump’s last state of the union speech. A Democratic speaker can simply not invite him to do another one, and that’s just table stakes at this point. That is not the main reason to retake the House, but it sure is a nice addition.

Pathetic

Evil stuff really.

I know zippo about Texas politics and have no dog in the fight. But. We gotta reset this shit and stonewalling the Epstein Class media hacks is always a strong move. These people aren't your friends. They think they're kingmakers. They're losers.

As expected, Donald Trump continued to mislead the American people about his record. His delusion was on full display as he lied about the economy, launched personal attacks against Members of Congress, and showed his focus is on himself.

Fox News' Harold Ford Jr., who is supposed to represent the liberal/Democratic side, reacts to the State of the Union by trashing Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib before saying "this would be a great night for the president."

After spending the last year wreaking havoc on our communities, Donald Trump yet again spewed lies and attempted to gaslight the American people. We endured baseless claims, shameless propaganda, and the ramblings of a wannabe dictator outlining his plans to steal our elections.

Rep. Troy Nehls, who is 57, begs Trump to sign his Trump-themed tie: "Initial it. Just an intial."

Trump's speech was under two hours, which bolsters the thesis that the leaks about it being more than two hours were meant to work the prediction markets

CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

The biggest presidential scandal and coverup in American history

I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself. The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.

I love when Trump goes from delightedly describing violent crimes to sleepwalking through an attempt at inspirational poetry.

The president — who avoided military draft — just said he's "always wanted" to be awarded the congressional Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration.

Like he's getting rinsed in the midterms. There's no question. I guess all these people think Argentina has plenty of room. They know their political careers are over when he's done, right? This isn't a show of strength it's an old man's birthday party

If they were afraid that Republicans would simply fill in the empty seats with guests, they could have waited until just before he entered (or just after he entered) and filed out.

Democrats were afraid to boycott the SOTU because they feared Republicans would then do the same to a Democratic President. But if they don't ring the alarm and Trump becomes the dictator he clearly wants to be, they won't ever have to worry about that. Time to say this is no longer normal.

I mean this is the entirety of conservative media ecosystem they're all trapped in with the lies they need to make it through the day

Why is he the only one holy shit

Mark Warner????

US media is exactly why we're here in the midst of this utter madness.
