Insecure masculinity is just toxic fragility wearing a tactical vest.

Seattle welcomes Zuckerberg's megayacht.

A Google engineer made $1.2M on Polymarket betting on who would be announced as the most searched person of the year was just arrested for insider trading. People need to realize only government officials get away with that blatant a degree of insider trading.

The most corrupt administration in history:

Donald Trump is using the United States Department of Justice to go after a woman he raped. I feel levels of anger beyond comprehension.

Your reminder that Trump is explicitly named as a rapist in the Epstein files and Trump's administration is still violating the law by not releasing the files.

WTF. Did we suddenly regress 30 years? Doesn’t mater what American’s think. Facts are facts and we are fucked!

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

An FBI agent told me to my face once that there were so many moving pieces, that I would likely end up with more charges than my trafficker. Full disclosure, this is the america ive always known.

These morons actually think airlines are going to divert all international flights from NYC, NJ, CHI, LA, SF, DEN, PHI, SEA and other cities to red states because of Markwayne’s edict. Stunningly stupid.

Allow me to translate what Scott Bessent is actually saying here:👇 “As Donald Trump, my dear leader, said to me just yesterday - fuck all the people who are struggling to afford gas & groceries. Fuck em. I want my face on this new $250 bill.”

Every state that has the power to do this, should. Though I imagine we would watchJan 6ers flock to wholly red states to live. cbs6albany.com/news/local/a...

Not surprised at all.

Young MC has joined Morris Day in announcing he won't be performing for the Freedom 250 concert which was announced all of 12 hours ago. I've been working concerts since 1996 and this is one of the strangest things I've ever seen. It's looking very much like the talent buyer lied to the artists.

Corruption in plain sight. It will take a decade to fix this debacle. #TrumpCorruption

🚨 “THEY’RE ATTACKING PROTESTERS… FOR NO REASON AT ALL.” 🚨 Pepper spray is now being deployed during chaotic clashes between ICE agents and protesters outside Delaney Hall ICE prison on Day 7 of the hunger/labor strike. @jordanchariton.bsky.social⬇️

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

Donald Trump: "Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we'll have to blow them up." The "no more foreign wars" president just threatened to attack yet another country.

NEW: The $1.8B slush fund is NOT A SETTLEMENT. And now, 35 former judges have filed a motion to REOPEN the Trump/IRS case so the judge can commence an inquiry into whether the court was deceived. I've been sayin!! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Welp

BREAKING: Ethics complaint just filed against Pam Bondi — & it's damning She ran DOJ like a weapon — & now 100+ scholars, retired judges & retired FL Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy Quince — joined by @democracydefendersfund.org @ldadorg.bsky.social & LFRL — are holding her accountable -TN

"This was...a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom....Today, CBS management is...choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it."

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇳 The United States did not join a joint statement by nearly 50 UN member states condemning Russia’s new threats to strike Kyiv and calls to evacuate foreign embassies. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/u-s-declines...

The moral character of Ken Paxton...

Well put!

This was shortly after she took Ken back and supported him during his impeachment trial where one of the charges was that someone his office was investigating got the case dropped after he remodeled Ken’s other mistresses’ kitchen. Ken started a new affair not long after.

A crook requires a crooked lawyer.

how did we go from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building data centers everywhere

He was and remains among my favourite musicians. Never a day passes without listening to his genius. RIP the great Sonny Rollins

MSM needs to stop saying ceasefire. Israel never stopped bombing. Nobody believes this tired propaganda.

Donald Trump told Texas Republicans to turn back a four-term incumbent senator and to vote for a man who is basically a walking Thomas Nast illustration of corruption and the cult members said, yes sir, right away, sir.

Talarico: "I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment." 💀

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel killed nearly 100,000 people in about 1,000 days in Lebanon and Gaza with weapons supplied by 51 countries. That means Israel killed ~100 people every day for ~1,000 days with complete impunity.” M.Safa, UN Why is Canada still trading with Israel?

“I aced my quarterly, semi-annual, monthly physical. The doctors said, ‘Sir, we’ve never seen such a healthy leper before.’ Then I took my cognitive test, which consisted of calculating the square roots of very complicated numbers.” — Senile Satan

His son is a paid strategic advisor for Kalshi, and a major investor and advisor for Polymarket. The Trump administration is using taxpayer money to protect his family’s investments. This is what corruption looks like.

The UFC fight on the White House lawn is a disgrace. History will remember this being an extreme low for our nation, among many other lows we keep bumping up against

I'd like to propose that we drain all of Sam Altman's blood and then offer to sell it back to him at cost.

Dear @cnn.com :: small correction :: I’m seeking $8.647 million.

60 Minutes exposes a massive insider trading ring making millions by betting on highly classified US military operations in Iran with a 98 percent win rate. Washington insiders are literally using secret Pentagon intelligence to rig prediction markets! #cdnpoli

Historians are never going to have to question whether what Trump says is true or not it's simply going to come down to how to edit the 1,000s of lies down to some of the most important.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Qatar's official spokesperson for Ministry of Foreign Affairs and advisor to the prime minister is now publicly denying reports that it “offered” Iran $12 billion to secure a deal, calling the claims an attempt to sabotage diplomacy and undermine regional de-escalation efforts

I put in eight years at Twitter and did what I could. But it became clear that the new algorithm throttled what reach I once had. Realized staying there was just giving cover to a right-wing project. So I left. If you think "we" need to stay there or "we" can make a difference, you're delusional.

Before people think this Trump surrender in Iran is a one off, remember: Trump negotiated the deal with the Taliban that lead to our shameful withdrawal.

No One be Surprised! Read the Response….

Because yeah, he couldn’t have done that.
