I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

What Hegseth said today is that women and others are not welcome and if you stay the military will do its best to run you out and you will not advance, if you get raped that is just tough shit, and expect to be harassed.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Back in March, former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and I "sat" next to each other in Trump White House Victim Memorandum class. How pathetic and embarrassing to see a sitting US President continue to personally attack a private citizen. People still think this isn't authoritarian?

Good that Sinclair and Nexstar have relented on Jimmy Kimmel. However, they are still too big and still need to be kept in check.

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

Trump’s hated for Comey is so bizarre when you think about the fact that without Comey’s October 2016 intervention, Trump probably wouldn’t have won the 2016 election and wouldn’t be president today.

Christian Nationalist Ryan Walters is leaving his job as Oklahoma's Superintendent of Edukashun to spend more time with his unrequested displays of pornography.

Should this man be in any law enforcement position? Now ask this: do you believe this man will face any consequences for this violent assault on an unarmed, emotionally distressed woman? We can call in complaints to the DHS misconduct hotline: 1-800-323-8603 www.oig.dhs.gov/hotline

Just a Reminder ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Before you ask Google, or Siri, or Alexa, take a moment to think about the data farms that are destroying towns, generating heat, and using all the water. Is it really worth all that to just ask how to make sloppy joes?

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

Someone tell me if Kash Patel that makes his eyes look like that. If not, without getting to his politics this dude is scary as hell. I apologize if it is merely the result of a medical condition.

I practiced labor and employment law which, like real estate, utilizes the civil laws. Real estate is the same . It would be malpractice for me to handle a criminal case. She is not competent to handle this case so her staff will have to. Maybe she will sit w/them. Should be interesting.

It is going to take attorneys a very long time to regain the public’s trust. I guess power and greed make some attorneys forget their oaths. I am a fifth generation attorney and this breaks my heart.

If the Goebbels thing turns Katy Miller on she must have been in heaven this morning. I am guessing Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue made his mind explode.

Sinclair and Nexstar are already way too big and powerful. Their requested nerdier should not go through. The recent 1st amendment issues have taught us that. Oppose them.

They need to be broken up. Way too big aaand powerful.

I love Robert DeNiro.

Nextar, Sinclair,and the other company all need to be broken up.

Trump is not e leader of the free world. He is a dangerous rambling old fool.

Trumps $100K fee for future H-1B visas will harm our economy but few people are aware of it. The odd thing is that it will heavily impacted a lot of tech industries and the tech bris who have been kidding up to Trump.

Autism is not a disease. It’s a complex developmental condition better known as autism spectrum disorder that affects different people in different ways. https://to.pbs.org/3Iu6SVI

The Trump administration canceled grants for street safety, pedestrian trails, and bike lanes, citing that the projects “aren’t designed for cars.”

JD Vance and others are gaslighting us with respect to Charlie Kirk’s blatantly racist arguments (among other things). No one is defending Kirk’s shocking murder. Horrible. That doesn’t mean we should let Vance and MAGA lie about Kirk’s own words though: contrarian.substack.com/p/what-kirk-...

Just saw a clip of Trump greeting Musk at the Charlie Kirk spectacle. Odd that neither them sang the hymn the crowd was singing.

If our laws depend on Trump’s voluntary compliance — and Congress won’t lift a finger to defend the laws it has passed — then the president is unleashed. We are left to the whims of a man who cares about only himself, a man who is willing to discard any law or standard to satisfy his lust for power.

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, wriggling maggots and hairy caterpillars aren't pests — they're prized food — sold by the tub, fried with chili, and celebrated for their nutrition.

The Associated Press reported that Wilson said hours before Game 1 of the WNBA semifinal series against Indiana that the win still hasn't hit her and probably won't until the end of the season.

My Bible teaches not to worship prophets. I feel sorry for all of the evangelicals who are going exactly that. I hope they find their way back to true faith someday. ❤️

Insurers sometimes deny coverage citing lack of progress, labeling patients’ conditions as chronic. Yet if they do make progress, insurers have also used that to argue patients no longer need treatment. Doctors are left to walk a tightrope. (Published Dec. 2024)

It’s oddly comforting when people who push deeply immoral public policy are shown to be horrible people generally. Like, it would be unsettling if Homan were a straight arrow who paid for operations for orphans.

Also, remember that at this time the administration is targeting a ton of perceived enemies because they may have made a misstatement (or maybe didn't really) on a mortgage application to no actual benefit. “For my friends everything, for my enemies the law”

"AI Chatbot, how can that tacky simpleton from Queens make the United States look even more stupid and vulgar?"

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

AOC responds to the Tom Homan story.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

I drink a lot of honey mint citrus teas at Starbucks (about to be decidedly less). Since it is okay with StarbucksI will use tha name of every strong black woman I am aware of to order my tea. I will start with Constance Baker Motley, than Barbara Jordan, then Shirley Chisholm, the Kamala Harris…

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

How long until we start hearing about how people who make remarks inconvenient to the regime are falling out of windows?

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining
