Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.

one of the reasons we need more non-americans writing high fantasy is because I am sick and tired of storylines where declaring independence is the mark of an immature ultranationalist and not a completely valid policy choice a polity may make

A statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein styled like Jack and Rose from Titanic appeared on the National Mall today, showing the two figures standing on a ship’s bow with their arms outstretched in the film’s famous “King of the World” pose.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans. (Published July 2025)

First day without snow in the yard! Piet spend the whole day running, jumping, and exploring. Now he’s completely conked out.😄

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it". Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense. (Source: RB Hubbell)

I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language? Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries. So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together. zenodot.app

Citizens United is destroying democracy.

They don’t make old rockers like they used to do.😄

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

If a bunch of out of touch boomers didn't rush everyone back to work instead of a hybrid model, the rise in gas prices wouldn't hurt as much.

The Republican Party:

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia. Full breakdown on this and more from my Weekend Update on my Substack page: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-vi...

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

Trump ordered more ammunition 4 months before he started a war with Iran, but he didn't fill the strategic oil reserves before disrupting the US' oil supply. Bigly genius at work.🙄

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

“Exquisite Class” weaponry? Sounds like they ordered from Temu.🙄

Oh. “We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

Translation: Another week or two of fuel prices skyrocketing and the Market going in the crapper and we'll declare a great victory in Iran cause we say so.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Like clockwork.

good news. kristi noem has already found eight new jobs

Korean Hair Extensions: $670 Botox: $530 Lip Filler: $475 Misquoting Orwell while being the last person in the room to know you've just been fired: PRICELESS

Today the SEC filed a proposed final judgment to settle their lawsuit against Justin Sun and his businesses for $10 million and no admission of wrongdoing. Sun has spent between $112 million and $233 million on contributions to Trump-linked crypto firms.

That's what you need in DHS, someone who can't think 2 minutes ahead and thinks everything can be solved by beating someone up.🙄

If Americans had more faith in each other, their government, and society, just imagine what could happen.

Off to the gravel pit with her.

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody. He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again. Why do we need to fund this murderous agency? www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

THOUSANDS OF FILES RELATING TO THE EPSTEIN CASE HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFFLINE MORE THAN 40,000 FILES WERE MISSING from documents that had been posted to the PEDO's DOJ’s website ... INCLUDING THE DOCUMENTS THAT DETAILED ONE CHILD’S ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AGAINST PEDOrump PEDOPHILE PROTECTORS!

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Texans have been hollering about voter suppression. My county has 3 voting polls open today. 2 are small churches, the other is near the military base. One is in a 1k pop town 40 miles away from the other two. The 100k college town 20 miles from each polling place has no polling place open today.

It's interesting how the justifications for starting a tariff war and starting all these military wars have been so similar: the world has been conspiring against us for years, they treat us with disrespect, it was insufferable, etc. It's like America is a paranoid jealous husband.

Pete Hegseth: “War is hell and always will be.” Tommy Tuberville: “It’s war, it’s gonna git worse before it gets better.” Markwayne Mullin: “War is ugly.” Mike Johnson asked why War Powers Act is being ignored: “It’s not a war because it’s defensive in nature and design.”

Propaganda in action.

Because the Prime Minster of Israel is telling the stupid buffoon in the White House what to do?

⭕Une manifestation à #Boston, aux #États-Unis, pour condamner l'agression contre #l'Iran et exiger sa cessation.

we’ve reached the point where the american system of government seems no longer to exist at the federal level. the executive no longer abides by our laws and clearly hates our constitution. congress has demonstrated a similar contempt. the constitution is a dead letter except where convenient.

You can't even make the Mission Accomplished joke because no one knows what the mission is.
