OPINION: Of the nearly countless unforgivable and often corrupt acts of the Trump administration, very few register as dangerous and threatening as the total politicization of the Department of Justice.

The Constitution does not specify that the position of chief justice is a lifetime appointment. I'm not sure what the statutory limitations are, but in theory the president could fire the chief justice and name another one. He'd still be on the court, of course.

The DNC has a (NOT) working group, the Middle East Working Group. This ‘task force’ successfully thwarted a group of resolutions critical of Israel last week. Israel lobbyists are pleased the party remains unaligned with their base across the country. www.laprogressive.com/election-and...

Centaurus A never gets even 14 degrees above my horizon. I have a hill to my south and it just barely clears it. Here's a photo of it with my Celestron Origin and you can see the hill with blurry trees on it at the bottom of the image. @rami.spaceaustralia.com has a MUCH better view. ❤️ his video. 🔭

Fossil Fuels Are Not The Future….

These trucks should not be road legal. This guy claimed he couldn't see me after pulling out of a gas station and hitting my car in the turn lane (He also tried to claim it was my fault lol) I seriously just can't with these trucks. Couple that with texting and driving? Yikes.

In a 1991 documentary that Trump suppressed, Christopher Reeve comments on Donald Trump: "𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥."

Me when a game’s luck based mechanic lets me win when I don’t deserve it: I am a master tactician adroitly assessing probabilities and adapting to the circumstances like Napoleon. Me when it happens to me: This game sucks and my opponent is a pedophile who worships Satan and has ugly socks.

"What happened in Gaza is not the Holocaust. What happened in Gaza is a particular genocide that happened in Gaza. Very different from the Holocaust, but conforming to the definition of genocide by the UN, which... is the only one that matters." - Omer Bartov www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Right! The other day the myanmarese owner of our local cafe was chatting about how men looking for wives out there often end up with someone already married, who just uses them to send money home to their *actual* husband and kids. They might seem ‘meek’, but it’s effectively a paid acting role.

I feel like people are not understanding that the checks and balances that prevent misuse of power are gone when one party controls all three branches

Too many women being murdered. And a community that doesn't really seem to care. #EnoughIsEnough #SheMatters www.smh.com.au/national/vic...

Top trade partners of the European countries. Germany as a major exporter and major consumer market dominates this map.

Draft registration isn’t a choice anymore, it’s automatic. The question is, is the Trump administration quietly lining up young men for the next wars —the forever wars? Trump can’t pull a generation of young men into conflicts they don’t believe in & expect loyalty. He’s going to get resistance.

Evil, psychotic regime & terrorist “army”, both hugely popular, don’t forget, with its bloodthirsty population.

I called him Bambino when I found him on the side of the road because he was so small. After fighting injury and growing up you should see him now ❤️

Bessent spent 4 decades working with George Soros. He’s also a married gay man with adopted kids. Is that part of Project 2025?

Undocumented immigrants contribute $97 billion yearly in federal, state, and local taxes. They paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022. Bessent is galactically stupid. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/15/b...

As an atheist watching this 'battle of the cults' play out, I'll back the Catholic Church over MAGA every time.

"Politicians who have spent decades telling you that change is slow, complicated, and incremental should be paying very close attention. Because Zohran Mamdani just called their bluff." @qasimrashid.com Are you paying attention @albomp.bsky.social ? #auspol www.qasimrashid.com/p/zohran-mam...

1/2 Palantir is also getting its tentacles around Australian government contracts, in the defence dept and elsewhere. As well as enabling Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza, the company is closely aligned with ICE surveillance activities against Americans. #auspol

Iran has made Trump their fool for the whole world to see. Even his own base sees it.

OMG.

ALERT: Scott MacFarlane reveals new court filings showing Trump may receive a taxpayer-funded payout from his IRS lawsuit — while the DOJ also moves to return taxpayer money to pardoned January 6 defendants. Your tax dollars could be going directly to Trump and those involved in the Capitol attack.

I never thought I’d say this, but the British Royal Family has a deeper genetic pool than the U.S. Royal Family. #USA #UK #Royals #NoKings

Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth has come up with a way to motivate Iranians to kill more American troops. Instead of framing the war as being against the Iranian regime, which many Iranians dislike and wouldn't fight for, he talks of the war being against their Islamic faith. He's smart that way.

And there it is.... Update in Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against his own I.R.S., in which he seeks taxpayer-funded damages for the prior release of his tax records Trump legal filing says he's in "discussions" with his own I.R.S. to "avoid protracted litigation"

Samuel L. Jackson delivered it better… and at least he knew it was fiction. Even MAGA clocked Pete Hegseth’s bullshit. Next time, he should read this: “They claim to know God, but by their actions, they deny him.” — Epistle to Titus 1:16

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

No, but the U.S. is WAY ahead, per capita, in Darwin Award recipients than any other country. It’s the one are where it truly is America First. (COVID put us way ahead w/ deniers & Hydroxychloroquine overdoses)

Literally the most measles cases seen in my lifetime. Please vaccinate your babies and check your own immunity with your doctor. Measles is no joke. If you are unsure about the vaccine, please reach out to your doctor or trusted health professional.

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow. Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance. Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has been charged in Minnesota with two counts of second-degree assault after allegedly pointing a gun at civilians during a highway incident. A nationwide warrant has been issued; prosecutors say he was not acting in official duty.

Billionaires want you to blame your neighbors for the problems that concentrated wealth creates. The capitalists who suck up all the wealth are the ones who actually reduce your quality of life.

Man, you cut off one roadkill raccoon's penis and you never hear the end of it.

75-year-old widow. One of her stepsons, a cop, called ICE on her so he can grab as much as he can from the estate.

Oh yeah, this is a just a great idea (not) "Objection just went live with a radical proposition: let artificial intelligence decide what counts as legitimate journalism." It will, in the words of Gary McGraw, pick the "beigest," most boring pieces as possible. berryvilleiml.com/2026/03/12/o...
