Moldova’s President Maia Sandu demonstrates not only leadership, but also what today appears to be a scarce commodity: decency

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out. My friends are so insanely brave.

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

The GOP thinks this is different than their own gerrymandering bc they see this as people not in the Herrenvolk getting disproportionate representation. They don’t think liberals & city voters are real Americans, so when they do it it’s fine. They have told us this, here in WI & across 🇺🇸, for years:

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

You all started it and we fucking finished it.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went hunting for dinosaur bones in the Dakotas with child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

This year, the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Pairs Team is represented by: • A Japanese and Chinese Hawaiian • A Michigan guy (You'll notice a trend here) • A Hong Kong and Taiwanese Texan • A Japanese American and Army soldier who is studying to become a chaplain! That's what makes America great.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Meanwhile, drones struck a plant in Russia's Tver Oblast The target was the Redkinsky Experimental Chemical Plant — a large facility producing special chemical components for Russia's aviation and defense industry, including fuel additives and special reagents used in military and dual-use programs

This is how Nixon fell—not that the old McCarthyites and Young Ratfuckers were more moral then, but that they saw the writing on the wall just like when they threw McCarthy under the bus to reassure the Middle they weren’t ALL lawless freaks—

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Reporter: Did you see that the VP Vance got booed at the Olympics? Trump: That’s surprising because people like him. He doesn’t get booed in this country.

If he’s talking, he’s lying—except when he’s boasting about hurting people or wanting to hurt people, that’s honest, that’s his id telling the truth, how he dreams of just blasting away on 5th Ave to punish all the neighbors of Trump Tower who never worshipped him—

So, given Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blindly and instantly defended the Obamas/apes post this morning, which has now been repudiated by the White House, attacked by top GOP Senators, blamed on a staffer, acknowledged by Trump, and since deleted, shouldn’t Leavitt quit?

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

Breaking MS NOW: The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official. At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance. www.ms.now/news/dhs-rep...

The next time Trump does one of his rallies, he should walk out to the music of his favorite artist, Kid Rock. Imagine the MAGA crowd cheering wildly as Trump does his signature dance to "Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see / Some say that's statutory, but I say its mandatory."

An excuse given in a panic without the slightest clue about the even more problematic ramifications of the claim.

The real crime is that these measles outbreaks are infesting the 🇺🇸 migrant concentration camps. Those people aren’t in squalid, cramped, disease-ridden conditions by choice…

That Aonishiki is 21 years old is a fact it's hard to avoid coming back to. The Ukrainian native not only continues to shatter records inside the ring, but also comports himself with maturity and poise outside of it. 👉 ebx.sh/iZiVxv

A Russian Z-blogger is panicking over the hit on Lt. Gen. Alekseyev, claiming the "army is sold out" while the elite enjoy wine and Italian chefs. He complains that "traitors in offices" deliberately leak addresses, leaving top GRU generals as easy targets in their own hallways.

Do not go foraging for wild mushrooms, unless you absolutely know what they are—it just isn’t worth it. And the prettiest ones are the most poisonous.

Unsurprisingly, Europeans seem to prefer more unity, not less. As usual, it’s better to hang together than all hang separately. #geopolitics #europe www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...

It turns out the racist staffer we hired was the President himself

the fact that they’re taking down and censoring jd vance getting boo’d on twitter lol

"Donald Trump engaging in this behavior during Black History Month is no accident," writes Columnist Solomon Jones. "His childish attempt to taint the legacy of America’s most accomplished Black couple is about more than insulting the Obamas. It is meant to demean all of us."

Well that was a massive student walkout at Ocean View high school. Not gonna lie, doing safety for ~800 angry high schoolers marching along the busiest street in the city (Beach blvd) was a little stressful, but we got it done.

NEW STORY: Trump admits he was the one who found the video and asked that it be posted from his Truth Social account. Refuses to apologize.
