/2 (4) Also they know that praising a murderer enrages and horrifies decent people and (5) they hate and resent decent people because they are shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture and they know it

Unthinkable in my lifetime before now: the real possibility of NATO countries --our longtime allies!-- arrayed in military defense against us because of an out-of-control president with no guardrails.

If the U.S. attacks a NATO country, then that country can invoke Article 5, requiring member states to come to its aid. Several of them are nuclear powers. Is this scenario likely? No. But just the fact that the White House could place Americans at such risk is a major national security issue.

Well, fuck…

Abraham, a physician who is not board certified in any specialty & has made a career as an extremely partisan politician, is now #2 at CDC. Despite working full time in political office, he is one of the top prescribers of ivermectin & he oversaw the end of Louisiana’s public vaccination campaigns.

Yep. I've been waiting for EU spooks to start reminding Trump that they've got their own capabilities.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

I would decline to voluntarily cooperate. No way. Issue a subpoena and fight it out in court.

Steve Bannon, promising America her best days are ahead of her.

NTSB Member Todd Inman will brief the media today at 3:00 p.m. ET on its investigation into the crash of a UPS MD-11 cargo aircraft, Flight 2976 near Louisville, Kentucky. Briefing held at the Louisville Regional Airport Authority Administration Building, 700 Administration Drive Louisville, KY

We all need to channel this Chicago man’s utter contempt

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Guess who Hegseth's Pentagon awards its biggest drone contract to....? Naturally one in which Don Trump Jr has a stake and sits on its board. Every goddam conflict of interest law is being vandalised daily by Trump's administration. www.ft.com/content/4ced...

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Demolishing part of the White House, gilding the rest, and shitting on the American people are all apt metaphors for this administration.

I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it (either out of self-preservation or the distractions inherent in our cursed information environment) but man: It’s humiliating to live in the hegemon that built the current global order as a bunch of illiterate pissbabies smash it to pieces.

This is not good The story is actually worse than the headline. The ex-GOP official worked in Missouri with Ed Martin. www.axios.com/2025/10/09/d...

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

MORE: Immergut issued a stark warning that the efforts by Trump to make a bad-faith justification to call up the guard risked plunging the country into a form of unconstitutional military rule. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“This is not just an administrative headache. It puts patient care at risk in an already overburdened system. Medicine is complicated enough. We should not be leaving physicians and patients to guess whether a proven, widely used mode of care is legal, billable, or sustainable.”

I really wish I didn't have to care about these fucking weirdos.

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know. A great soul if ever there was one www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Donald Trump, who claimed he'd end all wars, just declared war on the American people...and Republicans cheered.

This is the essence of the conservative facade. It demands civility in personal interactions in spite of the use of power to destroy lives. As long as people are civil lives harmed don’t matter.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Deranged, un-American fascism. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Jesus. that’s the fourth mass shooting today

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

Robert Redford was an amazing actor, may he rest well.

The only thing Kirk has in common with Jesus is that Christians hate when you quote him to show what he really believes.

It's all fun and ha-has until someone takes you seriously.

A little background on the groyper/Charlie Kirk "feud."

The shooter was a groyper.

The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Kirk was America's latest victim of senseless gun violence for all of an hour or two: "Three people, at least two of whom are students, were shot and critically injured at a suburban high school in Colorado on Wednesday afternoon." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

Well, I'll be damned. It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up. newatlas.com/infectious-d...

“It is almost unheard of for a convicted sex trafficker to meet with such a high-ranking Justice Department official, especially one who used to be the president's top criminal defense attorney.” https://abcnews.go.com/US/deputy-ag-blanche-set-meet-2nd-day-ghislaine/story?id=124064062

It's a stupidity contest and all of us are the losers.

LET HIM COOK

this FDA panel on SSRIs was packed with people who do not have medical degrees & people who are not licensed doctors in the U.S.; they called in a bunch of psychologists to weigh in on psychiatry & boy isn't that exactly what you would expect, really

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

This is the tribute Gabbard must offer to keep her job after contradicting Trump on Iran’s nuclear progress. The DNI effectively said there was no evidence to support Trump’s rationale for bombing Iran - and he was pissed. Her transgression required a show of unhinged loyalty. And here we are.

Cut to the chase: “Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) likened the efforts to Trump’s unsuccessful push to reverse the 2020 election…’This is the 2020 playbook on steroids. They are actively in a power grab.’” …\1 wapo.st/3IvgS0s
