This is the government edition of “bankrupt six casinos.”

When it was obvious to most, that Elon rigged the election, I felt betrayed, even more so when the democrats backed down and squirmed away. Now, I wonder how much AIPAC paid for that silence.

Comedian Nate Bargatze attended the White House UFC fight but still insists he’s “not political.” Sorry, that’s not how this works. If you hang out with Nazis, you’re a Nazi.

Hardly surprising that Joe Rogan doesn't have someone in his life who loves him enough to say, "Don't go outside looking like that."

Trump reportedly considered suspending habeas corpus…the basic right to challenge your detention in court. Let that sink in. When leaders start eyeing powers that sidestep due process, EVERY American should be paying attention…and be pissed the f*ck off. Freedom doesn’t survive on autopilot.

Donald Trump is so breathtakingly incompetent he spent BILLIONS to blow bits of Iran up—then agreed to give them $300 BILLION to put it back together—and the only thing he accomplished was getting domestic gas prices to skyrocket.

A very flawed paper that anti-vaxxers use to support the false conclusion that vaccines cause autism was retracted last week because of “concerns about methodology…and conclusions”. Of course RFK Jr. in his role as HHS Secretary is now demanding an explanation. Here it is: the data are shite.

BREAKING: DOJ opens a criminal investigation into Gavin Newsom. After Comey, Letitia James, Mark Kelly, and others, the pattern is clear: investigate critics, pardon loyalists. That’s not democracy. That’s autocracy.

🔥 Charlamagne on Josh Hokit attacking Michelle: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency & class & poise & intelligence... Now that bar is in hell.”

Trump said the repairs would cost $1.8 million. It ended up costing $14 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract that baked in a 20% profit margin. The typical federal construction contract profit margin is 6% to 12%. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

For Hannah Arendt, 20th-century totalitarianism distinguished itself by effacing the boundaries between public and private. Today, fascism in a postmodern key strives to efface different boundaries: between reality and non-reality, human and non-human, truth and untruth.

🧵Should Palantir, a surveillance company that profits from killing people, profiteer from what could be the next major crisis in the US? 1) Experts warn that fallout from the Strait of Hormuz is shaking global agrifood systems... www.weforum.org/stories/2026...

To those who say: “Just surrender” You can’t win this War Would you surrender If a killer broke into your home Murdered your child And told you to be grateful? This is not stubbornness. This is pain. This is grief. This is the fire that keeps us alive.

substack.com/@steveschmid... Retrospection has proved that President Carter was one of the greatest leaders this country has ever had.

Ths is flying under the radar, but Russ Vought is advancing a new scheme to give Trump's cronies total control of nearly $179B in federal grant funds. Billions for lifesaving disaster relief and medical research would be subject to Trumpian loyalty oaths. Make no mistake: this is fascism.

The rise of trump was warned to us all. america is beyond flawed We need to try again 🏴

#Australia built a #battery that responds to a grid emergency faster than a human can blink. The Waratah Super Battery in New South Wales — 850 megawatts, 1,680 megawatt-hours — has a response time of 150 milliseconds from the moment its algorithms detect a grid frequency deviation #ActOnClimate

JD Vance's "anti-fraud" task force has suspended funding for 43 legitimate hospice providers. Meanwhile, Trump continues to pardon actual fraudsters — including a nursing home executive who made $1.3B in fraudulent Medicare and Medicaid claims. "Tough on crime."

Some are going to like this but the sad truth is covering up for pedophiles and child molesters in general is also on par for the Catholic Church as well the Baptist Church and many others.

We are getting a front row seat to watch the decline of an empire in real-time.

Cape Verde goalie is standing on his head. Incredible. #WorldCup

Democrats need to put forward some candidates that are separate from Israel money, or elections are going to be a mess. People don’t want Israel in American government, and Democrats seem to be ignoring this matter. It will bite them. Address it now if you want the votes. 💙🦋

I absolutely believe that Netanyahu, his cabinet, the IOF and the a Israeli Knesset deserve to go to The Hague for war crimes. But so too does that asshole in the WH, his cabinet and sadly, this Congress. All have engaged in unspeakable CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!

the more I read about Jaylen Brunson, the more I admire the guy. he's been a class act. he does things the right way. hard for me to say it as a lifelong Celtics fan, but I'm happy for him and his team. #NBA #Celtics ☘️

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

In case you think JD Vance is less extreme or unhinged

After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game. You LOVE to see it 🇯🇵 #WorldCup #Football #Soccer #RG3 #Love #sports #RGIII #RobertGriffinIII #Japan #Discipline

"The sun doesn't shine at night." Neither do petrol stations refine fuel in your driveway, coal dig itself out of the ground, or gas teleport to your home. Every system has constraints. The winners solve them cheapest. The losers mistake today's problems for tomorrow's outcome. #Bettrification

It really pisses me off when journalists conceal important information to sell books. @nytimes.com

🚩TRACK AIPAC is clearly interfering in elections & spreading disinformation Example: TX Primary 🗳️Early Voting 2/17-2/27 🗳️Election Day 3/3/2026 Track AIPAC “strategy” *Circulated Crockett “Warning” *2/17 updated it-$86K+ *3/1 posted Talarico $23K+ *4/6 updated it-$148K+ 🤨Who do we vote for?

ICYMI in WSJ: Bill Gates has publicly claimed to only have had 2 affairs, and been at arm's length from Epstein. The divorce proceedings mentioned 20+ affairs and far closer ties to Epstein than revealed. archive.is/Vun2s

Donald Trump is a monster. What he’s done at our White House is a disgusting, unforgivable disgrace.

Gee Tom you should know. You've stood side by side with Trump for years. Now when you know all is going to be revealed you jump on the Dems side and fane ignorance about Trump and Epstien. Others commend you I don't applaud someone just doing the right thing finally.

Something else folks are underreacting to: No, the Reflecting Pool isn’t American flag blue. It’s $14+ million of taxpayer-funded swamp water.

@anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social Israel is out of control and a threat to the world. Sanction Israel.

Joy Reid: All of us shown the door for just doing our jobs, standing up to the administration and, in my case, also for speaking out against the genocide.

This cartoon got incredible reaction. Apparently, Americans oppose censorship. Hope the Democratic Party is paying attention.

Elon Musk is not a trillionaire. If I wrote a check to you for a billion dollars, since you can not turn that check into a billion dollars, you would not be a billionaire. Elon Musk cannot cash out to the tune of a trillion dollars. I suspect he couldn't even manage one billion.
