One of the National Guard troops who was shot died It seems the man who shot her WAS vetted-and the Trump administration granted him asylum The tragedy is she was only there because Trump was trying to prove he's tough So the fact that he attacked a female reporter over his own failures tracks

The past year exposed that any “intellectual standards on the right,”for many years, have simply been a cover-up for an organized effort by the wealthy to retain power and the lion’s share of the pie, by allying with conmen and exploiting the undereducated and racist segment of the population.

New — In light of WV guard member Sarah Beckstrom’s death, a call has gone out to all National Guard members in the DC area asking them to come to the Eisenhower Memorial to line the procession from the hospital.

She is not the first person to die as a result of Trump's showboating. My sympathies to her family, may she rest in peace. Wishing the other guardsman shot in this horrible incident a better outcome and a speedy recovery. Trump is not a leader, but a drunk driver heading full speed over a cliff.

On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden? TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

The rest of the press looks cowardly when it stands there silently while Trump repeatedly insults female reporters.

Q: You said this suspect was flown in under the Biden admin. But was he granted asylum under your administration? TRUMP: Uh, when it comes to asylum, when they're flown in, it's very hard to get them out no matter how you want to do it. But we're gonna be getting them all out now. *slams table*

Cheung is 10 years younger than me, looks 10 years _older_ somehow, and bears a strong semblance to a man-sized butt plug. He’s another of this admin’s sterling examples of the “peasant-coded” belief, as Jamelle Bouie put it, that evil turns people ugly from the inside out.

The optics are already bad. But what makes this a political grenade is the fact that Leavitt, the rising GOP poster-child for “tough-on-immigration” messaging, is now personally tangled in the human wreckage of exactly the enforcement tactics she’s spent 2025 defending.

General Horta Nta Na Man was sworn in as the transitional president of Guinea-Bissau on Thursday, an army statement said, one day after army officers announced they had deposed the country’s president.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people. Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today. But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic. A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral? TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. 47 blames Biden for everything and the people are tired of it He is responsible for the death of a National Guardsman, deployed in his back yard in times of Peace in the U.S. . My condolences to his family . #Pinks #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue youtu.be/quNTnHqZFX8?...

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

I remember this Wall Street Journal graphic claiming that CEOs work 55 hour weeks, and maybe only 6 hours of it outside of meetings would be unambiguously considered work if they were in an entry level position.

Executives don't have real jobs.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) is the subject of a report alleging he was seen with sex workers during a 2021 stop while traveling with a private group he said was en route to help evacuate Americans in Afghanistan. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/report-say...

While there are often some ethical issues with making free PDFs of paywalled content, in this case it seems entirely justifiable, given the author, the subject, and the journalistic imperative to provide the widest possible audience for the verb "Michael Wolffed" gofile.io/d/Ap4v35

Democrats intentionally delayed the start date to appease Big Pharma and his lackeys, and now Trump gets to benefit. Political malpractice. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

it's pretty galling to invite a pathological liar on your show and allow him to slander a fellow female journalist completely unchecked—and then publish it. jacqueline sweet is a damn good reporter who published a lot of major stories about santos. this sucks.

Why did Trump invite a man who shot the National Guard? Am I doing this right, MAGA? I am, right? I'm following your logic. So, yeah, Donald Trump should be blamed entirely.
