No more Shitler Youth with their cold, dead eyes

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

"The sooner [another major news network in this county is controlled by a MAGA-aligned billionaire who will filter the new the way we want] the better." Just saying the quiet part out loud now.

I had to look up who Jake Paul is and why Trump had him up on stage, and now I regret it.

Yes, working-class men. Trust the guy who just snorted enough cocaine to kill a rhinoceros. He definitely has your best interests in mind.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious. You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

BREAKING: ABC News, citing sources: The United States is facing difficulty evacuating its personnel from facilities under bombardment in Iraq

Not great

Oil is up 7.6% just since the markets closed at 6:00pm eastern, which is around the time Iran blew up the oil tankers. Seems that Iran is indeed trying to send a message, and it’s being heard.

"This is not actionable," one said.

Democrats MUST make SCOTUS reform a key platform item for 2028. Ethics code. Term limits. Expansion and recusal guidelines. Fair nomination rules. Rein in shadow docket. Investigations into misconduct by current members. Americans deserve a high court they can respect.

Pretty beta

Adam actually lives in TX but this is such a funny race to do the "beta" insult with. Cornyn just abandoned his lifelong filibuster support to grovel for Trump's endorsement!

Republicans can’t be doing this when they’re walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they don’t want the Mad King to yell at them bsky.app/profile/tito...

Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
