I would gladly contribute to a GoFundMe to pay for a bunch of people to follow Tom Homan around (lawfully in public places!) with paper bags marked "$$$" with a Sharpie, and filled with Monopoly money.

When you think you're World War II's Patton, but you're really just M*A*S*H's Major Frank Burns.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

This photo just about sums it up

If you think you’re having a crap day, take comfort in knowing there are multi-star Generals who were ordered to fly halfway around the world to listen to a nut job drone on about his election numbers.

It’s simply so hard to function when every day brings a new “the state is going to brutalize you for existing and ban the medical access/proven healthcare that keeps you alive and just generally attempt to excise you from public life—“ etc

In the abstract, I support the right of anyone to be an incompetent blowhard bag of dicks with the arrogance that only the supremely stupid can have. But when two of them are President and Secretary of Defense, our nation, our military, and the world are worse for it.

Inside Congress www.politico.com/newsletters/... THE BUCK STOPS HERE:

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

The Deputy Chief of Staff... is in charge of military strikes? Do we even have a president?

No. A wealth tax won't solve everything. No one ever said it will. But until we begin to challenge the power & wealth of the 1% - then we know this Labour government has been bought and paid for.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Hegseth: "Any place where tried & true physical standards were altered, especially since 15 when combat arms standards were changed to ensure females could qualify, must be returned to their original standard. Other standards have been manipulated to hit racial quotas, which is just as unacceptable"

i'm guessing this is for his buddies who have been accused of war crimes or blatant racism

It's becoming clear that this is not an administration that is popular or skilled enough to do the consolidation needed to implement actual fascism, so they've decided that constantly creating fascism-flavored content is good enough

This is the cringiest MF on the planet. He’s actually saying this to our most senior military officers from around the world.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

It's true he's promoting war crimes, a culture of abuse, and an all-white military, but whether he pays for it depends on whether it sinks in with the president that he's flailing up there as a performer

Well… the whole world can now see that the emperor is naked. How embarrassing.

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants. JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

Imagine getting flown out of your command to hear this idiot ramble about politics and the Gulf of America

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations. GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

How does a pig 🐷 call #veterans suckers and losers, and the military bends the knee????? You're supposed to protect us from a dictatorship, and here we are. I don't trust you to protect Americans. I don't trust you not to shoot your momma! Following this pig president makes you a fascist.

So after over 8K complains of sexual assault in the military in 2024 alone, Unqualified Pete Hegseth declares his answer: “No more anonymous complains... no more walking on eggshells.” Just like Trump, instead of addressing the problem, he is silencing the victims.

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

LIVE: Trump and Hegseth meet with hundreds of military leaders

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage. A fire sale on farmland.

New in PN: Get ready for the next big bailout "What this means is that the farmers will be insulated at least somewhat from the damage Trump’s foolish trade war did to them; in other words, they’ll get a bailout. The rest of us will pay for it. And the economy will get no benefit at all."

A 5-year-old died of malaria shivering on a thin mattress in a two-room clinic. The medication that U.S. AID sent was 7 miles away due to Trump chaos & suspensions. It would have saved her life. Shame. This is not leadership. This is callous arrogance. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

And there's lots of them around.

A 100% tariff on non-US movies. Another distraction. For the Epsteinth time.

ZOHRAN ON ADAMS DROPPING OUT: “Trump + his billionaire donors may determine the actions of Adams & Cuomo, but they won’t determine the results of this election.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social adds Adams was right that Cuomo is “A snake & a liar”— a vote for Cuomo is a vote for Trump

Utilities, groceries, health care premiums all going sky high, and he’s blabbering on like he’s Louis XIV in Versailles.

The Trump Gold Card sends the wrong message about the U.S. to the world.

We've never witnessed so many population-wide shifts simultaneously in our lifetime.

BREAKING: Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl 60 halftime show, Apple Music announced during halftime of “Sunday Night Football.”

BREAKING: Oregon sues the Trump administration to stop its deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

I was 16 years old when I attended my first midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in full costume. We brought lighters, spray bottles of water, and many other props - once we carried a coffin. I am 63 years old and I still know every line and every dance.

Elon Musk was scheduled to visit Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious private island in 2014, according to files just released. Flight logs and daily schedules show that Epstein had vacation plans with Musk, plus meetings with Peter Thiel & Steve Bannon. trib.al/Dq7Un2P

Trump’s dip into the Nile waters dispute didn’t settle the conflict between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia. In fact, it may have caused more ripples, an international relations scholar explains:
