I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

ICE arrested a journalist yesterday without a warrant. She is an asylum seeker, has valid work permits, and is married to a U.S. citizen. fox17.com/news/local/n...

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Severe thunderstorms are expected from the southern Plains to the Midwest this afternoon into tonight. Severe storm hazards may include very large hail, severe wind gusts & tornadoes. Storms could also produce heavy rain that may lead to flash flooding. Check weather.gov for local warnings.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

the only ways the name "markwayne" work: "We wanna thank Mr. Markwayne for lettin' the youth group use his trailer for the hay ride this year" "Markwayne, git your ass offa that four wheeler and go to the store we done run outta ice"

Baptist preacher/hospice chaplain on one side and a Korean War vet turned industrial welder (welded rockets together) on the other.

Pro tip, start eating lunch a little bit earlier each day to be ready for the time change

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

Sometimes I go on threads bc it pops up on Instagram and so many people there are absolutely insane if they are actual humans at all

Gov. Sanders is now preparing to waste a whopping $380M on her school voucher subsidies, which benefit just 45K people & do nothing to improve educational outcomes. When are Republican legislators going to step up & stop this fiscal insanity? #Arkansas #arpx #arnews arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

“Our rules of engagement are bold like the flavor of A1 steak sauce”

Don’t give up on “red” states

As I was saying: A great night to consider running for office.

I mean Zwan seems plausible as a cia op

It is baffling to me why Dem leadership returns again and again to these procedural critiques. Does anyone find them compelling? Is the problem with this war really that Trump didn't tell Schumer about it sooner?

What's especially wild about Target's anti-woke moment is that if they'd simply stuck to their own stated principles, and toughed it out through presidential disapproval for, like, three months, they'd look like heroes and would be more popular than ever

New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low. When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?

TIL that liberty has a law school

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Seems crystal clear that neither Netanyahu nor Trump want an actual democracy in Iran, they want a regime they can manage/work with like the gulf states.

just a reminder that pete hegsgeth moved onto a military base last year because he was scared of protestors

The Trump cabinet really seems to be taking turns on who can be the most hated person.

I just don’t think the opposition party should feel it necessary to be more careful in criticizing a war than the party in power is in starting one.

The weirdest thing about bombing Iran and killing their leader is how blasé the whole thing feels. My wife isn’t super online and asked “did we bomb Iran?” when she came home from work yesterday. I’m old enough to remember both Iraq 1&2 and both had long lead ups and were a huge deal.

Blowing things up, kidnapping and killing foreign leaders, is good because it's Doing. Considering the consequences of Doing would be Thinking, which is weak and woke

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.

Far from the biggest concern right now, but Iran is a qualifier for the 2026 World Cup, and is supposed to stay in Tucson

We're doing amazing things in the area of insider trading.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over

What a fucking ghoul.

Voters don’t think the Democratic Party is too progressive, they think it’s weak and ineffective www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran? Me neither. Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana (Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

when i “whine” about dems being losers, its not because i think they’ve lost too many elections, its because i think they’ve squandered that power when they’ve won. is there a better case-in-point than the biden admin fumbling the response to a fucking coup?

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

World Cup will be a complete mess unless fifa has bought enough trumpcoin i guess

This is how white nationalism undermines very basic thinking. I interned in a state Medicaid/Medicare audit unit. The idea that states do not do this already is absurd and is only justified if you are incensed that non-white people receive equal benefits that they are entitled to under the law.

These people are beyond evil and the only reason that it doesn’t always seem that way is that they’re also beyond stupid.

I’d love to know how Democrats rationalize sitting and taking it from a guy with a 36% approval.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

You’d think that as a hockey league the NHL would be able to skate toward where the figurative puck is headed. It’s not 2024 or early 2025 and woke 2 is coming. Not that they will win the WC, but I hope the usmnt is taking notes on how not to handle the Trump admin’s attempt to use them as props

We need companies and institutions like Apple to stand up for themselves and say this, rather than get bullied into false balance over and over again. If they can’t see by now that the latter approach path ends in hell, they shouldn’t work anywhere near the news.
