NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

Never mind the classic conundrum “Who was President in 2020?”, we have leveled up to “Who controls all three branches of government like, right this second?”

good luck growing your own vanilla or coffee

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stood before them and declared: “We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy.” The enemy being the people of this country, the people of the world, and anyone who opposes Trump/MAGA." — welcome to 1935 Nazi Germany, folks

NYT columnist Jamelle Bouie said DefSec Pete Hegseth's speech to 800 generals and admirals Tuesday was “some of the most loser shit I have ever seen in my life.” It was exceedingly lame, to be sure. But for several years, Pete said a whole bunch of the same shit on Foxaganda & Friends Weekend.

I had the opportunity today to speak with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about Gaza, AIPAC, and what Democrats need to do better. An easy first step? No AIPAC money. Ever. AIPAC is supporting my opponent but I’m on the right side of history.

DEEP PHIL LORE: My friend and I got double banned from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk's dime toss booth by both the booth operators and our parent because we won too much goddamn crap. And, boy howdy, was it craaaaaap. Like, ashtrays that shattered because they got too much sun.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard. www.rawstory.com/trump-milita...

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Trump Makes It Very Clear They’re Going To Turn TikTok Into A Right Wing Propaganda Machine After years of hyperventilation about TikTok's impact on privacy, propaganda, and national security, TikTok is likely being sold to a bunch of Trump's billionaire technofascist buddies who don't believe in…

There are no words. A psychopath is sitting in the Oval Office, demanding illegal acts from OUR military. 25th amendment NOW!

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

The day before Jan 6, the 10 living Secretaries of Defense wrote about the danger of politicizing the military. Their words are essential rereading today. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

"As fewer children get their flu shots, cases of a rare, severe complication are rising." We don't have to repeat that this fall & winter. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

If I’m running messaging, the word on the street is that Democrats are refusing to fund a dictatorship. Either Article 1 means something or nobody gets anything.

Having lived with National Socialists.. I agree with Gen. Enyart. This is the kind of thing that gets their blood pumping. I haven't looked at Stormfront yet, but I bet they are ecstatic. 'Hitleresque': Retired Major General links Trump speech to Nazi propaganda www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8jK...

Excited to co-author this study led by @nathanlo.bsky.social @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social on the devastating consequences of not vaccinating pregnant women vs Covid jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Your TDAP shot protects you, but now importantly, it protects little babies.

I asked the FBI to expedite the release of the tape of "border czar" Tom Homan being bribed. FBI said it couldn't see how there wasn't an urgent need to provide the public more information about (checks notes) an active federal official taking bribes and denied expedition of the request.

The Onion is so damn good.

💉New study of HPV vaccine shows “robust population-level effectiveness & herd protection in adolescent girls & young women” From 2006-2023: ➡️ Proportion of vaxxed women positive for high-risk HPV-16 & -18 types fell 98.4%, proportion of unvaxxed women fell 71.6% 1/2 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

yesterday i heard my boss from 2 jobs ago recently had all 4 of his bmw’s tires slashed in the driveway of the business and i’m still rolling off that high tbqh

A surprising defining text for the modern right is PATTON (1970). Ronald Reagan said it was his favorite movie of all time. In the first act of the movie, Patton turns a defeated army of losers into killing machines by forcing them to tuck in their shirts and show up on time for meals.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

I’m wondering if AP News is a credible news source anymore. How can the minority influence everything if it’s all predicated on votes? AP - you need a boycott too to get it together?

@apnews.com you keep asking me to subscribe, and I keep almost doing it, and then you post headlines like this. But hey, I say Dems embrace it! "See? The Republicans are so disorganized and lost that even though they control all the levers of power in Washington, we can still stop them."

It is disappointing that this is your headline when the Rs control everything and are the ones who shut the government down.

are you out of your god damn minds with this headline? i'm sorry, WHOSE fault was it???

An eminent oncologist, cancer researcher, and cancer center director is promoting a study that seems to show—but, when critically examined, doesn’t—that COVID vaccines are associated with increased cancer risk. sciencebasedmedicine.org/another-stud...

Hegseth "has focused less on meeting with his foreign counterparts and more on doing pull-ups" for social media. The military officers were silent, "though at least some of them were seething. ... 'Those guys have got a lot more dust on their boots than he does.'" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

This story has some absolutely brutal quotes and lines.

Spaceballs 2 is obviously going to be a terrible, terrible movie but we should all cheer it on as hard as possible because Rick Moranis deserves a hero's welcome back to the industry.

This kind of shit is going to have a huge chilling effect on people trying to do ICE watch and mutual aid work. Like, JB Pritzker is encouraging people to film ICE, which is good, but there are many, many people who are just not going to put their bodies on the line (and I don't judge them for that)

It's not lost on me that the majority of the folks doing ICE watch stuff in my area of Massachusetts are women, two of whom stopped an abduction with their presence over the weekend. In spite of all the risks, people *are* fighting to protect their neighbors and that should give us hope.

THIS IS HUGE! @governor.ca.gov just signed #AB288 into law, guaranteeing California workers A REAL RIGHT TO A UNION! This is the most significant labor law reform in nearly a century! #AB288 returns power to the workers joining together to unionize! 💪

This man is a hero & I will hear nothing against him. Most of these assholes spend their time telling infantry soldiers that their blown out knees & compressed spines aren't service related & everyone else that bowel cancer at 30 is from energy drinks not contaminated water.

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

The artificial intelligence industry has a big problem: 95% of companies that try AI aren’t making any money from it, according to a recent report.

"Humanity is beginning to coexist with a second apex species for the first time in 40,000 years – when our longest-lived cousins, the Neanderthals, went extinct." This is an absolutely deluded way to talk about what is, in essence, a fancy predictive text engine that can't do basic tasks.

you folks are gonna give a line of code basic human rights before you give them to trans ppl. 🙄

this is bullshit and you are a dumbass fuck off with this shit

Stop promoting AI shite

just the most credulous dipshits
