Planter’s advisor turned an off-the-record source into an on-the-record source. The best and the brightest.

oh you mean long-standing problems are more complex than they appear and a con man’s quick fix probably won’t work? SO WEIRD

lol fucking Axios

the Pod Save America dipshits are behind a lot of this. Platner's campaign is a product of how incestuous and unhealthy the Democratic elite world is, not a reaction against it!

sure would be a shame for the Dems to line up behind a guy who appears to be a living breathing Matryoshka doll of red flags with a totenkopf at the center just to lose to Senator Susan Fucking Collins again

wow, more scandals continuing to leak out about this guy, what a completely unexpected shock

lol he calls Ken Paxton “a truly beloved statewide figure” lmaoooo

Friday pump, right on time

Surprise! Almost like the killing spree at sea is not a serious counter-drug effort at all. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/w...

Got pizza for dinner. The ordering system on the website was … inaccessible? Not working? Fine, called the pizza place. HAD TO TALK TO AN AI CHATBOT. The future is stupid.

Oh man, Martina McBride is out (I’m guessing they booked her bc of her biggest hit, the *definitely-not-about-patriotism* song “Independence Day”)

Okay first of all “red cities” are so rare they may as well not exist. Second, how exactly would this work, international travelers wanting to go to NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, etc are going to what, fly two or three states away and drive to their actual destination? Delusional.

Scoop: Central Command is getting reports that military personnel are being targeted using commercially available location data. Few details available, but it’s a sign that the tech industry’s advertising-surveillance complex is having consequences on the battlefield. www.reuters.com/business/med...

For nearly a decade, the Pentagon was warned—by its own contractors, analysts, and intelligence agencies—that anyone with a credit card could buy a map of where American troops sleep, work, and store nuclear weapons. Now the bill has come due in a war zone. My latest at @wired.com

DTOs are not a thing and there is no authority that exists to kill people identified under it. FTOs exist which allow for financial and immigration sanctions but the authority we are citing to kill people does not exist

Another member of the Joint Chiefs who will need a waiver due to lack of experience (see 10 USC § 7033(a)(2)). LaNeve’s 3 & 4 star jobs have been: - Commander 8th Army (12 months) - SDMA (10 mo) - VCSA (2 mo) - Acting CSA (2 mo)

Yordan Alvarez simply cannot be stopped

meat-eaters and vegetarians alike who Know Ball understand that potato egg and cheese is a top-tier breakfast taco

my god

From Houston. Crawfish are bottom-feeding insects that *literally eat shit,* and yet are somehow not the worst part of a traditional crawfish boil (that would be the huge bland chunks of potato and ears of corn)

Dems should be publicly and loudly adding things like this to a List and promising investigations, prosecutions, debarments, clawbacks, and prison

…d- does Polis think “censured” and “censored” are synonyms? fucking idiot

[Houston polling site] Me: [chanting] blexas, blexas- Other voters: blexas, BLEXAS Poll worker: [pounding her clipboard] BLEXAS, BLEXAS, BLEXAS!

It’s fine to say “happy Memorial Day” actually 🫡

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

“mandatory” … “unless they have a reason not to” … “but mandatory!”

“The U.S. Secret Service shot a person near the White House on Saturday, and a bystander also was shot” That combo of active and passive voice is a work of art lol apnews.com/article/whit...

this season is one disaster after another www.mlb.com/video/yordan...

Deleting the pages highlighting women and minorities from ANC’s site (it happened early last year) was shameful and a stain on the Army. But it’s unclear that Sgt. Gee was ever mentioned in the Notable Graves section or Women’s History tour even before the deletion www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Just saw a “omg we’re supposed to be at *Dulles*” in the DCA check-in area (which I know happens every day but is still wild to witness in the wild)

“circumstances pertaining to the government” is my new excuse for everything I want to blow off

Congratulations to the new Director of National Intelligence, Marco Rubio

this is just a protection racket

/22 Heads should roll. Careers should end. If DoJ won’t do it, the legal community should do it for them. This is appalling and unacceptable behavior throughout, at all levels of this office. The lower attorneys committed misconduct. Boutros was complicit in hiding it from the court.

I like that my feed right now is 100% lawyers going “legal expert here, judges only talk like this when they’re feeling a white-hot rage powerful enough to swallow a medium-size metropolitan area.”

This is extremely lawless and corrupt by the Trump DOJ. So, par for the course. The presumption of regularity is a joke now, and federal prosecutors won’t recover the esteem they had from federal judges for a generation. (Which, actually, is fine.)

2/1 CD gonna get whiplash

I hope the new Michael Bay-slop movie has a flashback to the part in 13 Hours where the (cowardly, liberal-coded) station chief yells “stand down!” then cuts to the (heroic, manly) SD or POTUS solemnly saying “go get our boys” and then everybody claps

Interesting that the Trump administration is laying down a marker that a military attack on an unarmed craft can be the basis for prosecuting senior government officials who supervised the attack in home countries of the vehicles' occupants.

that is a great point Jeff Amazon, I guess we will have to triple them then

if they don’t need approval to build it, then I guess nobody needs approval to tear it down

*light turns green* *signal changes to ‘walk’* *quick glance both ways* *step off curb* *feel the breeze of a bicyclist passing six inches away as they whiz through the red light at 25 mph*

SEN MOULTON: There are multiple reports—now public—that Iran has already reconstituted many of its bombed-out missile sites, was that part of the plan too? ADM COOPER: Those reports are inaccurate. 👀

Flagrant, unapologetic corruption. When accountability comes, it must be just as unapologetic.

Brian Kilmeade, famously a tactical genius

The “we don’t have the votes” excuse for refusing to force a vote on impeachment is conceding the point and saying even the opposition party doesn’t think this high crime merits removal from office. It’s not being politically astute and pragmatic, it’s self-defeating in its cowardice.
