The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

Pretty incredible that Jeff Bezos' Amazon announced a "$5 billion-plus" partnership w/ a Saudi AI co launched by Mohammed Bin Salman and sent CEO Andy Jassy to meet with him less than 7 years after MBS murdered Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for Bezos' Washington Post. techcrunch.com/2025/05/13/a...

White collar crime has too often been thought of as a victimless crime; hence why the punishments are practically non-existant.

Because everyone receiving social security checks has plenty of money in the bank to just wait and see if it corrects itself. I'm sure in his business dealings, he's always taken a "meh, let's wait and see" approach that resulted in his billions.

"Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people" -- Karoline Leavitt turns reality upside down, then gets mad at an AP reporter after he pushes back

While watching that horrifying, globe-shifting exchange with Zelenkskyy, I couldn't help but think about what a deliberately staged reality-TV moment it was, with two people ganging up on one and screaming a classic, totally petulant reality-TV accusation: They hadn't been thanked enough.

Yes, that’s what Zelensky has wanted for 3 years - a nuclear holocaust and world extinction. Our Director of National Intelligence. Who will never say anything about where Putin fits into all this. Congrats, America.

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO
