Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Rubio was confirmed 99-0. All of our institutions are corrupt and the sooner people realize that, the better.

How can we trust news from @apnews.com if they have financial ties to a prediction market? That’s an automatic conflict of interest for both companies. Sigh.

States have started proposing steep reductions in disability services to cope with Medicaid cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Idaho is the first to suggest scrapping home care altogether — An action with a high human cost. My latest @19thnews.org.

The idea that they try to instill in Italian girls is that you’re supposed to be a martyr to your kids and husband It literally killed my best friend (!) and I’m watching it slowly kill another lovely woman. I’m so glad I’m selfish-ish

Sweet tea, no doubt

We had the 1864 presidential election amid the ongoing Civil War, which had begun in 1861. I insisted on holding the election, believing that democracy must prevail even in the face of adversity, as a demonstration of the nation's commitment to self-governance and the principles of democracy.

I think it is funny how qualifications and clean records without red flags matter way more for someone interviewing to work as say, a bartender than a white man trying to get hired to be a senator.

I’m just gonna go by Picatinny Arsenal and wait for the First Strike If the missiles don’t get you - the hot plutonium rods buried in shallow ditches on the edges of the property - will

I can’t stand it…they keep saying how strategic and precise our strikes are…so they MEANT to hit the school.

And ROE and LOW will become very important if the pilots of these aircraft experiencing rapid unplanned disassembly parachute into the wrong zip code.

Perhaps Kuwait wasn't on the Signal chat...

Not sharing the transponder codes with an ally resulting in the destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment and endangerment of civilians and military personnel seems like an actionable offense under the UMCJ. Oh wait: the JAG corps have been compromised. Funny that.

$200,000,000 give or take for that hardware. War is hella expensive 😡 (Yes, it's morally offensive as well.)

Considering how many times we’ve invaded the Middle East, you’d think we would have it down by now but they’re so incompetent we have allies shooting down our own jets.

This is what Republicans voted for, it's what they exalt, and it's why they live in shitty run-down, boarded-up failure villages

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years — since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War. Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.

Thread. There are a lot of Super PACs with non-descript, even pleasant sounding names, that are throwing millions into Democratic primary elections in order to boost the crappiest Dem candidates (like the one, below)

That's fair.

Beautiful things grow in difficult places.

American troops are dying in the Middle East for Trump's illegal war against Iran, but the president is more concerned with promoting his gold-encrusted ballroom.

Netanyahu is a warmongering criminal!!

I'm not religious but uhh hello, antichrist much?

I read this that 40 years of US presidents have resisted Israel pressure, while weak Trump is the first to give into that pressure

Always remember that in the weeks before Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a right-wing fanatical Israeli, Netanyahu led a mock funeral parade thru the streets for Rabin and accused him of betraying the Israeli people. Bibi has been a murderous fascist for decades.

So yeah the "Trump will be harder on Israel" people are looking really fucking stupid right now

This just reeks of Triumphant Evil Villain "Now I have the power! [creepy laughter]" energy.

Miriam Adelson has many times over the cash George Soros does, but you hear so little about her... Curious. 🤨

Trump made it possible. Non voters made Trump possible.

His lifelong dream is bombing Iran. The worst people are leaders

bibi is just descriptively correct and the next dem needs to just sever all ties with israel. defense, trade, all of it. even thinking on utterly cynical grounds: israeli political leadership and overall politics is overtly opposed to the american left-of-center project
