Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

every time they say “i refuse to throw XYZ under the bus” keep in mind that they threw A through W under the bus in service of XYZ getting run over by the bus anyway it is a concrete failure to recognize that at the end of the day, someone is becoming president whether or not you vote

look, I've heard people claim that Al Gore would have invaded Iraq and that Hilary Clinton would have put anti-abortion justices on the Supreme Court. 'the imaginary version of the Democrats in my head' is always going to win for some people really committed to the 'both parties are the same' crap.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

If they're going to insist this isn't a war, they need to rename Hegseth the Secretary of Some Other Bullshit.

Don't worry everybody, there's a 22 yo in charge of counter terrorism and Kash Patel fired most of the experts in Iranian militant groups.

Kash just fired some counter Iranian espionage agents. www.nysun.com/article/excl...

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

One of the grossest things in the Epstein files is how he just randomly scanned the news for men accused of SA and used this money and connections to dig up dirt on victims.

X normalizes Nazi and white supremacist words, memes, language, and ideas. If you're noodling around on that site, that propaganda is worming its way into your brain. That turns you into a danger to yourself and others. Get the fuck off of X.

Boebert: Have you reviewed any Epstein files that were released that you believe reference or relate to those specific 2016 claims regarding the Podesta emails Comet ping pong pizza used as code possibly. Clinton: Pizzagate was totally made up. I can't believe you're even referencing it

I cannot state it more clearly: I fully intend all the implied contempt for his voters. My contempt for them is boundless.

INBOX: @gallego.senate.gov endorses man with a Nazi tattoo who quoted tweeted a white supremacist, appeared on an antisemitic podcast, and wrote on Reddit that victims of sexual assault should “just take some responsibility for themselves” to avoid attacks and “act like an adult for fucks sake.”:

This is true if you recognize Reagan was an awful president who did untold damage to this country: Lindsey Graham: “To Donald J. Trump, you just surpassed Ronald Reagan as the most consequential Republican president since Lincoln… You’re a Reagan plus, plus, plus.”

I'm long separated from my limited experience here, but shooting down 3 friendly F-15s sounds like more than a deconfliction/comms problem, it sounds like an autonomous air-defense systems problem. Good thing we're not, say, recklessly rushing to replace more humans with AI in lethal decision loops

We lost 3 F-15s today. www.cnn.com/2026/03/02/m...

Setting your “progressive” brand on fire for a Nazi-adjacent nepo baby…

I don’t know, a totally corrupt president who has disrespected the military his entire political career pushes them into a war they don’t want with no clear goals after being told not to and you’ve already got one leak after another two days in. That’s, uh, something to keep an eye on.

Jesus christ, people. If this is your vehicle to the white working class, just join the Proud Boys and be done with it.

Graham Platner appeared on notorious antisemitic conspiracy theorist Nate Cornacchia's podcast, declared himself a "longtime fan" and proceeded to falsely equate Democratic and Republican immigration policies. Platner also accepted Cornacchia's characterization of him as an "America Firster."

Pete Hegseth really is an astounding idiot who truly does seem to believe that the way to win wars is just to war crime harder than the other guy. Just an endless 'taking the gloves off' until your hands are reduced to bloody stumps because it turns out taking the gloves off usually doesn't help.

Siding with the Constitution isn't siding with Iran.

See a pattern here?

will never stop being incredible to me that the son of a lawyer (and grandson of an architect) who went to hotchkiss (hotchkiss!) gets graded on a curve cause he’s “working class”

Your occasional reminder that we have Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch to thank for the fact that this man is running the world’s single biggest government agency, with the power to kill millions of people in a few moments’ time.

Setting your “progressive” brand on fire for a Nazi-adjacent nepo baby…

Either Platner's a Nazi or he accidentally got a Nazi tattoo & kept it for almost 20 years, accidentally RT'd a guy who recently proposed a "final solution" for American Jews, & accidentally went on the podcast of a guy who thinks Israel killed JFK. If he's not a Nazi, HE'S EXTREMELY NOT BRIGHT.

I just learned that Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Khomenei are not the same person. Here's my plan for regime change in Iran....(1/23)

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

The Platner pattern of getting caught doing something Nazi-adjacent, huffily disavowing it and then doing another wink-wink nudge-nudge signal to the extreme right is pretty much the Trump 2016 playbook

Where this story began. coup53.com

This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.

The people leading the U.S. war on Iran are a former “Fox & Friends” guest and a former “Fox & Friends” host.

This is happening because the Republicans in Congress are allowing it to happen.

"hey! you're supposed to manufacture consent first!! we would have helped!" - NY Times Opinion

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

The media simply refused to describe the actual, real world stakes of the 2024 election. The Republican nominee was a demonstrable violent lunatic hell bent on revenge and that man was covered like a normal guy who would tame inflation.

Big congratulations to the “no new wars” crowd. There were many bad reasons to support (or anti-anti-) Donald Trump. But none with as much willful denial and reality inversion as yours.

the other thing about opposing Putin in Ukraine is that Putin keeps directly intervening in american elections. like, if you want to defeat fascism at home, preventing putin from expanding his power is a pretty good investment.

Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US gofund.me/140322128

a whole lot of businesspeople learning in real time that a predictable and stable regulatory state - even if you don’t like some of the regulations - is vastly preferable to “boss man doesn’t like you so you’re fucked now”

At least 6 Trump Cabinet members or senior administration officials were in contact with Epstein. It is unclear if these relationships w/ Epstein were raised in background checks or security clearances. Every agency involved declined to answer my questions. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Something that's being overlooked: The Saudi government—yes, the same gov't that butchered a Washington Post journalist a few years ago—is set to be a part owner of CNN. Watch the full episode of Power Lines on YouTube: youtu.be/nWEG5jUrP2Q?...

As the U.S. officially breaks 1,000 measles cases in 2026, experts say that the rate of infections is accelerating much faster this year than it did in years past

Chris Wray knows.

The real bummer of all this, I fear, is watching how well Jake Tapper adjusts to being the voice of the Ellisons.
