I’m going to get an engineering degree from OU by saying bridges can only be measured in cubits and shekels www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

I can’t afford a car so I had to walk to the store, and when I got there, there were no toys on the shelves. But at least no one said “Happy Holidays” to me.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid. A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home. They are lawless bestial scum.

The diehards are starting to decide after much prayerful consideration with their beautiful brides that being in the minority next year sounds like a shit sandwich.

And some of the smarter Republicans understand this Even if they do OK in the TN special election on Tuesday there will be quite a few retirements in the next few months.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

My prayers are with the National Guard members injured in today’s senseless shooting. Grateful for the officers and first responders who moved quickly. There is no place for this kind of violence in our country.

I don't know how to explain this to someone who does not understand it, and maybe it is trauma from the military about punctuality, but If I have an appointment at 4 in the afternoon or dinner reservations are at sick, I need you to understand that that is the entire mental focus of the day.

MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension. She got the joke. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy. It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this. And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either. We're all agree on that, right?

Neither the Irish nor the Italians were considered “white” in their immigrant waves. They BECAME white by adopting anti-Blackness. There’s a reason we have the stereotypes of the “beefy Irish beat cop” and the “wily Italian detective.” Vivek Ramaswamy has high, high hopes.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

Thank you to the first responders who subdued the suspect that shot two National Guard members earlier today. It’s an awful thing for a family to learn a loved one was shot while receiving mixed reports of their well being.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

This incredibly irresponsible alcoholic idiot is calling for 500 additional troops in Washington. Because that won't incite more violence. Everything about this silly "Secretary of War" is about saber rattling and pretending he is so strong. He really must have been picked on in school.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

So NOW he's worried? SCREW HIM

Three things should not be for profit: health care, education, and corrections.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

And now...

MS NOW confirms: The FBI is working with Capitol Police to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to refuse to comply with illegal orders.

The current plan was Republican. So of course it's going to fall down and hurt people. But that's the beauty of being THINKERS. _Democrats fix things. Republicans break things._ There's your bumper sticker. You're welcome.

We are fighting hard to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Republicans have zero interest in making healthcare affordable for everyday Americans. You deserve better.

basically everyone zohran has put on his transition team has proven he knows ball both on policing and housing

Racism is so powerful in America it’s our greatest intellectual export

lol lmao

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

SUIT UP!!
