”The starter home your American kids can’t afford was turned into an Airbnb.”

I just got to watch fireworks from the best damn ground around and they're hitting me with one brigade... lovely. Lovely!

Don’t dare attempt to speak to me unless you’re as serious as student of strategy and history as I.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

If you were cool with this, you can shove that "Happy Independence Day" up your ass.

They should give Chris Donahue the Nobel Peace Prize just to see what happens.

buddy elon musk just did this to your wife and he didn't even have a hospital ship

Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were on a hospital ship at the edge of U.S. territorial waters making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me

Truly amazing story and worth actually reading. Dude was living his best life.

We Should Finally Fulfill The Declaration’s Promise And Also Finish Reconstruction: A Brief History Of American Politics, 1776-2026

Announced during a historic heat wave. These guys are buffoons.

In less than an hour, maybe way less, much faster, honestly, aircraft from here will join others from around the world - these big, strong generals pleading, “please President Whitmore, sir, please let us fire the missiles,” I don’t know folks, should I let them? I said “you will be launching the l-

Who handles AF1 food, the Air Force or the White House? If so, these are taxpayer-funded. If someone is bringing and serving outside food on AF1, that’s a different kind of concerning (if I cared about the physical well being of anyone dumb enough to enjoy these).

Happy 4th of July!

Man, sure hope there are no Princes whose character are thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant around… I’d totally be like “hey, he’s unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” I definitely wouldn’t be disposed to suffering while evils are sufferable. No, sir. Not me.

I feel like showing up to Gettysburg with a “Confederate Lives Matter” t-shirt and a “Southern Heritage” Stonewall Jackson hat is overcomplicating things when you could have gotten the job done with a simple “I’m a dumb racist.”

Not safe to be anywhere near the national mall tomorrow, friends. The name of the company Trump picked for the fireworks, Pyrotecnico, sounded familiar. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/i...

This is what happens when a municipal government gets snowballed by the “I was a Senior Foreign Service executive managing billions of dollars and totally not a shitbag” song and dance without checking references: www.kctv5.com/2026/05/20/f...

Bet a dollar they weren’t Haitian.

This is a brilliant story. Hooray for archives, and for their staff and volunteers. 📝📄🗄️🗃️ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

If you say “Lee was a brilliant tactician,” I’m checking to see cerebrospinal fluid is leaking out one of your ears and wasting no time getting you to the hospital.

It’s like all those years ago, Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas and guitar legend, Grammy winner, and Kennedy Center Honree Carlos Santana were trying to warn us about this heat.

Dad-maxxing with the Seventh Ohio today… free coin for someone’s kid if you can find it

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

My six year old is getting the staff ride of a lifetime this weekend

My mortgage company: hey you dirtbag piece of shit, I noticed you still get paper statements, you garbage asshole, why don’t you just take a big shit in Mother Earth’s mouth Also my mortgage company: three mailers a week on fun, jazzy aspects of refinancing you’ve never considered before.

I think Mrs. Met is my absolute most problematic would.

It’s 2026 and I’m sincerely hoping there’s still time for the London Kings’ shortstop to break Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

"when you put it on, something happens"

I really need you guys to know that the Eisenhower jacket is a Class B uniform. It’s killing me to see your run-of-the-mill local dork 1-star proudly wearing what amounts to a windbreaker at the same place Marines are wearing their Dress Blue Bravos.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Why does Trump want to create a national voter registration list? “This effort to create a national voter file that Donald Trump controls is an effort to mass disenfranchise people through paperwork.” Don’t let him get away with it. Join our fight for fair elections: https://bit.ly/4qskS3m

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

Listen guys. I think an enduring feature of the post-9/11 security environment is that US leaders feel entitled to a kinetic relief valve they can use for whatever fucking made-up purpose.

crazy to me that rich people have been so successful in perpetuating the lie that the poor are stealing from everyone. they don't have any money. the rich people are the ones with the money! that's who stole the money

:)

I'd like to form a discussion group just for that last paragraph.

“Fleeing gang violence and what has become a civil war, thousands of Haitians have helped reverse decades of decline in Springfield.They filled factory jobs, opened businesses, started churches, and helped stabilize the city’s population after years of shrinkage.” www.thebulwark.com/p/after-supr...

Everything I’m telling my kids not to do at the airport (and they’re not)… a giant pack of Boomers are doing. - keep your conversation down - i don’t want to hear your devices - stay out of people’s space - don’t disturb anyone - don’t talk to strangers - keep your space tidy
