My Christmas wish is that someday soon a fed up reporter will blurt out, "you're lying, you know we know you're lying, for damn sure the Jesus you pretend to worship knows you're lying and yet every day we have to sit here while you wear your little gold cross and lie through your f*cking teeth."

The low information voter elects the simple minded office holder, who passes a bill banning the non-existent problem, which feeds the conspiracy theory blogosphere, which informs the low information voter......the conservative cycle of life.

Best news I've read today. wapo.st/48N5yX9

Anyone want to start a pool on the crash date?

And I thought Chippendales closed years ago.

Grok, the pinnacle of Artifice Intelligence.

Fetterman was elected with such promise and has delivered nothing. If he cared anything for his constituents he would resign and let Shapiro appoint someone who can help lead the fight.

And this coming from a man who trafficked underage girls for personal, political and financial gain.

No more dog whistles, DHS is proudly going full racist nazi.

I actually think this will be true. Except they won't be mourning, it will be the biggest celebration the world has ever seen.

Someone should probably remind Sen. Cassidy that in the 10 years prior to the passing of the ACA employer plans increased over 130% and individual plans were increasing, on average, 10% per year. But yeah, it will be just like shopping for shampoo.

The pro MAGA media are paid to ignore it and Republican office holders are loathe to acknowledge it because it would be admitting to how morally bankrupt the party is.

Only the best people...

Epstein has always been about money, power and influence. The men (and women) like Summers, who were willing to turn a blind eye to his depravity and sex crimes, even if they don't face criminal charges, need to be kicked to the curb and forever treated as the pariahs they are. wapo.st/49tF1A2

In a word, money. And access to it.

Trump's incel army.

Yeah, I mean c’mon, we were all just part of the predator class. No biggie.

I read this book when it was first published and reread it today. Written by Timothy Snyder at the beginning of Trump's first term as a "what if" based on historical events leading to the rise of Hitler, Putin and others. In reading it today, it seems more of a play-by-play account of our own time.

I'm old enough to remember when eliminating waste, fraud and abuse was all the rage.

RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."

So really, young people don't need to worry about Social Security and Medicare going away because this clown is going to make sure that none of you live long enough to need it.

In July of 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered one of the greatest speeches in US history. Today it’s often presented in abridged form, though, and skips what seems like a long-winded introduction. If you read the intro closely, however, there’s an ingenious structure. THREAD👇🏽

How about fewer white christian nationalists like Barbie and then let individuals choose their own course in life.

As if anyone harbored any doubts about the motivations of right’s mass deportation program, the South African “refugees” should put that to rest.

Our elected “leaders”, on both sides of the aisle, could take a lesson in what it means to fight for the rights, freedoms and rule of law that this country is supposed to stand for. nymag.com/intelligence...

And here I assumed that with so many trade deals to do they would have just ordered in bulk from @tradedeals.com. Bespoke deals for each sanctioned country, no wonder its taking so long, thank god we have the master negotiator at the helm.

Preordered, based on what, Strategic Uncertainty? I would love to be a fly on the wall of any C-suite in the country right now.

Don't let this put you off your next latte, surely the barista steaming the milk is every bit as effective as some wasteful federal food safety program. Right?

I love the way he frames it, as though this somehow involves a concession on Russia’s part. Clearly, it is time for the US to withdraw since the only thing this administration seems intent on doing is appeasing Russia and lifting sanctions. I wonder what Trump's cut will be?

I guess we are gifting the African continent to Putin and Xi. I fail to see the “great” in this. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

This guy must wake up every morning and look at himself in the mirror as he is putting on his make-up and think "who can I f*ck over today?" www.businessinsider.com/save-plan-bl...

Clearly Barbie doesn't grasp the inherent power of the three quarters of a trillion dollars in US debt held by China.

The only thing these policies will do is bolster the cross border black market trade.

I have seen short clips from this program recently, but it is genuinely worth watching the entire thing. It is understandable that some people have genuine concerns of fairness, but it is largely due to a lack of any real understanding of the issues and the safeguards already in place.

But more importantly John Oliver shows how the right is doing real harm to kids by inflating demonstrably false information merely to score points with the MAGA base and to deflect attention to other more important issues. youtu.be/flSS1tjoxf0?...

We have all lived under the assumption that institutions of higher learning, the courts and the media would hold the line against a tyrannical government, call out and resist abuses of power. Turns out they were nothing more than an American Maginot Line that collapsed without a fight.

You have got to love the Financial Times. Clearly not oligarch owned. www.ft.com/content/b418...

It may be worth considering that he is decapitating our cybersecurity apparatus because he knows the bigger threat is now from his benefactors.

Whew, I am sure glad he cleared that up, I will definitely sleep better now.

You just know that those crafty penguins have signed a Belt and Road agreement with China in anticipation of this day. Trump’s economic team have once again proven they are smarter than penguins.

Security breach, what security breach?

It's just a gay barber? Let's see what happens when it's just a gay FOX News host, Jesse. 😉

As a break from the onslaught of bleak news, a little uplifting musical globalism. Enjoy playingforchange.com/music/crossr...

Great news for all the South African refugees who are being recruited to replace all of the current refugees that are being deported. The will need a discrete way to bring in all of their emerald mine money.

If someone actively encourages a parent to starve or beat his child to death they could be charged as an accessory. If you use a podcast to spread misinformation that results in that child dying you are an "influencer" and "free speech advocate."

“America First” will ultimately result in America last because global influence will never come from bullying or threats. Trump is the greatest gift the US could ever give to China.

Unfortunately Miller isn’t a lunatic, but rather an intelligent, xenophobic, white nationalist who knows that fear sells.

Meanwhile, in Austin, NatalCon! A gathering of far-right influencers, Pizzagate conspiracy nuts and White supremacists are gathered to discuss how to populate the world with a new master race. The pronatalist movement is a darling of the tech elites including Musk. www.wired.com/story/natal-...

If there is anyone who deserves to be sent to a Salvadoran prison, it is these two cretins. However, in the f*cked up world in which we find ourselves, they are more likely to show up at a Mar-A-Lago party. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

But then they fired all of the intelligence capability and replaced it with Gabbard and Ratcliffe.
