Trump wasn’t the first to do this with the Nobel Peace Prize. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...

The Pentagon will cut the military retirement pay of Sen. Mark Kelly for what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the Arizona Democrat’s “seditious” statements on a video telling service members they have the right to refuse to execute illegal orders. Read more: cnb.cx/495FHLo

I have one thing to say about waking up to petro-kidnapping: I spent many years listening to the stories and inner lives of the soldiers who fought the last petro-war. I wish devoutly that we wouldn't do that to a new generation. Fake-o wars damage and kill real soldiers.

I never say I Love You It is a deceitful phrase with no fixed meaning Words twisted into whatever the speaker wants to mean or whatever the listener wants to hear But I care for you Adore you Smile when I see you Miss you when you're gone Revel in your company Wish for your joy That will have to do.

I admit, I couldn't pass a "quirk check." Most of you couldn't either. Which is why I'm here. theonion.com/texas-bans-b...

Nobody can sum up our national situation quite the way OC can.

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

A group of riders travel 330 miles on horseback to Reconciliation Park in Mankato, Minnesota, the site of the 1862 hanging. The 2025 Dakota 38 Memorial Ride began on Wednesday, December 10 with a prayer fire for the safety of the horses and riders. www.nativesunnews.today/articles/rem...

That’s because we are being governed by, say it with me now, a death cult.

MAGA: “This is not what we voted for!" LEOPARD: “Shut up. I’m eating."

No matter how long my day has been, when Polly curls up at the foot of the bed and rests her head on my foot, not a goddamn thing else matters.

Is this a ritual, touching the dark intersection of sacred and profane? Or regression therapy, breaking through walls to unlock the pieces you carefully locked away? Is it an exercise in sensual excess, nerve endings lit up with your taste for the extreme? They blur together in this mindless moment.

The other reporters in the White House press corps are apparently waiting until the president actually takes a swing at one of their female colleagues before they say anything

Who has made this 🤣

Oh, I’m not letting go of this one.

I think I'm in love with Newsom's press group. I might vote for them for president.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Ritual humiliation is a MAGA fetish.

@kenwhite.bsky.social has summed up the tortured rationale of our logic-challenged War Sec and his acolytes more succinctly than I thought it could be done.

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

People have been so kind to Bobby during the more than two months that he has been in his clinical trial at Ronald Reagan Medical Center at UCLA -- the support that he has received while his doctors are "rebuilding" his kidneys has brought him this far! Chip in $10, $18, $27, $50, $100 or more!

@bencollins.bsky.social The Onion has captured the condition of HHS to an unparalleled and dreadful degree. theonion.com/fda-approves...

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

We love our furry friends! Every year thousands of cats and dogs end up in shelters across New Mexico. That’s why we are so grateful for Animal Humane NM and other shelters who care for them on their way to their forever homes. youtu.be/ZM9paYZTZOE

“Washington, DC is now a totally safe city. And you can walk down any street in Washington, and you’re going to be just fine. And I want to thank the National Guard.” – Trump yesterday, lying that Washington, DC hasn’t had a murder in 6 months. There had been 62 murders in DC the last six months.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Every time I do one of these book and art giveaways I get a bunch of unfollows from the anti-book-and-art-giveaway crowd and I always just think, That's cool. I get it. Free books and art are two more of the major blights of the modern world, alongside climate change denial and sex trafficking.

Massie: “I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is going to be embarrassed because he went to rape island. How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when there are men, rich men, in handcuffs being perp walked to the jail. And until then, this is still a cover up.”

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Trump welcomes MBS to the White House today to discuss a new arms deal. Trump's family also has lucrative ongoing real estate deals with the Saudis. He'll overlook the murder of Jamal Khashoggi to pad his pockets and boost the bottom line of the military industrial complex.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

Bluesky may have its issues, but when we really need a thread analyzing the ballistic qualities of sandwiches, the Skyverse provides.

$39 a year folks. Thats what killing 600,000 to date will save you. Would it be nice to live on a world where every country with the means worked to make the world a better place? Yes. Of course. In the meantime if you say preventing the deaths of millions isn’t worth $3 a month, fuck you.
