Senator Mullin on January 6th

Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.

when you get an improv response you weren't ready for

I wouldn't be surprised at all. Do you think Ms Noem's beaux yeux mean as much to him as the powers of the behind-the-scenes secretary? He takes no salary as a "special" employee, you don't think he might take kickbacks on all those contracts? www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Heartbroken to learn that my friend, godfather of Canadian sociolinguistics, and Miles Davis biographer, Jack Chambers has moved on.

Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing. He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission. She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.

"We also urge Iranian diplomats around the world to request asylum and to help us shape a ​new and better Iran" www.france24.com/en/trump-urg... That's totally not "nation-building", right? Right?

The fact that not one politician, not Trump, not Vance, not Hegseth was at the airport to meet the first four fallen soldiers tells me everything I need to know about this administration. Evil to the core Corrupt to the core With EVERYTHING being said, all lies.

The families of U.S. servicemembers killed in Donald Trump’s war against Iran have gone public with tributes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth raged about coverage of their deaths making “the president look bad.” A🧵 www.thedailybeast.com/dead-soldier...

Don't know if he's picked out a title for Rubio when he's the ruler of Cuba

Their presence brings out his inner sports couch potato. He's not talking about his IRL plans, but his plans for what he's going to be watching on war TV, kibbitzing

Donald keeps looking for criminals in the wrong places.

In Iran planning, we're already up to seven months

Montana senator (and ex–Navy Seal) breaks protester's arm www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

At a billion dollars a day that's around $210 billion? www.the-independent.com/news/world/a... Uh-huh

I'm very mad at her for committing perjury in Senate hearings and throwing away hundreds of millions in taxpayer money advertising herself and not least making me look bad, so I'm making her Viceroy of the Avengers of the Americas with no increase in her current salary.

BREAKING: U.S. Central Command is now saying internally that this war against Iran is likely to last through September, per POLITICO

nah, there was no thought put into either; I was there. Rumsfeld forbade phase 4 planning, They didn't know what Najaf & Karbala were

I'm deciding the next ayatollah I'm destroying the folks in the way If you'll permit This is gonna be lit I am having a heck of a say

It's not totally imaginary. They seem to be hoping to build an alternative imperial reality in Latin America to replace decolonial institutions like the OAS nationalinterest.org/feature/the-... the way the "Board of Peace" is to replace the UN Security Council or whatever.

"Demand is so great that programs to mentor attorneys to file habeas cases are emerging... “I’m on all these listservs where people are saying, who can help me in Arizona, who can help me in Mississippi, and people are stepping up and helping each other...” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

JFC It’s going to be a free for all of war crimes and crimes against humanity from now. This has russia painted all over it. Where torture is a way of life.

feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined

doing everything you can to kneecap renewable energy development and then immediately launching an illegal war that threatens non-renewables and may result in a catastrophic increase in energy prices is the republican party in a nutshell

NEW: A judge ordered the US government to refund Trump's illegally collected tariffs. It was theft in broad daylight. I'm pushing Donald Trump to give the American people their money back.

He may be trying to get someone more incompetent, but in this case I think equally incompetent may be the best pecan hope for

It's a bit more complicated. The quote has been around for decades, and has a half-honest origin which Quote Investigator has nailed down with their usual excellence quoteinvestigator.com/2011/11/07/r...

Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him “PT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.

It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.

This year's Lusitania crime perpetrated by US?

So apparently the Iranian frigate was unarmed per requirements of the Milan 2026 naval exercises, and we knew the ship was unarmed and defenseless. I really cannot understand the decision to fire on her accept as performative sadism. www.middleeasteye.net/news/iranian...

Is it possible Trump hired her only as a backdoor way of getting Lewandowski without Senate confirmation?

Apt characterization of the Article I Crisis

I have an idea. Here’s my idea: We should have had this meeting last week before we started bombing Iran. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

This war isn’t an emergency that requires us to give the president more latitude. It’s a monstrosity that requires that judges, lawmakers and above all citizens work to preserve the integrity of elections and the republic.

Trump at SOTU, one week ago: "The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens" Trump to US citizens in danger now from his own actions: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cunningham has for years crossed the aisle to help Republicans achieve parts of their agenda. Cunningham had voted to override 15 vetoes from Democratic governors Roy Cooper and Josh Stein since 2003. Democratic voters had had enough. I don't know what took them so long.

Also Gen Z men are overwhelmingly more likely never to have been married. Boomers have been there.

This Day in Labor History: March 5, 1972. The workers at General Motors’ plant in Lordstown, Ohio went on strike after authorizing it two days prior. They weren't on strike for traditional reasons, not really. They just hated their jobs. Let's talk about this unique moment in labor history!
