The Pope is WEAK on crime is so gd funny; I am HOWLING

holy shit he actually conceded folks, they tell you they’re invincible they tell you they’re inevitable they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting and absolutely none of that is true

all over the world, these guys are just exact xerox copies of each other. in this case, "istvan" is pronounced "JAYR-id"

There’s cheering ’cross the world tonight As Viktor Orban takes the L But louder still the cheers will rise When Donald Trump heads down to Hell

BREAKING: DOJ investigates the Hungarian electorate for Mortgage Fraud

In decisive challenge to Iran, US takes over Gulf blockade

We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Breaking: Trump promises mass pardons to all of his staff before he leaves office. He says everyone who came within “200 feet of the Oval Office” will be fully pardoned for any crimes committed. 🔗: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Brutal.

Only a master deal maker could achieve the status quo of 5 weeks ago in exchange for accomplishing nothing of value and turning his country into a global pariah. Thank you sir

I'm beginning to suspect that Mr. Trump is not a very good dealmaker.

We have enough money to fund All The Science. All The Good and Useful Things. We just don't use it that way. Instead, we use it to fund Death and Destruction and Deportation. So get riled up over that, how about.

Christ preached forgiveness, mercy, and peace. A guy who beats his girlfriends and has four gin-and-tonics before breakfast says we should kill for Jesus in Iran. For busy church-goers, it’s hard to know who to believe.

I’m glad Trump and Hegseth “totally destroyed” Iran’s air defense systems last week so none of our aircraft would get shot down.

Has Iranian state TV paid a $787 million settlement for spreading lies about an election?

Reminder to next dem government: take all of SpaceX’s federal contracts and give the money back to NASA.

Artemis II lifts off

She is just completely making this up. No such chair exists.

So the goal is to travel back in time and prevent Trump from tearing up the JCPOA that Obama worked out that already delivered all these things? Super. Good luck with that, Petey.

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

The key to understanding Trump II is that it’s an administration predicated on doing a national murder-suicide for the crime of embarrassing Trump in 2020

Matthew 6:5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

Mar-a-Lago is represented by a Democrat now, Joe The most powerful man in your state of SC just lost his job - by 23 votes Your bitterness about voting is defeatist and foolish.

Once upon a time if an American president explicitly declared he was considering committing war crimes, there'd be a controversy.

This should be front page news across America. Preparing for a U.S. invasion, Denmark deployed soldiers to Greenland with orders to blow up runways and brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated alongside them. 🧵

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

Why does the fawning media always call these stains on our democracy “a first” like Trump broke the four-minute mile as opposed to the Constitution

if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things

patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after

The NY Times saves its harshest skepticism for progressives. Instead of being impressed by 3,000+ coordinated protests, NYT dismisses the value of “hitting a number” and asks if No Kings will be “a primal scream that fades into a whimper.” F off, NY Times. We'll defeat fascism w/o you. (Gift link)

They started an illegal war of choice during an ideological, racist and sexist purge led by right wing podcasters calling targets on a sieg heiling billionaire’s website, believing their superior genes and brutality would lead to rapid victory and are now facing defeat bsky.app/profile/dunc...

Clark: House Republicans refuse to take yes for an answer. Mike Johnson said that this bill is a joke. That is another classic we can add to their lines about how they feel about the American people and what they are going through right now. We can add it to “affordability is a hoax”

Clark: Republicans won't fund TSA, FEMA, or the Coast Guard unless we green light more terror in our communities. That is what they care about. That is more important to them than anything else. Funding ICE and the paramilitary force that they have turned into.

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

Just to be very clear: The Trump DOJ is stealing $1.2 million of your money to gift one of Trump’s cronies, who pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with, and whose suit against the government had already been tossed by a judge.

Lindsey Graham has a secret.

Krugman does a recap on the insider trading yesterday open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

An actual war hero from Maine, Joshua Chamberlain, quit his job at a college and learned how to defeat Lee by reading a book about how to be a military officer. He read a book. Anyway. They should have hanged Lee outside the White House.

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

Here is what you need to know about the SAVE Act: 1. It started as a stunt to protect Mike Johnson's speakership. 2. It has evolved into a massive voter suppression bill. 3. It won't pass. 4. When it fails Trump will escalate. 5. We will fight and win. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

This is completely unbearable. But also like… why are his insane ramblings never summarized like this in the media? We gotta wait for a substack guy to put it together like this?
