First time since 2002 that Olympic curling won't have John Shuster in it.

Weird how many racists like to self-identify themselves as racists.

I would say that he is a fool and a weakling but that would imply that his trade war was ever anything else but a scam to generate insider information so friends and family could get rich shorting stocks. (2/2)

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

epstein emails released and everyone coming out as a pedophile to defend donald trump

admitting to statutory rape to own the libs

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

A knock-on effect of Trump suddenly looking weak is people feel emboldened to push back against his flunkies too. Turns out the media knows exactly how to do this when they want to

Even Republicans aren't into the "Department of War" rebranding. Only 42% approve, which is low in such a polarized environment. Plus Democrats and Independents are solidly opposed. Americans want a professional, not unhinged military. Graph and data from here: goodauthority.org/news/most-am...

Americans oppose rebranding the Department of Defense as "Department of War" 54-22, with 36% strongly opposed. And that's not in ignorance. Asked if this change narrows the Pentagon's focus, a plurality says yes. But asked if that'll make Americans safer, a majority says no. The public gets it.

Official U.S. Government account refers to its citizens as "imbecilic morons".

Way to put out that fire, sir.

They straight up had an authoritarian rainbow coalition but were too incompetent and racist to keep it together

“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

Please remember the initial claim was that Trump wasn’t in the files at all

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats. Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives. You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

1000%

NYT: “Epstein emails a distraction from the Republican shutdown victory” WSJ: “We estimate the Epstein files to be 67% Trump by weight”

“There are Epsteins everywhere for those with eyes to see”

emerging reports about possibly imminent US military attack on venezuela. there can be no doubt about it, certainly not in the coverage: such an attack would be an act of aggression, lacking any basis in international law. we'll get sophistic arguments about self-defense but none will be legit.

Whether it's garbage NYT left-bait or right wing flood-the-zone nonsense that we all pile on to, we are letting the wrong people set our overall information agenda in a very deep and fundamental way. And it's a very serious mistake.

One of the things I worry most about is the Trump administration actually believes the things they say on TV.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

This stuff is so crazy. Trump is now just letting his allies that helped him nearly overthrow the government take turns stealing taxpayer money. Playing us all for suckers. The corruption of this regime will leave an indelible mark on our nation. 🇺🇸 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Do political science profs have to explain to their students that, for most of American history, it was actually borderline unthinkable that elected officials and their spokespersons would constantly talk like trashy reality show contestants?

“I’m a Grok guy” is the single most embarrassing phrase ever uttered in the course of human history.

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

There's a tendency among a certain type of poster to assume everything they hate about politics and the state can be blamed on avarice, and I'm here to tell you it's actually worse than that.

Diego Rivera.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

It is substantively not funny because of its implications, but “YOU CAN’T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF COOKING AND EATING A FROZEN TURKEY THAT COMES IN PLASTIC FROM THE SUPERMARKET WITH THE HEART AND LIVER AND NECK IN A LIL PAPER BAG STUFFED UP ITS GAZOO” is really, really out there.

Honestly if billionaires and diehard MAGA people only cared about making money, we'd probably be in considerably less danger right now.

Found it. bsky.app/profile/bord...

my politics are that i just want a world where there are no 17 year olds desperate enough to let Matt Gaetz exploit them

My reaction to this sort of thing is an unprintable TOS violation. Whole fucking point of this country is that we don't do the whole blood descent from a common ancestor or unified by religion thing. The paperwork is the fucking point.

i still don't know how people don't want struggle with the fact that the electorate voted for the left and not treat it as an moral indictment of american society

It's all intellectual scaffolding to obscure the fact that they are bigots no different than the Klan.

MAGA, amirite?

A Black Hawk helicopter. SWAT teams repelling to the roof. 300 agents. Flash-bang grenades. A TV crew. “It’s 20,000 of them running through my house like we got Saddam Hussein in the closet." For all that, fed prosecutors filed no criminal charges against anyone who was arrested. Stunning report.

"taking jobs from Americans" really gives away the game. This guy just hates immigrants and thinks they don't belong here, and can be treated as sub-humans.

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Both reasons, I think! US doing a bang-up job all around with Canada.

Oh my god IT'S THE MEME!!!

Civil society has to hold together and pull forward until the Democratic Party changes. It makes no sense to wait for the Democrats as a party. What makes sense is shifting the ground underneath them.
