I second this motion. Let's vote.

Rep Frost’s account of viewing the Epstein files is JAW DROPPING Please keep calling your congressman people about this. @hcrichardson.bsky.social is doing such important work here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=10eO...

Might be time to bring back war criminal trials that include rich people this time

The Improv War.

will rain upon them, you fucking psycho

"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'" Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice. Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

“Markets rejoice as man who always says what everyone wants to hear tells them what they want to hear”

An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Q: "You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school…but you're the only person in your government saying this…Why are you the only person saying this?" Trump: "Because I just don't know enough about it."

Schrödinger’s War

He's been spinning this stupid lie for a while now.

Is *anyone* going to ask him how they went from “totally obliterated” to ready to attack us within a week?

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

What a wild headline. "Trump open to Khamenei being killed if he doesn't cede to U.S. demands" Who's ordering the killing? And we just do assassinations bow? This reads like a Mafia hit. Gross, embarrassing, and, ofc, dangerous. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Since Rep. Andy Ogles is back in the news for the typically bigoted, boneheaded reasons, it's another opportunity to point out that he once raised $25K to open a cemetery for miscarried babies. He then ditched the idea and can't explain what happened to the money.

Nearly 6 hours since a GOP congressman said “Muslims don’t belong in American society,” not a single member of Republican leadership in the House will weigh in.

an actual news org would update a story when it's original headline and story were proven out of date and incorrect. But this is the free press, a MAGA-coded newsletter where zinging the mayor of new york is a top priority.

why, you could even say the mission was accomplished

1. Is Lindsey Graham the U.S. Secretary of State now? Is he coordinating these threats against a U.S. ally with the White House? Now he is demanding that a top U.S. ally enter a regime-change war? And then threatening, “Hopefully this changes soon… if not, consequences will follow.”

Trump speaking after markets close is usually a sign he’ll say something bad for the economy, and the White House communications team doesn’t want a graph with the line going down and blaring red numbers with a minus sign on the screen with him when he does.

send JD out there to tell people to check the pressure on their tires and remind them they can carpool

The first ever winner of the “FIFA Peace Prize” is also likely be the first head of state to host a World Cup while bombing one of the participating countries.

The Republican Party:

He has also deported dozens of dissidents back to Iran, where they were likely executed.

I was not prepared for this. Thank goodness there’s a box of tissues on my desk.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

That is the logic of anti-dei reactionary colorblindness. Acknowledging discrimination against a particular group is inherently discriminatory. bsky.app/profile/bren...

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump bought Netflix and Warner Bros bonds at height of bidding war with Paramount www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right. But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

Trumpers during Biden: "I did that!" stickers with Biden pointing at the gas pump. Trump: PAY THE PRICE, BITCHES. Good luck with that. It's a cult but do you think Republicans are going to buy bikes?

Why I've been so reluctant to share posts that don't link to a news source. If you just post a video untethered to any sources, sorry, I don't care how viral it is, I'm not sharing until I've confirmed it's real.

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

LOOOOVE to get up in darkness after the mornings had finally started turning light. There’s no good reason to change our clocks twice a year. Can we please stop the insanity?

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

ok this is at least very funny

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

A good example of why we need answers about strategy: We're destroying refineries and oil production. If the goal is to immiserate the Iranians and cut off their income, fine. (Not great thinking, but understandable.) But if it's regime change...uh, they're gonna need that rebuilt. So why do that?

This is an irresponsible, misleading post that misrepresents what Leavitt said. There's enough awful stuff happening. Don't confuse people.

So the thing is “God said there would be wars, don’t worry, God is still in control” is legitimate Christian teaching. But the corollary isn’t “therefore you won’t suffer, good Christian”, it’s “therefore do not be dismayed by your suffering, Christian, it’s part of God‘s plan”.
