The so-called “war” with Venezuela was supposedly about stopping drugs… yet they’re out there seizing an oil tanker.

Tariffs are like throwing rocks in the economic engine, then asking the Fed to fix the noise by adjusting the radio volume. Interest rates can tune demand, but they can’t magically make a trade war painless.

The real danger is that immigrant groups will vote in brown people, says white South African who held extraordinary political power despite zero people voting for him

"Decker said they’re now seeing cases where ICE agents violate constitutional protections on a daily basis. She and other immigration attorneys advise clients about the rights they should have but warn about the areas where ICE agents have been violating them."

RELEASE THE SECOND STRIKE VIDEO!!!

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

I sincerely hope that Democrats are making a video library of video shorts of Trump to play when the next Democratic president takes office. When they criticise the new President then they should play the stupid insane shit Trump said on the same topic.

'Decapitated bodies, death threats, that's our daily life': Tennis players, helpless targets of angry gamblers

If you can’t love Henry Cuellar leveraging whatever the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus is into large cash payments and then scamming Trump into giving him a pardon, you’ve lost your ability to appreciate real politics. 🫡🫡🫡

⭕️ At Doha Forum 2025, Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign affairs chief, urged a renewed commitment to “international law.” Yet as Dr @tparsi.bsky.social (X: @tparsi) notes, the EU has imposed no sanctions on Israel through 26 months of it committing genocide, several member states keep selling it...

The right spent years dunking on the left for wanting “participation trophies,” but they bow down to a grown ass man who needs everyone to pretend he’s won 38 consecutive trophies at the golf course he owns.

I saw this referenced in a talk last week and bought it instantly for the title alone.

Do you know what I really love? Sitting in my house.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Sadism is the lifeblood of MAGA politics. Hard to overstate how disgusting and embarrassing for our country it is for the US Secretary of Defense to be doing this:

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

I've got new details coming soon on what lawmakers saw on the video of the second strike and what they heard in the classified briefing today. It's deeply unnerving stuff. Stay tuned.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

This is nutty logic. Not even neocons went this far. Until now

Yep

Can a Democrat in congress take this cognitive test that Trump keeps blabbering about so we can see wtf the contents are?

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

🚨NEW: Trump Bribing Honduran Voters To Restore Narcotrafficking Government to Power The US Pres. endorsed the nominee of the right-wing party, while pledging to pardon its most recent president, who sits... Report by José Luis Granados Ceja for Drop Site News www.dropsitenews.com/p/honduras-e...

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.” It’s almost as if there were signs!

I am on your team but many liberals are so racist against nonwestern society especially china and russia And so ignorant about such societies Stop the racism liberals please. You sound like dick cheney

On the one hand, Trump is clearly locked in a downward spiral where his authoritarian ambitions alienate more people, which leads to more authoritarian actions, which alienate more people. On the other hand, 36% of Americans support Trump even after he called for murdering Congressional Democrats.

"Ah, nothing. I'm just a gutter racist, see."

The latest evidence that America is becoming a land of idiots:

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

A deep betrayal of the Make America Healthy Again Movement. They are poisoning our food and water. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The Trump administration wanted to do something about affordability, so it cut a few highly visible tariffs. What does that suggest they believe the rest of their tariffs — which remain in place — are doing to affordability?

Again, she is welcome to caucus with the Democrats at any time until the lawless authoritarianism ends.

"Would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a Mamdani administration?" Trump: "I would" Ackman just started throwing up and crying.

It still surprises me how smart empirical liberals when it comes to foreign policy are so neocon (interventionist) And ethnocentric about nonwestern countries especially omes that dont bow to usa. Part of it is bc most have never lived for real in global south ? Much more nuance is needed

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.

Some controversial ideas of mine: 1. It’s better to say things voters agree with than things they disagree with 2. When in office, it’s important to try to do a good job of governing

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax. The anti-Robin Hood. Trump's current tariff settings effectively impose a tax rate on low-income households that's roughly TRIPLE that on high-income folks. That's not the way taxes are supposed to work. [source: budgetlab.yale.edu/research/sta...

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.
