When the lads are arguing over whose fault it was the stag eluded the hunt and you have an actual arrow sprouting from your chest.

If the U.S. military does confront drug cartels in Mexico, it will find itself facing battle with its own weapons.

"One clinical psychologist [said] he considers Trump such a 'classic' pathological narcissist that he is actually 'archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example' of the characteristics of the disorder he displays."

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Please. Let's keep the rivers clean, they are life.💙💚💛

Department of Education employees set out-of-office email responses to inform recipients they'd be unable to respond until after the shutdown hours later, many people realised their response message had been changed to blame Senate Democrats for the entire shutdown www.wired.com/story/govern...

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

Please tell me any undocumented person that could afford a ticket to the Super Bowl. What an idiot

When a person hates people so much. You can be sure they hate themselves too.

Dear US Military, The enemy within is your Commander-in-Chief. Let that sink in!

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

If your ruler is bragging about gold, it's time for him to return to wallowing in mud!

That lame brain Fetterman (D) and Cortez Masto (D) both voted with the damn Republicans! WTF! 🤬

Rep. Andy Harris: "I guarantee you China and Russia do not have woke policies in their military."

A government shutdown is the forced cessation of most nonessential operations and services due to lack of funding. These are operations that are not deemed necessary to protect national security, public health, public safety, or property.

Pete Hegseth's tirade is a self-report. He wants to abuse. He wants to hurt. He wants violence. Pete Hegseth is dangerous for America and for the entire world.

Forcing all those generals to witness how amateurish and foolish both Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are firsthand might increase the chances of illegal orders being ignored in the future.

Mike Johnson is shouting on social media, the news, & to anyone who will listen that "it's all the democrat's fault"...yet he has literally canceled votes & locked the doors to the house chambers. It'd be great if the gop could manage to grow the fuck up & stop coddling fascism.

How many generals are pacifists?

I get asked all the time, “Does my voice even matter? Does calling my members of Congress even do anything?” YES! Your calls are the reason why the public lands sale was taken out of the big, ugly bill. So keep calling, speaking up, and using your voice!

@annettedittert.bsky.social @anneapplebaum.bsky.social These issues were mentioned by the French Foreign Minister in his lecture (in English) at Harvard earlier this week - have a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qxd...

For the Epsteinth time, there is no war zone in Portland.

“They can only win when we don’t all stick together.” Fear is contagious, but so is COURAGE. NO THRONES. NO CROWNS. NO KINGS. 🗓️October 18 📍Everywhere

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

WarriorEthos™️: Vanity project. Propaganda film. I wonder how seasoned military brass feel about being forced to leave their posts across the globe to be extras in a glossy PR video for Pete Hegseth. It’s giving Kristi Noem at CECOT.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

The U.S. government will collect a multibillion-dollar fee from the American investors who will take over TikTok. Some experts call the fee and other deals like it "extortion."

Life unfolds in contrasts: withering and blossoming side by side...

Bravo to New Mexico on two fronts: 📌 Universal Childcare for every family 📌 Special Session next week to address Medicaid cuts and exploding insurance premiums caused by Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and to take on the corporate hospital crisis This should be nationwide!

Empathy is under attack — but it remains vital for leadership and connection

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jimmy Kimmel's return monologue watched by nearly 6.3 million viewers on broadcast TV, despite blackouts in many cities.

Hans Christian Andersen really cooked with that “The Emperor's New Clothes” story.

What time is the rapture, though?

“We still have to live under that — that fear of losing our identity, losing our culture, our religion,” Leonard Peltier says about his continued commitment to Indigenous rights. “The struggle still goes on for me. I’m not going to give up.”

When the President calls for the DOJ to target his political opponents—AND publicly—that’s a sign we’re heading for increasing authoritarian behavior. We’re going to have to fight like hell to protect our democracy.

Your Members of Congress need to hear from you. Urge Senate Democrats to keep holding their ground. If you’re represented by Sen. Fetterman or Rep. Golden (or Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, who was recorded as not voting), be sure to let them know how you feel about their support for the GOP’s proposals.

There’s no need to wonder why nations seek to flatter Trump. He’s a simpleton, a fool, a thin-skinned buffoon capable of understanding nothing beyond his own id. Around the world, leaders mock him for the ease with which they sway him. And they bemoan—or worse, celebrate—a leaderless United States.
