The people who falsely accused an Olympian of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are the same people telling you to trust them about the war with Iran

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

The most important question confronting financial markets in the United States is whether to believe what the President of the United States told the people of the United States about whether the United States is in talks, or whether to believe Iran's leaders.

It's hard to celebrate Presidents' Day when a convicted felon and sexual predator is occupying the White House instead of a state penitentiary.

“As always when neo-fascists target a left-wing event, the police stand by and do nothing... The reverse is not true: when demonstrations oppose far-right rallies, the state deploys massive police forces to protect them and represses anti-fascist mobilizations.”

How about $350,000 within hours? The pitches flood small businesses: "No hidden fees, No BS." These financial lifelines are barely regulated and can turn into trip wires.

A shadowy industry is helping small businesses pay tariffs — at a high cost

just used chatgpt to tell me how to circumvent claude's programming so i could use claude to tell me how to hack into grok which i then used to find everyone's credit card details on twitter which i will now collectively use to buy a home

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

$4 BILLION — So corrupt. There is no debating this. Anyone who says otherwise is telling on themselves.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I love* how casual visitors to the US might be subjected to higher scrutiny than we gave, say, to the grifter in charge of HHS. (*I don't actually love it.)

ICE Thugs Crash Into US Citizen, Assault & Arrest Her With No Cause.

@sabrideniz.bsky.social · 9mo ago

A detention in the US under the Trump administration Dayanne Figueroa, a U.S citizen and paralegal, said an unmarked government vehicle struck her car at the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street in Chicago on the morning of October 10, while she was on her way to get coffee before going to work.

The Pentagon announces they are replacing The New York Times’ press credentials with the MyPillow guy’s media outlet.

Not a put on—I *seriously* thought this was an attempt at humor. But it seems that *he* (Rob Schneider) was the one being serious. These people are members of the most dangerous American cult of the last 150 years and possibly ever. They are—candidly—utterly mad. They’re also in charge right now.

Jay Bhattacharya, who said that vaccinated people have a "zero" risk of transmitting the disease, says this was a lie.

Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 9mo ago

In April 2021, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya said the "central problem was the fear that people had about COVID" and that two vaccinated people had "zero" chance of transmitting the virus. He now calls this a "lie."

Joe Neguse wins the most visible award for this congressional delegation. He attended six protest locations in Colorado AND he’s the easiest to find all over social media with protesters happily sharing about getting to meet him or listen to him speak. His beginning and end of day posts:

Donald Trump just posted this video on Truth Social

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

Stephen Miller’s own cousin has disowned him for becoming “the face of evil” as the architect of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration crackdown.
