If Pete Hegseth were in charge of D-Day, every Allied soldier would have drowned on the way to the beach, and Trump would have secretly alerted Hitler that it was coming.

Interesting to see them shift in real time to demand that taxpayers fund the ballroom

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

Is it me, or does it seem like Tim Walz is the candidate Republicans are most afraid of in 2028?

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

Schumer is up to the challenge of being a Walmart Greeter.

None of these people are particularly clever, thoughtful, or disciplined. It's the most ridiculous cabal of nincompoops ever assembled.

If you needed more evidence that Bari Weiss isn't the sharpest crayon in the box, the fact that she (a) personally spiked the story (b) in a way that left her fingerprints all over the decision (c) at the last possible minute, thus guaranteeing maximal exposure and blowback.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Concentration camps with blanket immunity from prosecution seems like a bad thing.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims. If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

One of the most important charts in the world - from Rush Doshi in the New York Times. Without its allies, the United States is woefully behind China in metrics of raw economic power. Too bad the US president does not seem to get it. 1/

I call bullshit. They are just making shit up now and while we are at it there are legitimate questions about Tyler Robinson now as well. Starting with he didn't have a rifle when he went up the stairs to the roof and he didn't have one when he jumped off the roof.

The Skydance - Paramount merger moved forward because Paramount fired Colbert. Firing Kimmel is how Nexstar will get Trump's FCC to approve their purchase of Tegna broadcasting.

Release the Epstein files!!!

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Russia was never a hoax The 2020 election wasn’t stolen Tariffs are a tax on you Haitians didn’t eat pets The Epstein files exist

People are slamming Mamdani for “trying to do too much at the age of 33” and frankly they have a point because we have zero examples from history of a 33-year-old brown immigrant who opposed the elites & condemned greed while demanding access to food, healthcare, housing, & loving all thy neighbors.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Democrats voting with crypto bros and talking about "abundance" instead of actually talking about the policies people would actually vote for is, at best, negligence and at worst, sabotage.

Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · last yr.

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

I want a forensic analysis of where Musk's gang of trust fund assholes were leading up to the election. I'm not convinced the election was fair anymore. Maybe I never was.

A Chicago Bulls hoodie makes Kilmar Garcia a gang member the same way a shiny gold cross makes Karoline Leavitt a Christian.

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

#HandsOff Tigard, OR Just me and 500 of my closest friends.

I've been saying for a while that it's only a matter of time before Union organizers become targets. I'm reality, if we don't become targets, we're probably not doing our jobs.

We are heartbroken and outraged to learn that Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez was violently detained by ICE while dropping his partner off at work. He is reportedly being held at a private detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. 🧵

Sex is great and all, but have you tried empowering workers? Let's go #SiemensWorkersUnited!

VERY IMPORTANT: This is just a trick. It's a way for Democratic senator to say they oppose the bill while letting it pass. It's not much of a trick. I mean, everyone will see it. But still this is simply a way of hoodwinking constituents. If they want to vote for it just vote for it.

One more thing: Punchbowl reports that some Democratic senators are considering allowing the CR to proceed to a floor vote, lowering the threshold from 60 to 51 votes. Any such vote is the same as a vote for the CR but with even less integrity. Please encourage your colleagues to be better than this

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.
