Dr. Ben Carson on the importance of childhood nutrition: “[It] comes all the way back to our national defense. Because if we have healthy people, we’re going to have much more capable people of defending ourselves. Think about that.”

We are living in the dumbest timeline.

Imagine a world where every ICE detention facility is fighting to be titled "the deadliest". Yep, we're living in it.

After a visit to the Stewart Detention Facility in Lumpkin, Ga., lawmakers expressed serious concerns over the conditions of people detained. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said the facility needs close. Stewart is known as the deadliest Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility

Just because we (the US) buy shit, doesn't make us as powerful as we think we are. Economics is simple. Those who have more, win. In this case, the world, vs US, has more people, resources, and patience. Without collaboration, humility, and vision, the US will lose.

Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)@axidentaliberal.bsky.social · 4d ago

Trump has shown the world how the once vaunted US military can lose a war to an overmatched foe in Iran Now he’ll show us how the once vaunted US economic machine will lose a trade war to an overmatched foe in Canada Then he’ll try to tell us how America is “respected again” or some such nonsense

Agreed. The only place this happened was at the circle jerk of her handlers writing that bullshit.

Trump steals everything. Including unearned credit #blues

Siri, define the term "Providing aid and comfort to the enemy."

Trump praises North Korea's dictator as "unthreatening and respectful” and says he has ordered the Pentagon to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea because they are "hostile" to Pyongyang. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/u...

Reporter: Family members of service members are concerned about conditions on the LIncoln. Trump: No they’re not. Reporter: Has the deployment gone on too long? Trump: No. Not nearly long enough.

Buttigieg is incredibly smart and, if America ever gets past it's biases, he would be an amazing president.

Politico@politico.com · 2w ago

Pete Buttigieg’s efforts to help Dems regain power are taking on a new focus: state legislatures. He is backing a crop of mostly long-shot, down-ballot Dems in Indiana – the first move in what his team says will be a number of state-by-state endorsements. 🔗 politi.co/4wUBZ0v

Every maga moron will ignore everything in this except the one statement "I'd like to stress that the greenhouse effect makes life on Earth possible". They will all stop watching at that point, bookmark the video at the very start of that statement, and go back to blaming Biden for the heat.

Vance: I’ve had moments where I felt the presence of God. A friend and I were talking about Christianity and there was this moment where a glass fell off the wall. I think an atheist would dismiss that, but it felt like God was trying to send me a message. #cdnpoli

Democrats would be doing so much better, if they would just stop trying to win over the maga idiots.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3w ago

“You might think Democrats would be up in arms over the violence perpetrated by the Trump administration…But a closer look reveals that that social media energy has not translated into actual midterm messaging.” Read the latest from Adrian Carrasquillo: lnk.thebulwark.com/4wOQfIj

Congress trying to hold someone in contempt for exercising their [checks notes] constitutional rights is some next level bullshit.

I believe we’re in an anti-incumbent cycle, but I also know far-left ideas won’t win in every corner of this country. Folks need to chill with the arrogance. We need a coalition, not a purity test.

Former challenger Mallory McMorrow: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”

Let's be honest. The best thing a republican voter could do to help the country, right now, is stay home in November. Do it for your country, republicans! Stay home on November 3rd. It's what Jesus wants.

Joshua B. Hoe@joshuabhoe.bsky.social · 3w ago

One thing people should notice, Dems are turning out in almost 2X the numbers of GOP in Michigan so far for this

The full quote from Cornyn, probably: "Try as we might, supporting everything that was ordered of us, as we voted for everything he wanted, backed down on every challenge, as we kept our mouths shut on every corruption, crime, everything. There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Angry Byrd@tylerbigbyrd.bsky.social · 3w ago

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president" Think about that America... A sitting US Senator acting like he cannot do a fkng thing about Trump, while he continues to vote to do nothing about Trump.

NEWS: Todd Blanche says he is rescinding his May 18 order establishing the “anti-weaponization fund”

Of course he'd be willing to look at it. Then he'd find a way to claim he was a victim to collect from it. Everything is a grift.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w ago

WELKER: Trump now says he wants Congress to pass a bill making the anti-weaponization fund the law of the land. Would you support that? KENNEDY: I'd have to read it first WELKER: You'd be open to that? KENNEDY: I'd be willing to look at it
