Yes, NYC is famously stinky (especially after the first rain in a while) but it doesn’t come close to the stench of a turkey or hog confinement. You can’t drive around the rural heartland without regularly getting hit with a smell that would make most New Yorkers gag.

Trump: "You see it in the blue states run by Democrats -- everything is filthy dirty all the time. The cities stink The sidewalks are loaded w/horrible stuff. I don't want to use the term bc my wife hates it. She hates it when I imitate no men in women's sports, when I do the weightlifter."

Christians should be banned from playing sports. Jesus provides them with additional strength, which gives them unfair advantage.

Replies and quote-posts were a mistake. Too many here believe posting a scolding reply to someone engaged in a minor moral transgression is *doing something.* But all it’s doing is making everyone hate each other. Post your scoldy subskeets on your own timeline as God intended!

I was wondering if anyone was keeping a running total on Trump’s waste and abuse. You have to check out this video. And there’s so much, I bet you forgot about some of it: 💰Ballroom: $1 billion project, taxpayers already on the hook for $300 mill 💰 J6 Slush Fund: $1.776 billion for his rioters 🧵

Playboy is far from feminist, but if you’ve ever read it you know instinctively it would never vibe with the incel movement.

What are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...

Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC isn’t going quite as he’d hoped. In response to the suit, the BBC served Trump with extensive discovery over the state of his finances. Then, on Monday, a federal magistrate judge ordered the trust that holds his business empire to start

One more time: While many people insist they need to stay on Twitter to keep informed about the real world, staying on Twitter is more likely to misinform you about the real world. Stop marinating your brain in the right-wing fever swamp. It's actively making you dumber.

Worst part of the new @status.news report is that the Bari Weiss team appears to get its view of what is actually happening in the world from Twitter. They were asking Vega to include things that *weren't real* b/c they didn't know any better. www.status.news/p/cecilia-ve...

This should be a lightbulb moment for Democrats: You are free to run on this platform because Republicans are going to accuse you of it whether you do or not!

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

Legend. Added to personal vocabulary.

If there's one thing Trump has usefully revealed it's that the gatekeepers in the media who supposedly had so much reverence for Support The Troops and Dead Soldiers etc when those things were being deployed to hurt Democrats were just liars and never cared about this even a little.

I would never presume to know how a Gold Star family feels or what they should say. However if I were in one today, I'd be absolutely ripshit with Trump.

17. You could defensibly describe the story of civilization as an unrelenting obsession with creating a comfortable indoors. If you believe this, then you therefore understand why camping is an affront to the spirit of your ancestors. Against god, even.

Reader, I checked and checked again, and this is Secretary Hegseth’s actual account

I have a piece in the NYT today arguing that the law should permit victims of ICE abuse to sue not just individual officers, but supervisors and policymakers like Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino. A Democratic president and Congress could do this in 2029. And they could make it retroactive.
