BREAKING: Susan Collins clutches her pearls with deep concern.
Erling Haaland has reached out to the family of a six-year-old fan who passed away in a traffic accident, sending the family his signed jersey along with a handwritten letter expressing his condolences 🙏 📸: IG/2omasts
You know the world has become a very strange place when my wife demands to watch game 3 of the NBA finals just so she can hear Trump get booed.
A reminder that there is goodness and love in the world. As I've always said, if there aren't dogs in heaven then I'm not going. (I know that heaven isn't real but hopefully you get the idea.)
There is no better welcome than your dog’s loving welcome 💞💞💞
It still amazes me that a significant portion of the American people still think Trump is a great man who will protect their interests even though he keeps fucking them over. Reminds me of the sheriff in Blazing Saddles - Boy, am I smart! Boy, are they STUPID!!!

As Helena Rosenblatt writes: Liberality is “demonstrating the virtues of a citizen, showing devotion to the common good and respecting the importance of mutual connectedness.” I long for this.
Hegseth's reversal of the helicopter pilots' suspension for the Kid Rock flyover in ruinous for good order & discipline. Now servicemen know they can ignore superior officers' orders so long as their actions align with MAGA. Need any more evidence that this douchebag is unfit for the position?
The next time my wife complains about something I've done I'm going to blame my previous wife, from whom I was divorced 24 years ago. I'm going to call it the "blame Biden" defense.
Trump says he couldn't arrange for evacuation of American civilians from the Middle East because "everything happened so fast." But yesterday (3/4) Hegseth said that before hostilities started DOD was taking defensive measures which included moving some personnel out of Iran's attacking reach. Huh?
You have to be freaking kidding me. The orange douchebag has endorsed his primary opponent!! JFC, grow a fucking spine and stop groveling!!! And I apologize to douchebags who have actually served a worthy purpose.
I found the dumbest most pathetic post on the internet today:
MELANIA is so bad, that if it was an in-flight movie, people would still walk out.
“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

WASHINGTON—In an address touting the practice as a completely drug-free method to relieve the common affliction, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demonstrated Thursday how ...

Why would anyone be surprised that Trump is telling everyone to disregard what they are seeing about Alex Pretti’s murder? That’s what he did about January 6 and he got elected president. AS LONG AS AMERICANS LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT HE’LL KEEP DOING IT!!!!
There has been some minimal pushback from gun rights groups (NRA, Gun Owner's of America). Of course, NRA blames "leftist" protesters-I guess they were only worried about "jack-booted government thugs" if a Democrat is in office. If you ever needed evidence that NRA is short for fascist here it is.
This is yet another example of the atrocities these ICEholes are committing.
Noem: This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.
Watching this video if you haven't seen it already. It is disgusting. Those fuckers murdered him.
Thank you to everyone who worked hard to preserve this video. It shows ICE murdered Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse. Watch, save, and share. 💔
What the DOJ is saying about the delay in the Epstein files release is bullshit. Any lawyer who has ever done discovery knows there is software than can review millions of pages of documents very quickly to determine what needs to be redacted. They are lying f’ing liars.
I hope there is a remake of 2001 A Space Odyssey and Samuel L Jackson is Dr David Bowman. Then I’d get to hear him say; “ Open the pod bay doors motherfucker!”
Let's say for the sake of arguments that the videos of the Minneapolis ICE killing are ambiguous as to whether the car was headed for the ICE officer (they aren't, but bear with me). The claims by ICE Barbie et al that a riot was taking place are a complete deliberate lie. Par for the course.

What the Venezuelan expatriots cheering Trump's removal of Maduro is that Trump IS Maduro. Their country isn't in any better shape than it was - probably it will be worse since Trump considers it a shithole country. His only interest is oil.
For someone who was going to keep the US out of foreign conflicts Trump sure does fire a lot of missiles at other people.
It never ceases to amaze me how so many "Christians" continue to support such a morally bankrupt piece of shit and how they will remain quiet in the face of such demonstrably unChristian utterances as those relating to the murder of the Reiners.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
I'm a child rape survivor, and I was NOT the "barely legal type." I was a child. I still wore hairbows! I wore a retainer on my teeth. My column today is an open letter to Megyn Kelly. christabrown.substack.com/p/dear-megyn...
Dear Megyn Kelly: I Was Not the "Barely Legal Type"

No other country provides healthcare for its population through a private insurance system. Not one. The reason is simple: it is wildly inefficient, fails to meet the population's needs, and is completely illogical. This system needs to be dunked. Medicare for all!!!
Dick Durbin should have retired six years ago. He lost his nerve.
I'm in my late 60's and couldn't agree more. Schumer needs to step aside. If he won't do it on his own then the Senate Democratics need to grow a spine and throw him out. His time has passed.
We need young, energetic, brilliant people. The old men just aren’t “up” for it, and they never will be. Don’t allow them to make it over for us/for future generations. Fight, for honest-to-God change. I’m old and I am so ready for the young. I believe in them. Out with the old. In with the new.
