Look up the term “stochastic terrorism.” The guilty party here is # POTUS and his #MAGA sycophants.

Five people, including two suspects, killed in shooting at San Diego’s largest mosque

It should be a huge scandal that a close confidante of, and adviser to, President Trump and Secretary Rubio reacted to a deadly terrorist attack at a mosque by calling the mosque "evil" and calling for the deportation of all Muslims from America. But it isn't. *sighs*

I wrote with @volkantopalli.bsky.social, Zarina Vakhitova, Harry Liu, Mike Levi, @awinterplace.bsky.social & Alex Baxter about how ransomware has changed over time, and the underlying processes. People forget how ransomware started out, but it's certainly big business now. doi.org/10.1177/0011...

I know it’s a small thing but is it just me or do others hate Trump’s guts for sowing all this chaos when we should all be excited about what the Artemis II astronauts are accomplishing right now? 🍊🖕

The White House stepped in Friday to stop late-night television host Bill Maher from receiving a prestigious humor award at the Kennedy Center shortly after news of the honor was reported, according to The Atlantic.

Widen your gaze and look upon Lebanon. Nearly a million people have been displaced by Israel in the past 3 weeks. They've been told not to return. That's ethnic cleansing. The last time Israel occupied Southern Lebanon, Hezbollah was born. What horrors will be unleashed now?

Here's Sen Richard Blumenthal on my SiriusXM show earlier this week warning that Trump is on the path to putting US troops on the ground in Iran. Yet corporate media fails to cover that this is where Trump/Netanyahu's war is heading! youtu.be/5Vgh9RTpp-c?...

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger made Trump's handling of the economy and aggressive immigration enforcement the center of her SOTU rebuttal. She asked Americans if they feel Trump is “working to make life more affordable.”

Spanberger delivers a Democratic rebuttal centered on cost of living

The newly-elected Virginia governor asked Americans if they feel Trump is “working to make life more affordable."

During her rebuttal speech, Virginia Gov. Spanberger (D) told stories of children impacted by President Trump’s hard-line immigration strategy and discussed the Americans killed by ICE — an issue that polling shows is driving some away from the president. https://wapo.st/3ZQywBr

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe destroys Kash Patel's LIES of why he was in Italy: “The excuse that he had to go for security meetings the day before the games are over is patently ridiculous." He added that is done months before, "not the day of the final hockey game.” Arrest Kash!

Kash Patel is now living the rock star lifestyle he has always dreamed up flying in a private jet to play golf in Scotland with his buddies, taking the jet on dates with his girlfriend and heading to Italy to party with the US Olympic team. The problem is we are the ones paying for this BS!

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Peter Mandelson getting arrested for passing secrets to Jeffrey Epstein should make Donald Trump and Israel nervous.

It’s not leadership anymore it’s a circus, and everyone’s fighting for center ring.

This just amazes me. This year, 2026, marks the 50th anniversary of The Man Called Nova. FIFTY YEARS!!! How is that possible?

Trump outraged that a US Olympic athlete subtly criticized his ICE forces. Trump wants us to be silent as he sends masked troops to oppress and kill Americans. Being silent now is complicity in Trump's crimes against humanity. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
