These people sound like rustics cursing an advancing society.

Absolutely not.

Congress needs to do its job and assert control over this madman president. He's taken us into an illegal, generational disaster. Stop him before it is too late to stop it from spiraling further.

Putin sought the pre-WWI Great Power international system. I did not expect it to deliver 1914 vibes so fast.

This is what FDR actually sounded like.

Every generation of Republican thinks they control the hose of propaganda and it works as they expect for a while then the next wave of Republican lunatics come along and suddenly they don't control it any longer and out they go.

I think Hegseth should be worried.

I once got pulled over in high school while driving my '94 Camaro I bought off my dad and the cop claimed my ID was fake because it matched the car registration. He only begged off because his partner didn't go along with his assessment.

It's also got a giant heap of straight up embarrassing. I can only imagine how much Mussolini's domestic critics thought he was such an embarrassing buffoon, too.

Submitted the last batch of signatures to try to get on the June 2 ballot. We need 15 out of the 37 submitted. We’ll know soon enough.

Thank you to everyone who reached out to line up parents, neighbors, and friends in #CA14 to sign.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."
Here's a Miami Herald gift link.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Trump’s affinity for Putin always was a threat to the national security of the United States. (He revealed Israeli-obtained classified information to them in the Oval Office.)

Trump should understand that treason is the aide and comfort of our enemies.

America has a long history of pointless and wasteful military adventurism. And in our quest to normalize Trump we’ve stuck his Iran war in that box: “another war, just like the rest.” It’s not like the rest. It’s an act of insanity, rogue state behavior. Don’t know how this ends until we admit it.

Okay but "defensefighters" seems like a stretch.

I was a history nerd growing up so I was the kid explaining this stuff to other kids after 9/11. Yeah, I was super cool 😂

Does that include the drone and ballistic missile strikes on Arab host nations that are denied defensive support in favor of defending Israel?

Yes, I meant when Israel was first created.
