What the actual?! Give Russia more money so they can provide more to the country fighting against your own people is a real messed up position, regardless of whether the fight against your people should be happening in the first place.
I expect nothing less, however.
Low T evil.
Among the more insidious awful this administration is enacting on the people is the continuing rollback of even basic, seemingly self-evident guidance to keep people safe and not indulge in wackadoo.

This week's comic: The Big Dumb War Cycle
If a US Senator wants the US to go to war against another country, he should introduce a war authorization and push for a vote in the US Congress.
Not subvert the Constitution to achieve that end.

I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.
Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:
1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.
2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.

“.. one thing the US economy doesn’t need right now is a war of choice shutting down a major trade route, blowing up oil markets, and driving up the cost of energy for Americans, just as the labor market seizes up.
And yet, here we are.”

Who tf is there even to offer an unconditional surrender? The government is in pieces.
These schmucks’ brains are so stewed.
Huh. I wonder if they should have thought this whole thing over instead of moving forward on big dumdum’s “instinct.”
Screenshot of ProPublica webpage titled “Explore Financial Disclosures From President Trump and 1,500 of His Appointees,” accompanied by this blurb: “Use this database to explore potential conflicts of interest for President Donald Trump and his team. The documents disclose positions officials have held outside government, their assets and their debts, among other things.” A search bar prompts the user to search for a person or financial holding.
THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees.

That's wild. I guess don't use @proton.me anymore
The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
Vote anybody who didn’t support this out. The Congress cannot be accountability free. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...
A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best
Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best
Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!
I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it
This government needs to discuss Cuba policy urgently because it could blow up very badly for everybody if Trump and Rubio successfully choke off all the Venezuelan oil. Rubio could be the dog that finally caught the car -- and he has no plan for what to do the day after. 1/
You know you are on the losing side when this is your response.
Soundtracked by a Drake song should be a good first sign that something isn’t right.
What are stockpiles for, after all?
Maybe Elon and Larry could chip in. Jeff too.
The trailer wasn’t funny, was mostly just cringe. It looks like a lazy, bigoted rehash of outdated stereotypes.
Put differently: he’s raking in money from the rich people and companies who would most benefit from his decisions. Moral corruption if not outright corruption.
I don't understand why "we're safe because they can't post ICE at very many polling places" has been a line of reasoning. These people are basically the Joker, except smarter and in a world not designed as a morality play.
…a government that remains - if not increasingly so - repressive of its populace. VZ was a success only insofar as the US now gets to abscond with another country’s resources.
Watching government work the way it's supposed to -- providing services that makes peoples' lives easier & gives them space to dream -- is genuinely moving. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/n...
So happy they thought this whole thing through.
“The U.S. Embassy is not in a position at this time to evacuate or directly assist Americans in departing Israel.”
I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.
