love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
Trump to hold a press conference after markets close on Monday reut.rs/4bxVsMd
Breaking:
The Trump admin just subpoenaed records related to the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona — the latest in a series of steps taken by Trump and his Justice Department to relitigate an election he lost and bolster the federal government's authority over elections.
Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
The Golden Age rolls on.
DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: “ICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...
The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?
I bet Brian caught a rerun of CONVOY on cable last night.
We are a very stupid country

Fox should send Kilmeade as a special correspondent to report live from the ship. bsky.app/profile/atru...
in a healthy society with corporate boards tasked with managing long term success, every ceo that chose to publicly support republicans with company money would be fired on the spot for the willful destruction of the company theyre supposed to be protecting
This analysis seems *modestly* more pessimistic than current reports suggest (e.g., Iran hasn't disabled all five THAADs) but the asymmetry is real. Iran can likely keep SoH closed with cheap drones for months, no matter what we do, and nothing could re-open it other than a collapse of the IRGC.
Again, this is the Joe Barstool approach to governing that I think reads as refreshing to a lot of low-info voters: They think this stuff is easy, and therefore expertise is unneccessary (you can always ask Grok, right?). Previous leaders were just too weak or dumb to do the simple obvious thing.

At least some Americans are benefiting from Trump’s Iran War.
Fox showed footage of Biden looking at his watch 10 million times for months, but airs old footage of Trump rather than show him wearing a campaign hat he’s currently selling for $55 at the dignified transfer.
Now confirmed: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rama Duwaji were inside Gracie Mansion when islamophobic thugs led by J6er Jake Lang attempted to carry out a hate crime against him.
End the war now.

This is something you'd see from Russian media
I guess the best thing you can say about Lindsey is that he doesn’t hide what he’s all about from a policy perspective even while he hides what he’s all about from a personal perspective.
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.
Texas GOP Candidate Recreated MLK Assassination, Reviewed Shooter’s Rifle

"He seems to have had no idea that the Gulf would be a target. … He professed that Iran’s attacks on American allies were 'probably the biggest surprise'—despite the fact that just about every country in the region had warned that Iran would surely attack them in retaliation."
The administration plans to use claims that "China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.”
The premise, it almost goes without saying, is a total lie. trib.al/LmNKGxR
Old enough to remember when conservatives would have lost their minds at ANYONE showing up a ceremony for the military dead wearing a baseball cap. Not long ago, people would've caught hands for that disrespect.
To see a President doing it, to protect his precious combover, & getting 0 pushback?
