Markwayne Mullin Reportedly Fingered Nostrils of Colleagues and Their Spouses During Visit to Israel A former House Republican claims that in 2015, Markwayne Mullin – then a congressman – took photos of himself putting his finger up the noses of...

I am demanding that the Democrats invite Mullin’s accusers to testify about this weirdo behavior in painstaking detail.

I want charts. Expert witnesses. Reenactments.

Fun fact: To keep production costs low, many Star Trek scenes were actually filmed on Earth rather than on location in outer space.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

March 5, 2026 President Donald J.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled
Noem has been publicly shamed and fired, and I too can’t wait to see her at β€œNuremberg 2.0,” but let’s be real:.They’re throwing a woman under the bus. The incompetent white men are skating right now and getting away with murder (and starting wars willy nilly).

A small group of Democratic lawmakers have just proposed legislation to bar members of Congress from profiting off prediction markets, citing elected officials' possession of "material nonpublic information."

So Tesla is artificially inflating production numbers to mask falling sales numbers in order to maintain their stock price and Musk's net worth.

It looks like Tesla is once again using parking garages to stash inventory. There are some 100,000 inventory cars worldwide. 99,998 after today.

Nothing will ever top that original picture but I need people to understand that this is probably one of the most unreal guys alive. A totally impossible guy. Like by all rights he should not exist but at the same time he could of course only exist in the dimension we’re all trapped in.

Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida

After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.

Slurs spoke themselves unto the mouths of young GOP members again! I just hope that they're all OK!🀑

Slurs emitted themselves fully formed, from the fingertips of innocent far-right people! That must have been terrifying for them! 🀑

Pray for those that survived spontaneous chat room devolution! 🀑

It’s so cool how we’re in a large-scale military conflict and the President is spending his time building a ballroom.

This rocks. I finally know what being a Roman must have felt like.

It's not like there was an erstwhile ally fighting these drones for years that could have proven valuable collaborators on how to defend against them.
