Maybe I’m too demanding but I’d really like a definitive answer on why the United States started a war in Iran and what we are trying to accomplish.
Amazon/MGM spent $75M to bring the MELANIA doc to theaters--around $28M of that into the First Lady's pocket.
It tapped out at $16.3M, and MGM only keeps about half. So, it made $8M for the distributor. That's not good, folks. That's political brand positioning at its worst.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now
I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.
It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.
To the rest of the world, speaking for the non-evil portion of the US electorate: I'm sorry our federal government sucks shit at the moment
Saw Hoppers tonight. First, go see it, great new Pixar, best since Soul (funniest, most hilarious, since Toy Story 4). Secondly, we got the trailer for the Andy Serkis Animal Farm and it made me want to tear my hair out. I normally don't pass judgment so harshly, but what were they thinking?!
I’m sure if Biden posted late one Sat night that he wanted the governor of Louisiana to rush a hospital ship to Greenland for a serious medical emergency in their populace at a time when we had no hospital ships available and there was no emergency the media would also ignore it.
😡
Need to reinforce: These documents contain unsubstantiated allegations against Trump.
Notable: These documents were posted the day after Pam Bondi was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee.
Unless it's Fetterman
MURICA$$$
Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.
Raskin to Noem: "I'll repeat my question. You proclaimed Good and Pretti to be domestic terrorists without waiting for evidence or an investigation. Why did you do that?" Noem obfuscates, unwilling to answer. #sheshed
Dear @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social ::
Now that you’ve subpoenaed Bondi, keep in mind that it’s kind of pointless to ask her questions. Make your point, force republicans to use their time to let her respond with her nonsense, and interrupt her liberally.
Oh good, so now I have to somehow visualize a Hot Jabba That Fucks just like I had to picture a Hot Palpatine That Fucks six years ago
Trump's boss meets him for a special anal operation
Trump White House clarifies that "Operation Epic Fury" isn't a war, but a "Special Combat Operation," echoing the Kremlin's "Special Military Operation" used to describe the invasion of Ukraine. This language is used by criminals to bypass congressional approval in their weak, corrupt countries.
So when do we start posting the stickers (which I saw far too many of during the last administration) of trump pointing and going "I Did That" at the pumps?
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.
When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...
I don't know why this has done it this morning, but:
The claim from MAGA reps that we have been "at war with Iran for 47 years" when a huge swath of Reagan's administration was convicted at trial or pled guilty to selling arms to Iran THROUGH ISRAEL for six years in the 80s is 🤯.
Sick fucking shit
What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
You know who also was forbidden from using the word "War?" Any officials or media in Russia in February 2022 when the *war* against Ukraine started up.
This has been on Criterion since 2002 and still feels underrated. Painfully relevant drama of government/media oppression; intense performances from Angela Winkler & Dieter Laser (yeah, him, look him up). By Volker Schlondorff and Margarethe von Trotta

Ahem
Maybe it was "peas" all along
Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
