Says the former leader of the Senate Intelligence Committee ⬇️

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

Sean Hannity, and many others, are posting this video claiming it is the explosion at Fordow after the US military bombed it. Its not. This is from Syria in December 2024.

Gen. Barry McCaffrey: “We are at war with Iran right now.”

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Watch this on loop.

NEW: Scientists rush to stop mirror microbes that could threaten life on earth Paris event urges international action against synthetic organisms that could disrupt critical ecosystems We can do something about it! With great illustrations by ‪@ian-bott.bsky.social‬ www.ft.com/content/3f94...

I would have imagined that North Korea increasing its infrastructure to produce highly enriched uranium by more than one-third would be bigger news. I guess DPRK arsenal expansion is just priced in now?

Sen. Coons: "Would you agree, Mr. Secretary, that the United States should use every tool it has at its disposal...to pressure Russian to come to the table?" Hegseth: "Every tool at our disposal? No."

Graham: "Is Putin gonna stop [with Ukraine]?" Hegseth: "Remains to be seen." Graham: “Well, he says he’s not. It’s like the 30s all over again."

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

she’s like 15 feet away. absolutely that man’s whole thought process was: “I’m gonna shoot that woman”

"You just f---ing shot the reporter!"

Watch this ICE officer casually raise their rubber-bullet gun to shoot an unassuming Australian journalist in the back from behind as she does a standup at the LA protests. Now consider again who the “lawbreaking terrorists” are in this situation. bsky.app/profile/dell...

Watch as this LAPD cop takes deliberate aim at an Australian reporter, then shoots her at close range. I would fire the police chief over this. Inexcusable thuggery.

Jeff Bezos once mourned Jamal Khashoggi in public—now the Amazon billionaire is making billion-dollar deals with his executioner, which reveals more about his values than any vigil ever could. More in Status: www.status.news/p/jeff-bezos...

If I was being a snarky bitch, I might say something about the BBC spending money on dead computer generated writers whilst sacking actual living and breathing ones. But I’m not, so I won’t.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

So many layers of corruption.

Gradually but inexorably, the WSJ editorial page is coming to terms with the fact that leader of their preferred political party is, ah, well, a bit of a grifter. Free link www.wsj.com/opinion/air-...

Jesus fucking Christ the whole agenda of this government is to ruin the bulk of the worlds life.

Some interesting details here about Stephen Miller’s influence at DOJ but a better story would be about how Bondi’s TV appearances appear to violate DOJ policies and professional ethical rules, which could make certain cases more difficult to try. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...

New from me: chatbots for schoolchildren dispensed dangerous information — including instructions for how to synthesize fentanyl and a date rape drug — in tests conducted by Forbes. www.forbes.com/sites/emilyb...

Televangelist Jim Bakker didn't respond as we investigated allegations that a pastor on his staff is a serial rapist. But in a broadcast last week, he called on Christians to forgive pastors who commit sex abuse, asking at one point, "How come there's such profit in being a tattletale?" Watch:

wait, what??

Seeing a trend here. Rules don’t apply to him. Sure, it’s minor plagiarism. But the attack details shared on Signal were also “minor”……and we are all watching.

1. Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old Turkish doctoral student at Tufts, speaks after a federal judge ordered her release following her arrest by federal agents on the street. She calls the United States “the greatest democracy in the world” and says she has “faith in the American justice system.”

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social on Stephen Miller saying they want to end habeas corpus: “This is a threat to every American… a deep, scary, fundamental threat. And it must be rejected.” 🇺🇸 (H/T @thebulwark.com )

Howard Lutnick on UK Deal: “They opened their market for the first time in 30 years for 5 billion in exports, while paying us 6 billion a year in tariffs” Fact check: The UK won’t pay a penny. American companies importing goods from the UK will pay the tariffs, and pass the cost on to consumers.

This is outstanding on the vapid scientifically illiterate dreams of the tech overlord class arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

Got round to reading Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans/unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as third world. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

One notable arrest over the weekend left two children unattended after a man was taken from a gas station by what appeared to be a group of ICE agents. via @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

AND WHAT DID YOU GIVE HIM FOR BREAKFAST?

THIS IS NOT NORMAL Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra captured video of a 16-year-old girl's face being held on the ground by Worcester police officers; she and her mother were detained in an apparent ICE operation #immigration
