Jake Tapper is not reading the room.

As a former soldier, I have been telling young people for 10 years to avoid the military. There is a good chance that joining will put you in a position to either have to commit a heinous, unlawful act or spend your life in prison for refusing to do so. Don't risk it.

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

Excuse me? What kind of farmhouse truck shirts now?

Not the best environment to have jobless claims at an 8-month high — and Challenger layoffs running 80% above last year.

9YO: Oh, God. ME: What? 9YO: I have the sudden urge to make an army of #pride cats. ME: OK. Cute. 9YO: Oh! I just had an idea for a great term for a lesbian marrying another woman — “Pride Bride.” ME: 😁 9YO: 🤷‍♀️ ME: What else is on your mind? 9YO: The lyrics to “Fireflies” by Owl City. ME:

Why did no one fucking tell me this was an option????

We are allowing a bunch of tech bros access to our private data. The same tech bros who believe democracy should be eliminated. Perhaps our press should treat this as a five alarm fire… Instead of calling Biden the biggest scandal since Watergate. Just a thought.

So to be clear: Fox News is touting how much less in taxes the wealthy will pay without mentioning the gutted services OR that the bill INCREASES the debt by $2.4 trillion. Fox News plays on Musk’s popularity with fascists to suggest the bill needs passed despite Musk’s public opposition to it.

In my industry we’ve already had some products rise in price by 25 percent or more.

In case you haven’t read the report, here are the headings of the report’s conclusions into Andrew Cuomo’s behavior.

“Just five of the Senate committee's 23 members attended the hearing.”

this country is supposed to host a world cup next year

The law in this country shouldn't need to wear a mask.

Perfect.

Where’s Star-Lord when you need him?

Lee: Would say it would be “illegal DEI” for a lesson plan on the Tulsa race massacre? McMahon: I’d have to get back to you Lee: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? McMahon: I’d like to look into it more and get back to you on it.

Oh

Not dystopian by any measure.

“You see, Billy, your mom died because she couldn’t go to work during chemo and Republicans cut off her Medicaid before her cancer was cured. But Peter Thiel has a shiny new tax-free contract to mine your personal data, so that’s good.”

As others are noting, if you don’t ask people whether they’re unemployed, theoretically maybe nobody is unemployed.

And there’s no chance a Trump admin will be honest with data.

you could wrap around the entire earth with every person who was going to lose health insurance under the republican plan

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I've decided to turn any hate towards this into a positive. Every time I get flipped off or thumbs down for this flag I'm gonna make a 3$ donation to www.thetrevorproject.org at the end of the month. #Pride #QueerTrucker #TheTrevorProject #LGBTQ

This is simply horrifying.

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

Another gaffe that should result in resignation or firing. RFK, Jr., (and any number of his minions) for this. Hegseth, Vance, Gabbard, Rubio and others for the insecure channel war plans chat that looped-in a journalist. Yet they’re all still employed.

Howwwwwww do you do story on Trump’s “Gold Card” and just mention as the kicker that it’s Congress that establishes visa and tax law? wtf?

Very North Korean. www.newsweek.com/trump-admini...

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

"Repeat this mantra as your prescription is denied on religious grounds: Everyone dies. Everyone dies. Everyone dies. Let the liberals weep, for you are free and clear, though not in the medical sense, of course."

Only a true “business genius” like Donald Trump would slash budgets at the profitable agencies to give tax cuts to billionaires who don’t really need national parks because they own private islands.

Carry yourself with the confidence of the head of FEMA who didn’t know the US had a hurricane season

Had a fender-bender on the way in for my 39th straight day of work. Someone unplug me and plug me in again. I need a reset.

man what the fuck
