“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

"Loose lips sink ships." Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth, has screwed up again by inappropriately using the Signal app. One thing is absolutely true: If Hegseth had been approved by a Democratic majority, he'd be out on his ear already.

LFG!! Fuck the Oligarchy!

“You can’t find a more exciting historical story.” 250 years after Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride, we followed the 16-mile route and spoke to people who felt a sense of wonder about that April night. nyti.ms/4cPQeun

Well-deserved recognition for one of the single-most talented people on the entire Internet. You all know MeidasTouch senior editor @acyn.bsky.social’s clips. Now learn more about the man behind the posts.

St. Louis shows up no matter the weather #fiftyfiftyone #handsoff #marchforscience

Thirty years to the day after a truck bomb leveled a federal building, former president Bill Clinton said the country desperately needs to heed the lessons of how this city recovered, rising above anger and polarization to become a better place to live.

A #squirrel gets gently brushed and clearly enjoys it. When the scratching stops, it taps for more. This reaction is common in #mammals, as grooming and gentle touch can trigger calming responses and even release endorphins.

Who could’ve foreseen that it would be a disaster to put an unqualified Fox weekend host with a drinking problem and sordid personal history in charge of the military

My painting GREAT PLAINS STORM

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Only one of these men has a criminal conviction—and his name isn’t Kilmar Garcia!

Like before the proposed removal of Roe vs Wade and Project 2025......

History always has a lesson.

Bill Maher: please leave your cutting comments to yourself concerning Governor Whitmer's recent visit to the oval office. She was there for one thing only: To do business on behalf of the State of Michigan, no more, no less. She, unlike YOUR recent visit, wasn't there to buddy up to Trump.

1) Bill Maher defines himself as a centrist liberal. On the 4/11/25 episode of his HBO show, he talked about his recent visit to the White House. He described Trump as having a sense of humor & open to criticism from him. This Trump, Maher said, was not the man we see daily on TV and social media.

Never have we celebrated a sitting president on his birthday in any way, let alone via a MILITARY PARADE. The cost estimate is $90 million. DOGE has cut thousands of fed jobs/services, & has threatened the same for SS, Medicare and Medicaid, so to order such a parade is offensive, stupid & cruel.

Nothing like having an old, demented, whiny liar as our so-called "leader".

The boycott is strong. Canadians will not break. We thank our allies and friends from across the world who are supporting our fight. Boycott the felon administration. Spend your travel dollars elsewhere. Don't spend a dime in the USA. Here is my latest interview. ottawa.citynews.ca/video/2025/0...

How can an American State of the Union speech be taken seriously when nothing spoken is true?

"Drill baby, drill" equals kill baby, kill. That is, killing access to our most cherished parks and national preserves. In addition, Trump will soon go after our public lands to seek out the "rare minerals" he is currently focused on (he also wants to shake down Ukraine for the same).

For yelling at President Zelensky and puffing up his chest like the big BOY HE THINKS he is, Trump has shamed our country & brought a level of degradation we have never seen before. Vance was right by his side, doubling down the lies, cruelty & bullshit. ALL Americans should be appalled.

To my fellow Michiganders of Middle Eastern descent that voted for Trump: How do you feel about your choice now that Dear Leader wants the Palestinian people to move to Jordan or Egypt? He's made no mention of what assistance if any the Palestinians would receive to be forced from their land.

Trump spent most of his speech to the nation this morning, about the D.C. plane crash last night over the Potomac, trashing the Biden & Obama admins, Pete Buttigieg and his mgmt of the Dept of Trans., plus other egregious lies he spewed to make himself look like a savior and an omniscient leader.

Today we launched a website to track how much orange assface plays golf. We’re guessing this thing is gonna get a workout! Bookmark it. Enjoy! More: TrumpGolfTrack.com

Trump now wants to pass a law that allows presidents, including those with non-consecutive terms such as himself, to be able to run for a third term. Well, folks, the Dictator-in-Chief is getting his ducks in a row to ensure he never has to leave office, unless it's feet first, I suppose.

I’m not at all surprised. 💙

Love to see it

If only newscasters had started this practice in 1974...

it’s been three days and people can’t even FIND eggs

This is absolutely chilling. He truly is a sociopath.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
