Oooh! Today’s Wordle word was about Dear Leader‘s dinner.

For every doll you deny me I will push another jet off an aircraft carrier

Hey, y’all?! Remember “freedom fries”?! European treats formerly known as “Americans” are being renamed from Finland to Bavaria…

Donald Trump is not well. Not physically. Not mentally. And it’s time for the media to start talking about it.

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

If it’s true that their only “evidence” against this judge is that she advised someone to leave out a side door, this is complete banana republic bullshit and should be unequivocally condemned by both parties.

I don’t understand this. This isn’t making anyone safer. Why the cruelty? abcnews.go.com/US/mahmoud-k...

Let's call this what it is: A concentration camp.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

Hard not to be a "PANICAN" when led by someone suffering from severe mental illness

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

Narrator: "It did not make them rich."

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

CIA Dir. Ratcliffe: My communications to be clear in a signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information. Sen. Warner: If it's not classified, share the texts with the committee

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Monsters on SO many levels . . .

People are calling it WhiskeyLeaks. I really hope that sticks. That is hilarious. 😆 #WhiskeyLeaks

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

OMG! 🤣

Stephen Miller is on TV all day every day trying to explain how district court judges have no authority over POTUS. Stephen Miller also spent the last four years suing Biden in district court. I’m starting to think Stephen Miller isn’t arguing in good faith here. 🙄

Governor Walz is back on the scene and he’s not pulling any punches. ✊🏼 Good to see you Coach!!

😣

Elon Musk is backing down from his challenge to Jon Stewart, which actually makes sense because he stands as much chance of beating Stewart in a debate as I do of beating LeBron James in a game of one-on-one.

This is fine.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Now that English is the official language of the United States, I look forward to everyone understanding the difference between “your” and “you’re,” “their” and “they’re,” and “to,” “two” and “too.”
