An American President is going to turn a foreign luxury plane from Qatar into Air Force One. And then he’s going to keep the $400 million gift after he leaves office. It’s a disgrace to our country and a potential national security risk. Our Oversight Committee must investigate.

Duffy, your guy was in charge during Covid.

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus. But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.

Art of the Deal

So many layers of corruption.

BREAKING: The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

Seeing some of those videos of ICE guys in full soldier of fortune getups with rifles and balaclavas being filmed by 40 year old women in Yoga pants telling them to go fuck themselves and get the fuck out of their city really shows once again that libmoms are America’s most fearless defenders

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff. - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Guess which is going wind up killing more Americans.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

If Joe Biden had accepted a $400 million dollar ANYTHING from the funders of Hamas, Republicans would have lost their goddamn fucking minds.

Opinion Trump Is Robbing Public Health to Pay for His Deportation Conveyer Belt For $40 billion-worth of health cuts to come as our government wants to spend $45 billion to become Amazon-efficient at shipping human beings to foreign prisons is establishing this nation as a beacon of cruelty.

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

CARTOON OF THE DAY #AmericanPope

Civil disobedience by an elected official defending his constituents is something we should applaud. This is bringing the fight… www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2025/05/09/n...

On this date in 2012, Maurice Sendak boarded his boat and sailed in and out of weeks and through a day into the next life. A masterful author of children's literature and relentless humanist, his last words declared that dinner would be waiting for him, and it was still hot. Or we like to think so.

happy bday Scottish writer J.M. Barrie, b.1860. “The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.” “When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.”

He needs to be in jail.

This is absolutely insane. Where the hell is our Congress?

😕

MAJOR BREAKING: Congresswoman Sara Jacobs has introduced a bill called the DELETE DOGE Act that would completely defund and stop Elon Musk’s operation. This needs to pass.

The disrespect for Congress and the law is glaring - and for our nation a threat to our public safety.

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

During Russia’s "Victory Day" parade, a banner appeared on the wall of the museum in Narva, Estonia—facing directly toward Russia and a stage across the border which was broadcasting the parade in Moscow.

When Laura Loomer calls the new Pope a “woke Marxist,” you know he must be doing something right.

Trump just fired the first Black person to serve as the Librarian of Congress. She has been in that position since 2016 and is the first professional librarian to hold the position since 1974.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

Federal scientists will stop updating the NOAA list of billion-dollar weather disasters. The list, which had grown rapidly in recent years, reflected both worsening extreme weather and expanding development nationwide.
