"Two... defense officials... were briefed that perhaps only a tactical nuclear weapon could be capable of destroying Fordow because of how deeply it is buried. "Trump is not considering using a tactical nuclear weapon on Fordow."

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

They've got to stop taking no for an answer.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Remember when everyone pretended like Trump got shot in the ear

Ask your doctor what treatment the supreme court decided is right for you.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

Given the chance, Trump would have "solved" the Civil War with a Confederate victory.

It took 21 months but, this morning I received the results of the Alberta government's pension plan engagement survey: *63% opposed to Alberta Pension Plan (APP) *10% pro-APP *12% undecided/unsure *15% other responses edmontonjournal.com/news/politic... #ableg #abpoli

Don’s right. Trumpism not just permits, but demands, overt hostility to a wide array of American values, institutions, culture, and people. Trumpism hates much more of America than it loves.

Well I’m sure Trump will be counselled away from the brink of a generation-long war and back to moderation and reason by his Chief of Staff, a general whose official Department of Defense site lists his name as Razin Caine

Many liberals and progressives understand the Supreme Court to be a bastion of rights and a bulwark against the excesses of an oppressive majority. But, for most of its history outside the Warren Court, the Supreme Court has been a bastion of oligarchy and white supremacy. This is its normal.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

Trump EO: "Anyone who protests or criticizes me will hereby be shot in the face." Schumer statement: "Extrajudicial executions are just a distraction. What the Republicans aren't telling you is that those who survive the face-shootings will no longer be covered by Medicaid or Medicare."

Deploying military troops domestically is, in no way, part of "national security policy."

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

It's incredibly delicate to post about Israel to US / CA / EU audiences, the indoctrination to be loyal and overlook its decades of criminal actions runs deep amongst the public. All we can say is, do your best to deprogram from "I stand with Israel" and move toward "I stand with international law."

I'm far from a libertarian but it seems undeniable that three areas should not be subject to laws or regulations of any sort, but rather considered medical matters to be left to informed professionals: - Narcotic drugs - Birth control incl. abortion - Anything involving a person's sex or gender

Not sure how Carney is doing it. of course, it may or may not mean anything policy-wise. The key, as always, is it is ok to try to placate Trump as long as it does not cause you to do any policies that you would otherwise not do. Just don't expect any good feelings to last.

It appears that the national news media learned nothing two decades ago when they were duped by the U.S. government to justify a trumped-up Middle East war that killed more than 100,000 human beings.

Reagan-era judge *finally* calls out the wildly obvious racism in the DOGE cuts to the NIH

BREAKING: Kristi Noem hospitalized after she has an allergic reaction to encountering a live animal

For the younger people out there, "mongoloid" is the slur which used to be used for individuals living with Down Syndrome. By the 1970s, this wildly offensive term was being phased out of our culture. And yet, here we are.

Pretty sure the Antichrist is already here

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!

"It is believed that Secretary Noem may have been inadvertently exposed to trace amounts of integrity."

They arrest Democrats. They murder Democrats. They laugh at their deadly violence against Democrats. When is enough enough?

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Sunday: "The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... Today: "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran ... Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... He's not a hawk. He's not a dove. He's just a moron.
