Trump pardoned J6er Hatchet Speed who confessed to an FBI agent that he was working on a plan to kill the Jews of America.

Yes.

This is like hiring Andrew Tate for an important national study into whether women talk too much

"Yes, there’s danger in opening our gates to this statue. But there’s also danger in keeping it out… the danger of eroding the sanctity of the gift-giving process."

The Kremlin and other autocracies have long ached to see Voice of America and Radio Liberty destroyed, but even in their most fevered dreams, they could never have imagined that the Americans would do the dirty work themselves. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Gov. Walz, "There’s nothing conservative about an unelected South African nepo baby firing people at the VA."

Not sure when the penny is going to drop that this dude means what he tweets, does and sig heils www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/t...

Repeat after me - this is the stupidest possible way to run the world’s biggest economy.

This man is a moron.

“Even a first-year law student knows that the federal government cannot dictate the viewpoint and curriculum of a private Christian school, yet here was a federal prosecutor opening an inquiry into a Jesuit school’s protected speech.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/o...

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. *This* is how democracy dies.

🇵🇱🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: I spoke with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. We discussed the conditions needed for a lasting and real peace in Ukraine and agreed that no negotiations with Putin can begin without a united position from Ukraine, Europe, and the U.S.

A Washington Post fact check of the administration’s examples of “WASTE and ABUSE” at USAID found that 11 out of 12 claims about the agency’s work are misleading, wrong or lack context. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

MAGA morality: Put thousands of federal employees on leave, cut aid that sustains countless lives, demonize your opponents, and then enjoy the suffering of your enemies. But then - when one DOGE worker is fired for vicious racism -say, "Where's the grace and mercy in this country?"

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

Hey journalists, if you have not already done so, now is the time to file a FOIA request for Mar-a-Lago report so that it can’t be destroyed by new DOJ leaders when they take over. If (when?) dismissal or pardons of co-Ds occur, there will be no legal basis for refusing to comply.

Quite the endorsement. The Trump national security bow wave now hitting foreign shores.

"We know people are having fewer children today than four thousand years ago. Why do you think that is? These days, there’s no incentive to have eight kids and pray that at least one of them survives. I’m here to bring back those incentives."

A federal judge suggested Thursday that former president Donald Trump’s attorneys were trying to stall any action in his 2020 election subversion case until after the election, in a testy, hour-long hearing to help determine how the matter should proceed.

Trump didn't have any event during Labor Day. He has nothing publicly scheduled until a Sat rally in WI. A 78 yr old incoherent, senile, convicted felon missing from campaign trail as camping season is in full swing. Where is the media scrutiny (the one they applied to Biden)?
