Thank heavens for the San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/art...

Anyone upset about Chat GPT being down is having a very hard time describing how upset they are that Chat GPT is down.

RESULT: Democrats defend a legislative seat in Oklahoma (HD71) by a massive margin, 85% to 15%. This was a district that voted for Harris by 19% in November, so this is a huge shift toward Dems of 51 percentage points.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Holy shit! They killed him. ABC killed Terry Moran for reporting the news wrong.

This happened in Ron DeSantis’ Florida in 2024, yet MAGA claimed it happened in Los Angeles this week

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

Libs: We want you to have health care MAGA: We want you DEAD!

NEWS Judge Breyer WON'T immediately rule on California's bid to block Trump's militarized response to the Los Angeles protests. Instead, he sets a briefing schedule with a hearing slated for Thursday. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Background www.allrisenews.com/p/rob-bonta-...

"Why do you never see Elephants hiding in trees?" "Because they're that good at it."

Where is DOGE these days?

Rep. Aguilar: "U.S. code...cites 3 examples and circumstances for the guard...invasion...rebellion...or the president is unable to execute the laws of the U.S." Hegseth: "I don't know...Sounds like all three to me." Rep. Aguilar: "You think the president is unable to execute the laws of the U.S.?"

I told my wife about the accommodations national guardsmen are getting in LA and she said it’s like the Fyre Festival of troop deployments

Conditions are shifting. Expect icy fronts to spread well beyond Los Angeles by tomorrow. Initial efforts aimed to freeze traffic and attention in LA, but local crews appear to have salted the roads early.

It was never a lie. It was always the truth.

The new Shrek reboot sucks.

Gotta love an 86-year-old woman with the heart of a poster

Well, then, that seems pretty clear cut

Trump doesn’t give a crap about the health and safety of the National Guard. It’s a photo op for a man addicted to power and chaos.

Meiselas: What I find interesting, though, is—he’ll be a keyboard warrior. He’ll say “New-scum this,” “New-scum that.” But when you’re face-to-face with him, when the cameras are on and you’re there together, he becomes a different person. Newsom: Weakness masquerading as strength.

Two years ago he'd be on Maddow in realtime--now its Meidas Touch

Grossly escalatory and illegal Sunday Noem letter to Hegseth requested DoD give "direction to DoD forces to either detain, just as they would at any federal facility guarded by military, lawbreakers under Title 18 until they can be arrested and processed by federal law enforcement, or arrest them."

Third Amendment scholars, buckle up! 😂

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks Trump's "anti-DEI" and anti-trans funding orders, as applied to organizations that sued in a case led by San Francisco AIDS Foundation and filed in federal court in San Francisco. Judge Jon Tigar (Obama)'s opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This MAGA account claims LA protesters are shooting at National Guard jets. The footage is actually from a video game.
