lmfao

the thing is: trump won because of eggs and afghanistan but people don’t like him and never have, and dems should just trash him constantly and ignore bootlickers like tapper

Soldiers involved in Fort Bragg's Trumpalooza were screened for their political allegiance and the army allowed the sale of Trump merch on base - this is a #CivMilSky dumpster fire More evidence of military leaders falling in line www.military.com/daily-news/2...

thinking about Kendrick's half time show again

i truly fucking hate this racist weasel

Uh, pardon me but...what the fuck? I keep looking for the part at the beginning where these guys signal the car to stop and they just...don't? They just ram-trap it and then point guns - and they've got the wrong car no less!

immigration has been the issue that been holding up his approval (ie keeping it in the mid 40s) and lol he decided to blow that

BRO I WAS FUCKING JOKING

We can get those numbers down. We'll make GWB circa Fall 2008 look beloved in comparison.

Okay, look. I get “nobody voted for this” in terms of like, psychotic beefs with Canada, but voting for Trump in 2024 then disapproving of this is like driving to KFC, then getting mad the menu is nothing but fried chicken.

Trump is letting weirdo RFKJr make it difficult if not impossible for your grandchildren to get vaccinated for measles & polio & chickenpox & hepatitis & mumps & flu & COVID.

Few minutes ago @maddow.msnbc.com talked about a n’hood in San Diego protesting ICE raid on an Italian restaurant. She said the protest was to get those restaurant workers home. “Home” That’s one of the roots of our righteousness, of our power. ICE is targeting _Americans_. Those people are us.

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

[email protected] I’m told you’re not planning on showing up tomorrow for NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya’s hearing tomorrow after NIH researchers published this public declaration abt gutting NIH? Is that true? arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

RFKJr wants today’s children to get chicken pox now so they can also get shingles later.

🚨 Ear-Witness to Gaslighting Somehow my family was on the list to join OH Senator Husted’s teletownhall last night. I listened in for 45 minutes. The level of disingenuous BS was truly nauseating. 1/

BTW, important reminder: People who rioted in Minneapolis after George Floyd’s murder were not from that community. I lived for a while 10-12 blocks from where he was murdered. Those crowd setting fires were almost all white. That is not a very white n’hood. Those rioters came from somewhere else…

This happened in Seattle too. And Portland.

I’ve seen people talk about this theory that once x% of a country’s population has become active doing something to protest the government that the government is overthrown Anyone know if that’s an actual serious theory w empirical support? If so, what’s the origins? Titles/links to articles/books?

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

For the first time in 30 years, a Vietnam Veterans ceremony must relocate from DC to Virginia — so Vietnam Draft Dodger Trump can throw himself the world’s creepiest birthday party.

Those Russian troop loses are, per capita, about 10X greater than than the US loses in WWII.

A terrifying escalation:

how many Angelenos have been injured by people other than law enforcement so far? are we in double digits? is there even one?

Man that Quinnipiac poll is -rough- for the WH

I cannot express that all the fuckups, stupidity, bad footnotes, etc. of this are exactly what happens when DOJ is horrendously overstretched and has no capacity to actually respond to law suits. The Trump WH literally feels is danger of a default judgement at some point.

relatedly, i wish the ICE goon squads they’re allegedly sending to seattle all the best hiking up capital hill

big beautiful bill looking like a huge pile of shit to most americans

one big reason beltway journalists shouldn’t buy white house spin about los angeles is that the actual public opinion info we have doesn’t suggest the president has a winning hand here

i am beginning to think that ICE are deliberately choosing cities with more restrictive gun laws, because this could have very easily gone very badly for them somewhere else

It remains so funny to me how many people who claim to be socialists thought the Biden Administration was a disaster for the working class when the objective truth is it was a disaster for the bosses.

the thing is, a lot of these guys got wealthy before they had any real understanding of responsibility, both in an immediate sense (family, etc.) and in a broader sense (social, community). they don’t understand *why* the nobles had the oblige

we’re running the entire country off a series of repeating 90 day pauses it’s ridiculous

every week is infrastructure week

i appreciate that wyden’s office keeps conducting investigations like this even though they’ll go nowhere with this DOJ and congress

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

Democrats were successful when they tied Republicans in downballot races to Elon. Time to do the same with Miller. Make him the face of the administration, hit him constantly and relentlessly, and tie every single Republican politician to him unless they explicitly condemn him.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

I think there are some on this site who are way too eager to force an ultimatum on the armed forces. The outcome of a "Whose orders do I follow" situation is entirely dependent on which authority has more legitimacy, and the weight of 2.5 centuries of norms still leans heavily in favor of POTUS.
