How come no one asked the President of El Salvador why he wasn't wearing a tie in the oval office?

Which chicken shit House Dem said this off the record? Which one of you is too cowardly to add your name to this horrid statement? Speak up so we can primary your ass back to the stone age.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Remember, the thugs falsely calling Garcia a “terrorist” or “gang member” are the same idiots who enacted massive tariffs on an island populated only by penguins, and put our Navy pilots in danger by planning military attacks via emoji-filled group chats on an insecure app.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

My generation is not going to forget seeing teacher Christa McCauliff, who trained specifically for a mission for months and months to be the first teacher in space, die along with the crew, as the Challenger exploded live on our classroom TVs. Rich women can f-off with their 9 min space selfies 🤦‍♀️

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Tomi Lahren: "Trump has managed to isolate China from the rest of the world." BTC: "There's reporting now that Japan & South Korea are negotiating trade deals with China... the EU is eliminating Chinese EV tariffs. I'm concerned you're not familiar with which country is being isolated."

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

There is no difference between saying citizens and non-citizens can be deported without due process. This should be obvious, but let me explain. If there is no due-process, how do you prove you're a citizen? And to whom?

Sorry for the late-night update. Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

Ukraine agreed to an unconditional ceasefire more than a month ago. russia still hasn’t agreed to one but Trump thinks that Ukraine is the problem because it wants to buy air defense systems to defend its civilians from russian strikes

If you're a Democrat (in this case, @kaine.senate.gov) & you're posting on Twitter, you're mostly posting into the void at this point. Check out these identical posts by Sen. Kaine on Twitter (almost no views or engagement) vs. Bluesky (LOTS of engagement). bluevirginia.us/2025/04/tues...
