Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

Took Finn out for an evening walk last night and took a lil snap of the late sunset along with a crescent moon and Venus. #Photography

This says it all.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

If I had known this was the official Country Over Party I would've brought more booze.

I don't think I've ever been as ashamed of any US president as I am of doe-doe-brain. What a total mafia goon and slob. I'm still waiting for the bad cholesterol to take hold of him and choke the living daylights out of him. And yes, I said that out loud.

Trump isn’t just rootin’ for Putin; he’s puttin’ out for Putin.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

If you have to buy essentials (food, medicine), do it only from small, local businesses!

If “cold-blooded” was a human… Nothing screams “patriotism” like cosplaying as ICE to terrorize immigrants. It’s pure cruelty, and CPAC is out here cheering for harassment like it’s a game. F*ck this dude!!!

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Interesting data in light of current events. More about welfare queen Elon Musk: www.profgalloway.com/elon-musk-we...

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Trump was demanding reparations from Ukraine larger than Germany had to pay. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/f5be6b1...

SNL’s commercial parodies over the years. Always loved these. #SNL50 youtu.be/xmaS4fyGo2c?...

That’s more like it.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

It’s remarkable how quickly the Trump team has sabotaged all the things that actually made the U.S. influential on the global stage. Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

Spot on.

Another student I work with is defending her PhD dissertation in the morning and no amount of online malarkey from the world’s richest and saddest dork is going to steal that joy and celebration of her great work.

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

Within 24 hours of September 11, 2001, Canada's Ambassador to NATO unflinchingly rallied to the aid of the United States, and invoked NATO's Article 5, the only time it's ever been used in NATO's history. "Hell, this is an Alliance," he said. "We've got Article 5." www.nato.int/docu/review/...

Once again, a fundamental reason why so many academics despise Trump, Vance, Musk & company is that we’ve all had our share of The Guy Who Didn’t Do The Reading But Demands to Be Heard

Watching these red states attack federal funding—apparently not realizing that most of their states are broke and would completely collapse without it—will always be hilarious to me. “Give it all back to the states!” Sit down, Cletus. Your state can’t buy sandwiches for kids.

JD Vance: "Violence against a police officer is not justified, but ... "

Policy analysis: it’s better for US national interests and security to support members of the military and their families (for example, with the VA, the Commissary, Exchange, etc), than to have billionaire dorks get more tax cuts.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”

Just clean out that whole thing, clean out the entire ethnicity, huh

This is perfect explanation

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

Just because I've got a lot of followers and a public profile doesn't mean you can pop into my replies and call me names, drag me, cuss at me, or be rude as hell and think I'm not allowed to respond or get angry. I don't know how you were raised but this isn't a free fire zone to just be a jerk.

There is something so sweet about the human capacity for enthusiasm. For a few days everyone in LA has been glued to Watch Duty and getting in the weeds of how water drops work. Now there are people out here who honestly have a favorite water plane that they are following closely and rooting for.
