Trying to write about the Noem/Padilla thing and having difficulty even figuring out how to start. Or what kind of headline to write beyond "WHAT THE FUCK, THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY, STOP THE MADNESS"

We will be spending $134 million to deploy Marines following a five-block street protest in downtown LA. We'll offset the cost by forbidding military libraries from buying books by Black authors. by Pete Hegseth

People, we are nearing the end of civilization.

Every needlessly deployed military unit in LA as a House from Game of Thrones. by Chris Cillizza

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

Seeing the Bluesky news today I’m laughing that I’ve had Mark Cuban blocked for months.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

I told you we’d be back

bastard could have just funded the Bloodborne remake for like 0.01% of that and been a national hero

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

My wife, a teacher, said to me a few weeks ago: "If our own government can't understand what we need to do our jobs properly, do you think rich companies that are only looking for profit can?" 😅

Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

More relevant than ever

This is a good statement, keeps focus on the fascists, doesn't tut tut the protestors once

Good stuff

Shitler and his goons are losing their minds over this post from ABC's Terry Moran. Like, they are threatening all kinds of retribution, and he was forced to take this post down. Thing is, he's right, and maybe we can Streisand Effect this to support him and the truth.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

asking the librarian if they have any books in dark mode

(at a kid's friend's pool party) that's me in the corner that's me in the spotlight looking at my bluesky

If the causation is here — if he really did resign over this — that’s huge. That is very indicative of some extremely questionable decisions.

This headline is trash, though. Trump administration races to blame DOGE because Trump administration, of which DOGE is a key part, fired too many people. Subhead: The Washington Post went alone with their charade, allowing the Trump administration to act like DOGE is not them.

“We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person, but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not,” the TSA said.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Keep track of any Democrat or commentator or personality who advocates for Musk to be welcomed back into the fold. These are people you cannot trust and should be kept as far away from the levers of power as humanly possible.

With the country descending into fascism, it's the perfect time for me to plug my new book on the left's cancel culture problem.

I have the spent the last ten years attacking higher education as too woke and liberal. The fact that 53% of the population now agrees with me shows that I was right all along.

These consultants are literally just calling minorities and gay people "bad groups" now. If you don't understand this comes down to "let's crank up the racism dial" I simply don't know what to tell you.

Narrator voice: They were the greatest nation on earth by very few metrics

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

is dune okay for my kids i've heard it has a lot of spice

BREAKING: The opinion of a random person you just encountered online is not, in fact, the universally embraced belief of "the Left" or "Liberals" or whoever else you'd like to paint with a broad brush. More as this story develops.

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

It’s this song but for politics

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Happy 8th bday, covfefe 🤡

Never has any leader had so many people wanting to make the argument that “not wearing any clothes actually makes the emperor better dressed if you think about it.”

I believe that America is first and foremost about freedom. Here’s why I have no problem with masked men without proper identification confronting and arresting and taking away people.

the first sentence of Elon's obituary should be that he was one of the greatest mass murderers in the history of humanity this is his legacy
