Fact checking! It's still a thing!

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

The euro and every other major currency is surging against the dollar

kristi ain't playin' y'all

Pete Hegseth has one sideburn. did the other one get shaved off as a prank or what?

I saw this man break a national championship trophy in half last week with my bare eyes, absolutely no way he didn't internally decapitate the pope trying to give him a piggyback ride.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

I for one feel sad that the last public figure meeting the Pope had before dying was this one

Pope Francis really survived double pneumonia and acute respiratory distress only to meet with JD Vance and said “yeah, fuck this” RIP, sir.

They hate America, the constitution, and our democracy, and want a dictatorship instead. They’re not hiding it.

LOUDER FOR THE POLITICIANS HIDING IN THE BACK

Sen. Chris Van Hollen: "I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with." And THAT, my friends, is the proper response to Republican hate propaganda that exploits families of murder victims.

AP's Tara Copp reports that there were 13 people on Whiskey Pete's family Signal thread. x.com/TaraCopp/sta...

Enough is enough. #ShitfacedPete has got to go.

i’m getting van hollen pilled

Meanwhile at the DOD

Judge James Boasberg said he would start contempt proceedings against the Trump administration for showing “a willful disregard” to his order to return a wrongfully deported Maryland man. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I said this a few months ago, and I'll say it again: Part of our job as citizens is to make ICE as uncomfortable and frustrated as possible. Not just non-cooperation but actively looking for any way to increase their anxiety. Make life as difficult as possible for them. (thread)

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Bill Maher is the Marco Rubio of comedy.

I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree Turned into an SG

Donald Trump, speaking at a CNN Town Hall in May 2023: “They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours.”

I have no sympathy. I'm sure Reps. Ilhan Omar and Sarah McBride, for example, recieve daily threats just for existing. You don't see them caving to tyranny because of it.

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

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

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.

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

I keep thinking about how people like Rubio are why the Holocaust happened. Not everyone is a committed ideologue; many are morally bankrupt, ambition-seeking sycophants who care more about their advancement than any principle. www.discourseblog.com/p/the-democr...

JD Vance just broke apart the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy on live television.

Any Democratic politician who doesn't understand Nayib Bukele's grave offense against the sovereignty of the American people and constitutional order and say as much publicly should have no future in elected office. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bukel...

MF'er has more loose screws than Ace Hardware

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Every state in the union should join Arizona and Michigan in helping their citizens report when they're experiencing problems with Social Security services.

Try not to laugh.

I started hating Bill Maher before hating Bill Maher was cool
