Just the worst start of the day when you’re in the shower and drop the glass body wash bottle so you’re standing in glass but because you wear glasses you can’t see anything. Thankfully didnt cut myself but damn that sucks when you’re half awake still lol

Isn’t it time for the folks on the left who aligned themselves with the “anti-woke” movement to admit they were conned?

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

Anyone else get the feeling like Trump with all the “taking over the canal” talk was really to gain leverage so Panama would do this? If there’s one thing his dumb ass understands its leverage.

Sure, since you asked so nicely! 1. McConnell and the Senate GOP kept Judd Gregg from joining Obama’s Cabinet and blocked Tom Daschle — a powerful senator! — from being Obama’s HHS pick.

The information landscape in the United States has reached a crisis point. Billionaires and corporations are using the media outlets they control to curry favor with Trump. The only way to fight back is to build out independent media. popular.info/subscribe muskwatch.com/subscribe

A big part of the game is throwing out ridiculous lies that make Republican voters go “what? That’s a waste, I don’t support that. So glad Trump killed it” Trump happens when half the electorate cant critical think and are unwilling to challenge their beliefs www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

When exactly did place names become “broadly up for grabs because of an election”? You’re treating this madness as a normal part of a presidential election. It is not and it never has been.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

The "anti-war" right seems to frame much of their rhetoric within the America First framework, especially "anti-war" electeds. "Stop funding war and spend it domestically." And yet few--if any--of these same people are condemning Elon Musk slashing programs that do spend domestically.

Her answer is completely unhinged on the level of a Baghdad Bob or the North Korean state TV lady. It could be a bit in The Death of Stalin. A parody of authoritarian regime apparatchiks emphatically professing belief in a patently absurd official line.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

White House defying court orders, persisting with illegal action, and usurping Congress’ power of the purse, which would effectively end checks and balances. If that’s not a Constitutional crisis, what is? Sorry, media, but like climate change, Constitutional crisis is out of “some say” territory.
