I get that there are serious political and religious considerations here, but has anyone stopped to ask what the papacy of Pope Leo XIV means to the Deep Dish vs Thin Crust debate? Because there's guy from the South Side who can speak Ex Cathedra on this issue now.

Same energy

DOGE is either ruinously incompetent or treasonous. Full context: www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

In 2024 there were 525 billion reasons for the US and China to avoid war with each other. Trump's tariffs make it likely that, by summer, there will be none. This isn't just a trade-war. It's a prelude to a shooting war. Trump's tariffs make a Chinese move on Taiwan more likely.

Let's talk about how profoundly stupid these tariff rates are. Not how profoundly stupid tariffs are -- there are literally whole undergraduate majors in that -- just the rates.

This was….five months ago

Suck it, Strom.

Time to speak up

Holy shit, Sen Cory Booker is doing an honest-to-god filibuster! www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Nf...

Estimates imply sky blue, water wet, sun hot

I wondered when someone would realize that Jubilee's "Surrounded" rules could be weaponized. Check out their "Dr vs Anti-Vaxers" video and watch how AS SOON AS THE DOCTOR BEGINS TO REBUT they vote to move on It turns the whole thing into platform for conspiracy nuts www.youtube.com/watch?v=o69B...

I know that the Florida special elections are important but is the best the Democratic Party could find to run in FL-1 really a lady named "Gay Valimont" and was it REALLY good idea to have her social handle be "@gayforcongress?" Really? Really?

Number of intelligence officers fired over having a pride channel in the secure government messaging app: 100 Number fired for talking about an active military operation in an insecure app which is known to have been penetrated by the Russian government WHILE THEY WERE IN RUSSIA: 0

Narrator: they were not clean on OPSEC

Only one American stealth jet has ever been shot down. It was an F-177A over Yugoslavia and the reason it was shot down was an OpSec failure. The enemy knew when and where the jet would be and used that to defeat its stealth. This leak put American airmen at risk. It's a miracle they weren't killed

Whiskeyleaks. 🤣😭

Hot take: I think it's too late for Democrats to stop a "Blue Tea Party" movement. That ship sailed when Biden put Merrick Garland in as Attorney General. You can't lead this party from a position of measured caution anymore. The time for soberly defending a crumbling political status quo is past.

So... RFK Jr has somehow pressured Steak 'n Shake into cooking their fries in beef tallow because "its healthier?" I mean... it's probably not but I'm kinda with @pushkinpress.com Malcolm Gladwell in that proper fries were stolen from us.

Only three of these assholes are even up for election in 2026. The hell kind of political leadership is this? Jeanne Shaheen - 2026 Gary Peters - 2026 Dick Durbin - 2026 Fetterman - 2028 Masto - 2028 Schatz - 2028 Hassan - 2028 Schumer - 2030 Gillibrand - 2030 King - 2030
