no lies detected

Already hearing that Republican members have been showing up to the House floor trying to take up the Dem side seats for the joint address 💀

SATIRE: Leidos wins $10 billion contract to write 5 bullets on what fed employees did last week www.duffelblog.com/p/leidos-win...

And fucking idiots are our leaders. They aren't quite the same.

Hope Macron and Starmer have learned the lesson. Whatever bullshit Trump tells them in the moment, a snake is a snake is a snake. Britain must thrown itself into European strategic independence.

A woman in Idaho was dragged out of a town hall meeting when she asked her elected officials a question. As she was dragged out the MC shouted "Look at this little girl," “We’ve got to be a little aggressive with some of these folks here.“Your voice is meaningless" cdapress.com/news/2025/fe...

The only entity from the campaign promising to privatize public services was Project 2025 and Trump said he wasn't affiliated with it. You cannot claim a mandate to do something you lied saying that you wouldn't do it

This is why we have debt. It’s tax cuts for the wealthy not programs for tbe poor. There are more sources and you can find them easily online. www.americanprogress.org/article/tax-...

Trump’s bullshit blitz has Europe on its knees | Stewart Lee

To state the obvious as has been observed my countless people on numerous occasions, Dems speaking about red areas 10 percent as harshly as Republicans speaking about blue areas is treated as a massive scandal.

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

First IRS, Now DOGE Busts Its Way Into the Social Security Administration talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

So doge accidentally fired the people who manage the country’s nuclear arsenal, published classified data on their hacky website. Are we still going to be alive by next week?

No, because they have no idea any of it is happening. Just a vague sense that stuff is getting done.

Keep in mind that we have ZERO evidence that russia is ready, willing, even considering any meaningful concessions/settlement. Trump's thoughts, desires, and confidence are completely irrelevant here.

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

"In short, when Musk talks about destroying the 'deep state,' what he really means is that he hopes to destroy any and all mechanisms of transparency and accountability that might restrain him. This, even as he enjoys billions in federal contracts and has been empowered by Trump to reshape the US"

with Trump taking over Kennedy Center, trying to imagine "do not play lists." Sound of Music is out because it makes Nazis look bad. South Pacific is anti racist and too work. Hamilton with an all white cast might be okay cuz it lionizes a founding father who commited adultery

watching early 00s remake of Battlestar Galactica remake. holds up really well. in first episode a morally bankrupt and egomaniacal tech guru gives a spy access to most sensitive government databases, and catastrophe ensues. pure escapism.

Donald Trump’s "contempt for government employees is not driven by some sort of noble, reformist instinct: He distrusts public service because he does not understand it," Tom Nichols writes.

I can't tell you how many people told me it was impossible for Joe Biden to remove one guy running the post office

West Point- White Supremacy is now the official policy of the USMA

if you gave me a week, not i could come up with worse foreign policy idea than "US presence in Gaza." maybe conflict with Canada or Mexico . yeesh.

DOGE personnel have completely shut down a congressionally mandated federal agency, they're pilfering through the U.S. Treasury as I type and House Democratic leadership is at an event telling the audience how much they love Israel. These are not our leaders. Look to state and local officials.

How long till the President says the crash victims were losers and chumps like the wounded in action soldiers?

Birthright citizenship is “as close to a national self-definition as we have; it is our legal DNA,” David W. Blight writes. “One cannot overstate the gravity of Trump’s proposed action, nor the historical ignorance on which it stands.”

We kept saying Trump was going to do project 2025, now trump is doing project 2025.

MERITOCRACY my ass. DEI for White, incompetent, ethically compromised men: contrarian.substack.com/p/the-greate...

We spent the last four years writing about the high price of eggs under Biden. Now that they’ve reached an all-time high under Trump we’ve moved on to other topics.

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump. At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.
