the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

The thing is, any decent left-leaning partisan could demolish Cruz just as easily but he would never do their shows, while mainstream journalists won't try because they think it would show bias. The thing Tucker really did best was fool Cruz into thinking he'd be safe, everything after that was easy

not to get all partisan or anything but i think going to war with Iran for literally no reason beyond puffing up Trump's ego would be bad

Just earlier before Clark said this, Trump said he didn't care that Gabbed had testified the intel community didn't have evidence of Iran building a nuke, sooooooooo...

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him. We will never get a straight answer on his medical exam, and yet you have gone after Joe Biden with a vengeance."

so like i know brad lander is a candidate for mayor but maybe the headlines should focus on the fact they arrested the guy CURRENTLY IN CHARGE OF NEW YORK CITY’S FINANCES

I know this is deadly serious with a madman in charge, yet I keep thinking of this from Archer: Lana: 'And on top of that suck-salad, you wanna sprinkle on the bacon bits of "Let's tell them we're coming"?' Malory: 'Well?' Lana: 'Well, there's this new thing called the element of surprise?'

Re: Lander being detained by ICE, it’s important also to understand that Lander is, while I wouldn’t say “abolitionist,” extremely anti-carceral and a strong proponent of changes to the carceral system and alternatives to incarceration. He’s probably the most powerful person in NYC with those views.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

America's secret police just detained a guy who might be Mayor of New York City and his NYPD escort. We have to abolish ICE. That should be the baseline Democratic Party position.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

War is pretty scary. I sure hope me and my loved ones don’t get blown to smithereens. Hopefully reality show host Donald Trump and weekend talk show host Pete Hegseth know what they’re doing.

Remember all the assholes in 2003 who insisted that we’d be greeted as liberators and called you anti-American for opposing the war and then changed their minds many years later to pretend like they always opposed the war? They’re doing the same schtick again.

Please pardon my language, but what the fuck (at the headline, not the OP)? Cyrus II, the founder of the Achaemenids (the first Persian Empire) gets really good press in Jewish scripture, because he allowed the exiles to return and rebuild the temple; they benefited from Achaemenid tolerance.

I really do not want to die in a nuclear holocaust. But because some rich idiot with NPD got mad no one liked his big parade and that the other kids laughed at him at the G7 table, the possibility has now increased.

BREAKING Fox News reports that President Trump has asked his national security team to be in the Situation Room and prepared when he returns to the White House this evening from the G7.

It has been four days since Kristi Noem, the head of the department of homeland security, said this in public. If meant literally, it describes the end of democracy in California. If not meant literally, would be nice for that to be clarified and for the troops to leave. bsky.app/profile/just...

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

If you have the ability to give, there is a GoFundMe for the Hortman children to cover funeral expenses and home repairs. (shared by a reliable source connected to the family)

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

Wild that the Times effectively endorses Andrew Cuomo for mayor while implying that Bill de Blasio's mayorship was a disaster and thus a huge problem for Mamdani, when as I recall the main problem with de Blasio's mayorship was... Andrew Cuomo

As a heads-up, over on the former bird site they are already saying Boelter is a patsy or that he person in the photos isn't the same person due to the gray hair versus no hair in the security footage. Fuck, this will never end, huh?

The MN murderer seems to be Erik Prince without the trust fund. A Christian missionary/anti-communist paramilitary type reminiscent of any number of Christian anti-communists from the Cold War era who would travel the world killing and/or converting people for Christ. fortune.com/2025/06/14/m...

It's not just Musk, it's dips like the NY Post, Colin Rugg and Mike Cernovich, etc. It's gaslighting, plain and simple. And no doubt much more in the future. "A Democratic legislator was assassinated; right-wing influencers coughed out disinformation" minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/14/a...

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Attended the No Kings protest in Glendale earlier, easily more than a thousand people at least and had a late lunch, so probably just rest the rest of the night because I am sweating like a pig, it is muggy out everywhere. Still, it was amazing and heartwarming to see so many people.
