This.

In college, Laura Ingraham went to a Gay Students meeting. The next day, she published the names of everyone in attendance in the school newspaper, at a time when being outed was dangerous. So, yeah, appointing a menace to gay people is a GREAT selection to lead our nation's [checks notes] arts.

𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗘 𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗢𝗡: Patricia Karvelas’ latest sermon on “saving democracy” is a masterclass in hypocrisy. The ABC’s partisan warrior decries division while amplifying it, and wrings her hands over trust while eroding it. @adznauseam.bsky.social with this view. truenewsweekly.com/sermon-on-th...

After six months in the wilderness, True News Weekly is back. Founder Serkan Öztürk has endured a brutal storm but with fresh fire in the belly, we’re ready to take on the bastards once again.

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling. You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Good night, dear friends. See you tomorrow. 📹 This is the man they attempted to humiliate in the Oval office. Zelenskyy will be remembered as a leader of resilience and honor, who stood firm in the face of his country’s darkest hours. His courage and dedication will leave a lasting mark on history.

This man is the leader of the free world.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

51 years ago, the UK prime minister received a report on the astonishing wealth of Scotland's oil. It was hushed up for decades in a bid to suppress support for independence. Today, as energy prices soar under UKLabour despite our nation's renewable riches, The National publishes it in full.

Absolutely overwhelmed to be in the presence of the first-ever printed book to use the Cherokee syllabary, the Cherokee Constitution of 1827. At the American Antiquarian Society.

This is evil. Pure evil.

There was NEVER such a thing as “America First.” It was always “Trump First.”

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to resume hundreds of millions of dollars in payments for U.S. Agency for International Development projects.

🤔

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Mr Garcia, I have drafted an appropriate response for you. You're welcome.

Read this measured but heartbreaking account of the disastrous Musk/Trump destruction of USAID and what its devastation portends for the world and our nation’s indispensable role in relieving global suffering www.thebulwark.com/p/the-human-...

True words.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

I absolutely love this idea.

THIS!!!

I finally did it! Fuck Musk and X - I cannot, and will not support that cockwomble!

Yeah, um… what the actual fuck?!?

PLEASE do this, Mexico. We'll accept "Gulf of Mexico," too. 🙏

The dumbest people who have ever existed are running the country

Friends I’m gonna need all of you to go buy Eve Ewing’s new book “Original Sins/ The (Mis)education of Black and Native children and the Construction of American Racism” when it releases officially tomorrow. Truly an incredible and all too timely book
