Times left out this part

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

Get ready for all of the MAGAts to start being shocked at the increase of gasoline prices. It happens every spring when winter blend is replaced by summer blend.

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

This man does not drop f bombs lightly. When he does, you best listen.

i have yet to see a picture of kash patel where he doesn't look coked out

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967. Yes, trillion. On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024. We must ensure fair wages for all.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

The gun lobby did something very similar. If you prevent actual research, you can prevent meaningful fact-based dialogue and therefore regulation.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

The Trump regime is reportedly planning to gut a unit within the DOJ that prosecutes corruption by elected officials. This comes after Trump's DOJ dropped bribery charges against Eric Adams and suspended enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law. "Drain the swamp."

I can’t think of anything that would hurt MAGA more. Especially their political pastors.

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.

You first.

More than 230,000 Canadians signed a petition to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship and passport over what the petition calls his attempts to engage in practices that go against Canada’s national interest.

Make America El Salvador

Good evening.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

So they believe the report is damning. But afraid to cut him loose. Would rather harm the US than stand up straight.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

As America enters the “find out” phase of “elections have consequences,” we’re about to see the bottomless stupidity in the evangelical assertion that “god uses imperfect people to carry out his will.”

There’s always proof of lying on social media.
