Neither side can have an actual honest, productive conversation about literally anything because everyone's been so brain-poisoned by online rhetoric & team sport mentality that they think 60 second clips of assholes talking into their iPhone cameras contain solutions to complex societal issues

Trump is on vacation and the Dow is down over 2000 points, and negative on the year. Oh he also skipped the dignified transfer of troops killed in Lithuania. Fox completely silent.

Boyle: It’s pretty striking that literally all Donald Trump had to do was nothing. He could sit there, watch Fox News all day, sit with the remote control, occasionally tweet, and then on weekends go down to Mar-a-Lago and play golf. But instead, he purposely went about ruining this economy.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

BREAKING: The Department of Defense Inspector General has launched an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for sharing secret attack plans against the Houthis using Signal.

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Ballots ran out in blue Milwaukee—not red MAGA country. Yet Crawford still won. Now Trump’s allies are screaming “rigged” because they lost again in Wisconsin. They’re not mad about ballots. They’re mad the court might finally kill GOP gerrymandering.

Leaked emails confirm it: Trump’s Social Security chief canceled Maine’s newborn ID system as revenge. “No money will go… to a petulant child,” he wrote about the governor. Staff warned of fraud and ID theft. He did it anyway. This wasn’t policy—it was payback.

Jim Banks is a piece of shit. He’s the latest example of Republican heartlessness. They celebrate when thousands of people get fired. They gleefully shred all the safety nets. Their goal is to replace the human workforce with AI & robots. Why do they want to create a dystopian nightmare?

As expected, the Signal chat fiasco seems to have been the tip of the iceberg. >20 Signal chats reported. "All four [sources] reported seeing “sensitive information” discussed in these forums, though none said they were aware of classified material being shared" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

From now on when Waltz, Hegseth, Gabbard, or others involved in #SignalGate go before Congress/the press for any reason the first question they get must be "Why are you here?" As in: why are YOU here and not your replacement following your resignation in disgrace? Don't let the news cycle bury this.

I went to an expensive catholic school. Weird vibe. We were taught the Bible very literally, right up until the part in Matthew where he says it’s easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into heaven, at which point our teacher was like, “it’s a METAPHOR.”

If Trump admits to mistakenly sending one immigrant to El Salvador, then you can bet there’s many more. Their stories just haven’t been publicized. Trump paid 6 million to them to imprison them. They had no trials or court Hearings. Trump should be arrested himself. It’s deliberate and cruel.
