BREAKING: Mike Waltz caught discussing military plans in LetterBoxd review of 'Rango'

John-Mulaney-wearing-shades-on-Seth-Meyers vibes.

Goldberg indicates Hegseth lied when he denied texting war plans

The wealthiest man in the world has fully purchased the federal government of the United States. This is one of the most extraordinary crises in the history of this country and you need to ask whether your elected representatives are acting like it.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

So the plan for Democrats is to become indistinguishable from Republicans.

“A person familiar with the matter… said analysts were verbally informed that they were not to follow or report on Russian threats, even though this had previously been a main focus for the agency. “The person said work that was being done on something “Russia-related” was in effect “nixed””

Can’t vote by mail if there is no mail

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Next, they'll claim that all of this (Trump's "LONG LIVE THE KING!" post and its echoing) is a joke, a transparent trick they use repeatedly. As w/ Musk’s Nazi salute, they'll pretend for out-group audiences to be kidding or misunderstood, while the in-group recognizes that they are deadly serious.

“If we make them super depressed maybe they wont vote”

Seems like any journalist or podcaster can influence policy by asking a leading question on a subject of their own interest. How do we get recess therapy and corn kid in the press briefings? The Muppets? Anyone with student loans?
