Kristi Noem has been rushed to a hospital with symptoms of exhaustion from all the pretense and costume changes.

The world would be better off without these two…. 👇🏼

NY Governor Kathy Hochul inside 26 Federal Plaza now, seeking answers from DHS/ICE about the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who is still being detained. @thecity.nyc "How long is this going to take, I don't think he has a long rap sheet," Hochul says to agents.

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard was under oath when she told Congress in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. But now that Trump claims otherwise as he pushes to join Israel's attack, she says they're "on the same page" and claims the media misconstrued her testimony.

Under what constitutional authority? Under what constitutional authority? I repeat, under what constitutional authority?

Russian tourist arrivals in the US have been trending up steadily since the invasion of Ukraine. May 2025 marks the second strongest number in terms of Russian tourist arrivals in the US after April 2025. Remarkable that this number didn't go to zero after the invasion...

stop me if you've heard this before but the IDF says "the details of the incident are under review”

Either the Director of National Intelligence lied in her testimony before Congress, or Trump is lying now. It is that simple. Will any Republicans in Congress say a word? Nope. Will media splash huge stories about it and lead with it? Nope. Just another day in Trump’s America.

President Macron of France: Netanyahu did not tell me regime change was his goal

Couldn’t be more deserving of this judgement. #Lindell is a nut job. Jury finds MyPillow founder defamed former employee for a leading voting equipment company www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

SEN. TINA SMITH: “.. I hope that my talking with him will cause him to think more about the hateful things that he has been putting out on his personal X account that really should have no place in our public discourse.” @politico.com www.politico.com/live-updates...

Trump: everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran

Abrego Garcia pleaded not guilty to transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S., a crime Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis publicly boasted about committing. When will those governors face human trafficking charges? Asking for a friend. abcnews.go.com/US/kilmar-ab...

There’s an asymmetry to the “Soros paid people to protest” idea. The Right is arguing “nobody actually believes those things they are fighting for.” Whereas I absolutely believe Trump supporters are completely sincere in their deeply shitty values.

Pummeling an adversarial country out of existence should never be a war time goal. It's a consequence of a failure to have clear and measurable objectives that would bring about the end of the conflict as quickly as possible with a minimal loss of human life. Doing otherwise invites war crimes

I don't think anybody's quite gotten to the full Mike Lee story. He rarely talks in hallways, now posts conspiratorial stuff regularly, went from 2016 warning against Trump to working with members of his team ahead of 1/6/21. Lately a cheerleader for nixing NATO, Fed, impeaching judges, etc.

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Wild Faith is a great book and as I've come back into religion I've done my best to call out Christian extremism whenever and wherever I see it. Please go read this book.

Sadly, I’m afraid that those with smooth brains will NEVER get it. 🙄

The G7 is now a joke, a zombie institution from the old order still going through the motions. Created as a group of economically developed, liberal-order-supporting democracies, it's now effectively the G6, plus 1 big country opposed to democracy, open trade, and mutually beneficial cooperation.

In 2018, when this was first posted, Jacob 'whites only' Wahl was simply an openly avowed racist. Now seven years later, he's also a criminal convicted of several crimes, fined millions of dollars and is under investigation for several more. Rotten MAGA apples only get more rotten, never less.

Still quietly chuckling to myself about the Tribune describing people giving the Chicago middle-finger salute to the Trump Tower (a local tradition) yesterday as “curs[ing]… with their hands”

👇🎯Once again, behold the unparalleled parsimony & explanatory power of the Dennis Green Unified Theory Of 🇺🇸 Politics And again, this is straight out of the Weimar playbook: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Yes, by getting rid of him and all of MAGA GOP. He's a complete idiot if he thinks he can control another country, let alone one that is actively in war and not an ally! 🤦‍♀️

I just checked the New York Times mobile app and did not see a single story focused on yesterday’s #NoKings protests on the main tab or in the U.S. or Politics sections. Trump’s birthday charade is still featured prominently though

L.A. Taco scored a scoop for the history books: editor Javier Cabral recognized Arturo Obrego at Union Station after the elderly Army vet's assault by the LAPD mounted phalanx went viral and got his story. Pure courage. The horse troops have to go. www.instagram.com/p/DK6LWNBOpTC/

Vote Weiner — because some mistakes deserve a third chance and better lighting.

The US was founded on a rebellion against an insane King. We will not tolerate a mad King Now or Ever. #NoKings #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory

Just noticing Hegseth for the first time holy shit that guy knows he's so fucked
