I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

If touch screens are worse than being drunk, you should be pulled over for using them. There's really no defending that. NHTSA is corrupt and asleep at the wheel.

whining out loud during a televised interview that the reporter should let you lie bc they owe you for the interview is pretty wild

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

You have to be fucking kidding me… Nayib Bukele actually posted a photoshopped image in which salt and cherries were added the glasses on the table.

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

Trump: the tariffs will be paid by China and bring enormous wealth to America Also Trump: I’m removing some tariffs so as not to damage US companies or drive the price of goods sky high causing huge inflation Both can’t be true & if you still support this bullying ignoramus you’re a grade A thicko

Sources tell WIRED that Elon Musk has wanted a government shutdown in part because it would potentially make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

The difference is Elon and Trump would’ve loved a shutdown and Biden did not want one.

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network. I blogged about it here:

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

The replies to this post are a bit unhinged. I hope we’re not building an echo chamber here.

Hundreds of law enforcement officials cheer for James Dennehy as he leaves the FBI New York HQ for the final time. Dennehy was forced to retire as head of the FBI NY division by the Trump Administration after he told colleagues to refuse to disclose the names of agents who worked on J6 cases.

IT'S WHAT THEY SAY IN PRIVATE, OFF THE RECORD, THAT IS THE LIE. IT'S WHAT THEY SAY IN PUBLIC, TO THEIR VOTERS, THAT IS THE TRUTH. How many of our political problems could be solved if Democratic electeds and members of the press understood this, instead of always assuming it was the opposite?

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.
