Adriana Smith's son Chance was born by emergency C-section at 24-25 weeks gestation. Meaning he was removed from her dead body 8 weeks earlier than planned because the organ support was failing. Bodies are not meant to function without a brain and should not be forced to do so.

With Palantir finally receiving the attention it deserves, we wrote an article documenting Thiel’s history with Zuckerberg, his influence over JD Vance, and the connection between his neoreactionary ideology and Russell Vought’s Project 2025. It has always been Thiel’s plan to destroy democracy.

Last week: The National Intelligence Council produced facts Trump didn't want to hear. This week: Tulsi Gabbard fired the National Intelligence Council's leaders. The broader message to the IC isn't subtle, but it is dangerous.

Trump fails to understand that “gifts” like this are not “free of charge” which is wht the Founding Fathers wrote the emoluments clause into the Constitution. Fast legal action is called for here. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/u...

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration. She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic." Gonna thread some of her lowlights.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

We said, “Never again!” The question is…did we really mean it, or were we just puffing up our chests to sound like people we wanted to believe we were, but knew deep inside…we…were not? The test that will reveal the answer is before us.

Still fuming about that press conference. The way RFK Jr. talks about autism is not just scientifically wrong—it’s deeply offensive. Calling autistic kids "damaged" or implying they’ve been "lost" or "stolen" doesn’t just spread misinformation—it dehumanizes real people.
