General Hannity of the NeoCon brigade is rallying the troops for escalation and prepping them for heavy US involvement. It’s Iraq and WMDs all over again. Who knew we were getting a 3rd Bush term?

Sick fucks

God is angry. No Kings.

That sounds like tearing MAGA apart. Because the Bannon purity test for MAGA is different than Trump’s position on this, & there are many who will agree with Trump no matter what & are 100% pro-Israel no matter what they do. So it is tearing them apart. More than the Elon thing.

Once a person hits a certain level of Botox, they should be immediately disqualified from public service.

How many times has this happened already? How many times will it happen in the coming years? The idiots who fired the competent people suddenly realize they are out of their depth.

I’m 50-50 Trump is going to show up at his military parade tomorrow in a Muammar Gaddafi uniform and just go full Borat.

“Junior lawyers at the firm help set the exit in motion. … A group of litigation associates made it clear to partners they were looking to leave …. The partners began making plans to bring their clients with them and looked for a firm they were sure wouldn’t sign a similar deal.”

U.S. agents suspected Bukele and some in his inner circle of diverting USAID funds to MS-13 leaders. Agents sought to review any U.S. bank accounts held by 15 Salvadoran political figures including Bukele, other senior officials and their relatives.

“We’re treating it as a teachable moment,” said a senior Army official. “It was not a great look.” Tonight, a deep dive on how the Army has been embroiled in -- and strained by -- this moment's partisan politics. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The Shining was released 45 years ago today 🥶

Checking in on the final day of Mike Lindell’s trial for claiming he had proof the 2020 election was stolen …

With Elon off wondering what to get Trump for Fathers Day the Veterans Administration today officially ended the weekly 5 awesome things you did this week email.

“‘There’s nobody in the SecDef’s office at this point that has any … sophistication. They don’t have the experience.’ One source described a longtime Pentagon employee discussing the lack of readiness in the office, ‘close to tears,’ saying ‘the department is so fucked.’”

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Also, I’m not sure that our Secretary of Defense could talk cogently about the politics of the Middle East for three whole minutes, so there’s that too. We are careening toward a geopolitical abyss with only Bibi Netanyahu in charge.

Since I know how the United States Capitol Police (USCP) works, legislation needs to be introduced and passed that guarantees protection for all congressional representatives… which means that USCP should arrest and detain any DHS or other LE that assaults or attempts to detain any representative.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Something that didn’t exist was wrong.

Trump doesn’t understand why everyone hates Putin today since the Soviet Union was our ally in WWII, but everyone likes Japan and Germany now. He says he can’t understand it and neither can Putin. Dumbest MF on the planet.

Thanks for your more-important-than-ever work, Carl, in calling bullshit on these anti-science brown shirts and their scholastic fascisms. #StandUpForScience #StopTrump

The very quintessence of conservative leadership.

The Trump tax cut is a massive wealth transfer from the poorest to the wealthiest. Contrast that with Build Back Better, which helped those at the bottom of the income distribution. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This seems so obvious to me but these days I wouldn't even bet on a bare majority of Americans agreeing.

Federal judge rules Trump illegally deployed national guard troops to Los Angeles www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Employees from all 27 NIH institutes and centers gave their support to the declaration. Most who signed are intimately involved with evaluating and overseeing extramural research grants." zurl.co/ZQn7r #StandUpForScience #BethesdaDeclaration

I’m sure Noem’s husband has nothing to worry about with Corey and Kristi doing road trips together.

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

There has long been zero fucking excuse for Senate Dems to cede the power they have to slow or stop that body’s work from proceeding and now there is less than zero

Sounds like Noem’s ICE is conducting a “special military operation.” Wonder where she got that idea

Says the guy who cut off House Impeachment Managers' attempt to put on witnesses at Trump's Senate trial (following his second impeachment related to January 6) because he wanted to get home for Valentine's Day.

Read these words from Senator Murray, who has said it so well tonight. We’re in danger of losing democracy. Don’t ignore what’s happening. joycevance.substack.com/p/we-are-a-d...

we are so back

I've been in AA for 23 years. Tonight was the first time I went to Shakespeare in the Arb. It was great. Never put off trying excellent things. mbgna.umich.edu/shakespeare-...

Couple things here: 1. With this target deck, and the rumors that Mohammad Bagheri was also targeted, this isn’t just an attempt to dismantle their nuclear program - it’s pretty clearly a regime decapitation strike 2. Iran’s response may be delayed, but will likely be *massive*

We wanted to understand what is happening in the conflict between Iran and Israel. So we talked to three ivermectin users at an Arby's in Massapequa.

“This is about preening for the American public and indulging a kind of juvenile fascination with big, noisy armored vehicles.” (Gift article). www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

She is saying, in effect: "We are going to liberate the city from its democratically elected leadership using the military"
