No sign of this story on the @nytimes @CNN @washingtonpost @USATODAY somehow

Three of the best journalistic entities that are covering all this nonsense right are a parody newspaper, a teen mag, and a magazine for nerds, and I am grateful for them (The Onion, Teen Vogue, and Wired)

I see the Washington Post is platforming an op-ed by Krisi Noem, because apparently they're still pissed they missed their opportunity to publish Goebbels in the original German.

*Really* wishing the people spending billions, wasting countless gallons of water & emiting deadly amounts of greenhouse gases & waste heat to build photorealistic image & video fabricators had spared even half a thought for hard coding identification marking techniques into the generation process.

It cannot be overstated by journalists that the U.S. no longer has any functional federal consumer protection standards

Iran says it feels "betrayed" by man who previously stole from kids with cancer, scammed war widows and seniors at a fake university, took no responsibility for hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths during Covid and just killed 350,000 people by shuttering USAID www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/w...

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Since 2016, all I have done is assume that everything the White House says they won't do, or accuse someone else of doing, will be something they have already done or will do. It's a 100% success rate on this.

Lavos, the alien monster intent on destroying all life, has emerged from beneath the planet's surface to endorse Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race. "Cuomo has the experience and character necessary to lead," said Lavos, while fire rained from the sky

What time today is the emergency Congressional session to launch impeachment proceedings?

I think the Democratic establishment severely underestimates the extent to which the younger half of the electorate would cheerfully send Bill Clinton to Gitmo ourselves

CARTOON OF THE DAY… 🇺🇸

Funny, that.

I haven't heard one news channel this morning anywhere tell the people of the World that this was an ILLEGAL hit on Iran.

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

“forget about intelligence” is what should be on those dumb red hats

Trump quietly shutters the only federal agency that investigates industrial chemical explosions | grist.org/energy/trump...

So, what have we learned. We have no money for U.S. citizens for schools, medical care, food, or quality of life issues. We do, however, have money for missiles, unprovoked wars, and for kidnapping people off the street. We have also learned that one party is evil incarnate and the other is useless.

“U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile” Mission accomplished! 🤦🏽‍♂️

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Seems significant somehow that the thing that would most energize the Democratic base is if approximately 90-99% of currently elected Democrats were to be primaried into retirement.

When I got this notification I thought, what could this possibly be about! LMAO.

Today in particular I’m just so glad Merrick Garland prioritized “norms” over the U.S. constitution, our republic, and any hope of saving our democracy. Otherwise we might have run the risk of a functioning government. I hope Garland knows that—along with Mitch—cowardice will always be his legacy.

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

I think we can all conclude that this experiment of electing a carnie huckster as president was a poor life choice by America

incredible, they cop-tensed the possible beginning of the next world war

I WOULD LIKE SOME CHECKS AND BALANCES RIGHT ABOUT NOW

It’s almost like it was dangerous to let the single worst living human being — a man with zero redeeming qualities — become the most powerful.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

Wild to watch the Democratic Party rallying to push back what they perceive as a threat to order. It turns out they do have it in them to speak out and act with one voice, just not over what we need them to in order to save our country.

Father, grandfather Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado dies in ICE custody. They murdered him through denial of proper food and medical care.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

At least coordination of counterterrorism efforts at the federal level is in the hands of the 2022 keg-stand champion at his house of Sigma Alpha Mu.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

If I ran a police department that really, really, REALLY needed to regain the public trust, I might start cracking down on the asshole bounty hunters driving around my city without license plates.

Take note.

Trump has committed an act of war, bombing three nuclear fuel production sites in Iran - without any evidence of weapon-grade capability and without Congressional approval. Campaign on peace, bring war. Lies, lies, and more lies.

“…they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement while wearing masks…,” said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of Homeland Security. Reporters have to stop letting ridiculous lies like these fly unchallenged

it is killing me that zohran looks like he is advocating for like bog standard social democratic municipal policy with a hint at more market-focus YIMBYism (i guess "abundance for the 99%") and the entire us political establishment is treating him like mao zedong on a long march through manhattan

A president bombing a foreign country without congressional approval is ILLEGAL.

"God, I just want to say, we love you, God." Ya know, maybe stacking an incompetent administration with unhinged theocrats who think God wants them to bring about a world-ending war in the Middle East so Jesus will return was a bad idea.

The war in Iran is illegal under the UN Charter, under War Powers Act, and didn't even comply with National Security Act.

Even the goobers behind him know this is weird.
