My reaction when people act surprised that a weekend Fox News host isn’t qualified to run the Pentagon.

My condolences to everyone in the Catholic faith and beyond who are feeling the loss of Pope Francis today. May his memory be a blessing.

Everyone is focused on the cash Noem was carrying when her purse got stolen. I’m wondering about the “medication” that was in there.

DEI “Pete Hegseth, arrogance is unbelievable. So much self-projection here. He is a fraud—unqualified, corrupt, and a disgrace. A grifter with a history of white supremacy, he’s everything that’s wrong with this country. He doesn’t belong anywhere near power. #Resist #ExposeTheGrift #NoMoreHegseth”

Cade Cunningham has zero assists and the Pistons are leading. The Knicks haven't taken a single free throw and are within two possessions. Several sequences have made me say, out loud, "Jesus CHRIST." The playoffs are cool.

OMG

I for one feel sad that the last public figure meeting the Pope had before dying was this one

Just a couple of dudes who like sharing secret information for clout.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

Love this one

It’s so adorable that Pete Hegseth thought it was going to be *Pentagon leakers* who made him look bad. Bless his little heart.

George Takei turns 88 today, and he’s more than a queer icon — he’s a legend. From breaking barriers as Sulu on Star Trek, to surviving internment, creating Allegiance, & becoming a bold voice for LGBTQ+ rights. Happy birthday, George — you’ve boldly gone and brought us all along.

Day 90:

Can’t wait to read what really happened.

I mean, it's not like we didn't point out that a loudmouth drunkard with poor impulse control and a history of abuse wouldn't make a great SECDEF...
