This hits hard.

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Laguna Beach is an art colony. We support the arts. Chip Bok is the brilliant award-winning political cartoonist that created this artwork.

I've said often, based on history, that there's no reasonable expectation most people will be courageous in the face of fascism. Bravery is rare. It's valued for a reason: Most people aren't cut out for it, for reasons good and bad. But man, you'd still sorta hope the ABA woulda held the line.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

There’s something happening in this country.

Feels like a good time to revisit this old gem

Retirement of Mitch McConnell marks the formal transition of the GOP away from evil people who knowingly feed their base vile propaganda to build support for regressive policies and towards a party that has been fully captured by its own propaganda apparatus and believes all that dumb shit

Make Nazis afraid to salute in public again

THIS. (Cartoon by @billbramhall.bsky.social)

I listened to this today and it was really good. The best part was General Hodges pointing out that the North Koreans have the most masculine anti-woke army in the world and they’re getting slaughtered in Kursk. youtu.be/vXgyjXdx60o?...

You may not like Bolton but he worked day in and day out next to Donald Trump. He knows the man.

Putin owns Trump
