A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

Women's History Illuminated Women's History and the National Historic Landmarks Program

There’s a long tradition of right-wingers citing Chicago crime to distract from their own misconduct. In 1955, the Jackson (MS) Clarion-Ledger ripped Mayor Daley for asking the feds to probe the lynching of Chicago teen Emmett Till, saying Chicago should worry about communists and crime Instead.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

"It's a good thing that you withdrew those tariffs! A very good thing! It was your plan all along!"

Who did this?

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

A reporter asks Trudeau about Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly’s characterization of the current U.S. situation which she called a "psychodrama."

"How would you characterize it?"

Trudeau, speaking for a weary nation, “Thursday."

Guess what happened in 1929 ...

Imagine FDR telling Churchill he wasn’t thankful enough
for the lend-lease act. Imagine FDR defending Hitler
while berating Churchill
in the Oval Office. That’s exactly the equivalent of
what happened yesterday.

It's the Musk Effect. Someone who sounds like a genius until he starts talking about something you're knowledgeable about, and you realize he's saying the dumbest shit ever.
