In short: No. There was no plan.

If only Tillis had known about this book when she was nominated

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

I really don't think there is any way to "despot-proof" a political system if one side simply decides it doesn't care about the rules anymore.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

Threatening our European allies with military invasion—again—poisons the trust and admiration that Americans built around the world, over generations.

The partnerships some of our ancestors fought and died for.

Reckless vandalism, the opposite of Conservative, harms Americans on the Right & Left.

What we are seeing is a deliberate, well-funded campaign to make transgender Americans second-class citizens—without legal protections and vulnerable to state violence.

To be fair, who among us hasn't made plans that snuck up on us unexpectedly, leaving hundreds of people entrusted to our care stranded overseas as bombs rain down on 10 countries, closing airports and sending energy prices soaring worldwide, and instantly destroying billions in market value?

March 3, 1926: A very British bulldog and his young friend, George Spinney, outside the Middlesex Hospital Open Championship Dog Show in London.

The Bill of Rights literally says the exact fucking opposite of what these fashy bastards are doing.

just remarkable how much the executive class of this country misread a complete cultural shift into a tiny popular vote victory largely based on a backlash to inflation because of their own biases

how do you ask a man to be the last person to die for a lateral move

Trump is fundamentally a bully and he's spent his entire presidency dominating whoever he felt like, secure in the belief consequences were impossible. The idea of starting a conflict he couldn't walk away from terrifies him and all his cronies. But it was inevitable they'd start one eventually.

We've renamed the DOD the Department of War. Our troops are Warfighters. No of course we're not "at war" you dumb lib

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

David Ellison Unveils Sweeping Vision for Warner Bros: “This Is About Reinventing the Business” HBO Max and Paramount+ will be merged when the deal closes, the mogul told Wall Street early Monday morning.

yes, nothing says "innovation reinvention" like a nepobaby trust fund brat with no meaningful experience being gifted a massive hollywood empire by his technofascist dad, who leveraged his corrupt influence over the country's pudding-headed autocrats to box out competitors (?)

Archivist? The one who receives and processes the Electoral College votes that Trump tried to forge last time?

This isn’t contradictory if you believe that both women and children are property

I gotta hand it to Altman here, deciding to sign up to be the new face of the regime’s AI efforts right as they start an unpopular and out of control war with Iran was a real masterstroke in PR

bonus points for letting a major competitor position themselves as The Ethical AI Company

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

It’s incredibly frustrating that no corruption, no recklessness, no perversion is enough for the people capable of removing President Trump to remove President Trump.

Christofascism is a far-right ideology merging fascist, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political doctrines with Christian theology, aimed at imposing a specific religious, cultural, and political order.

These are the same opinion.

2022: Women and children are property.

2026: Did we stutter?

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

incredible, he did the joke

Bombing elementary schools I guess.

BREAKING: I just spoke to President Trump he said you’ll find soon what the retaliation will be for the attack on the U.S. embassy in Riyadh and for the U.S. service members killed. He also told me he doesn’t think boots on the ground will be necessary.

notable that Trump's media strategy to sell this war is doing bespoke phone conversations with individual reporters instead of answering questions publicly

just incredibly great that the CEO of a cutting edge multibillion dollar technology company working in defense contracting gets to have incredibly high stakes “learning experiences” that a middle manager with three years of team leadership experience would have understood must be avoided

kind of astounding to consider that Trump won the 2024 election to a significant extent because Biden's support for Israel became so politically toxic, then he decided a good governing strategy would be to become full on a client state of Israel
