Today just felt like the disaster of Trump's war--the stunning lack of strategy and the ramifications --came much more sharply into view. Not even the most hardcore MAGA cultist can defend it as it spirals.

This is a big fat lie. And this guy was in charge of our negotiations with Iran that involved all sorts of technical details? It’s truly amateur hour.

Just a quick reminder that Epstein and Trump weren’t only the best of friends; they were also co-conspirators in the rape of children.

Big part of my deal is reminding liberals our media habits are very different from the average non political person. And I don’t mean that in a value judgement way, I watch garbage tv too. But it means people simply aren’t aware of 99.9% of the stuff we think is “everywhere.”

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

How many millions will suffer because Trump chose to fund 5 days of war instead of cancer treatment and research?

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposed budget for 2026 slashes funding by nearly 40%, reducing it to $4.53 billion, a $2.69 billion decrease from 2025.

Gemini Said They Could Only Be Together if He Killed Himself. Soon, He Was Dead. A new lawsuit alleges Google’s chatbot sent a Florida man on missions to find an android body it could inhabit. When that failed, it set a suicide countdown clock for him.

How many people need to die before these things get regulated? I don’t understand how they’re just getting away with this

Right now, Congress is considering sending more money to fund ICE and CBP. But ICE and CBP are assaulting people in the streets, tearing families apart, and creating fear.

Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.

And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.
