We don’t need to go halfway around the world to find a country run by lunatics.

Luxembourg becomes second country worldwide to enshrine abortion rights in constitution Large majority in parliament backs amendment to Luxembourg’s highest law, with β€˜freedom’ to have an abortion added to constitution

Luxembourg lawmakers have voted to enshrine the freedom to have an abortion in the country’s constitution. However, wording was changed from "right" to "freedom" making it much weaker, and the country has a 12-week abortion limit that won't change.

American soldiers are being killed because the president doesn’t want you to know that he raped little children for decades. And if I’m wrong, sue me, asshole.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

β€œThe Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating v...

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

two social media posts, one after the other. The first is about the death of the Iranian girls, the next is about Trump saying that he is defending American children

Man, the number of people on this platform who are like, β€œI’m not voting for any dem who doesn’t ride a unicycle across a tightrope stretched over the Grand Canyon,” is just astounding. I mean if you look around at where we are now and can’t see your purity tests as a problem, GTFO.

Yes, ICE and ISIS sound the same, but they are different. They are state-sponsored terrorists sponsored by different states.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

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."

Pretty sure the complaint is that young Americans are only in harm's way because the deranged president launched an unconstitutional war without any effort to justify it and, apparently, with no real plan or agenda in mind.

So, now seems like the best time for all that?

Pete Hegseth’s Crazed, Angry Tirades on Iran Give Dems a Big Opening It’s not enough for Democrats to say Trump’s war rationales haven’t been fully explained. The problem is that they are patently false.

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/

Americans had such faith in their military to do the right thing.
They will never obey illegal orders.
They will uphold their oath to the constitution.
They will never conduct illegal wars.
What did they really expect in a lawless country run by pedophiles? #cdnpoli

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.

So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Beware Citizens!! We have a lot a trolls trying to pit the political left against the center-left. That ensures a Republican win. Democrats are the party of democracy and progress, not Republicans!!

Two globe-shaped world maps titled "Trump’s strikes* in 2025-26" use red dots and text callouts to illustrate various illegal US military actions across the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East. On the Western globe, markings indicate a "war against drug trafficking from South America" with clusters of dots in the Caribbean and a specific note stating US forces captured NicolΓ‘s Maduro and flew him out of Venezuela. On the Eastern globe, the map highlights several conflict zones: strikes against Isis in Nigeria, Syria, and Somalia; continued targeting of Houthi rebels in Yemen; and a "major strike against Iran" launched by the US and Israel, indicated by a dense concentration of red dots across the Iranian plateau.

I blame the Norwegian Nobel Committee for Trump bombing Iran and everyone else.
