β€œDeplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

Seriously if this is what he actually believes, then invoke the insurrection act, round up the governor, the mayor, and your own judge, and see how it goes. You're in charge now, asshole. Get the party started

As @jvl.bsky.social has pointed out, Vance explicitly and literally said after the Haitian cat and dog-eating lie that he would continue to lie in order to drive his political agenda. Journalists should preface everything he says with that acknowledgement.

It’s the culture of total ideological permissiveness that got us here - the idea that everyone has a completely unrestricted right to endorse ideas that are stupid beyond belief, and that if you make them feel like an idiot for acting like an idiot, you’re the problem. No. We need MORE judgement.

Hi @playstation.com - I had a very disappointing interaction with your customer service today and really hope someone can call me back resolve an issue I am having. Please DM me with a contact as I would not want this to leave a bad taste in my mouth as a customer. Thanks!

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

a few years ago being a complete moron with dipshit takes and proudly ignorant became a β€œpolitical opinion”

totally maddening the way the press plays along and dems get scared to offend the morons by calling them morons

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

Canada’s top soldier says we should buy additional U.S. F-35 fighter jets and stick with America Gen. Jennie Carignan, the chief of the defence staff, said Monday that the F-35 jet comes with many advantages.

Seems the Canadian military doesn’t see an authoritarian US that’s rejected the rule of law and *directly threatened Canada* as a threat.
Not surprising given their very deep integration and identification with US military but still very troubling.
Highlights the need for wholesale military reform.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.

Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Can we just cancel this already? Absolutely insane for us to tie our military technology to a country that has threatened to annex us.

This doesn’t sound like Explosions in the Sky or any other post-rock. This is a perfect impression of mid-2000s emo - full marks.

A tweet from NBC news: Measles vaccination among babies skyrocketed in Texas as the outbreak grew, new research shows.

I've never seen it so well put before.

Unfortunately this picture will be the official moving of the goal posts - now they can shift to the argument about democrats overreacting to illegal immigrants who now get coffee and their own clothes etc. You got used like when the Red Cross was given access to concentration camps in WW2

You know what's cool about all of this is climate change. We're still cooking the planet but giving it zero attention

We really need to find a way to capitalize on this in Canada. We could conceivably usher in a renaissance of Canadian R&D if we handled this strategically.
