look, it’s just a fired prosecutor and an inexplicable tape gap. since when has that ever indicated anything

WATCH: “I’d just like people to freaking approach this Epstein issue with the same zeal & commitment they approached Biden’s age. That’s all I’m asking from the mainstream media.”

Yup. “Approved by both parties hits hard” when looking back on stuff like this:

Yup. “Approved by both parties hits hard” when looking back on stuff like this:

It is very strange that people think Trump's Iran strikes are a personal reaction to his political problems and not 1) directed by Israel 2) approved by both parties, who are both heavily funded by Israel 3) part of a US/Israel plan set in motion in the late 1970s and rehearsed militarily last year.

Trump’s Military Parade Was a Pathetic Event for a Pathetic President The turnout wasn’t anything like what he wanted—and not everyone who showed up was even a fan of his.

The low turnout will force MAGA to go to great lengths to spin a clear flop as a success. Trump wanted badly for this to be a grand, raucous, March on Washington-level event and it just wasn’t close. https://trib.al/C3sbrWh

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

I do love that we’re just re-using plots from the Bush administration now.

“We have to stop Iran from getting WMDs” bro you changed like one letter

Easily the hardest rescue I’ve ever done. 3 years in the making.

Britney Spears just arrived in Scotland. Look how happy she looks ❤️

They should have little collection plates at the polling places, so if you rank Cuomo on your ballot you can throw in some money to cover the next round of sexual harassment cases against him.

President Chump, exactly as petty as we have come to expect

Is this news?
This seems a silly point to make when there is very much news to report.

Bondi’s integrity has no beginning

The outrage is long overdue. Everything you need to know about Trump, Epstein, the transnational networks trafficking minors, and media complicity was published by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social in her brave, brilliant book "Hiding in Plain Sight" in 2020. Highest and most sobering recommendation. (!)

Republicans are having buyer’s remorse over voting for the budget bill.

Now is the time to keep the pressure on.

Spread the word and call your Senator—tell them to vote no.

This take makes me want to vomit

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"

And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

"Political fairy smut" is a keeper

BREAKING!!! Donald Trump is still an asshole.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague

I have a lot of experience using words like "oligarchy" or "kleptocracy" to massive crowds -- and not only do folks not mind, they love learning the etymology. Kleptocracy = rule by/power of thieves. Democracy = rule by/power of the people. That "krat" ending helps folks contemplate a lot of words!
