“This what happens when you hire dog killers, drunks and podcasters into your regime.”

Fox host says he 'hasn't washed hands in 10 years' Harvard and Princeton graduate Pete Hegseth says germs don't exist because he can't see them.

Just a quick reminder that Pete Hegseth was also the Fox News host who said he never washes his hands, because he doesn't believe in micro organisms as he can't see them. Of course we're all fucked

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

A shortage of large passenger charter planes due to DHS paying 10x the usual rates to ferry kidnapped migrants is threatening NCAA Tournament travel plans

The reason why some people think the New York Times is a liberal paper is because in like 1986 a far right wing talk radio simpleton called the New York Times a liberal paper. Most American political thought is based on scenarios like this

A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her

Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship.

She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead.

Boyfriend opened fire on her car

We aren’t angry enough.

What was the purpose of this? Were they issued before or after the parades were canceled?

It's always "preemptive strike" and never "preemptive universal health care."

The corrupt jerk who’s led our state senate into the toilet for the last 15 years is getting primaried tomorrow and I cannot wait for the ad w/a bunch of Duck Dynasty wannabe mofos saying how “liberals want the other guy to win that’s why I’m voting for this asshole” to stop before I kick a kitten.

I'm thrilled to announce a new report I wrote with @ksavin.bsky.social and @calliefreitag.bsky.social on the impact of DOGE/Trump 2.0 turmoil on Social Security disability programs.

As the title says, these programs have always been tough to navigate. But in the last year, they've gotten worse.

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first, two people f...

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

The number of fixed-wing aircraft lost in friendly fire incidents today equals the number lost during the entire 20-year span of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11.

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years — since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War.

Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

I have to say the Post chose a hell of a moment to lay off all their foreign correspondents

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

US leaders have warned about an irrational strongman with atomic weapons for decades. Then he ran for president and we gave him the nuclear codes. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-iran...

Virginia redistricting election can move forward, court rules Although Monday’s ruling means the redistricting referendum will take place, it is not the end of the legal saga.

Virginians can begin voting on the measure this Friday, March 6.

I was born in the 50s. We hid under our desks at school during atomic bomb drills. They timed us to see how long it took to walk home. Some wealthy folks built bomb shelters. It was a time of nightmares.

Supposedly a few times when Nixon was particularly blotto, Secretary of State Gen Alexander Haig sent out confidential memos to key military not to act on any unusual orders from the President without confirming with him first.

The survival of civilization for the last 50+ years owes more than we'd like to admit to random luck, for example that Nixon and Brezhnev weren't bad-mood drunk at the same time.

1973 here. When I hear the pre-1997 Emergency Broadcast System tone in an old TV show or movie, I still feel a momentary shiver of fear run up my spine.

I credit a childhood where we were constantly told that that sound could mean we had 30 minutes or less to live.

I was born in 1974; same.
I can recall many summer evenings watching the sun set behind the trees and houses across the street, picturing a mushroom cloud in the sky.

The thought of war was distressing; and now many more children are getting real violence lobbed their way by the USA's mad king.

Spent my youth alternating major US port with military bases and Central America, contemplating where I'd be when It Happened. Quick death would be merciful; watching the end of civilization and dying out of humanity would be horrible, but sorta interesting.

One of my friends had a fallout shelter in the back yard and a 'fun' game we played was at any moment, someone could yell "bomb!" and we would see how quickly we could make it to the shelter from anywhere else in the neighborhood.
