It’s why Latin America taught the world Gringo. As a child I heard it shouted out often in my childhood - green GO!! Gringo!

I thought they said it’s not a war, is it one now? 🙄

Omg! I’d never seen a list of your luminaries. That’s a pretty gruesome bunch. What’s with Ohio?

Has Burchett even offered to look into this obviously fraudulent contract? He’s a tRump lickspittle and thus far has only shown an interest in throwing out falsehoods to “own the libs”. It’d be surprising if he woke up to the fraud bc it’s R fraud.

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

As old as him and that’s enough already.

VP Harris “I predicted a lot about what’s happening right now. I’m not here to tell you, I told you so, but we did see it coming. But what I did not predict is that we would not have Jesse Jackson with us right now to help us get through this.”

See what you did there. 👍🏼

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

This is going to get war-a-lago pissed. Great. 👍🏼

Leavitt says it will be "unconditional surrender" even if no one unconditionally surrenders.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

Just don’t buy Elmo’s cars.

Sen Markwayne, on Renee Good: "She interfered with ICE enforcement. if you don't want to put yourself in harm's way, don't put yourself in a position like that"

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been for decades trying to drag the U.S. into war with Iran. Senator Van Hollen yesterday said he just hadn’t found a president stupid enough to be dragged into that war."

Millions left without power after major blackout hits Cuba's western region A blackout has left millions of people without power in Havana and the rest of western Cuba in the latest outage on an island struggling with dwindling oil reserves and a crumbling electric grid.

Trump and Rubio are doubling down on a failed, decades-long maximum pressure campaign in Cuba that only worsens the suffering and oppression of everyday Cubans, while doing nothing to foster change on the island.

Cruel, collective punishment.

Typical statement from the arrogant, smug, smirk guy who lies. He is the last person anyone could trust with honest economic analysis + he’s anger provoking for sure.

One step forward, two backwards.
