And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I’m not telling anyone how to protest but I am saying the optics of the police and marines being violent against protestors decked out in red white and blue waving American flags would be undeniably bad…

jourdain searles @judysquirrels I'll vote for whoever will come at the republicans like kendrick went for drake. i'm not joking either. give me that energy or shut up. don't email me. don't text me. don't ask me for anything.

This is it. This is the take.

If only there were a solidly built symbol to memorialize the reality of January 6th

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

Morons Who Voted For Tariffs Now Angry About Tariffs Dear Humans,

Starting today, Donold’s idiotic 25% tariff hike on imports from Canada and Mexico (and 10% on China) is set to make life more expensive for every American. Even his own voters are furious over what they voted for. Let’s break down this economic self-own.

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.

Imagine if
-prosecutors who brought cases against Hunter Biden were purged
-Soros employees took control of govt. payment and personnel systems
-Executive order redefined 2nd Amendment by fiat
-Every violent crime during a BLM protest was pardoned
-People paid Biden millions for favorable treatment

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

This is a test of the shield laws in an attempt to make states that believe in health care comply with Christian Nationalist values. I have news for them: we will not.

Absolutely worth your time to read this

Regulations exist to protect what cannot protect itself!

Trans kids are not a bargaining chip. Being trans isn’t a culture war. Not giving an inch in my support for trans and nonbinary people of all ages to live freely and openly, and neither should you. Gender is what we make of it, and that’s what they’re afraid of.

This is my new mantra.

Alexander Smirnov, the former FBI informant who falsely accused President Biden and his son Hunter of taking a $10 million bribe from Ukraine, was sentenced to six years in prison today. After Smirnov was changed with lying about the bribe, he admitted the information came from Russian officials.

Wildfire climate connection Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last ...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

But that very last paragraph about MAGA wanting a national #abortion ban because women’s healthcare should also “address the needs of men, families and communities.”

We knew Project 2025 was coming but holy shit - I barfed a little reading that.

Trump finally admits his biggest promise is B.S.; World leaders mock Trump and post it on social media; The GOP's fake informant goes down in flames; and the oligarchy assembles as Americans get fed up. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT! 👇

So Luigi Mangione could just run for president and have the charges dropped if he wins, is that how it works?

Uniforms of Syrian soldiers from the dictator Bashar al-Assad’s army, abandoned as they fled Damascus. A historic image marking the end of the dictator and his army.

Can confirm.

Assad fell & Syria is liberated because of sustained resistance by Syrian opposition forces joined by American/Biden backed Kurds, Iran’s losing the middle east, and 1000 US service people on the ground. Trump (and his incoming incompetent “intelligence” heads) had ZERO to do with it.

This is art.

This is your daily reminder that this really did happen.

When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.

When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.

And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.

Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.
