Pete Hague-seth seems to think the expression "The Fog of War" is literal. It is not. It is a metaphor, and one that would not excuse executing shipwrecked passengers you can clearly see on your video screen.

It's gold and its shiny and money says Trump says the winners wanted him to have it. My advice to winners: grab it and run.

Never forget what a fucking creep Trump is.

PBS News Hour | Critics concerned over ICE's hiring, training standards | Season 2025 As ICE boosts recruitment, critics concerned over changes to hiring and training standards

ICE’s recruitment drive is raising alarms. @wendyvia.bsky.social warns the campaign is “normalizing extremism, but also warping what it means to protect your country,” and that its message to recruits is clear: “come with us and we’re going to make America different… a violent but white place.”

Vance says antisemitism isn't 'exploding' on the right In an exclusive interview with NBC News, the vice president covered a wide range of topics, including his thoughts on high prices, 2028 and Democrats he appreciates.

"Judging anybody based on their skin color or immutable characteristics, I think, is fundamentally anti-American and anti-Christian,” Vance said. “I do think it’s important to call this stuff out when I see it."

So he told his boss Somalis aren't garbage?

It might be funny coming from a person who does interviews for a living, but these tech guys need to sit down (in this case actually) and shut up. The more they talk, the more we see and what we see is unearned aggrievement and deep insecurity that manifests as exhausting arrogance.

Attorney Siri is now parroting the anti-vax bullshit that vaccine manufacturers can’t be sued because the US government wanted to help their profits.

The actual reason is that bad actors like Mr. Siri filed endless spurious lawsuits that almost led to vaccines no longer being made in the U.S.

BREAKING: Vladimir Putin was asked by Russian reporters if he was afraid of any consequences for ignoring Donald Trump’s latest peace plan revisions that aren’t so one-sided against Ukraine, and Putin and the reporters laughed for 16 seconds.

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

U.S. reinstates all canceled library grants after court order A court ruled that Trump’s effort to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the only federal agency dedicated to funding libraries, was unlawful.
