Reminds me of the 6th grader who’s running for student body president and promises lemonade in all the drinking fountains.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

Whoever leaked the Witkoff surrender negotiations transcripts, please do unredacted Epstein Files next.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chastised Sen. Mark Kelly for incorrectly displaying his military uniform medals, not comprehending that photographs reverse images from left to right. Here’s what that says about Joe Biden’s cognitive state.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

β€œOur American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.

That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

Yes, the same guy who blamed disease-infested, immigrant-smuggled cows for high beef prices. He’s definitely my go-to guy in understanding everything.

I'm wondering if Kegseth is hell-bent on going after Mark Kelly because he outranked him. Small men do that kind of thing.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

We just need Bill Clinton to give a statement with a non-denial denial about Trump to really ratchet up this thing.

Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.

Reporter: Was it your brain?

Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

Surely some 30 year FBI veteran that Patel fired for not thinking his girlfriend sings pretty knows what Trump is so afraid of in the Epstein files. There’s got to be a Mark Felt out there somewhere.

Just a reminder that β€” in the middle of a shutdown β€” House Republicans are on a paid vacation solely to avoid releasing the Epstein files and lowering your health care costs.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked.

By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

The world is full of young men who lived dissolute lives, who think as they approach middle age, that ideological rigidity and moral posturing are the path back to self-respect and redemption.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons to believe that Donald Trump is a fool.

But the fact that it took almost a decade for him to figure out that Putin has been playing him for one is as good as any.

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

West Point grads got some rambling advice today on selecting a trophy wife after their second divorce from a draft dodger in a red campaign hat before he hauled ass to play golf.
