So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Trump on terrorist attacks in America: β€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

God Launches New YouTube Channel! On the same day Kristi Noem got fired, how about that?

Thou shalt arrest Kristi Noem and put her in a detention center indefinitely so she can β€œawait processing.”

Why the jubilation? He's given her a cushy position and her side-piece is going with her. They'll rewrite history, are in fact already doing so. "The golden age of travel." He will probably protect her from further questions and pardon any crimes. And he's replaced her with equal crap. 😑

Kristi Noem claiming she "ushered in the golden age of travel" is a perfect example of how MAGA is assaulting the plain meaning of words

VoteVets senior advisor Max Rose says troops in the Middle East are now in a combat zone and their lives are in danger because the president is waging war. By bypassing Congress, vital questions on defense weren't asked, and tragically, service members already lost their lives.

I'm so fucking sick of the corruption in DC.
Trump didn't drain the swamp.
He filled it to the brim with swamp creatures just like himself.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

On behalf of Brian’s family, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support, messages, and contributions over the last 24 hours.

At this time, our priority is Brian’s wellbeing. We are taking a necessary step back from the public eye to allow him to focus fully on his recovery in private. While he looks forward to engaging with you all again very soon, his health and his family remain the current priorities.

And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in. It’s only made me more determined. Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.

A Ben Ryan tweet: 

β€œObviously, I have an alt account, so this venture is pointless. People who make wildly false statements in public and who threaten journalists with violence should not be surprised when their words get broadcast and subject to fact checking.”

If you’re concerned that Benjamin Ryan won’t see your posts because you’ve blocked him, don’t worry, he’s over here name searching.

Just so he can protect himself against the meanies.

And the substantive critiques of his work.

Sen. Blumenthal has written a letter to Kristi Noem about her denial that Corey Lewandowski has a role in approving contracts at DHS.

"I demand that you amend your testimony" and "provide the basis for your apparent false statement on the record."

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

For the last few days the President of the USA and the White House communications team have been active agents of Russian influence, spreading the Putin narrative and trying to undermine democracy.

One reason that people are overlooking when they try to figure out why Trump started this war: Because he could. Trump is a child, and he has a bunch of toy soldiers. He wants to make them fight before they're taken away in 2029. Don't give him credit for thinking beyond "I can do war so I will."

Chevron's hometown paper is quiet on climate. Guess who owns it? The Richmond Standard has little to say about the gas flares, haze, and smoke plumes that shape life in its California community.
