Third time’s a charm!

Just like there USED TO BE prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insisted it was always “too soon” to “get political” about the latest mass shooting.

We beat the shit out of that.

White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

On the patently unlawful boat strikes

It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.

She’s finally effective!

I knew she had a manifesto in her.

I hope @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is proud of how he beclowned himself earlier on that socialism resolution.

He’s just not that into her.

I really, really strongly encourage you to watch Aaron's clips of the Trump-Mamdani meeting, not just read his recaps.

This is a totally different Trump than we ever normally see. It's wild to see him like this—and Mamdani is the one who brought it out in him. There's a lesson here.

We’ve been saying we need a fighter. But sometimes you just need a fellow snacker.

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

Leavitt, tomorrow: “The President was sitting.”

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner

Remember: the only way to save New York City from Donald Trump’s wrath is electing Andrew Cuomo.

What time is it? Are swastikas ok, or bad now?

A tv screen. Zohran Mamdani stands above Trump, looking down on him in the Oval Office

Guys...

Remember when we all thought that Mitt Romney was such a Richie Rich that he couldn’t possibly understand what regular life was about? Well, Glenn Youngkin is twice as rich as Mitt.

And yet his entire net worth is what Jeff Bezos spent on his boat.

It’s interesting that he’s not happy just to have several hundred million dollars at nearly age 60, and just be happy with that.

He wants to sign up for an extra shift helping Donald Trump hurt people.

It hurts my back to watch him.

And how do you get so low on that guy?

This seems like a crazy important story that is getting very little coverage here - especially if it destabilizes the regime

Is the brain worm homeless?

It rocks that the online voice of the US government is "computer-damaged reactionary virgin."

American colonists were majority English-speakers. Something, something, revolution anyway. I’m not even sure what I just argued for.

While they’re at it, can they parse whether or not Noah’s ark was real?
