McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

The kind of headline that used to be career or even administration ending.

The Pro-Human AI Declaration The Pro-Human AI Declaration

Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this "declaration" means nothing. Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead. So if you can sign along side him? At best, you got played. He's the "humanity in control". humanstatement.org

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Wow! Some guys have all the luck! This Polymarket trader predicted Venzuela, Maduro, US striking Iran, Israel striking Iran, US striking Iraq, Khamenei, and cartel strikes.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Trump’s War With Iran Is Also a Climate War Fossil fuels are structurally embedded in modern warfare.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Doggos of the world unite, you have only your leashes to lose.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Look at these cuties.

Sprawling investigation finds decades of sexual abuse among Catholic priests in Rhode Island The investigation found that 75 Catholic clergy molested more than 300 victims since 1950, but officials said the number of victimized children and abusive priests is likely much higher.

Catholic priests in Rhode Island preyed on hundreds of children for decades, and were protected by bishops more concerned with the church’s reputation than the victims, according to a new report on clergy sexual abuse.

“I oppose the war but I voted to fund it because I had no choice” will be the talking point of too many.

Florence ICE detainee dead after untreated tooth infection, official says An ICE detainee, who had been at a Florence detention center for four months, died Monday following an untreated tooth infection.

This is horrifically cruel. “A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months at Florence Correctional Center died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth, a local official in Chandler said Tuesday.” An excruciating and wholly preventable death. No words are adequate.

A little cold. These apps prey on the vulnerable. I suspect many of us, if we don't just say no immediately, would be susceptible.

House kills effort to release all congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., had forced the vote in light of allegations that her Republican colleague, Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas, sent sexual text messages to a subordinate.

Republican candidate charged with assault after 'body-slamming' Guardian reporter Audio of Greg Gianforte attacking Ben Jacobs corroborated by Fox News journalists in the room, who described candidate ‘slamming him to the ground’

Jesus Christ. Not surprising behavior from a Montana politician. Our governor, Greg Gianforte, was charged with assault after body slamming a reporter from The Guardian for asking about healthcare.

was that Sheehy who said "thank you for your service?" as he was assaulting him?

Part 2, with more from the veteran. Please note that security is perp walking the Marine out of the hearing WITH HIS BROKEN ARM TWISTED BEHIND HIS BACK.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then being injured at home, on purpose, by a sitting Senator while exercising your constitutionally-protected rights.

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

My god. This will happen more and more as the systems "improve," and as capitalism continues to degrade our communities and relationships.
