"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

As a fashion historian, I will die on this hill: the point of having blue hair and nose rings (or spiky nails or stripper heels or tattoos or an all-black wardrobe) is not to look pretty or cool. It's to look (and feel) powerful--something many young American women crave right now. And it's working.

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, flanked by Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, get loudly booed in Tel Aviv, Israel as they praise Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

$47. And thatโ€™s if the government isnโ€™t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: โ€œTheyโ€™re stealing your jobs.โ€

If that were true, why arenโ€™t Americans lining up to take those so-called โ€œstolenโ€ jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

When Obama was president the right wing acted like masked government agents were coming to kidnap them and take all their rights away.

Then Republicans get elected and actually do that shit for real.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

Americaโ€™s children deserve better than this.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Guardian story - Tony Blair Tony Blair met Jeffrey Epstein in No 10 on advice of Peter Mandelson, documents reveal National Archives papers show how then MP pushed for 2002 meeting between PM and 'young and vibrant' financier

What horrifies me about this is that it is highly unlikely intelligence services etc didnโ€™t know about Epsteinโ€™s activities long before this which means that child abuse is just something to turn a blind eye to (see also Cyril Smith, Al Fayed etc etc)
