The reason we have β€œstupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.

Cosplay Noem has been handed her walking papers and is taking her costumes and skedaddling off with her paramour.

And, because we live in the stupidest timeline, MarkWayne the Plumber is being tapped to replace her. πŸ™„

Fetterman says Trump had no choice, he had to do something to distract from the Epstein files!

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post β€” plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us.

Pay attention.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Christian Nationalists are treating the Epstein files like they treat their Bibles and our Constitution: They are *ignoring* them.

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

This is how CBS Evening News depicted data showing that less than 14% of ICE arrests involved those accused or convicted of violent crimes, and less than 2% had homicide or sexual assault charges or convictions.

Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

one thing that comes across in these clips is that bondi is totally out of her depth. just an absolute lightweight. barely sentient.

Hey, Propaganda Barbie:

We aren’t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up.

Ever.

Hard to overstate how big a loss Rumeysa Ozturk’s case is for the Trump admin. Immigration court is an extension of the executive. It’s very hard for them to lose there.

Here she is being arrested by men in plainclothes. Over an op-ed. Still disturbs me.

It’s only called a concentration camp if it comes from the Auschwitz region of Poland; otherwise it’s a sparkling detention center.
