I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters β€” the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. β€” are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Friday, 27 people died in tornados that went unwarned or late warned. Sirens could’ve sounded sooner.

But while the worst tornados of the season were raging, the weather service didn’t have a severe forecaster readily available at the nearest office. The reason? Unconstitutional DOGE layoffs.

At this point, I’m starting to get a little offended that I haven’t been invited to the war plans group chats…

Everyone else is? πŸ’₯

Asking Americans to pick a single issue between economy shattering tariffs and disappearing people into government vans is so obviously dumb and limiting.

They’re both bad and are very easily connected under one message: tyrannical overreach.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Governor Walz is simply the thoughtful and genuine elected I’ve ever met on the campaign trail.

Ohio was proud to welcome him to the Buckeye State and make sure he ate some cake for his birthday πŸŽ‚

WASHINGTON β€” President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was β€œnot joking.”

β€œA lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies. β€œBut, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

I have said since Trump starting laying the groundwork for the Big Lie in the first part of 2020 that he would not leave office willingly. I have been correct so far. And I'm telling you again he will not leave office willingly. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I found a β€˜dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle β€œDead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest fat cat in the world saved the taxpayers $5k by yanking back Social Security funds from a dead person. So what’s the problem?

The person wasn’t dead, wasn’t cheating, and has now been stolen from by an unelected South African elitist baron.

I’m going to take this a step further: If you vote no on cloture, but do not publicly call for Schumer’s resignation, sit down until you have something worthwhile to say.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

3 year ago, Russia invaded Ukraine in a war of imperialism.

To this day, one of the most disturbing acts I’ve ever known is the theater full of families in Mariupol, Ukraine. After seeing a giant warning written in Russian spelling β€œCHILDREN,” Russian military officials leveled it, anyhow.
