The US and Iran have obviously not been at war for 47 years, as regime propagandists tell us. What has been going on for 47 years is the Saudi-Iranian regional proxy war. So the propaganda defines us as a Saudi proxy state.

remember the Mystery Fluid running through the gutters of Palo Alto from Tesla's headquarters?

@plainsite.org got the logs, it was tracer dyed water from a data center that the city spent 8 hours cleaning up

This is Button. His family decided he was ready to be left home alone for the first time today. As it turns out, freedom can be a little awkward. 12/10 (TT: beginningwithbutton)

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?

We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

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.

NEW: ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients.

@propublica.org ’s series on vouchers in southern states has been a particular object of McMahon, DeVos & above all Heritage hatred.

Here’s an example of that reporting on former segregation academies getting taxpayer cash, with a couple comments from yours truly

Everyone should read Trump’s long word salad quoted in full by @hcrichardson.bsky.social when he was asked why the government has not been able to help get Americans out of the war zone.

Joe Biden was forced out of the presidency for less.

They’ve already seeded the next few generations.

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

The problem with Trump is you don't know if he's having a stroke, tired, dying, or all three.

Trump: "Elecshake-- uuhsayuhr electric bills will actually come down"

Heater with giant, expressive eyeballs, peering into a bathtub with her little white paws on the lip of the tub. Her body is roughly the size of a shampoo bottle.

I can't get over this picture of Heater. Every time @katmabu.bsky.social takes a bath, she acts like she's witnessing the Hindenburg explosion for the first time. This cat is SIX years old. Pixar-ass cat. I love her so much.

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “ille...

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover.

Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders' revenge tour against 2 Republican state senators who refused to indulge her Barbie dream prison goes down in flames. Double-digit wins for both senators she tried to oust, including Bryan King, who's made it his life's work to be a thorn in her side.

Wow, the Dem primary turnout among Hispanic voters in Texas is going to be giving the GOP sweats for the next 8 months.

Take Zapata County - turnout in the Dem primary there yesterday was 143% the total number of votes Harris won in the 2024 general election. That's wild.

Accountability Commission hears shocking testimony about ICE in Illinois The commission, tasked by Gov. JB Pritzker to investigate alleged misconduct by federal agents amid the Trump administration’s ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ campaign.

Despite the lies the President and his administration want to tell, you can see and hear what happened for yourself when ICE ran rogue in our state.

No one is above the law — the Illinois Accountability Commission will hold them responsible.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Big week for Military Industrial Complex executives and investors. Lots of people about to make a lot of money off American taxpayers from Trump’s Iran War.

Pete Hegseth suggested this morning that reporting on the 6 U.S. service members who were killed in Trump's Iran war is an example of the news media 'trying to make Trump look bad.'

Everything is about Trump. Truly pathetic. What a betrayal of the men and women of U.S. military by the senators who voted to confirm this clown as Sec Def.

A map showing casualties. Iran – killed: 1,045, injured: hundreds Israel – killed: 11, injured: hundreds US soldiers – killed: 6, injured: 18 Bahrain – killed: 1, injured: 4 Iraq – killed: 2, injured: 5 Jordan – killed: 0, injured: 5 Kuwait – killed: 4, injured: 35 Lebanon – killed: 50 injured: 335 Oman – killed: 1, injured: 5 Qatar – killed: 0, injured: 16 Saudi Arabia – killed: 0, injured: 0 United Arab Emirates – killed: 3, injured: 68

Al Jazeera has a useful tracker of who is getting killed and injured.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Idiocracy, Part II

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

Interesting detail here: the Trump Administration flew Jay Footlik, the lobbyist behind Israel's Qatargate scandal, back to the USA on a private jet. Seems he was in Qatar.

Hegseth is like an empty vessel who's spent his whole life acting like what he thinks a human being is & does. Now he's having to act like what he thinks a Sec Def is & does, and to do that he's following some imaginary script in his head of what turns out to be a very badly written cheesy war epic.

Are you effing kidding me? DOJ has no control or power over state bar licensing.
