Block aid and weapons transfers to Israel for one month for each kid who starves to death in Gaza and you'll see how fast they can distribute aid.

They haven't figured out how to stop it from declaring itself "Mechahitler" yet. This should end well.

Exclusive | Andrew Cuomo says he β€˜will move to Florida’ if Zohran Mamdani becomes NYC mayor Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday he’ll pack and bags and flee south to Florida if he loses the NYC mayoral race to socialist Zohran Mamdani.

I think they call that the cherry on top.

Starting to think this Trump guy might be kind of a creep.

No one is ready for the tsunami of unkillable conspiracy theories that will spread when Trump's heart finally pops.

Trump Was Attempting to Block Publication of Embarrassing WSJ Jeffrey Epstein Story The White House attempted to block the publication of a WSJ article about Donald Trump's suggestive letter to Jeffrey Epstein by threatening legal action.

It's like Trump wakes up every morning wondering what the most suspicious ass thing he can do is. variety.com/2025/politic...

With so many things going on in the world, I'm a little bit surprised he'd make up a wild ass story like that.

Steve Bannon suggests that a special counsel will be named within days to look at Crossfire Hurricane, the 2020 election, January 6, and more

It helps that it's been the most incompetent cover up with the worst, most transparently insulting messaging in living memory.

Telling millions of people that the thing they care about more than literally anything else in the world is "boring" seems like a poor strategy on its face?

Coming out of this weekend I now think there's a non-zero chance Trump releases Ghislaine Maxwell and gives her a job in his administration

Trump Lashes Out at β€˜Evil Person’ Who Asked About Flood Victims Upset Over Late Warnings "Only a bad person would ask a question like that, to be honest with you. I don't know who you are, but only a very evil person would ask a question like that"

The most interesting thing about Trump saying he'll take over governance of DC is that he's transparently covering up the content of the Epstein files.

A government that can use the constant threat of funding being pulled to enforce "anti woke" policies can easily become a government that uses that same threat to enforce whatever woke shit they want.

Is there any more insidious myth in recent American politics than the idea that Trump and MAGA are deporting the "worst of the worst?"

The Supreme Court just disarmed right wing judges' ability to strike down executive orders passed by any future progressive president.

So bring back the student debt cancellation. Bring on the Green New Deal. Bring on police oversight. Bring on gun safety rules. Bring it all on.
