Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Iowa bill makes disrupting a church service a felony after MN protest Iowa House Republicans said the bill is motivated by an anti-ICE protest at a St. Paul, Minnesota church in January.

I wonder if the Bible has any examples of church being interrupted… maybe someone flipping some tables?

“When President Trump says that Iran is in a place of unconditional surrender, he’s not claiming the Iranian regime is going to come out and say that themselves.” -- Karoline Leavitt

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Tactically, there is a lot to learn from the pro-life movement. They settled for incremental change, took over state legislatures, persisted over decades, emphasized the most popular parts of their agenda, deployed appealing language...

To be clear, whenever fascist republican scum like Karoline Leavitt mention President Obama’s middle name Hussein, it’s not to show respect, it’s for white supremacy purposes and to somehow paint him as complicit with terrorists. Their white hoods are always on display.

From the Iowa community on Reddit: Sitting State Rep called me slurs for supporting oncology over ivermectin Explore this post and more from the Iowa community

I'm very not surprised by this. Rep Shipley just comes off as an uncaring, unrepentant jerk everyday.

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

Kind of strange that in 1993, the president was someone who was born in 1946. And in 2026, the president is someone who was born in 1946.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Good. If your firearm is used by a child because you failed to secure it, that should be on you.

Anthropic’s AI model Claude gets popularity boost after US military feud Claude climbs to top of app store charts in US and UK after being blacklisted by Pentagon over ethics concerns

As I've been saying for days: this feud with Hegseth -- in which Anthropic looks principled, and Claude looks so valuable that the Pentagon can't live without it -- has been terrific marketing for Anthropic www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
