Sounds like one of the Chipmunks.

FBI chief shown in raucous locker room celebration during Olympics trip During what his agency said was purely a business trip, FBI Director Kash Patel celebrated with the U.S. men’s hockey team in Italy on Sunday.

"Eight former FBI and Justice Department officials sent MS NOW a copy of the video, which they said was drawing outrage as it rocketed around FBI and DOJ circles. " by @carolleonnig.bsky.social + @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social for @ms.now

A 21-year-old Moroccan woman was beaten by her family when they found out she was a lesbian. She sought asylum in the US & Trump tried to deport her to Cameroon, where homosexuality is illegal.

Sometimes we get distracted by how incompetent our country has gotten, we forget how evil it has gotten.

This is incredibly blunt antisemitism, obviously, but it's worth pointing out that the core of it—that Jews are not "true" Jews or are perhaps even fake—is maybe second most common antisemitic belief in America and has been rapidly spreading across the left for quite a while.

Insight — Trump recently invested millions in Netflix stock — word is Netflix stock will grow exponentially should deal NOT go through, so there ya go, he’s just lining up excuse to profit and grift when he trashes deal

Mr. Patel's aides downplayed the fun-and-games aspect of his visit to Italy when news broke of his trip a few days ago. They said it was a coincidence that the Games overlapped with security consultations he had planned months ago with European counterparts. The core purposes of the trip, Mr. Patel's spokesman said, were to meet with Italian law enforcement off cials and with Tilman Fertitta, the U.S. ambassador to Italy, and to oversee the F.B.I.'s involvement in Olympic security

Patel’s aides said he had to go to Italy to review security for the Olympic Games.

(That would be the Olympic Games that are just ending now.)

What Mamdani does so well is bring joy to politics. It’s really powerful. People like joy, and are really desperate for it in a time that is otherwise quite grim.

"Mr. Trump discussed plans for strikes on Iran in the White House Situation Room on Wednesday. The meeting included Vice President JD Vance; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the C.I.A. director, John Ratcliffe; and Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff."

As a President credibly hypothesized to be suffering from cognitive decline prepares to propel the US into another war of choice, I can't imagine why this tally of advisors does not fill me with confidence:

Post on X by @ln_sitecore (Lars Fløe Nielsen) Here’s what happened: Danish coast guard evacuated a sick sailor from a US sub to Nuuk. He is being treated in Greenland (by its free healthcare system). In Grandpa’s dementia ridden mind this is something that only the fantastic Governor of Louisiana can fix with a boat. After all, Louisianians have great experience with arctic conditions. Since both US hospital ships is under repair, one even in dry dock, a river boat is being refitted in all haste.

Here is the inside scoop on the hospital boat Trump posted about

but we can't afford universal health care and housing for all.

Absolutely gutted by this @ahylton26.bsky.social interview with a first grader who was left home alone for hours last month after ICE arrested her father outside their apartment.

The people running the country are evil misanthropes.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

Obama made a deal w/ Iran to stop them from getting nukes, but Trump backed out of it bcuz he wanted to own Obama

For a year, Iran kept following the deal anyway, begging Trump to change his mind. Iran then began work on nukes again

Now Trump is threatening to attack Iran bcuz “diplomacy failed”

We haven’t forgotten and we will continue to call ICE out for their ratchet behavior against immigrants and AMERICAN citizens!!

A rare trip east today to see the Hawfinches at Rhiwderin. Great views after a short wait including a group of 7 high up in the trees. Loads of Greenfinches, Chaffinches and Siskins present also. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birdsSeenIn2026 #birds

*deep sigh* America refuses to learn and change thus why all of this.

What is Trump going to sell to the country in the State of the Union on Tuesday? Tariffs, ICE, and a slower economy?

Let's look at some data. First, the tariffs are wildly unpopular. 1/

Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill reacts to Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s claim that Gaza “could have been Singapore, but Hamas turned it into Haiti,” and that Israel should be entitled to reparations for the genocide it is carrying out in Gaza.

Equating Hamas with ISIS is “an epic lie” used to dehumanize...

Varad Mehta ‹ @varadmehta X.com John Roberts upholding Barack Obama's signature policy achievement but striking down Donald Trump's is the kind of thing that gets remembered. And not, I imagine, in any way that over the long term will be good for the Supreme Court.

I try to avoid petty insults. But anyone who equates a new federal statute duly enacted through bicameralism and present pursuant to Article I, Section 7 (Obamacare) with an executive order that unilaterally implements a president’s whims with no congressional input (IEEPA tariffs) is an idiot.

Just a New York Times reporter asking Jeffrey Epstein in September 2016: "If you knew Trump was going to win, how would you position your portfolio?"👀

Trump says he’s sending a “great hospital boat” to Greenland to help “the many people who are sick”, but the catch is that the only supplies it is carrying are ivermectin, beef tallow, and pull up bars.

One of the greatest bollard walks in history.
