Black background with the text of a tweet from the Department of Defense. The all capital text says, "OPERATION EPIC FURY." The word EPIC has a red line through it and the word, "Epstein" in red above it.

So, bombing children isn't evil? Good lord, just resign.

Trump not only rapes children, he bombs them.

Welp, it looks like Republicans got us into another forever war in the Middle East so the Trumpstein class doesn’t go to jail.

Dude, you can’t even get rid of that feckless AIPAC fellating Schumer. Why should we believe the Dems have the balls to do anything meaningful when actually in charge?

This doesn’t account for all the follow on layoffs in other sectors, like my hubby.

There’s definitely something poetic about the US Women’s hockey team having dinner with Stanley Tucci in Italy & partying with Flavor Flav in Vegas while the men’s team eats burgers with half the Epstein List.

Will watch the replay of the Colbert live coverage. It will be far more entertaining.

And we are seeing a similar version of this in the United States right now.

Research by @chenoweth.bsky.social and the Crowd Counting Consortium suggests that the perception of democratic threat, from Trump's power grabs and ICE, have played a critical role in motivating a mass resistance movement

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.

I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong β€”Β in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

So, there was only a concept of a safety plan for Americans in case there was retaliation by the cartels? Fucking imbeciles. This is what we get from a government led by macho macho men waving their dicks around. It should have come as no surprise, if we had a functioning intelligence service.

Can we just yeet these broligarchs into space? I'd pitch in a $20 to fund their one-way colonization of Mars.

Howard Lutnick, US Commerce Secretary and architect of Trump's tariff plans, stepped down from Cantor Fitzgerald (now run by his sons) before taking office. Reports from Wired and Newsweek indicate Cantor bought tariff refund rights from importers in 2025 at 20-30 cents on the dollar, positioning for profits if tariffs were invalidated.

Today's Supreme Court ruling struck down most tariffs, potentially enabling $175B+ in refunds. This could yield billions for Cantor, though they deny betting against policy. A Senate probe examines conflicts.

Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trump’s tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work.

Lutnik and his bank now stand to make billions.
