Yes, he was swearing in new servicemembers. At a professional-football game.
Presumably someone thought this would work, as a public-relations stunt.
But no, the booing was thunderous.
So the swearing-in was ruined. #ETTD

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The “Bootstraps” idiom was originally meant to refer to the literally impossible. It was co-opted.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

They did it because they were hoping he wouldn’t be booed if he was swearing in the military

It’s their Salute to Service game so this 5x draft dodger is admitting the oath to new recruits. Shameful.

Trump getting booed at the Commanders game

That is literally all I would ever talk about if people would just let me

“‘Using the devil’s own tools against them': Abortion opponents turn to environmental laws *** Several states are trying to curtail abortion medication by claiming mifepristone cld contaminate drinking water.” (Texas Republicans are expanding the strategy to include birth control pills.) 1/30/25 1/

name a better thanksgiving song. i’ll wait…

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

There's so much that's ambiguous and complicated in this life that when sometimes clear and simple, it's important to say so. The AP's reporting shows that these guys are not narco terrorists.

The truth is not "more nuanced," the truth is that none of these people are narco terrorists.

Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

There are a LOT of people who think “the goal of a loan is to get the cheapest monthly payment.” I wager the lack of financial literacy in this country means a lot of people are going to take these. The most popular car loan on the market is a 7-year loan.

I saw the Washington Post editorial on redistricting today and this is my official response.

I wonder if someone on Fox Business did a breakdown of how poorly it went for him, and it broke through the bubble his sycophants and courtesans had put up for him.

If You’re Stuck At An Airport Right Now, It’s Because Trump Fucked You | Defector You picked a bad weekend to fly. Over 1,500 flights in the US were cancelled yesterday, and over 1,200 over them have already been cancelled this morning. One of those may have been yours. You’re stuc...

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

The guy who is tearing down the white house, redoing bathrooms, building a ball room, proposing arches, wants his face on a coin, and is demanding his name be put on a new stadium might be smearing his name on everything because he knows he's weeks or months away from being six feet in the dirt.

Jake Tapper said "No wonder you fuckers are losing*" about Democrats on a podcast. Didn't seem concerned about accusations of bias.

*There was some context, but it was a silly and Trumped up excuse for Tapper to go off.

Part of me is glad Trump is now unconstrained, and is defacing and demeaning everything he touches.

It means that for the next three years we’ll have constant reminders not just of the need to defeat him, but also of the importance of ripping out Trumpism’s poisonous legacy and beginning anew.

While Tens of Millions of People are awaiting SNAP to survive, and Millions are likely to be thrown off of Health Insurance, Trump reportedly wants the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7 billion stadium after him.

In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

A U-Haul container set up as a food pantry.

You can see a decent variety in the pantry, sacks for convenient shopping and an invitation in English and Spanish to take what you need.

Not just food but there are sanitary supplies visible in this pantry.

I passed these two U-Haul box containers in someone's yard and wondered what the heck was going on, and then I realized that someone had set up a pantry. #neighborhoodpantry #feedthehungry #SNAP

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Mirroring the video here if you don't want to even humor going onto Twitter, but when it gets into the "process" section, there's so many red flags of them lying about the work they put into the commercial that reveal how much of this video is them trying and lying after the fact.
