Yeah, we'll see. The FBI doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to identifying the shooter. This could all just be "Oopsie #3."

So all those who are praising and sanctifying Kirk for his commitment to "Free speech" are now threatening and punishing others for exercising that same right? Typical - hypocritical - MAGAt response.

So all those that are praising and sanctifying Kirk for his commitment to "Free speech" are memorializing him by denying that same right to others? Typical hypocritical MAGAt response.

Amy Sherald Cancels Her Smithsonian Show, Citing Censorship

It seems that cowardice, this time on the part of the Smithsonian, is contagious.

Finally, a pro-Trump message I can get behind. But please don't share this widely. Donald would hate that.

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

The blood of 50+ people, including children, in Texas is fully on the hands of Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and we should never let them forget it.

From Sensual Butt Songs to Santa’s Alleged Coke Habit: AI Slop Music Is Getting Harder to Avoid Even listeners who hate the idea of AI music are getting served tracks like “Taste My Ass” and “I Caught Santa Claus Sniffing Cocaine” on Spotify and other streamers.

This is truly disturbing. If AI is now outputting its own music, how long will it be before most, or all, of creative content is developed algorithmically? We need to oppose this now if we value art at all.

American science to soon face its largest brain drain in history Over the first half of 2025, the USA has cut science as never before. This disaster for American science is a gift to the rest of the world.

And this is what happens when your country is run by a bunch of ignorant idiots.

Auschwitz had showers, too, and look how that turned out.

Brain Worm Bobby is going to go down as one of the most notorious mass killers of the 21st Century, and the spineless Republicans who supported him will be entirely to blame.

With strikes on Iran, Trump has chosen a path of insanity It's time to ask: Is a mental condition driving his foreign policy?

This is a great article about TACO Trump's malignant narcissism and how that mental illness drives everything he does, specifically his recent unprovoked and illegal attack on Iran. It's an insightful look at our most cognitively deranged president.

Leave it to Christo-Fascist Greg Abbott...

Great. So now, thanks to the TACO-in-Chief, we can all start looking over our shoulders for the terrorist attacks that are sure to come as reprisals for bombing Iran (for which we are at fault). And what, exactly, was the point?

Isn't that an intentional distress signal, like flying the flag upside down? Is he begging to be rescued?

I'm glad someone from the Reich-wing finally gets the point.

It's very simple: Johnson is a lying sack of sh*t, an embarrassment to this country and to the "religion" he claims to practice.

Go, Canada! Shoe the rest of the world how this loathsome felon deserves to be treated!

It's not a distraction, it's another step towards the imposition of a police state and the creation of an authoritarian/fascist government. Don't minimize this by calling it a "distraction;" it's much more serious than that and we can't lose sight of that fact. Trump wants power, no matter the cost.

What a shock. A Democratic, Hispanic senator roughed up by TACO Trump's Gestapo for daring to question Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem. Just imagine the Reich-wing outrage of those RepubliKKKans who childishly heckled Biden during his SOTU speech (MTG) were treated this way.Not a good look, brown shirts.

I prefer the terms "kidnapping" or "abducting."

I use that one all the time.

I find this hard to take seriously from Vance, the guy who knowingly and deliberately spread vicious, hateful lies about Haitians eating pets in Springfield, OH.

It's time to check in with Star Wars Kid again...

Practicing his slap-fighting for the day he gets involved in a life-or-death brawl with a 12-year-old girl. What a man.

Musk took himself out of the role of "private citizen" when he joined the administration to head up DOGE. not to mention his acceptance of massive government contracts. He is entirely bound up in the fabric of the current fascist regime, and deserves whatever he gets.

I hope they're including Marco Rubio and Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem in this suit. For a party that regularly brags about how much they care about children, RepubliKKKans constantly prove otherwise by their actions.

New federal employees must now write essays praising Trump's policies A new "merit hiring plan" from the Office of Personnel Management asks candidates how they will advance Trump's policy agenda.

The authoritarian regime advances. This is one small step away from a loyalty oath in which government employees will have to swear fealty not to the country, not to the Constitution, but to TACO Trump himself. Democracy is doomed.

But it's OK to starve it, to rape it, and to arbitrarily dismantle its government in order to eliminate all the federal entities investigating him? All Elon wants is to line his own pockets, nothing else. He couldn't care less about America.

What would the Ketamine Kid know about "the 80% in the middle?" He was born a rich, privileged, entitled white child, and has become the leader of the oligarch class. He knows as much about "the 80% in the middle" as I know about life on Neptune.

Exactly.
