Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss The evident fact is that the president is nuts.

"It’s a frightening reality of the Trump regime that, as he's descended into utter incoherence & is now nothing more than an assortment of adolescent (& frequently violent) urges, the govt has been remade into a tool for the immediate satisfaction of his desires no matter how nihilistic they may be"

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

We're dealing with a time that will last for however long and do however much untold damage, in which the worst bigots are in power, and siding with them and accommodating their perspective is unforgivably cowardly. It's important to point out who the cowards are so we can remember who they were.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

RFK Jr. is now blocking an updated flu vaccine for NO reason grounded in science.

American vaccine policy has been hijacked by a conspiracy theorist—yet most Republicans are happy to just sit on their hands.

They are allowing FDA policy to be dictated by DELUSION.

Notice that the media is still not covering Gorelick. They act like Merrick Garland is some great mystery. The exact people who refused to cover Garland's cover-up of Epstein for four years are now gasping about Epstein and acting like they didn't know the whole time. As my book says, THEY KNEW.

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files.

What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?

We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

President Trump now says it was Attorney General Pam Bondi who insisted DNI Tulsi Gabbard attend the FBI raid in Georgia. Last night, he told NBC he didn't know why she was there. And Gabbard said in a letter to Congress that "the president specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant."

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

I got all my Nobel Prizes when the previous winner left a little bit of the next one sticking out of the machine and I kept pulling.

The #NobelPeacePrize medal.

It measures 6.6 cm in diameter, weighs 196 grams and is struck in gold. On its face, a portrait of Alfred Nobel and on its reverse, three naked men holding around each other’s shoulders as a sign of brotherhood. A design unchanged for 120 years.

Did you know that some Nobel Peace Prize medals have been passed on after the award was given? A well‑known case is Dmitry Muratov’s medal, which was auctioned for over USD 100 million to support refugees from the war in Ukraine.

And the medal displayed at the Nobel Peace Center is actually on loan and originally belonged to Christian Lous Lange, Norway’s first Peace Prize laureate.

But one truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: “Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.”

A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.

The Nobel Prize museum in Oslo subtweeting the fuck out of Trump today.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

The Hidden Politics of the Crossword Puzzle Take it from me: A crossword clue can be debated with the kind of fervor normally reserved for corporatist propaganda and outright racism.
