I don’t even have words for this.

One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

This Is What Evil People Do….

The President of the United States was ordered by the court to feed starving kids and he’s fighting it. Let that sink in.

The Senate has defeated an effort by Democrats to force a war powers vote on the U.S. military buildup re: Venezuela. Sen. Rand Paul R-KY & Sen. Lisa Murkowski R-AK were the only two GOP Senators to break ranks.

The man who ended USAID is the world's first trillionaire

short version: HGH and streamlined defense contracting

especially since the people of California voted for it, where in Texas it was imposed from the top down

There’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that ICE deported a man in a persistent vegetative state

Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline

He died shortly after being deported to Cuba

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

This delusional admin: “Everything will be fixed in 2026”

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Trump has now overseen the two longest government shutdowns in history — with the current one reaching 36 days.

He ran on fixing a broken system and helping working people.

Instead, he’s making the system even worse and shafting working people by gutting the social safety net.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Guys, it’s the president
He’s a demented sociopath
You can only pretend for so long

the thing about con men is...they also lie to themselves

Exodus 22:21 "You must not wrong a resident foreigner nor oppress him, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. Exodus 23:9 "You must not oppress a resident foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. Leviticus 19:33 When a resident foreigner lives with you in your land, you must not oppress him. Leviticus 19:34 The resident foreigner who lives with you must be to you as a native citizen among you; so you must love the foreigner as yourself, because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 23:22 When you gather in the harvest of your land, you must not completely harvest the corner of your field, and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and the resident foreigner. I am the Lord your God." Leviticus 24:22 There will be one regulation for you, whether a resident foreigner or a native citizen, for I am the Lord your God.'" Numbers 15:15 One statute must apply to you who belong to the congregation and to the resident foreigner who is living among you, as a permanent statute for your future generations. You and the resident foreigner will be alike before the Lord. Numbers 15:16 One law and one custom must apply to you and to the resident foreigner who lives alongside you." Deuteronomy 10:19 So you must love the resident foreigner because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. Deuteronomy 24:14 You must not oppress a lowly and poor servant, whether one from among your fellow Israelites or from the resident foreigners who are living in your land and villages. Deuteronomy 24:17 You must not pervert justice due a resident foreigner or an orphan, or take a widow's garment as security for a loan. Deuteronomy 27:19 'Cursed is the one who perverts justice for the resident foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.'

Psalms 146:9 The Lord protects the resident foreigner. He lifts up the fatherless and the widow, but he opposes the wicked.  Jeremiah 7:6 Stop oppressing resident foreigners who live in your land, children who have lost their fathers, and women who have lost their husbands. Stop killing innocent people in this land. Stop paying allegiance to other gods. That will only bring about your ruin. Ezekiel 22:6-7 “‘See how each of the princes of Israel living within you has used his authority to shed blood. They have treated father and mother with contempt within you; they have oppressed the resident foreigner among you; they have wronged the orphan and the widow within you. Malachi 3:5 “I will come to you in judgment. I will be quick to testify against those who practice divination; those who commit adultery; those who break promises; and those who exploit workers, widows, and orphans, who refuse to help the resident foreigner and in this way show they do not fear me,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

WOAH. Texas GOP Executive Director Jen Hall and another top party official just resigned. In her letter to party Chair Abraham George, Hall said she "cannot in good conscience continue to work this way" but doesn't elaborate. Hall and George are both longtime Tim Dunn allies. This is...interesting.

The Dilemma of Duty Under Trump What his assault on the U.S. military means for America.

“The Trump administration wasted no time stamping the MAGA brand on the U.S. armed forces.” Read @maxboot.bsky.social on how Trump and Hegseth are rolling back military professionalism and politicizing the armed forces:

There's some really big caveats to this. A thread.

This is not the post I thought I'd be writing today but as of this morning my position has been eliminated and I was laid off from the National Audubon Society so if you're looking for someone who has a lot of experience writing to help make the world a better place: hi.

Throughout my career I have fought to protect users, help orgs understand how attackers think, and build defenses that stop them.
If your team wants someone who can speak fluently in hacker circles and in boardroom, will call out nonsense and knows how to make security actually work
We should talk.

Whoever said he's a poor person's idea of a rich person hit the bullseye and has never missed since

This is a great picture of this admin's approach – free speech, money, planes, ballrooms, use of illegitimate force for me. Everyone else can shut up.

keep telling yourself that, I'm sure it will go great

One of the wildest aspects of covering global politics over the past ~20 yrs is all the raging debates over how to protect the US-built global order from being reconfigured or replaced by China, and in the end the US just decided to walk away from it altogether.

Murdering Venezuelan boaters for Jesus

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.
