Trump Steps In: Trump, Hegseth, and the Meeting That Could Define America’s Military Future How Trump’s presence reshapes Hegseth’s gamble and forces the military to face a choice of conscience.

Trump wasn’t supposed to be there. Now, the Quantico meeting has become more than discipline or ethos. It is about democracy itself.🔥👇

The man is the Yo-Yo Ma of tasteless vulgarity.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

If you keep chickens, their Atwoods store stocks some good coop bedding you can't find at TSC. Other than that, yeah, step on it.

The Disappearing Bribe: How Tom Homan Slipped the Net The Abscam-style sting that died in the shadows of DOJ politics

This isn’t just Homan’s scandal. It’s a stress test of democracy. Fail this, and we teach every grifter how to win.👇

That might not be worse than the alternative. The UT/OU rivalry could mean ending up with a St. Charlie monument to dwarf the Statue of Liberty after all.

Oklahoma Republicans propose all state colleges must have Charlie Kirk statue Schools would be required to build memorial plaza and describe slain activist as civil rights leader or face fines

Even OU probably wouldn't outdo the Statue of Liberty on its own, but Oklahoma has 25 colleges, so it could add up.

Sometimes hiding behind the endtabbil is the best thing to do. Honey made a special blanket for stoopid thondres and litnings, with a breath hole so she can stay until it's over.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel.

The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040.

The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

After a few days away, this feels like a big banner that says WELCOME HOME. 🤣 😼

Kind of crazy that congress members do this sort of thing on behalf of Trump all of the time now and it's mostly sort of seen as just the way things are now in the mafia state.

Just today, we saw evidence the president sent a lewd drawing with a deeply creepy birthday message to a notorious sex trafficker AND an appeals court upheld an $83 million judgement against him from a woman who a separate court found he sexually abused. And Republicans fully support this man.

😕

Again, this is the exact sort of extraordinary police power used against the individual that got Massachusetts to start shooting British soldiers. -OS

From June Wandrey’s memoir "Bedpan Commando: The Story of a Combat Nurse During World War II.''

When a veteran who served 22-year as a naval officer and spent his life as a public servant says things at the Social Security Administration are this bad, an immediate congressional investigation is in order. Another example of honorable people doing honorable things. We should listen to them.

A tell in this administration is that when Trump is actually worried about something, he sends Count Baldy the Vile out into the light to stir up the masses by spitting some form of nonsensical, vampiric bile.

Who makes sure you and Charlie Brown and Fizgig and Ludo and Sally never run out of dinners and treats and important pappirs? Act like it's Momb's habby birrtday every day. 😻

politicians to make sure that acting on gun deaths never gets in the way of their profits.

And it always works. Always.

The ONLY solution is for the PEOPLE to actively REJECT politicians who are corrupted.

And Dems, that applies to you too. STOP TAKING BRIBES!

We are fucking SICK OF IT!

What we have learned is that there is no such thing as politicians taking big checks from special interests and NOT serving those interest with their policy votes.

It’s a myth that our politicians aren’t being bribed. Yes they are.

They are.

And we suffer for it every day.

NRA buys

"Their desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults. Their base should be the people they serve, not a political voting bloc."

I’m convinced Trump could announce he’s bringing back human sacrifice to assure the harvest and the Times headline would deem it “unconventional plan for farmers.”

I remember it like it was yesterday.

It can always get worse. And it does.

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

I've been fostering this adorable, tiny, soft, young kitty & wish I could keep her, but she'd be happier in a home without other cats. Please share w/ anyone in range of #Philly who's looking for a #cat. More pics at the link and I can answer any Q's: www.petfinder.com/cat/tiny-gre...

@gonzo.bsky.social Here is another cat that needs a home, very lovely to humans, not so much to cats. FIV positive.

Lavrov’s response 3 times is to insist that Russia has “never, ever targeted civilian sites.” So the apartment buildings and hospitals we see in flames every day and bodies of civilians is all made up apparently. This is who they are - liars and barbarians.
