Demons are trying to destroy us (note: NOT ice, or dhs, or fascism, or this administration, okay? DEMONS, get it right). The only way we can defeat them is by the ancient ritual of eating each other I MEAN sitting down for Sunday dinner.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

New NY Times ’visual investigation’ strongly suggests that the US fired the missile that hit the Minab school Saturday. (Though is very careful with its language to not say it conclusively.)

Honestly wtaf does this mean

Fetterman's whole thing now is just triggering the libs until he loses his next primary race by 27 points. Hope he has fun!

Well he sucks

Two days ago, Sen. Kennedy and I pressed Kristi Noem under oath whether the President approved her $220 million PR contract with the spouse of her former flack.

She told our committee that Trump signed off.

Today, Trump fired her.

Trump sides with crypto firms in trillion-dollar battle with banks over stablecoin yield The dispute centers on whether crypto firms like Coinbase can offer yields on stablecoins, which banks warn will siphon trillions of dollars from the industry.

Follow the money

The Coinbase CEO met with Trump at the WH & hours later Trump attacked banks for opposing stablecoin yields

His family has made hundreds of millions from World Liberty Financial, which issues USD1 — a stablecoin that benefits directly!

Corruption in plain sight

with the Dow now below 48,000, Trump brags about the Dow hitting 50,000

U.S. Capabilities Are Showing Signs of Rot When a military force begins to decline, the first symptoms may be subtle.

Latest in @theatlantic.com . In only a few days, there are small but worrying signs that the corruption and incompetence of the Trump administration is affecting US military and diplomatic power. A fish rots from the head down.

House Speaker Tells GOP Lawmaker to Quit Campaign Republican leaders say Rep. Tony Gonzales should leave race after he admitted to an affair.

If this was a F500 company, Rep. Gonzales would have been fired immediately after these details came to light.

House Republicans though have no hesitation working with this creep to maintain their majority.

😐

So disappointing

Trump and a rod- 2 cheaters

Uhhhh they laid siege to the town your franchise calls home???

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

Well, I'm sure the Trump administration has done a careful, detailed job scrubbing Markwaynejoebob Mullin's entire background and we're not going to suddenly find out some unnerving things. I'm just going to sit here and take a big drink from this glass of water.

Given the Kurds place in the Iranian state and the relevant history this seems like a pretty huge risk for them to get involved on this basis.

Gas prices are now higher than when Trump took office.

New: Tucker Carlson responds to Donald Trump, after the president says that he has "lost his way" and is "not MAGA."

"There are times I get annoyed with Trump, right now definitely included," Carlson tells @status.news, "but I’ll always love him no matter what he says about me."

Headline from Rolling stone Feb. 25, 2025 saying the ad campaign was Trump's idea.

The story of Trump approving Noem's ads has been out there for over a year. In fact, according to Noem back in Feb. 2025, he ordered her to make them, thanking Donald Trump for making America safe. I don't think Kristi's the one who is lying about this.

An illegal war for the sake of spectacle and the amusement of POTUS.

Minnesota Timberwolves co-owner Alex Rodriguez is at the White House today and chatting with Pam Bondi, Scott Bessent, and other Trump officials

I have apparently spent more time this week contemplating possible downsides than the president, who says “forget about next.”

“When Tapper pressed Mullin on whether Good’s actions warranted her being killed, the senator said yes, repeatedly insisting that her vehicle was being used in a so-called ‘lethal manner.’”

Tapper said footage “appears to show Ross firing at the side of Good’s car … Mullin dismissed the footage.”

In a statement, Zach Nunn, the Iowa Republican hosting the fundraiser with Hegseth, said he's focused on coordinating the return of killed and wounded soldiers based out of Iowa.

“We will have more to share about Operation TOP NUNN when the time is right.”
