Listen up for a peek into my editorial "process"!

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

How long can I go on in blissful ignorance of whatever "Shield of the Americas" is

I will point out that it’s the largest room in the conference, and it’s standing room only. People do not want this.

It's insane that the fate of the world hinges on this man's "feelings."

if not war then why war shaped

I’m going to miss this guy.

I was a shy, ballet-dancing transfer student when friends at my new high school took me to the Metropolis in 1983. It exploded my mind and no lie changed my damn life. ❤️

Raja is an absolutely terrible choice folks.

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.

Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

The cool thing is that the US seeking regime change in the middle east is something that has worked out every time with no blowback or unintended consequences ever.

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us.

It sucks.

We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this.

New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had years-long business tie with sex offender The commerce secretary apparently still hasn't come clean on his connection with Epstein.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social
