I'm not above making fun of fascists' names

I'm sad

Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.

Who's next? Bondi?

Now, do all of them

If you hate Inter Miami as much as I do, you're kind of enjoying this

😵‍💫

Trump with Inter Miami behind him: "When you see somebody walking down the street without their legs, without the arms, whose face is so badly affected and hurt, it mostly came from -- 95% -- Soleimani and Iran"

Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh

And she's out, not even an hour later.

Trump is presenting Mullin's appointment as automatic, but he still has to go through Senate confirmation hearings like everyone else. They're usually deferential to their colleagues, but I think this guy for this post in this election year might prompt issues

We’re kicking off Women’s History Month by celebrating our Brick Wall! 🧱

On Sept. 13 2025, with a shutout against KC Current, Aubrey Kingsbury became the FIRST goalie in National Women's Soccer League history to record a shutout against every single opponent in the league! 💪 (14 total at the time)

Well, you know they probably had a bowl everyone had to throw their car keys into

That means someone still gets to tell her.

Pick me! Pick me!

I'm granting a 15-minute extension for Markwayne jokes

Trump is a fucking loser bsky.app/profile/atru...

*checks watch* 60 more minutes of Noem jokes and then pencils down

Noem is officially "Second Term Pruitt"

Twilight Zone 🤝 Veep

I... I can't beat this

Otherwise it's just a sparkling military action

After staying silent during their first Asian Cup game, Iran's players sang & saluted the anthem ahead of their game vs Australia.

These players came to play football & find themselves enmeshed in a geopolitical crisis, fearing for the safety of loved ones back home.

I may have missed it before, but I'm just now seeing that EPA appears to have formally eliminated its Office of Children's Health Protection. Interestingly, I'm not seeing any press coverage of this. So, either people think it's not a big deal or they missed it, too.
