Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

These brave Americans died because Trump was bored and wanted to spice things up with a fight.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Sidebar but I am reading about India/Pakistan partition and boy religious nationalism leads to some really bad places, probably should stick with liberal pluralism.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Trump: [gets elected because the prices on things are too high]

Trump: [implements tarrifs all over the place, bombs Iran, ends de minimis exception]

Heck of a job, Donny.

"Everyone is 12" theory remains undefeated.

At this point, I think there might literally be a 7th grade boy running White House comms.

Turns out that surrounding a racist sociopathic narcissistic moron with amoral yes-men isn’t a good strategy for running a country.🤷‍♂️

Donald Trump has literally taken at least 10 years off the life of every American in this country.
With his constant chaos.

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Screaming

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

The fuck kind of answer is this

It’s Luigi time… 🔥

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

I like the World Baseball Classic. But I'd like it more if it was limited to players with like "no more than 10 Major League Appearances" or something.

On the one hand, Batman's No-Kill Rule established a moral code for fictional heroes.
On the other hand, it made it so writers didn't have to come up with new villains every month.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Does this mean Lewandowski will now have to bang Mullin?

now that noem was fired she can go back to her passion project of being a hagraven from elder scrolls

Quickly becoming a single issue voters and that single issue is accountability.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Thou shalt arrest Kristi Noem and put her in a detention center indefinitely so she can “await processing.”

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Well would you look at that
