So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Fitting that in America’s final form, the epicenter of evil will be a private golf resort for wealthy pedophiles.

The real distraction is your brain presuming clever three dimensional chess moves when there’s a far simpler explanation: Some people are simultaneously cruel and stupid.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

The Hasanabi Doctrine. And he and Rami are both correct.

Least surprising development.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Free Palestine, and fuck Paramount Skydance. We love to see it.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

This is one of the most chilling things I've heard from one of these guys. Like, good lord.

Nailed it.

My father was lucky to have his prostate cancer caught in very early stages in his late 60’s/early 70’s. Treatment was simple & as painless as any of these issues ever are.

Even with family history, my doctor still won’t recommend I get a colonoscopy until 45 (turn 41 later this year).

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

Wonder Man is easily in my top 3 Marvel Television projects. Yahya Abdul Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley are both excellent, and their chemistry really is key to the relationship that drives the show. Some fun (& ridiculous) L.A. celebrity cameos are a treat, but Simon’s story is the star. 👍🏻 👍🏻

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Best Trek series premiere by a mile, enjoy the journey!

Maybe call for the abolition of said agency. Just a thought.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned.Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned.Thousand

Trump claims he’s cracking down on fraud in Minnesota — while pardoning actual fraudsters.

Over half of his 88 individual pardons have been for white collar crimes, including money laundering, bank fraud, and wire fraud.

It’s all part of his pay-to-pardon scheme.

I mean… fuck this guy. What a ghoul. Absolute monster. Fuck him.

Right? Polls don’t matter if elections don’t happen or are ignored by Dear Leader.

Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.

New Hampshire Republican defiant after ‘segregated schools’ leak New Hampshire state Rep. Kristin Noble, who chairs a House education committee, seems to have promoted “segregated schools” in a Signal chat.

Something I desperately need everyone to understand is that the entire modern conservative movement, from Buckley to Trump and from the Heritage Foundation to the Federalist Society, exists as a direct backlash to the Warren Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Ed.

Never forget that Henry Ford was awarded the highest Nazi civilian honor given to a non-German in 1938, and helped with publishing one of the most virulent and dangerous pieces of antisemitic propaganda of all time.

Fuck Ford.

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:

46% support abolishing ICE
43% oppose abolishing ICE

This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support
