Pete Hegseth Questions What Girls Were Doing In School To Begin With WASHINGTON—Saying critics of the missile strike that killed at least 175 civilians were dodging a fundamental question, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday demanded to know what girls were doing ...

“In all this talk about who was responsible and how this happened, are we just going to ignore the fact that girls were allowed to learn?” said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Honestly hard to know which second of the 30 or so after he returns that I would pick as “the absolute weirdest second I’ve seen of a Trump official (aside from Trump) on camera,” but at least five of these seconds are in the top 10.

Can this be a solution?

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

photographers, it is YOUR time to earn that Pulitzer by capturing the exact moment Rubio eats shit while slipping on a banana peel in his too-big Boy Shoes

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

I think what happened is basically that a bunch of consultants misread the rightward swing among Gen Z last election as a permanent vibe shift which is why the weaseliest Dems sprinted to do podcasts with hitlerites instead of waiting three months for trump to fuck everything up like he always does

This is from 1975.

Most economists agree that by the time you're 50, you should be living in a book-filled cottage at the edge of the forest and solving minor mysteries in your village with the aid of a curious ghost cat.

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

my name is Ty, or Brent. i am 42 years old. i think hearing Spanish is the worst thing that can happen to a person. i have sexually harassed every woman who works at the nearby starbucks. all my sons are named Bryson. last year i drunk drove my dodge ram into a day care center

Our government using dipshit AI to accidentally blow up a school full of little girls is so horrible I don't think we can actually process it. We've maxed out on horrible. All of this just makes everyone worse. No punchline.

I found out how to turn Google AI off on my Gmail accouny and holy god why did I ever allow shit to be sorted into different folders

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

I maintain that simply arresting Elon musk and making a real example of him is the quickest way to global stability

turns out lesbians like me because they assume i'm gay. tough position to be in, being very into these lesbians

The Trump Administration can’t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.

US Employers Unexpectedly Cut Jobs, Unemployment Rises February data call labor market stabilization narrative into question

Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump and a Republican Congress "for the economy." This is what you get, a sputtering job creation engine that can't make progress like before and keeps rolling backwards.

CSPAN @cspan . @SpeakerJohnson after House blocked War Powers Resolution: "We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the Department of Defense have made it very clear, this is a limited operation."

Darkly funny he had enough self-awareness to revert to "Department of Defense" here.

feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined
