The average voter is not as hyper-informed of every Graham Platner development as people are On Here. In Maine, they go to his rallies, get motivated and love his no-nonsense regular guy shtick.

Many will be surprised when Susan Collins and her Super PACs vaporize him with Nazi ads this summer.

Dee Snider and Twister Sister released "We're Not Gonna Take It" over forty years ago but here we all are, still taking it.

There’s a reason people were singing and playing Come Out Ye Black and Tans this winter

I feel sad that the level of discourse in this country by and about professional military personnel has become so degraded (or, probably more likely, so muzzled by threats) that Hegseth's "No stupid rules of engagement" did not immediately arouse a ferocious response.

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.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

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.

This government hates the military.

The US Capitol Police just gave a patch to a Senator who broke a Marines arm. While actual American soldiers are dying in the Middle East. Disgusting shit.

J6 part 2 is coming and Capitol Police are gonna help the insurrectionists this time.

WHY IS EVERY PAPER ON EARTH USING SCHUMER’S PICTURE WHEN HE LOST ON A PARTY-LINE VOTE??

War is hell, but there is a special eternal hell reserved for people who would double tap a girls’ school, and it is our job to have scrupulously fair trials and then usher the people responsible for it there

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately
