A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him
Iβm 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
Paw Patrol has more believable villains
War crimes confession.
Whole cottage industry of haruspicy dedicated to auguring meaning out of his constant stream of brain stem level reflex utterings
"His unique style of politics" is just riffing. He's adlibbing every goddamn thing
Important ruling on immigration operations in Minnesota
Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee):
"Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion."

Donβt Believe One Word From this Presidentβ¦.
Somebody should play along and get Trump to start pulling back hard, then suddenly relax and watch him fall on his pasty ass. That would be some funny shit.
All true
Weβre gonna blow up 20 more schools?
it's curious how this won't be accompanied by 75,000 mainstream pundit pieces about how Republicans are obsessed with "identity politics" and need to reconnect with "real America" on "kitchen table issues"
THEN WHY ARE YOU DISPUTING IT
Damn, I got pump and dumped by the president again?
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both
I would watch a West Wing remake named "Everyone Hates JD."
YES. In the same sentence he said the war was complete, he proposed a policy that would vastly enlarge the war! Media reported the first half, and then later reported a different part to make it seem like a change! But it was incoherent, nonsensical slop all along.
This, too, is sanewashing!
we have entered the era of nation-state level trolling
Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC: "Home Health Aide $23,000 I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them? Bronx Day-Care Worker $31,000 $16,600 from day-care profits $14,400 from trainings and consulting Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."
It's all so clear
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were released with their family on Monday from an ICE detention center in South Texas. Rep. Joaquin Castro led a delegation of Democrats to the center to press for the release.
Nobody believes this, including Trump. Because (aside from everything else) if this were true they would have said so as their first "what was the imminent danger" a week ago
FYI, data centers are still one of the most subsidized industries in the US. A non-binding pledge won't change that -- only organizing and policy change will.
Anyway, a hearty fuck you to Dems who keep playing the "our friends across the aisle" game and who keep voting for Republican priorities and nominees. The GOP considers themselves to be in a civil war, the goal of which is to eliminate all opposition to their agenda. Fucking acknowledge it.
I know it gets tiresome saying this, but imagine if Joe Biden or Barack Obama said this about Republicans while they were in office. We'd get banner headlines about Democrats' rejection of pluralism. It'd be a top story for a couple of weeks. bsky.app/profile/atru...
let's see if I've got this straight
the war is over, pretty much
except if we want to bomb iran some more, or israel does
or if iran decides to keep the strait closed
also the regime didn't change and we didn't accomplish anything but blowing up a bunch of kids and poisoning tehran
ok good work
Both, of course, which we knew full well beforehand & didnβt need a wildly illegal war that violates both the US Constitution & the UN Charter.
First the jokes about illegally killing people on boats allegedly carrying drugs, now a comedy routine about torpedoing an unarmed ship in an undeclared war
