Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.

Inflation is up to 3.6% year over year. This means it's up since Trump took over, and higher than where Biden held it dating back to June 2023. Trump's promise to immediately lower prices has completely failed, yet he insists it's all fixed.

Tim Cook chooses riches over justice and coddles the evil ways of dictator Trump

Opinion: While Americans were reeling from the killing of Alex Pretti in Minnesota, Tim Cook chose to attend a nauseatingly tone-deaf screening of a glossy documentary about Melania Trump. A vanity project soaked in controversy and obscene money, writes John Casey.

Promoting violence against those who disagree with you is unacceptable in a democracy, and the silence of Republicans in Congress speaks volumes.

Donald Trump should listen to Donald Trump.

He owns this shutdown.

They want us to believe that Trump has bruises on BOTH HANDS from handshaking with his right hand, but his ear healed so perfectly after being shot that there was NO SIGN of it within weeks. Got it.

Andry HernΓ‘ndez Romero on surviving CECOT: 'They told us we would die there' β€œI want the world to know that being Venezuelan is not a crime,” the gay makeup artist told The Advocate in an exclusive interview.

I hope you’ll read this & share it widely.

What struck me the most during our hour-long conversation was how gracious & positive Andry Hernandez Romero is. He’s bright, kind, & thoughtful.

What the Trump administration did to him could have broken him. It didn’t.

🧨 The Wall Street Journal is about to drop a BOMBSHELL about the Trump/Epstein island affair.

Buckle up, ya’ll.

It’s about to get very ugly very fast.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. 🀒
