so the people warning about tinkering were right even as everyone else was shaming them for saying it. got it.
we need to stop doubting those who see around corners.
“She should not have refused” me. Spoken like the serial rapist he is.
I can’t get over how Cultural Revolution the DOGE story is, these young people doing crimes they didn’t understand on behalf of a political leader

Support our seniors
This is spreading all over Bluesky today and is wildly misleading--it is from eight months ago and it is in reference to working with NATO allies and arming Ukraine.
yep. and this isn’t a new dynamic. the political press loved bush for the same reason and before him, reagan. a professional culture defined by laziness and indifference to substance.
Interesting life.
Just went down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.
Conrad Viedt for one.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.
He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.
New: Alexander Butterfield, who revealed Nixon’s White House tapes, dies at 99
Mr. Butterfield, a onetime aide to Richard M. Nixon, electrified the Watergate investigation with his bombshell testimony about the president’s secret recording system.

WELKER: Are you receiving any help from Russia?
IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER ABBAS ARAGHCHI: We have a strategic partnership with Russia
WELKER: So that's a yes?
ARAGHCHI: It's not a secret and will continue
WELKER: Is Russia helping you locate US forces?
A: I don't have exact military information
don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free
Since Trump’s return, America has not supported a single resolution condemning Russian aggression. Not one.
A brief guide to the war with Iran so far:
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
WTI crude oil +31% this week, best week in the 43-year history
(ex April 2020, when prices were briefly negative)
Asked earlier today whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump said:
“I guess.”
“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
He can’t even pretend to give a single fuck about human life. Truly a conscienceless sociopath.
The US killed him
The $220 million contract for the ad campaign was awarded to an LLC which subcontracted with a company run by the husband of former DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin. The ads were filmed in October at Mount Rushmore. Ben Yoho, McLaughlin’s husband, said he made $226,137.17 for his work. Under questioning from Kennedy, Noem said repeatedly that Trump personally approved the controversial ad blitz featuring her in the lead role. This has so angered Trump that Noem’s future at DHS may be at risk, we’re told. Kennedy: “The president approved ahead of time you spending $220 million running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently?” Noem: “Yes sir, we went through the legal processes …” Kennedy: “Did the president know you were gonna do this?” Noem: “Yes.” Kennedy: “He did?” Noem: “Uh huh, yes.” More from Kennedy: “They were effective in your name recognition. To me it puts the president in a terribly awkward spot.”
Senator Kennedy put Noem in a spot where she either shifted blame to Trump or took it herself. She chose...poorly. punchbowl.news/article/bord...
Same here. She got used and discarded.

There's a reason presidents have been wary of assassinating foreign leaders: Once it starts, there's no telling where it will end. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Bannon's strategy was to "flood the zone with shit"
Trump heard, "fill the headlines with dead Americans"
ICE wasn't killing enough
The measles wasn't killing enough
Mass murderers weren't killing enough
So now he's launched a full scale war
That should do it
These men on Fast Money just can't let the woman who knows what she speaks of speak.
They need to STFU
You are never going to put Pete Hegseth in front of cameras and microphones and have the sentient world feel anything but a bad cocktail of contempt and anxiety. He oozes obnoxious, out of his depth clown
