Oh so I guess *that's* why Iran has been spamming upwards of 50 drones a day at Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province for the last few days
Those little girls didn't stand a chance!
Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...
I had assumed the headline was a joke. But no.

absolutely pathetic
Moral rot describes mortally rotten Trump perfectly.
Of course, the DOGE boys didn’t make death threats, they made deaths.
Ideally you shouldn’t be such a callow asshole your very appearance results in death threats.
When Christi Webb tried to cut off the flow of millions in welfare funds to ex-pro wrestler Teddy DiBiase, Mississippi welfare chief John Davis called her crying, she testified.
“‘The only way I can have friends is to give them money. He’s got to keep getting this money,’" she recalled him saying.
Hegseth is saying the quiet part out loud: Trump wants to turn US media into state propaganda to parrot their line, not tell the truth.
We're seeing corporate, right-leaning media consolidation bend the knee to Trump. Americans must find independent, trustworthy, news sources.
Democrats in Congress need to look into this ASAP.
This verdict is appalling — especially the conviction of Daniel Sanchez-Estrada merely for transporting constitutionally protected zines, similar to the pamphlets that prompted the press freedom clause.
The implications extend far beyond so-called "Antifa."

This is exactly how Putin became one of the wealthiest men in the world. He got a cut of every major industry. That's exactly what is going on here.
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
Hegseth at this morning’s press conference: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
He keeps throwing around radioactive phrases like “no quarter” and “unconditional surrender.” I’m not sure he even knows what they mean. Is he just throwing around movie lines?
this is just open and abject corruption, but the way U.S. journalism frames it you'd not really understand that there's anything untoward
😕
Here’s why MAGA is attacking our movement:
There’s a new war in the Middle East.
There’s a cost of living crisis.
There’s a secret pedophile ring.
They're hoping Americans care more about culture wars than actual wars. More about pronouns than prices.
We're not falling for it.
jesus christ "He was criminally charged with theft for improperly obtaining gift cards worth $154.62. His bail was set for $150,000. Ge had no previous criminal record."
2. The Islamic Republic has repeatedly signaled that attacks on its core oil infrastructure — especially Kharg — would be a major red line.
This has the potential to be a major escalation, but we’ll have to wait and see.

An obscure methodological tweak -- a change in the source of data on the price of legal services -- resulted in meaningfully lower monthly PCE inflation in January. That's prompting questions about why the change was made and why it wasn't disclosed publicly.

- A guard on duty when Jeffrey Epstein died, Tova Noel, will be called to testify in the Oversight Committee. - Epstein’s own accountant, Richard Kahn, gave contradictory testimony this week about whether or not an accuser of both Epstein and Trump (Jane Doe 4) received a settlement from the Epstein Estate for abuse. He now says he cannot confirm or deny. It’s time for answers! It’s time to depose Trump in this case.
TWO BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EPSTEIN CASE:
The quoted tweet is, among other things, a devastating indictment of Politico. No one there is capable of recognizing it or feeling shame, but still.
