Jaime Harrison has had enough of the bs and rightfully so

Hegseth Salivates Over David Ellison’s Planned Takeover of CNN The defense secretary can’t wait for the planned right-wing takeover of CNN.

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.

“Al Gore would have invaded Iraq”
“Hillary Clinton would have put anti choice Justices on the Court”
“Kamala Harris would be going to war with Iran”

NO!!! None of that is true and you are an absolute fucking idiot if you say any of those things.

Honestly The Great Gatsby is such straightforward language and so well written that I question your intelligence if you can’t understand it. I think part of its greatness is how it’s such an easy read

the most thoroughly vindicated man in hollywood.

feels telling about American foreign policy punditry that while many decry the aimlessness of Trump’s monstrously wrong Iran war there were far more outraged columns over the harm done to US power and influence and standing and interests and example when Biden rightly withdrew from Afghanistan.

it is evil.
i know a lot of my fellow liberals dont like to use that word. but im happy to use it when the shoe fits. these kids need to be protected, not attacked. going after them for craven political purposes -- any purpose -- is evil. and those who do so should burn in hell for all eternity.

ELECTIONS Trump asks why US can't use nukes: MSNBC PUBLISHED WED, AUG 3 2016 8:05 AM EDT UPDATED WED, AUG 3 2016 3:01 PM EDT Matthew J. Belvedere @MATT_BELVEDERE WATCH LIVE VIDEO 1:20 Trump reportedly asks why US can't use nukes: MSNBC

Donald Trump asked a foreign policy expert advising him why the U.S. can't use nuclear weapons, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said on the air Wednesday, citing an unnamed source who claimed he had spoken with the GOP presidential nominee. "Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why can't we use them," Scarborough said on his "Morning Joe" program.

I will just say it out loud:

I am very concerned Trump will use a tactical nuclear weapon in his quest for a quick victory over Iran.

I am reminded of the story from 2016, when Trump reportedly asked three times in a single briefing why nuclear weapons couldn’t be used:

the year is 2049 and President Ocasio-Cortez is receiving criticism for what is perceived as a rushed withdrawal from Tehran

2/? I wish more people would study Jesse Jackson and his Presidential Campaigns of 1984 and 1988. I remember in real time by 1992 watching "Meet the Press" and they had a whole round table about what the Dems needed to do to get Jesse to not run again 1992.

I saw the Glen Miller Orchestra perform when I was a teenager in a high school auditorium

Whenever I go to the ER for a kidney stone and they asked me to rank my pain. I usually say a five because an abscess tooth was by far the worst I’ve ever experienced.

Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

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

The Failures of “Centrism” By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening ine

As primary season kicks off today in North Carolina and Texas, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November.

Hogwash.

Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine.

They've been talking like that about trans people for awhile now.

the seemingly inexorable march of antisemitism into the very heart of US politics from both the left and right is pretty depressing

Platner sat for lengthy interview with antisemitic conspiracy theorist, said he was ‘longtime fan’ of his show Weeks before Graham Platner promoted an antisemitic conspiracy theorist in a now-deleted social media post on Thursday, the controversial Maine Senate candidate appeared on a popular YouTube show whos...

It just doesn’t stop with Platner. Lying about a Nazi tattoo; dogwhistling Protocols of Elders of Zion; retweeting a Holocaust denier; and now this. Dont tell me this is converting MAGA. It is MAGA. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

The Trump regime, which has boasted about low gas prices, just launched a war that has closed the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world's oil normally passes.

Everyone skips past the 02 financial crisis because 09 was so bad.

But depending on how you parse millenial...it's been bad for awhile but also the worst bit is they grew up during a period where things were getting better and then got the rug pulled out from under them.

The death toll from Israel's strike on the children's elementary school in Minab, Iran is 85.

🧵

Just got a premonition of the world ending with Dan Scavino posting a video on Truth Social of a mock-solemn Donald Trump pointing at a nuclear missile and saying “You’re fired!” as Stephen Miller and JD Vance high five behind him watching it take off.

Let's be clear on what this admin is likely to try next. They're not just going to unconstitutionally insert the federal government into election processes... they may try to manipulate intel to make it look like there's a reason to.

Very much not the point but listing sex at birth on a document meant to identify you right now is utterly useless from a security standpoint. but of course this is about cruelty and forced outing of queer private lives.
