hard to believe how many people across the entire world want one simple thing that just never seems to happen

Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.

It's all there. All of the bullshit claims about emergencies and national security threats. The goal all along was to give Trump the power to deploy the military domestically to suppress dissent and crush MAGA's enemies.

These are dangerous people. They're now in the highest levels of government.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Politicians and media consistently fail to point out that fundamentalist Muslims, such as the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Iran, are right wing conservatives. Instead the implication is that they are leftist radicals. Yet every social policy of these theocracies mirror the views of the American right.

You can see he's physically DYING to say that "DEI is when Jews and women and black people do things that I, a white person, don't like" but knows that if he says that, he'll never get hired outside his father's regional jacuzzi company again.

They're scared shitless of his popularity and that of his program.

That's why they're supporting the current Ogles-era conservative idea that Muslim Americans are only provisional citizens who can be held responsible for any extremist act internal and external.

One night, musician and religious leader Charles Manson sent his closest friends on a scavenger hunt in the Hollywood Hills. By sunrise, those idealistic young people would find their lives had changed forever.

Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as β€œpointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Gonna double down with a reminder that if you post a screenshot of text from an article you should alt text it & link to the fucking article!!!! If you found it on the internet you should share the link!!! Do not force me to Nancy Drew my way back to the source by triangulating fonts w/news outlets.

Did you know that tomorrow, March 10th marks the National Day of Rest for Black Women, a day created to center rest, reflection, and renewal? It's also the anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s passing, honoring her powerful legacy of courage, resistance, and liberation.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again β€” Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them β€” But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
