The screaming subtext here is a call for ethnic cleansing, in a healthy pluralistic government heβd be censured and expelled

This is a great point. The scared branch of the "are Republicans all evil or are they just scared?" debate gets a whole leg up with Trump's Megashoegate.
Record low confidence in the Supreme Court now translates into social license to grow the court later.
I really wish that the people who voted for Trump because they did not see all this coming would take the next logical step to "what did the people who *did* see it coming do differently?" and switch up their information sources.
Continuing to vote without doing so is citizenship malpractice.
This is an unusual level of loyalty, to refuse to go even on deep background but freely give up the name off the record. Also shows that despite all the bluster, the Trump people trust the mainstream media's ethics.
They've learned nothing and they intend to learn nothing.
Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could βbomb Tehran into the Stone Ageβ until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.
do they just not put the parable of the sheep and goats in evangelical bibles?
Dude quotes literal scripture in modern vernacular and Senate Republicans post it as outrage bait. lolsob.
Noem's one-minute $220 million ad cost more than nearly every film nominated for Best Picture at the upcoming 2026 Academy Awards:
* Frankenstein
* Marty Supreme
* Sinners
* Bugonia
* Hamnet
* Train Dreams
* Sentimental Value
* The Secret Agent
The idea that America isnβt for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. Itβs antithetical to the concept of America.
So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.
Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.
And sorry, butβthese fucking cowards in the Senate canβt vote against Trump nominees?
π ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.
The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I already apologized to Lucas for thinking the prequel plot [where everybody enthusiastically gives up their freedom to give an obviously evil man more power to protect them from a trivial threat] was unrealistic, now thisβ¦
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
This is RFK, Jr.'s MAHA Institute's recent meeting in D.C.
Slide presentation titles:
βThe Polio Fraudβ and βThe flu shot has given 1,900,000 Americans Alzheimerβs,β and βVACCINES ARE GREATEST SCAM IN MEDICAL HISTORY.β (capitals, theirs)

Why on earth are you guys trying to save the GOPβs bacon in an election year? They control everything! Let them figure it out! Just fucking criticize them!
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - βWhen your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.β
not only is this war likely a crime against international law, but it is also extremely extremely strategically stupid. at no point has anyone actually put forth any strategic aims that they've not walked back in the next day
Told yβall Elonβs DOGE team werenβt data analysts.
They were hackers!
A whistleblower says a DOGE engineer stole Social Security data and put it on a thumb drive, including personal information on hundreds of millions of Americans.
People need to go to prison for this shit.
"how many carrier battle groups are you moving into position first to defend the Strait of Hormuz? Is the answer 'all of them' because if it's not you need a new plan"
Also if you had said "hey we're gonna bomb Iran" to any of the thousands of former or current sailors who have transited the Strait, down to a damn Boatswain's Mate we all would have said "what's the plan for the Strait of Hormuz?"
I cannot stress enough how narrow the channel is in the Strait and the fact that like. Two guys with a bass boat, a shoulder mounted rocket launcher, and a decent sense of determination could hold the thing for long enough for 6 more bass boats with 12 more guys to show up and fuck up your day.
...any of the thousands of US Navy members current and former who have transited the Strait of Hormuz while Iran trolled the ship for shits and giggles can describe for you at least 3 ways they can close the Strait without attending any briefing.
If I were this much of a fuckup I would simply not start wars with countries that were minding their own damn business, and launch myself into the sun instead
Schatz: We donβt know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement β way more tolerance for civilian harm.
Thatβs more than half the annual budget of the National Science Foundation.
This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology

What does this war of aggression have anything to do with βour freedomβ?
The problem with this βsacrifice for our freedomβ language is that the Trump administration cannot articulate a single half-plausible reason it did this, didnβt bother to explain to the public it was starting a war in the first place, and has changed its explanation for why three times in a week.
