US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

Reminds me of that classic Soviet joke: Q: How is caviar consumed in the Soviet Union? A: By the people's duly constituted representatives.

Trump said this week that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. This is what he said in July.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

It’s a start, I suppose, but the whole lot needs to go.

Killing for sport Pete Hegseth is an unfit disgrace who lacks every quality of integrity, decency and wisdom a man whose work involves sending others to die should possess.

MAGA don't care that President Pedophilia lies to them? When they find out about all the children he raped, they're going to feel even dumber that they supported that kind of trash.

BREAKING: Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Sonny Burton.

The state was set to execute Sonny for a crime he didn't commit, but tens of thousands of people nationwide demanded justice β€” and our voices were heard.

Murphy: β€œI think it’s likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school β€” I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war β€” I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadership”

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

My initial reaction: it's impossible that the FBI and DOJ didn't know about this at the highest levels. Which means they covered up Epstein's murder and consciously lied to the public about it. Which means we should be highly skeptical of every claim they make about Epstein. bsky.app/profile/ms.n...

Trump did pretty much everything that a foreign power could have done to drive the largely disaffected citizens of Iran into the hands of their bloodthirsty authoritarian leaders. Well done, indeed.

A Closer Look at ICE's Enormous People Warehouse Near Hagerstown, Maryland Watch now | I drove out to the site of one of the most controversial new ICE facilities in the country this afternoon, an 825,000 square foot warehouse built with the hopes of being used or sold to a ...

Austin Kocher and the Archbishop of San Antonio are saying essentially the same thing: "The conversion that ICE is attempting, from warehouse to human storage, is not a renovation so much as a statement about what this administration believes immigrants are."

Most of the world despises us, and none of our allies respect Trump. But our enemies love him. He is easy to use, easy to fool, and easy to play. Just offer bribes and public praise and he'll do whatever you want.

A win! A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from gutting the appeals process for migrants facing deportation stopping a planned overhaul that would have automatically thrown out all appeals

This becomes even more galling when you realize Donald only wore a cap to the "dignified" transfer because the slob is more worried about the appearance of his hair in wind than presence of soldiers in coffins.

As though we needed any more evidence that Fox "News" is a mendacious propaganda machine and not remotely a serious journalistic enterprise.

Still, this is pretty astounding.

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles β€œSonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

This fact is not in dispute: Charles β€œSonny” Burton, 75, has never killed anyone.

But on Thursday, Alabama is set to execute him.
