I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk talk obsessively about rooting out fraud at the Social Security Administration. The agency’s inspector general recently found that less than one per cent of benefits distributed between 2015 and 2022 were improper.

Very heartening to see foreign officials mocking him for being a fucking clown. Feels like the garlic to his vampire
BREAKING NEWS: Canadian Premier Wab Kinew of Manitoba MOCKS Trump by signing a “beautiful” order that officially removes ALL American liquor from Canadian stores in his province.

Donald Trump just caused massive economic damage to our country. How sad and embarrassing.

How long will it take for Trump to issue an executive order prohibiting all of these lawyers — as he did earlier with two law firms — from access to federal buildings? Of course, it is impossible to bring a federal lawsuit without going to a federal building.

"The American antisemitism now merges with the Russian antisemitism and reinforces it. The idea that Zelens'kyi is not a real president, and that his government is therefore not a real government, has been a very specific Russian antisemitic trope from the beginning."

Changing the name of “The Gulf of Mexico” to “The Gulf of America,” is not a stoke of genius. Other than benefiting mapmakers the worldover, plus computer code writers and Trump’s ego, it will have absolutely no impact on anything. So why not call it what it actually is: “The Gall of America?”

If my school teacher had said that to me I would have said “Show me the evidence.”
In high school, my social studies teacher took me aside and told me that "cynicism was the easy path" and that I needed to resist it. It's probably the most important thing I learned in school.
