How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.
War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

Conservatives are upset that this new breed of TPUSA weirdos don’t have the sense to keep the antisemitism hidden any more.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Guys, I hope you are had a great Christmas with friends and family. But please spare a moment to remember those who are so alone, they spend the entire day posting hateful messages. And then remember that one of those guys is in charge of the country.

President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

I could be wrong, but I think a few US air strikes in Nigeria (a country of 237 million people that’s 30% larger than Texas) won’t change the situation on the ground at all. It could possibly make things worse.

This is a great example not just of Nazism being normalized, but of being so removed from the consequences of Nazism that it becomes just a thought exercise. I mean, hey, 20 years ago this avowed antisemite couldn’t even have been part of polite society and look at him now!

I want to *stress* that the backlash to this administration needs to be overwhelming, sustained, and come bearing legal consequences.

Republicans want to kill the post office and the media is there for it, which is why you have never seen a news story about how the police department has never turned a profit and is a waste

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

Many people are saying that when they tried to “like” this wildly inappropriate, theocratic post from Hegseth, they couldn’t get it to work until they did a double tap.
