Pete Hegseth and Trump told military leaders they want U.S. cities treated as combat training grounds.
As if that wasn’t disturbing enough, Ted Cruz said the quiet part out loud: “Democrats need to stop attacking pedophiles.”
This is today’s GOP.

i wonder what it’s like to look around every day and see the country being run into the ground by pill-poppers and secret police and anti-vaxxers and book burners and you go into work and sit down at your computer and you’re the guy whose job it is to come up with new oreos flavors

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.
I'm talking about something very different.
Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.
Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.
But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿♂️

I’m so glad woke is dead. It was annoying having to be considerate of others and occasionally get yelled at online when I offended someone. I much prefer a post-woke society where private businesses get yelled at by government officials for changing a font and the military is stationed in US cities.

Everyone believes that theirs is the only job in the world that AI will never be able to do and Andreessen is no exception
Marc Andreessen says VC may be one of the last fields safe from AI after it replaces most workers, as it requires "intangible" skills like psychological insight (Lucas Ropek/Gizmodo)

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

I have lived in US under leadership so 'realpolitik'-minded that it became amoral. (From LBJ-Nixon on Vietnam, to Mitch McConnell.)
Under leaders who made disastrous misjudgments. (Crowned by Bush-Cheney Iraq War.)
Under leaders whose values I thought wrong.
But never before by nuts and clowns.

The GOP COVID Committee report is wild. The virus is a Chinese bioweapon designed by Fauci ... and it was so mild that the US should have taken zero precautions ... and Democratic governors didn't take enough precautions ... and we should have let everyone get it.
