Historians will cite Kirk’s inflammatory statements followed by the media’s hagiography to condemn both.
the media rush to canonize charlie kirk is legitimately maybe one of the weirdest things of this nature i have ever seen in my life

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS!

Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store.

He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned”

She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired.

The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”

If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.

📣 🚨 Fox's Jesse Watters is priming the cult for Dear Leader #Epstein disclosures, thus all the Trump "heaven talk" now.

Watters on Trump (w/chuckles behind him):
"He knows he's been a bad boy...he's not Diddy, but he's done *some things*...& we don't even know all the things he's done."
😳

I received this email from the SSA as well. It is a complete lie. Social Security income is still taxed — the Big, Ugly Bill did NOTHING to change that.

Welcome to 1984, folks.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

it is no exaggeration at all to say that these are people who would rather destroy the state's flagship public university than education a diverse cross-section of the commonwealth's students
I get to be the proud alum who explains to everybody in the group chat how the governor pushed people onto the board and those new members began working with DOJ to threaten the president so he would resign so they could do a coup and replace him with someone that would destroy the university

There were 28 nationwide injunctions against Biden, and the Supreme Court didn't have an issue with any of them.

I wonder what changed.

Vance: I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents

LET THIS SINK IN: The U.S. just bombed Iran. Cities are on high alert.

And Trump put a 22-year-old ex-gardener and grocery clerk—Thomas C. Fugate—in charge of domestic terror prevention.

He graduated last year. This is who’s supposed to keep us safe.

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.
EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker.

The logic is pretty obvious here. Presidents can’t declare war so anything the president does without Congress can’t be a war. It’s not an assessment of what’s happening; it’s an excuse.
JD Vance: "We're not at war with Iran."
