I never use my platform to bash a business, but I swear to God, I will never rent a car from Thrifty again. They charged me $1000 on my debit card as a hold for any damage on the vehicle and then needed my Social Security number to run a credit check.
I feel like I was scammed.

The GOP argument collapses under its own facts: they admit they don’t know where the boats were going, that 25% of interdicted vessels have no drugs, and that many aren’t headed to the U.S. at all. Calling this an “imminent threat to America” is impossible to square with the evidence. #holdfast

There’s a simple reason Hegseth keeps saying things that conflict with Bradley’s testimony (ex. no radio comms): admitting the truth would expose him to command responsibility. If the survivors were incapacitated, he’s not defending a policy; he’s defending himself.

Unspeakably cruel
If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.
Just unspeakable assholery.

I wasn’t much of a Sabrina Carpenter fan, but I recently went to one of her shows at Madison Square Garden. It was so fun, and her live vocals were seriously impressive. 10/10 recommend

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.
