I think it was Aristotle who observed that scatology is the highest form of satire.

Gov. Pritzker: "The president lies consistently, and he's got a lot of people around him who are sycophants, including JD Vance, who lie on his behalf...It's propaganda."

Yes indeed, though that comment is more stupid than warped.

Trump continues do do everything he can to help Russia win the war.

@shanegoldmacher.bsky.social "A well-worn playbook" Ignoring a threat to democracy because of "voters in the conflicted middle" is absurd advice that sounds like it's from a Republican strategist--which it actually is! The “NO KINGS” protests speak for themselves—except on the front page of NYT.

On Saturday, countless people gathered at “No Kings” protests in thousands of cities and towns across the United States and the world.

Their focus?: President Donald Trump and his administration’s increasing turn towards authoritarianism.

Here's what "No Kings" Looked Like Across the World

It certainly wasn't a "Hate America Rally."

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”
