You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Apparently, no one has the heart to tell a guy with dementia he was also the President during the January 6th, Insurrection.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

George Stephanopoulos will no doubt be JD Vance’s most hated journalist after this interview.

After rambling for over a minute and refusing to answer a question countless times, Stephanopoulos drops the mic on him and moves on. #jdvance #tomhoman #news #funny #trump

Terrorizing Americans is the only intent. Create fear. Tell lies about violence.

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 2d

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

"The Economics Prize isn't an actual Nobel Prize."

Yes, it is. It's done through the same nomination and selection process, announced alongside the other Nobel Laureates, and presented at the same awards ceremony. It is 100% a Nobel Prize.

Brilliant! Must be copied in every city. Neuter Trump's authoritarianism. Make the world laugh at him. Shine a spotlight on his lies.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

I credit the executive producers of "The Morning Show," Jennifer Aniston and Reece Witherspoon, for hiring so many talented women as lead writers and directors.
