Also, fun fact, there are actual missiles the US uses that cost a million a pop. Do you have any idea how many we fire a year? Want to keep SNAP running? Just stop. Tell the fleet to touch grass. Fire Hegseth so he stops trying to impress the group chat and we could feed the whole country.

“So it looks like you’re flying a fighter jet and wearing a crown, but it turns out it’s really a bomber and the bombs are poops. You’re up there pooping on all the cities in America because you’re the king of America, and so of course you shit on it when it doesn’t behave. It’s high concept, sir.”

I don't think it's possible to come up with a better metaphor for Trump's presidency than him cheerfully flying a plane that dumps literal shit on America

What the living fuck is this? How is this the world we live in?

There are no words.

I so wish I could be alive in 50 years to read how the historians describe this.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

🚨 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.”

as a comedy writer something I love about these protests is how many genuinely creative and funny bits there are. the cava bags, this text chain. even a sign as simple as “honk if you’re not in the epstein files” really tickled me. very good stuff all around.

I travelled x-country with my late ex-husband, who was a Republican (don't judge, pre 9/11, I was young/he was not, we divorced in 3 yrs in part BECAUSE of his gross reaction to 9/11), and HE was squidged out by how conservative Colorado Springs was. So this is amazing. Home of Focus on the Family.

A black sign saying: The Only Ice we want is in our gin and tonics. The text appears above a drawing of a glass holding what appears to be a gin and tonic with lime and cucumber. There is ice in the glass.
