Mark Kelly spent 54 days in space flying on four space shuttle missions.

Pete Hegseth spent $50,000 paying off a woman to obtain an NDA after sexually assaulting her while he was drunk at a Hyatt in Monterrey, California In 2017.
Sen. Mark Kelly: “President Trump is trying to silence me. Threatening to kill me for saying what is true. And he sent his Secretary of Defense after me. And it's not going to work.”

The idea that I started covering Nick early on because he was critical of Israel (that’s one way to put it) and not because he was a white nationalist with clear aspirations of influence and power is so stupid and dishonest it’s not even laughable.
Nick Fuentes says that a Right Wing Watch "smear campaign" is to blame for giving people the impression that he is a racist, antisemitic, Christian nationalist extremist nut job. We'd argue that it's his own words that are giving people that impression. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Steve Witkoff has shown the world he will adopt Putin's talking points and concede the sovereignty of our Ukrainian allies if it means some of his billionaire buddies can get rich off Russia.

It's un-American and a total betrayal of our values. Witkoff needs to be fired.

Texas Tech has decided it wants to be a football program affiliated with something equivalent to an air conditioning repair school
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Anyone want to help me pitch Netflix on a series pilot where a murderer's baby mamma interviews her murderer spouse's co-conspirator and HIS wife, where they all talk about whether they eat mayonnaise or not?

Literally, this WH has never done damage control. It's always been "lmao fuck u libs"

This is damage control. It's a playbook they don't know how to play, and it means that they are literally, seriously spooked.

Everyone is reading this kinda wrong.

This is the WH recognizing things are getting out of hand and they're trying really hard to damage control. It's probably the first honest to god time I've seen this administration do this.
Quoting “officials” is an excuse to lie for Trump and everyone at the NYT knows that.

Corruption is the force that’s defining Trump’s collapse—the golden plane, the crypto billions, the corrupt pardons

He’s serving himself, not the American people

PSA: Andrew Solender pays Axios' bills by ragebaiting all of you.

And it works every fucking time, too.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Even if you think the Hegseth and trump spin is believable either they ordered the illegal murders, or they are currently covering for and hiding, aiding and abetting, and refusing to prosecute other murderers in their government

Either way, it is really scandalous! Take your pick I guess

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Schmitt’s argument is unintentionally revealing.

The “color revolutions” were non-violent, pro-democracy political movements aimed at ending autocratic regimes in former Soviet bloc nations.

If the Democrats are leading a “color revolution,” then Trump is an autocrat & Schmitt is pro-autocrat.
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Corruption isn't just a US problem - it's a human problem. That's one of the reasons that a government representing the interests of the nation's citizens need to regulate big business. Giving big business more latitude to hide information does not represent the interests of the consumers.
