Beyond the costumes at No Kings, Democratic leadership may want to check the signs to understand the vibe of their base right now (hint: it’s not health care)

Democratic Senators who backed Noem:

Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania

Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan

Every one of these people needs to be primaried.

also the guy who says he killed Osama bin Laden. very illustrious career!

Fox News has faced ridicule online for repeatedly interviewing masked "guests" - supposedly a "former Antifa member," an "ex-gang member, and others - who all appear to have the same build, eyes, and voice, leading viewers to suspect it's the same man each time.
Internet sleuths recently compared screenshots and suggested the mystery guest resembles Robert J. O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claims to have fired the kill shot on Osama bin Laden.
O'Neill, who's been a frequent Fox News contributor and commentator for years, has a long history of appearances on the network. The recurring use of masked figures resembling him has sparked fresh criticism of Fox's credibility and its penchant for sensational, poorly vetted segments.

Nothing to worry about here-
"Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges wrote: July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin & informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void & they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer."

'He's too stupid': Rumors swirl after Pete Hegseth's new comment mocking a general

After the news was announced that generals, admirals, and other top military officials had to travel to Washington for a meeting, one retired general recalled a similar action in 1930s Germany. Secret...

I made the mistake of venturing onto Facebook… Where HHS no longer seems to know how to spell acetaminophen. Of course, that’s the least troubling part of their proclamations.

Dr. Dorothy Fink: "All too often, it's easy to think that medicines we buy without a prescription pose little to no risk for the mom or the baby. As you heard today, pregnant women who need high fever or pain reduction during pregnancy should take the lowest effective dose of acetimetophin for the shortest possible duration."

President Trump, "The name of the King at the time was William the Conqueror"

"I said that's the coolest name I ever heard. And he built this massive castle. He was known for winning wars"

"In fact I asked King Charles: why don't we call you Charles the Conqueror?"

"He said: no, I don't think so"

NYTimes: affirmative action for mediocre conservative editors @originalist.bsky.social · Sep 16

Newspaper in South Korea:

"MAGA a reactionary movement by white evangelical forces to revert America to a time before the civil rights movement in 1960s

Trump is fundamentally a populist and white supremacist. His slogan “Make America Great Again” more accurately “Make White America Great Again”

"Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society."

South Korean press speaking obvious truths American papers too afraid to publish

Unlike U.S. editorial boards, speaks clearly and plainly about Trump administration doing and why

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.
