The president coughs up a bunch of numbers about how many lives are saved for every boat he blows out of the water, and you don't ask where that came from, and in your story that day, you don't show the slightest curiosity.

Again, you might want to think about another line of work.

"The high and rising prices of health care, groceries and housing are a leading impediment to the lives of millions of Americans. But Trump, not unusually for presidents, seems more interested in his own political goals and obsessions," writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis https://cnn.it/4rH6q87

The new National Security Strategy praises Europe’s populist right parties. How are the centrist governments in Europe, who see those parties as a grave threat, then supposed to treat America as an ally?

You're literally helping Russian linked Reuters spread the list of names the far right want targeted for harassment, ffs.

Why are so many on our side so clueless of even the basic methods of authoritarianism.
Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns
Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

What a stupid hot take. You were mad because your boy sported Nazi tatts, but instead of simply conceding it like an adult, you added random jabs at Dems, like an adolescent.

There were 2 (count with me, 2) candidates left in the Fetterman race. Would voting red somehow made it better?

Funny how reactions are different based on bias. None of them can stop what’s happening. Only an election can stop this madness.

This was good until I went back and read it in the style of "We Didn't Start the Fire."

Then.. it was brilliant.
"Fed cuts, Trump yells, stagflation rings the bells.
Tariffs on, tariffs off, chaos makes the markets scoff.
ICE raids, tech lost, foreign know-how pays the cost.
Crony firms, startups burn, long-run damage is our turn."

Elon Musk has shared an obviously AI-generated image of the Unite the Kingdom rally in London.

The first AI error is that the Arc de Triomphe is in Paris, not London. And once you zoom in, you'll notice that the Union Jacks and the crowd have other errors typical of AI images.
