The Dread Pirate Trump (also known as the Sleepy Swashbuckler, Commodore Comatose and the Bleary Buccaneer) is disgracing the US Navy and this country. The Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine is apparently that we are now the meddling rogue colonialist power that Monroe feared.

Love the whistles, jeers and horns honking in the background. There should be a similar crowd surrounding every ICE/CBP action.
Tense afternoon in Kenner, outside of New Orleans, as protesters followed Greg Bovino and Border Patrol around a neighborhood around 3pm today.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

This is the head of United States Special Operations Command, which oversees the military’s special operations in more than 80 countries. He thought the command to “kill everyone” was a normal and legal one. So killed everyone. #hegseth #killeveryone #warcrime

I am sorry but if you are a combatant commander and you get outmaneuvered this badly in a bureaucratic knife fight with Pete fucking Hegseth you need to go ahead and do The Honorable Thing
WAPO: “.. Officials in Congress and the Pentagon said Monday they are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill two survivors of a targeted strike ..”

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

What about the kids actually dying of whooping cough and pertussis due to lack of vaccines
Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.
FDA to impose strict new vaccine requirements, claiming child covid shot deaths
Vinay Prasad, the nation’s top vaccine regulator, said his team concluded that coronavirus shots were linked to children’s deaths, necessitating a new approach.

If I wanted to speed run a dystopian dark age, I would:

- close public libraries
- enshittify the internet to the point of unusability
- end childhood vaccinations
- reserve healthcare for the rich
- cut humanities programs at universities
- pour the nation's wealth into AI companies

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I don’t understand why Dems have to choose? “Trump is a corrupt billionaire pedo whose self-serving policies have made your life more expensive” is not that hard of a message imo
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow.

He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed.

He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage.

It’s enraging.

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

I realize this isn't breaking news but it's insane that voting has begun and Chuck Schumer — leader of the Democratic party — is straight-up refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for mayor, whose opponent is an alleged serial sexual abuser funded by Trump-allied billionaires

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I am begging the mainstream media to talk less about the East Wing & more about the loss of SNAP funding for the next few days.

The East Wing is gone. We can’t change that.

We *can* help people prepare for the loss of SNAP.

We can urge folks to donate to food banks.

We can give them warning.
