RFK, Jr.: "It's amazing how quickly the flu spreads in crowded classrooms. It's a total mystery. No one knows why."
PETE HEGSETH: "It's a well known fact that the flue *can't* spread in a crowded submarine. Jesus said that. Or did I read it on the bottom of a beer bottle cap? Another mystery, man!"
OPEN THE STRAIT. CLOSE THE STRAIT. WE ARE BLOCKADING. LIFT SANCTIONS. IMPOSE NEW SANCTIONS. JD IS IN PAKISTAN. JD IS NOT IN PAKISTAN. STILL BLOCKADING. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT. THERE IS NO AGREEMENT THAT IS FAKE NEWS. BOMBING AGAIN SOON (MAYBE)!
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
I would like a Secretary of Defense who has read one (1) book on the history of warfare; preferably one that discusses the impact of disease on armies.
This is already demonstrably incorrect. And Wright isn't even dead yet.
If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
What is the German word for when all three of these women cabinet secretaries absolutely deserved to get fired and yet pretty much all the men cabinet secretaries and FBI director drunks do too. And yet .... 🤔
She is awful and should be fired but man that is three women out of the Cabinet and not a single guy
Right? Why not Pete "I LOSE WAR" Hegseth? Why not Bobbie Brainworms?
Another translation: there is no deal and he's full of shit.
If he says there's a deal being made with Iran, ask Iran if that deal's being made.
Are *Acting* cabinet members part of the line of succession, or just Senate-confirmed ones? Todd Blanche isn't officially Attorney General.
I study racist politicians from the Jim Crow era and this is on par with anything that John Rankin, Theodore Bilbo, or Cotton Ed Smith ever said in public
WOW. THE WINNING. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP SIR. WE CANNOT HANDLE ANY MORE OF THIS GOLDEN ERA!!
New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.
He’s just burning your tax money.
By a wide margin the least offensive thing about John Fetterman is refusing to wear a suit. I find it telling when people rage about it- who cares. Let's focus on the fact he has turned into a garbage human.
And honestly, shredding the illusion of decorum in that worthless senate is ok.
Donald Trump is his lord and savior, and the Pope offended against that.
Don’t be fooled. Hannity is merely confirming the obvious: his politics mattered more than his faith.
I'm sorry, but as someone whose father died of cancer when I was 13...yes, that's very hard, but it's not an excuse for anti-vax idiocy, testimony about brainworms, or any of the other bullshit RFK Jr. has, and continues to, inflict upon the public.
If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.
Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.
Sean Hannity, the Fred Flintstone of shameless propaganda, has declared he will no longer be a Catholic because he worships Donald Trump—and the money it brings in—more.
Sean had to declare publicly that he will no longer be following his faith—because how else would anyone be able to tell?
There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
Oh come on @theguardian.com, no need to over analyze this. It's about one thing: the Pope criticized him. There's nothing deeper or religious about it.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani.
Obama: What’s his first name?
Child: Mayor.
In July 2023 (Austral winter!) I had an unplanned overnight delay in Melbourne (which is cold and rainy then) on my way to Townsville which is warm but not hot and pleasant then). Flying from SFO, I had a long-sleeve shirt because July, SFO...happily I kept that shirt in my carry-on.
And from the "Annals of Being Surprised that Water is Wet," a new study found that ICE has been hiring people with "questionable qualifications" and histories of lying to frame innocent people.
Seriously, though, it is good that they did the careful study even though the results are obvious.
JD Vance is bragging about cutting weapons to Ukraine while cozying up to authoritarians. This isn’t America First, this is America Last. I unpack all of this in my Week In Review on my YouTube page: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsI_...
Right? What if there's an overnight flight delay?
