"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

A tweet describing Nancy Pelosi’s response to a question about Trump depicting himself as Jesus, with a video still of Pelosi speaking at an event.

Perfection.

They lie about everything

America's right-wing in a single exchange. It's perfect.

Is there an option of not picking a fight with the Pope, or would that be seen as disloyalty?

the leader of SECDEF Pete Hegseth's church held a conference announcing their vision (read: plan) of an america that bans non-"christian" religions, allows slavery, banning 'public' expression of LGBT identity, arguing for a "sexual gestapo" (their words), broadly banning women's vote, etc...

I don't think it's a "problem" that there are fewer teen pregnancies. I think fewer teen pregnancies is a good thing, actually,

Reporter: Iran is not listening to your threats about opening the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump: How do you know that?

Reporter: Because it’s still blocked. Are they reopening it?

Trump: Why do you say that? You don’t know anything.

Nessel: I think Trump is setting this up to say that, if and when the Democrats are likely to retake both chambers, it’s fraudulent, so people won’t believe the actual results—and that might turn into the elections not being certified in states like Michigan

And it somehow gets even worse. Judge Christensen also exchanged CSAM with a man named Ned Brady Hansen—former fire chief—who got caught.

Then In January 2025, Christensen released Hansen, despite prosecutors asking for him to be held without bail.

Review every case this judge ruled on. Every one.

This is former Utah judge Kevin Christensen, charged with 8 counts of child sexual abuse. He's pled to 3 counts, and faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not undocumented.

He is, however, an elected Republican official.

NO FIGHTS TODAY

GOD BLESS THE ASTRONAUTS

WE RENEW THE EFFORT TOMORROW

A vintage-style graphic celebrating the Artemis II mission. At the top, the names KOCH, WISEMAN, HANSEN, and GLOVER are printed in gold, separated by stars. Below the names are profile portraits of the four astronauts in their orange flight suits and helmets, facing inward toward each other. In the center, between the two pairs of astronauts, a rocket ascends into a dark blue, starry sky, leaving a bright trail of fire and smoke behind it. The bottom half of the image features a large, detailed view of the moon’s cratered surface. Overlapping the moon is the word "CONGRATS" in large, bold yellow letters. Below it, the text "TO THE CREW OF ARTEMIS II" is written in a clean white and pink sans-serif font.

Welcome home, Artemis II 🇺🇸

Artemis II splashes down, returning to Earth After the first crewed flight to the moon in more than 50 years, the Orion spacecraft and its four astronauts splashed down near San Diego.

Let’s toast those astronauts.

Then let’s wake up tomorrow and remind every American of what we all stand to lose to this regime.

Science is good. We should fund it.

“.. They have written that they feel betrayed by the expanding war in Iran and ashamed when Mr. Trump used an expletive on Easter .. Some were so perplexed by his military interventions that one declared they “make zero sense.”

A tweet from Insider Paper quotes Spain’s Prime Minister saying the country will not applaud those who “set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket,” referring to a ceasefire.

Beautifully put.

As I’ve said: We elected the one person in the whole world who is NOT interested in reading the President’s Daily Brief.

“.. He said they were protected by little more than a thin layer of vertical standing blast barricades .. Asked to describe the degree of fortification, he responded: ‘I mean, I would put it in the none category. From a drone defense capability … none.’”

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

We're due for another absolutely bugfuck prime time presidential address so Donald can tell us how we won the iran war and hormuz is opened and the ship captains need to have some balls and just go full blast through musandam.

U.S. service members who survived Iran's attack on a U.S. base dispute Hegseth's claim that the drone was a "squirter" that got through a fortified unit:

"Painting a picture that 'one squeaked through' is a falsehood. I want people to know the unit was unprepared to provide any defense for itself."

shrouded figure on CBS

CBS News has a bombshell interview with a U.S. soldier who survived the deadly attack in Kuwait on the first day of the way -- he says Pete Hegseth is lying about the attack and that the base "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

The TACO Trade is quite real. 🌮

Over the 300-plus trading sessions since Trump took office, “9 of the 10 biggest gains have had to do with relief over tariffs or Iran. Owning stocks on just those days would have earned an investor 52% on their money ..”

OIL TANKER ATTEMPTING HORMUZ PASSAGE TURNED BACK TO GULF WATERS - SNN

“There is an uptick in traffic in the strait today”

She knows it’s only 3 ships. Before the war? 135 ships/day.

Seems like Iran is still calling the shots.

I'd genuinely prefer if he was just up front about how much cruelty is the point here
