One of the most telling pics of the year ... so far.

There's only one perfect photo for this year's Earth Day, and it's this one that the Artemis II crew took. Happy Earth Day.

Two IDF soldier giving 30 days military detention after they were photographed smashing a statue of Jesus. FFS they are shooting children in the head! But a statue violation is worthy of more?

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

It seems like a Prime Minister who continues to get his corruption trial delayed for years because his government is engaged in wars has a personal incentive to keep wars going as long as possible.

"She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide..."

"One of her children recently enlisted in the military...

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Child: I know your name. Mamdani.

Obama: What’s his first name?

Child: Mayor.

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.

The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.

The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.

It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

General Rule of Thumb:

If a president doesn't like dogs, he/she is going to make a crummy president.

ICE And The Absence Of Accountability Earlier this month, at the notorious state-run immigration detention facility in Florida dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by state officials, there was another incident.

In Maine, ICE brazenly called their operation “catch of the day.” The banal inhumanity of it all is overwhelming. The deaths, the injuries, the conditions in detention, the brazen disregard for people’s rights, including American citizens. And it’s still happening.

We live to fight another day! A victory tonight—as we killed a backroom deal Johnson and the WH cut to extend FISA authority for five more years. Dropped in the middle of the night.

We killed it on the Floor. But, it will be back. So we must keep fighting!

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

NEWS: Two U.S. Navy destroyers were forced to turn back while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened them and launched a drone toward the ships, per Bloomberg citing a regional intelligence official. 1/

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Picture of the century. 😍

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

I’m actually pretty stoked for Viktor Orban to lose his election in a week. Will be very satisfying.

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.

For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

The Generals are gone.
The AG is gone.
We started a war.
Gas is up.
Healthcare is up.
Prescriptions are up.
The rich are richer.
The poor are poorer.
Protesters have been killed.
Service members have been killed.
The law is a suggestion.
The constitution is a memory.

We. Are. Not. Okay.
