So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Annual flu vaccine no longer required for U.S. military, Hegseth says The move alarmed some public health experts, who warned that it would weaken troop readiness.

NOT SO FUN FACT—half of all U.S. war casualties during WWI were due to influenza. Today—Trump’s War Secretary remove the flu vaccine requirement for all U.S. military. Plus, bragging about this to all enemies is just absolute idiocy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Prince died 10 years ago today. Here's a couple photos from that evening as people gathered to sing outside of First Avenue in Downtown Minneapolis. A photo from after George Floyd was murdered and a mural in Uptown seen in 2025.

US military service members will no longer be required to get annual flu shot Defense secretary Pete Hegseth makes announcement and calls military’s flu vaccine mandate ‘broad’ and ‘not rational’

As a former submarine guy I have to say this is a really fucking stupid move.

In his 1st term, F47 diverted billions from the military-- including funds designated for construction projects such as barrack repairs, school upgrades, and other facilities--to build the wall that Mexico was going to pay for.

What are the odds THIS makes it to the barracks maintenance, etc?

Reaction to Maj Gen Spider Marks saying "he bet every one of F47's predecessors wishes they had tried something like this [F47's actions against Iran]."

@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social Omg. 😶Your faces when Spider Marks said he bet every Pres before F47 wishes they had tried something like this!🙄☺️ Yikes!
Obama+ UN negotiated a very successful nuclear treaty with Iran. Lives and equipment weren't lost. The Strait was open. The economy wasn't upended.

You may disagree, but if the heads of our military don’t trust Trump to be in the Situation Room because he’s erratic, unfit, or dangerous…

HE SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT!

Simple as that. 😎✨

If that's what you got out of that snippet, then perhaps you need to work on your comprehension or perhaps context or hearing?

Huh. An ICE agent has been charged with assault. Others are being investigated. It takes time to build a case, especially when dealing with masked criminals.

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

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!

we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Opinion | New Hungarian PM says government was funding CPAC but won’t anymore “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place,” Péter Magyar said this week. “It was a crime.”

Not enough people are talking about this.

Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.

Stephen Miller claims the Democratic Party "controls its members through blackmail."

Methinks that Netanyahu and Putin control Donald Trump through blackmail in the Epstein files.

What happened to Amanda Ungaro spilling her truth about Trump, Melania and Epstein?

This is why we do it!

Big oil needs more money.

If our government was legitimate someone somewhere would realize that AI is going to lead to mass unemployment and be working hard at solutions or safety nets.

I still don't quite understand how industry thinks we will be consumers when we no longer have jobs to buy things.

Overthrow the Epstein Class

I see the media is determined to ratfuck Dems again.

When did they say that GOP electeds were responsible for the dozens of credible accusations made against Trump and ppl in his orbit ??

Why is it Dem electeds’ responsibility to have “known,” ie investigated & reported — and not REPORTERS !?
