still think that Ds making Piker a campaign issue is pointless and counterproductive, but hard to be thrilled about his place in the discourse when he talks this way.

The quote fits Kegstand perfectly.

A timely reminder from Carl Sagan

I feel like Sun Tzu really missed out on "Invent Pete Hegseth and give him to the enemy"

The lies
The illegal wars
The abuse by ICE
The grifting
The inflation
The destruction of the White House
The political prosecutions
The delusional behavior
The bizarre social media posts
The threats of genocide against Iran

We can end it all
And it begins with Virginia

Just as Obama Denounced Rev. Wright, Catholics Should Denounce Trump The 44th president made a tough call for the sake of his campaign. Trump supporters should make a similar one for their own salvation.

Bingo! If he isn’t the Antichrist, he’s giving it his best shot. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

You can have MAGA, or you can have competence, folks. It's nearly impossible to have both.

Trying to cram human beings into warehouses, as if they were spare TV trays or the crappy dresser that nobody wants. Just one more way the Trump administration’s ICE goons are dehumanizing immigrants

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

🚫 Criticizing Israel ≠ anti-Semitism.

Most Jews have never even been to Israel.
You can’t make Israel speak for all Jews
and you can’t hold Jews accountable for what Israel does.

The real danger?
Letting Israel redefine anti-Semitism to silence truth.

They’re going to re-invent this wheel I guess

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.

It would turn journalism into fast food, and create a star system. (There's a reason almost no one makes money on Substack, except for the very top people.)

PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?

RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war

MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly

RFK Jr: It's not my department

Never forget : Annie Machon, a former MI5 agent, reveals how Mossad setup a false flag by bombing their own Israeli embassy in London in 1994 and blamed it on Palestinian activists

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.

We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.

Trump has no plan to cut the $39 trillion national debt, but he does want to cut childcare. His budget director is scrambling to clarify | Fortune OMB Director Russell Vought appeared before Congress to answer questions about the request for the largest military spending boost since World War II.

No money to feed new moms and babies. No money for child care.

Trump's budget isn't just fiscally irresponsible — it's a slap in the face to our most vulnerable Americans. bit.ly/4vNNMxJ
