Pentagon's No. 2 Spokesperson Has Long History of Antisemitic, Bigoted Social Media Posts Kingsley Wilson, the Pentagon's new deputy press secretary, has a yearslong history of making social media posts that traffic in a variety of extremist rhetoric, ranging from antisemitic conspiracy th...

You know you're in trouble when the official defending you from war crime charges often uses Nazi slogans (in German so you won't mistake it for coincidence) on X, calls Robert E. Lee, "One of the greatest Americans to ever live," and traffics in antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Iowa Moves to Shield Farmers, Ethanol Plants, From Lawsuits Over Emissions - Inside Climate News Climate lawsuits are a largely nonexistent threat to farmers in the state, but ethanol producers could benefit from the law.

A new law will make it harder to sue agricultural operations for the climate harms caused by their emissions. Is anyone trying to do so?

I watched her painful and heroic statement today and all I can say is there isn’t a place in hell deep enough and hot enough to serve as Swalwell’s eternal home.

More murder. Still no evidence ... just "trust me bro."

An administration that lies as much as this one does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I'm with this guy! #Leo #Peace #Pope #PopeLeo

I’m with him. It’s time for peace. #peace #popeleo

... Fortunately, I've located a picture of an actual threatening gorilla (right) that had visited the White House during a previous administration. It seems pretty clear that my description was accurate and so absent of malice. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #Trump #Gorilla

Earlier, I posted the image Donald Trump chose as his official portrait (left) that now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. I described it as his "threatening gorilla" pose and some objected, accusing me of disrespect.. (1 of 2)

Trump: The Strait will open up automatically. We'll open the Strait anyway. We don't use the Strait. It won't be easy. We will have that open fairly soon. You don't need a back up plan

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...

Two hours after posting this yesterday morning, it was out of date. Here's the most recent totals of Lebanese killed and wounded by Israeli bombs and missiles. I'm sure it'll be outdated in hours -- unless the US demands that Israel stops.

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

I suppose every American (who isn't blinded by unquestioning patriotism) in the last 75 years or so has their own "moment" of realization that their country's superpower status is waning. For me it was the Vietnam War. When was that moment for you?

Asked about Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon despite the ceasefire, Trump dismissed the question. "That's a separate skirmish," he said.

Seems like a good time for the media to run their ‘get every elected official on the record about whether they think the President is fit for office’ playbook. It was all they were doing in June-July 2024, so we know they know how.

Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
