Fox News Host Pete Hegseth Privately Lobbied Trump to Pardon Accused War Criminals The president isn’t just watching the network, he’s taking policy advice from its morning hosts.

I am going to remind u now of my 2019 scoop: www.thedailybeast.com/fox-and-frie...

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

Yessssssssss this is what we want

"The Wicker Man" by Sin Eater, 1973. (Link in the comments to this post.) An intricate black-and-white illustration. In the foreground is a dead hare surrounded by dense foliage, tall grasses, and detailed plants. Crows or ravens are flying around and perching in the barren branches of a tree that stretches across the background. On the left side, there is a tall wicker man with rays emanating from their head like a halo. Beneath them is a ladder or structure leading to the ground. The sky is swirling and stormy. The overall mood is ominous. Bottom text: FEED YOUR OPPRESSORS TO THE LAND.

You cannot trust the federal government Everything they say should be assumed to be a lie.

"The leadership of the FBI, DOJ, and DHS have proven their agencies are not capable of conducting investigations based on anything other than Trump’s political objectives. Simply put: the federal govt can no longer be trusted, & the Trump admin only has itself to blame." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

Trump claimed $50 million dollars worth of condoms was stopping from being shipped to Gaza for Hamas. If this was true, it would mean approximately 67,000 for each Hamas member.

It was for a country suffering from AIDS, Mozambique. The cost was approximately $10 million.

No more vaccines to prevent these in Florida. RIP

Florida surgeon general Joseph A. Ladapo announces end to vaccine mandates for children before going to school thereby almost certainly assuring many crippling diseases and deaths that could easily be prevented. The level of stupidity is staggering.

In the foreground, another school of brown fish swimming away from the scene. The text "Uncanny," "September/October 2025," "Issue Sixty-Six," and the credits are in white.
