I've long believed 2016 Russian operation in US was most successful intelligence operation in recent history.
With disclosure that Durham investigation all predicated on disinformation, I double down on that opinion. Russia completely destroyed the United States.

Quick note to everyone pretending that Zohran Mamdani somehow favors communism, here’s the Republican president literally saying on camera that he wishes America were more like Communist China.
Anyone else notice that once they become magats they end up looking like some version of this?
The president of the UNC system wrote to the Senate supporting her: McMahon’s “longstanding commitment to service and strong belief in the enduring values of American higher education position her well for this critical leadership role.”
Pls, NC reporters, follow up with him on this attack of UNC.
My god. Jake is going on Megyn Kelly’s show and apologizing to Lara Trump?!
Dude just took a giant shit on whatever was left of his reputation.
Unfollow @jaketapper.bsky.social. Pass it on.
“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”
RFK Jr., everyone
I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.
Jeff Bezos, who spiked a WaPo endorsement of Harris and mugged for pictures at Trump's inauguration, wants everyone to know he does *not* bear any responsibility for this.
Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇
Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨
Congress could repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. They could. But the GOP is all in on the cruelty and the demonization of immigrants. All in, complicit, and too afraid of the tangerine tyrant to do the right thing. They are heartless and soulless, every one of them.

Eugenicists are so stupid.

Is it the theatrical release? The director’s cut was a lesser film.

If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command.

Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee.
Now we know that was a lie.
Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death.
America is back in the slave trade.
Imagine spending a half million dollars to attend Police State University, where you’ll get to experience NYPD brutality up close and where they might just revoke your degree for wrongthink even after you’ve graduated.
Imagine complaining that the opposing candidate was "bought and paid for" when your guy *literally* had the richest man in the world handing out checks for a million dollars for your guy.
The gutting of HHS and the CDC will literally and directly lead to the sickening and deaths of millions of Americans, and many more globally. Far more than that will suffer needlessly. This is horrific.
Dr. Oz want to gut Medicare — AND it looks like he cheated on his Medicare taxes.
Dr. Oz is once again demonstrating that he cannot be trusted to protect Medicare and Medicaid for millions of people.
I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.
I can't believe Big Balls, the Douche and Tommy Tuna could make a mistake like this, given their combined year of work experience.
