looking good sir

I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!

Campaign finance reform, including overturning Citizens United, must outlaw this kind of deceptive behavior.

If I had my way, we would restrict political spending to parties and candidates only.

First Draft: 🇨🇺 Is Cuba Next? Trump’s administration is discussing plans to attack and kidnap Cuban leaders, while also turning down an offer from Iran to end the war. Plus: Republicans debate whether to hate... the pope.

Dear G! 

How are you? 

Nice story about J. E. in New York mag, you look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time!

Love, Melania

In case you're wondering why Melania is suddenly talking about Epstein... An Epstein victim told the FBI she recalled seeing Epstein introduce Melania and Trump at a modelling agency.

Please buy @michaelehayden.bsky.social’s book because I’m running out of ways to promote it using my cats. Or more accurately I think they’re getting sick of being used as props.

Showing up at Saturday greenmarkets all across the country and asking vendors if they've "got any lung meat" in a voice that sounds like a skillet falling down a flight of stairs.

What Happened to the SPLC—and Me Union breaking, Gaza, and fear of MAGA turned the SPLC into an organization that abandoned its own civil rights principles.

New: I wrote about how the SPLC let union breaking and fear of MAGA drive it away from its own civil rights principles.

After I spoke up about Gaza, the SPLC disciplined me and terminated my employment—leading to a discrimination settlement: substack.com/home/post/p-...

hypocrisy negates that. if you’re bleating about trans people and drag queen story hours while cross dressing in private, you are fair game. it’s an easy rule.

ICE agents will be stationed outside Marine Corps graduation events in South Carolina As the U.S. continues to fight the war in Iran, the Marine Corps has boosted protection measures on bases, requiring everyone to present REAL IDs, passports or birth certificates to access any sites.

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Your data is everywhere. The government is buying it without a warrant Data brokers buy up huge amounts of information from cell phones and browsers to sell for targeted advertising. But the government, including ICE, also buys the data.

No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

Judge Daniels: What's the most defamatory statement you've got?
Garson: The cover. Bought. Owned. Cashing in. That he says he will follow the money and name names.
Judge: It's hyperbole.

The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

The NYPD is not required to protect New Yorkers, city lawyers argue in court filing The argument came in response to a claim filed by Amanda Luci, who alleged NYPD officers failed to protect her from a mob of young men and boys who attacked her in Crown Heights in 2025.

“New Mexico got a historic $375 million jury verdict in the first of several cases nationwide against Meta.”

Yesterday I heard a “did Instagram make your teen depressed? Join our class action lawsuit” ad on the radio. Knives are out. I hope every state and every parent sues Meta into oblivion.

It is very funny the trump officials who clearly immediately got rid of signal after signalgate and are now… back on it lop

Joe Kent ~ @joekent16jan19 X.com After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Director of National Intelligence National Counterterrorism Center President Trump, After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation. In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS. Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again. As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved vife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation of to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for.…

Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigns over Iran war.

In Illinois’ Democratic primaries, a test for the pro-Israel community Democrats will be choosing whether to nominate moderate-minded lawmakers, or elevate potential future members of the far-left Squad

JI: "A source close to AIPAC said, the group’s main goal in the primaries is to prevent six candidates – Peters, Collins, Ahmed, Bankole, Abughazaleh and Amiwala."

AIPAC spent over $1.4M running ads against Biss, now another $1.2M opposing Kat and now ads backing Amiwala, but want her to lose 😵‍💫

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

The screaming subtext here is a call for ethnic cleansing, in a healthy pluralistic government he’d be censured and expelled
