Honestly, I'm surprised Hegseth still calls it the "Department of the Navy" and not the "Department of Aquamen" or something else a fifth grader would think sounded cool

No one will ever trust us again. In time of crisis, we will have no one who to whom we can turn, no one who will stand by our side. Day-in and day-out this administration betrays our allies and enables our enemies. It is perverse and nauseating.

‘Visibly upset and struggling’: Acting ICE head hospitalized twice over stress, officials say Several current and former officials blame intense pressure from the White House.

“Acting head of ICE Todd Lyons has been hospitalized at least twice for stress-related issues as he has carried out Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda…”

Make him seek health care in his own concentration camps.

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And if Pope Leo is really a Catholic, how come he hasn't written a book telling everyone like J.D. Vance did?

yeah it is critical that dems win the senate

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Arguing the state has a legally cognizable interest in promoting the impregnation of children.

I do not like to talk about someone’s looks but if I were Stephen Miller’s wife I would not be making this comment!

Why convert to Catholicism then say the Pope is wrong about theology?

If you want to be Christian without deferring to the Pope, there are many options.

Isn’t “the Pope is wrong, the Church is wrong, I’m interpreting scripture myself and communing directly with God” why we have Protestants?

I guess they’re interpreting “suffer the little children” as a commandment.

A tweet arguing that a statement about stopping aid to Ukraine will be remembered as part of a broader history involving Russia, with an image of JD Vance seated onstage during an event.

This man must never become president.

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.

This is a serious escalation.

Only true psychopaths are terrified that *TEEN* birth rates are down. Isn’t this one of the greatest successes of modern times?!

Also notable: How the Trump admin is only making it HARDER to have kids as parents, not easier.

#WarOnCatholics

All in on the new anti-papalism.

I’ve now seen multiple of these crackpots literally resorting to demonic possession rather than just admitting all the sane people were right about him being an erratic sociopath the whole time.

Pope: <recites Sermon on the Mount>

Trump Admin: HOW DARE YOU PERSONALLY ATTACK US LIKE THAT.

It’s almost like a coordinated talking point went out on Red Cross doctor Jesus H. Trump.

Story: In his second term, Mr. Trump seems even less restrained and more incoherent at times. He uses more profanity, speaks longer and regularly makes comments rooted in fantasy rather than fact. He keeps saying that his father was born in Germany when in fact he was born in the Bronx. He repeats an invented story about his uncle, an M.I.T. professor, telling him about teaching the terrorist known as the Unabomber. He wanders off into odd tangents — an eight-minute ramble at a Christmas reception about poisonous snakes in Peru, a long digression during a cabinet meeting about Sharpie pens, an interruption of an Iran war update to praise the White House drapes. He has confused Greenland with Iceland and more than once boasted of ending a fictional war between Cambodia and Azerbaijan, two countries separated by nearly 4,000 miles. (He evidently means Armenia and Azerbaijan). Even before lashing out at Pope Leo XIV on Sunday night, and then posting an image of himself as a Jesus-like figure before deleting it, Mr. Trump had shocked many with his outbursts at critics. He accuses those who anger him of sedition, a crime punishable by death. He claimed bizarrely that the Hollywood director Rob Reiner, who was allegedly stabbed to death by his son, was killed “due to the anger he caused” by opposing Mr. Trump. When Robert S. Mueller III, the former F.B.I. director and special counsel, died, Mr. Trump said, “Good, I’m glad he’s dead.”

Good to see this level of detail from @peterbakernyt.bsky.social in @nytimes.com

this is what's known as the "troll-and-roll."
provoke outrage, get called out, roll it into a new outrage.

This is a sign of a corrupt administration—failing to enforce financial crimes so plutocrats and cronies can get away with their larceny.

Very well put. Things come to an end, and how you navigate the end can be as important as the memories. Salah's should've taught fans and the club a lesson. I'm glad Andy had the clarity of thought to make and accept a good decision by both sides.

don't joke

Even less popular than a black woman. Imagine that.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Trump is a criminal, and a terrible human, and a narcissist, but the quality that is going to end up defining him is that he is extraordinarily stupid and doesn’t have even a thin grasp of the issues he’s meddling in. He’s like one of those inbred medieval kings who is incapacitated.

Harris has no business running again, imo

This vulgar monument to egocentrism. It looks like Godzilla shat third-rate Vegas casino architecture.

This is an incredible responde from the White House on this story -- essentially admitting it's true, and so what if Trump does it:

“The Wall Street Journal should learn to take a joke, however, the President’s pardon power is absolute,” Karoline Leavitt told the Journal.

Even Melania Trump is holding more solo press conferences than Joe Biden never did.
