"One of our two major parties is dominated by extremists dedicated to destroying the social contract, and the other party has been so enfeebled by two decades of collaboration with the donor class it can offer only feeble resistance to the forces that are devastating everyday people."
-Bill Moyers

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats.

He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”

Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

I’m still in disbelief that so many MAGAs are scared of everything and everybody. It’s sad how Trump too a whole group of people and made them afraid, all while convincing them it was actually “alpha”

14er number 3: Mount Bierstadt. Really nice hike to the summit!

Hegseth reportedly fires the DIA chief, pushing Pentagon purge to a ridiculous new level The Defense Intelligence Agency told the White House what it didn't want to hear. Soon after, Pete Hegseth reportedly fired the head of the DIA.

Must have provided an honest, reliable intelligence analysis. Getting fired by this administration is a badge of honor, tbh.

Holy shit.

Trump struggled to walk in a straight line as he went to greet Putin

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here.

The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

I think we could solve these issues with a Ministry of Truth. 🧐

Why is the FBI patrolling DC instead of releasing the Epstein files? Just another manufactured distraction. Sad!

I was one of the columnists who left the Post after owner Jeff Bezos demanded the Opinion section largely focus on “personal liberties and free markets." Yes, they’re under pressure. But maybe these leaders kinda like what Trump’s doing.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Science is effectively dead in the US for at least the next 3½ years, and will then take another several years to even get started again. Canceled research doesn’t just uncancel itself, and scientists who find opportunity elsewhere won’t just come flocking back.

The damage is generational.

Completed my first 14er yesterday at Mt Elbert - the highest peak in Colorado (but one of the easier ones to hike up)

We said release the files not the accomplices, idiot.
