🤢 Watching the EU leaders sitting there, indulging fascism and narcissism and insanity, makes me vomit. All (except the Brit) articulately speaking a language not their own. Thank god they all realized, as did most watching, that they came to humiliate, and manipulate, the dangerous American fool.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.
The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity
In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Watching Boise State game, and they keep saying it is raining at the stadium. I'm 3 miles away, and it's dry as a bone at my house.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

No they don’t.

Probable cause. In immigration context.

This is completely illegal.

Stop believing what the liars if trump world say.

No they aren’t. They can’t just detain people without probable cause. These are abductions. And local authorities should treat them as such.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Nope. Listen to the whole clip - she blames the ACA “Obamacare.” She’s just pandering to her voters.

Even the normalization deals that many people pretend were great successes helped pave the way to the current war. Trump lit the fuse and happened to be out of office when the explosion came. That’s not success.

You have to engage in some very dishonest cherry-picking to look back at Trump’s foreign policy in the first term and declare it a success. Was his policy of backing the Saudis to the hilt in Yemen a success? No, it was an atrocity against the people of Yemen. Funny how that doesn’t come up.

Trump’s first-term foreign policy was riddled with one failure after another. Almost everything he attempted either fizzled out or blew up in his face. Don’t let this garbage revisionism stand.

In his foreign policy, Trump launches illegal attacks, murders people, and starts pointless and destructive trade wars. Is that what Douthat wants at home? Because he’s already getting it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

The #MAHA movement reveals concerning parallel patterns of how anti-science sentiment, mythologized returns to imagined golden ages, and centralized power can intersect to create dangerous political movements disguised as health initiatives.

It is so bad I’m literally gasping. This post gives you the throughline going back to the 1930s. It’s so predictable and discouraging, yet calling it out is a necessary precondition for dealing with it?

On Oct. 11, 1975, Saturday Night Live debuted.
One of the most influential programs in television history, the success of that first season owes a lot to the many Canadians who were involved in the show.
These are some of those individuals!

The man on the left wears a suit and tie, leaning forward, while the man on the right, in a floral shirt and blazer, lounges casually. Behind them, several individuals, including a woman with long hair and others in casual attire, are seated or standing, with framed pictures and a lamp visible on the walls.
