This is why people like AOC become so popular. Your average politician can make statements, but somehow, even when they project the right sentiment, can’t seem to figure out how to actually enact changes.. even when they’re 100% in their control to make.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

Sharks on hoverboards is some next level shit.

Do we even train our armed forces for this?

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 23h

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

I told you yesterday in video and written format - there is no peace deal.

Hamas said they won’t disarm - I showed you the video of their leader.
Israeli defense minister tweeted about “cleansing Gaza” - showed you the tweet.

Now you have both sides blaming each other ⬇️

It's really simple

Voters want an opposition party that will fight for them, and democracy, like there's no tomorrow

Dem elites want a members-only social club where polite, dues-paying members who they like to see at cocktail parties get rewarded with plum roles www.politico.com/news/2025/10...
