It's been 3 years. And if you you had a single functioning neuron somewhere in your brain matter, Putin, you would know that you will NEVER, EVER defeat these people, you pathetic little bitch.

Pleased to speak with @nslayton.bsky.social of @taskandpurpose.com about the detention and repatriation of the survivors of the latest U.S. strike in the Caribbean

“There is no armed conflict, so these survivors can’t be held as law of war detainees.”

United States releasing survivors of latest airstrike in the Caribbean currently held by the Navy

O'Donnell nails it when he says it was Hegseth, not the media, who tried to steal thunder from the military when he sought to hand to Trump the glory of "directing the most complex and secretive military operation in history."

The most complex/secretive op ever was D-Day, which led to Nazi defeat.

My undergrad degree is in chemistry, so I wasn't guessing. This is a common lab experiment in 1st yr college chem classes.

Not to mention that: 1) there would be many humidifier deaths in your scenario, and 2) a Bic lighter burns the same color outside when the humidity is 10% vs. when it is 70%.

Utterly unconscionable. I hope this family's punitive damages recovery is through the roof...far more than what the insurance provider saved.

Or use distilled water in the humidifier. The flame color here is due to minerals in tap water.

No, that was a lie, too. Rubio's parents came to America more than a year before Castro came to power. He's just a lying sell-out like the rest of the Trump Admin.

Who are US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s parents, Mario and Oriales Rubio?

Marco Rubio has been criticised for saying his parents fled Cuba when Fidel Castro came to power, even though they were granted permanent residency in the US several years before.

Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is now the most expensive court race in U.S. history — largely due to donations from out-of-state billionaires.

As Justice Louis Brandeis said, we can have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we can have democracy, but we can't have both.

I was elected in 2010 with Kristie Noem. She used to be kind, compassionate, and put her faith above any personal gain.

She like so many others, is now broken

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

Come celebrate how laws no longer apply to Republicans! 🎉

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · Mar 30

🎉 🤔A PARDON PARTY? — Wow, we’ve seen a lot in our 7 years, but this is a first.

MEMPHIS Republican ex-Senator Brian Kelsey was popped for campaign finance crimes, pleaded guilty, and did a whole 2 WEEKS in prison before Trump pardoned him… so next week he’s celebrating.

Goldberg: "Hegseth is promising that US warplanes are taking off in 30 minutes to bomb enemy targets that we know are protected by anti-aircraft batteries. If that's not the most sensitive information, the most secret info in the world, I simply don't know what the meaning of 'classified' is."

TY @sanders.senate.gov for leading a movement to save our Republic. @aoc.bsky.social & @timwalzparody.bsky.social are doing their part as are fiftyfifty.one & handsoff2025 [dot] com.

We need GOP leaders, too. Who'll step up? @lizcheney.bsky.social? Nikki Haley? Lisa Murkowski? Don Bacon? Paul Rand?
