looks like someone is about to win the “fell for it again” award
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

We killed people, random people, for absolutely no reason. It accomplished nothing. It had no concept of how to accomplish something. Just killing to feel macho

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then
Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.

This seems like a very bad development. Whether the claim that Maduro has been seized is accurate, or if it turns out to be some kind of false report, I expect nothing good to come of this. apnews.com/article/vene...
US strikes Venezuela and says its leader, Maduro, has been captured and flown out of the country
The United States hit Venezuela with a “large-scale strike” and said its president, Nicolás Maduro, had been captured and flown out of the country after months of stepped-up pressure by Washington.

I have spent too much of my life reading about the horrors of American history to want to go around waving flags but these people make me want to do it anyway, because our vision of what this place could be is so much better than theirs

stop handing the mantle of Real Americans to these traitorous dipshits
this is our country too and we have much more respect for it than they do
they don’t get the concept of patriotism, they don’t get the flag (they revere a traitor flag anyway), let ‘em move to Hungary if they love Orban so much

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

In an interview, President Trump—the oldest man to assume the office—said he has eschewed some advice from his doctors and regrets getting advanced imaging.

It's worth reading the whole interview in full. It basically verifies that the NYT has spent the past decade-plus doubling down on top-down narratives for coverage, getting more intense over time.
Sulzberg personally picked & chose whom the news apparatus would target and whom it would kiss up to.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Alright. Crap. I don’t know what I did. I guess I didn’t take a color photo. Shit. Now I’m freezing in this cornfield with a bunch of children, a collie and stupid Dan, who is a Jack in the Box.
It isn’t totally horrible. At least we have corn to eat.
But, fucking hell! Stupid Anthony!

Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.

For those unfamiliar with DC (and I barely am), Trump wants this on the VA end of the Memorial Bridge, blocking the deliberate open sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The *lack* of structures in that corridor is effectively part of the memorial
