It's so funny how these guys say "import the third world, become the third world" and then their own policy preferences end up converging with the taliban

I’m sorry, “yes we sourced a story using stolen personal data about a nonwhite politician brokered by a neonazi BUT the story illuminates the complex nature of racial identity” does not pass the laugh test

Really can’t hear anything more about a supposed masculinity crisis from men whose response to a powerful woman mocking the president is “Daddy should bomb you”
WATCH: “She better be careful - she could get a personalized bunker buster from Daddy Trump.”

VOA's Persian Service did not carry live President Trump's speech about bombing Iran. The few remaining staffers describe a catastrophic failure due to Kari Lake's removal of most of their colleagues. The video of the speech could not be uploaded to the VOA Farsi website for 12 hours.

They’re preemptively trying to blame Biden for any attacks on Americans that result from Trump’s war. Absolutely desperate.

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.
If ICE were acting entirely within the law and maintaining good conditions in all its facilities, they would not be turning Congresspeople away.

But they clearly aren't.

NIH is cutting research on mRNA vaccines.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya signed a petition calling for a halt on the vaccines & said many people view it as a "bad platform."

But in 2021 he wrote a white paper praising the technology as an example of the type of breakthrough science NIH should fund.

It's been overtaken by the Musk-Trump feud, but this session with Merz continues Trump's streak of the most embarrassing/appalling Oval Office meetings with foreign leaders in modern U.S. history.
MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe

TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day

MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

But I am assured by the major press that Biden's age is the major story, not attacks on rights and liberties.

It's so illustrative of the pettiness of fascism. An undercover ICE agent cuts a guy off then arrests him for honking his horn. Then they arrest his mother and threaten his wife and child when the family complains
Wait, it gets even WORSE. ICE was interested in this family because an agent wanted retribution against the father of the baby, who apparently had honked at the care of an undercover ICE agent the day before who had cut him off.

RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them

D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?
