Up until yesterday, my home state of Kentucky had the longest known cave system in the world with Mammoth Cave, but last night the Senate Democrats proved they in fact hold the record for longest known cave system in the world.
Fuck tariffs and fuck Trump. I don't know what we need to throw in a harbor this time around but it's gotta be something

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

I'll never call the Department of Defense the "Department of War", but not gonna lie, I'm into the idea of calling Hegseth the "Secretary of War Crimes"

PSA from one American (me) to other Americans: Y'all really, really gotta stop saying shit like 'we need people with power to stop Trump' -- YOU. That person is YOU. There's more of us than them *if we use that power*. What do you think 'we the people..' means here?

This is much more significant than a naval blockade. It violates a Venezuela's sovereign airspace. A commercial no-fly zone instituted by the US is an invasion and declaration of war.
Might be kicking off.

This statement is way outside of CIA’s lane and erosive of the ethical norm that intelligence should be non-partisan. If that norm vanishes, intelligence loses a very large portion of its value.

This (American) Thanksgiving day, I am thankful that I am Indigenous American and don't fall for colonizer whitewashed propaganda about holidays. (In case anyone was confused about what "the vibes I bring to the function" meme version I am. It's these vibes.)

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.

Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "I think it's important for people to know that they need to be able to stand up and speak out... I don't think there's anything more patriotic than standing up for the Constitution. And right here, right now, this week the president is clearly not doing that."

BREAKING:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.

This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

Good. But anyone who signed off on this has not earned the trust of the public to be in a position of public responsibility. They must resign or be fired.
