GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

Margaret, thank you for posting this. It is so important that victims KNOW they are not alone. The abuse is NOT their fault. It’s unfortunately more common than anyone thinks. I’m certain the mistreatment of the Epstein victims is triggering for many.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Telling someone they have to pay $1,000/month in premiums for the next 12 months but they’ll get $10,000 of it back when they file their taxes 15 months from now doesn’t do them any good if they only earn $30,000/yr to begin with.

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

Gift link for anyone who wants it.

And this reading between the lines makes sense. The sources for the story are likely people high up in the Pentagon who oppose Hegseth's illegal orders. This is what it looks like when they fight back. (Open opposition likely would get them removed and replaced.)

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Reminder:

SDNY "was running an active investigation into Jeffrey Epstein[’s] ... coconspirators. In January [2025], SDNY prosecutors were ordered to transfer the Epstein case files to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. ... the investigation into co-conspirators has inexplicably ceased."

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were

I'm not letting this go. It seems like it should be a much bigger deal that the President of the United States admitted on live TV Sunday night that he has no idea who he's pardoning — that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to. Why is the media ignoring this corruption?

For the love of God, can just one interviewer push back on this insanity?

There are people seeking political asylum in America. They were not taken out of mental asylums in other countries and brought here.

It's a big mistake with big ramifications, but no one wants to correct Our Special Boy.

TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America
