The fact none of these people were fired and blacklisted from working in relevant fields ever again is beyond my comprehension
I feel fairly confident in saying that this raid will cost the United States literally billions of dollars. We cannot be trusted. I am ashamed of my country.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Nobody in America seems to care about this, but we apparently killed innocent North Korean fisherman in this operation, and they were killed not because they posed a threat but because we basically wrote overly broad rules of engagement like the old "free fire zones" in Vietnam.

The worst part of this is that Tim Cook doesn't have to do this...and he does it anyway.

If folate deficiencies really did cause autism, then you would expect to see a sharp drop in the autism-by-birth-year curve in 1997, when folic acid fortification was mandated. Instead, the curve continued its upward trend unabated.

The Japanese have not, in fact, done this. And the entire Japanese government budget request for this year is $831 billion (122.45 trillion yen) so color me just slightly skeptical that Tokyo wrote the President of the United States a blank check for the equivalent of 66% of the…

It’s almost as if Trump and Hegseth haven’t the faintest fucking clue how to defend a nation. politico.com/news/2025/09/0…
A nice, concrete example of US norm decline under Trump👇 In his first term, he tried this but backed off under public criticism. Now he doesn’t care; his profiteering off of the presidency is out in the open. Congress & the media will barely object.More bad behavior normalized

The media relentlessly downplayed Biden's objectively good economy, tanking his presidency. They don't bring nearly as much smoke for their sugar daddy even though his policies are leading DIRECTLY to a recession. It really is infuriating.

Completely incredible. Lutnick and Trump brag about getting South Korea to invest billions in the U.S., then turn around and arrest South Koreans who were here temporarily in the U.S. to help Hyundai set up a factory in Georgia. The stupidity burns.

This is, even for him, amazingly stupid and an insult to the thousands who died in Korea and Vietnam and the other conflicts we were too "wokey" to win. But then, can't expect any better from a man who thinks American war dead are "suckers" and "losers."

It's a bad number. Just 22,000 jobs, and with revisions June went negative to -13,000. Worse, deeper into the data you can see that the theory of Trumponomics is failing. It's not too late to change course, but it would require dramatic action they won't take. Let's dig in. /1
Hillary Clinton is the perfect example of that dynamic I’ve been talking about where people are called inauthentic when they’re actually authentic because people just want a reason to dislike you. It’s the “Don’t Make Me Like Her” concept.

Part of the re-writing of Covid history has been to observe that the establishment got a lot of stuff wrong without checking to see how accurate their critics were — making decisions in real time based on uncertain information is, unfortunately, pretty hard.
