The Trump administration just removed two national holidays (MLK and Juneteenth) as free entry days to National Parks and put his birthday as a free day instead. Yes, this is actually real.

CBS paid 150 million dollars to turn their news division into Bari Weiss talking with members of her group DM.
Three months after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated, Erika Kirk will open up about life, loss, the state of political discourse and more in a one-hour town hall event moderated by Bari Weiss, CBS News' editor-in-chief.

Yes, Katie, you should be outraged because we are not supposed to just take on faith a federal government using lethal force with no evidence that the targets of the action are indeed who it claims it is. Be outraged that, conveniently, the lethal force makes it impossible to
Am I really supposed to be outraged we’re double tapping drug boats full of vicious cartel members, aka narco terrorists? Because I’m not and won’t be. In fact, more please. Long overdue.

@atrupar It’s the glee that I can’t understand. Even if the guys in the boats are as guilty as the Trump administration claims, the fact that Hegseth and friends find joy in killing them is very disturbing. It’s not a video game, these are people that are dead.

According to Reuters, Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 Million. In the first half of 2025 it significantly increased to $864 Million, most of it from foreigners. Trump is the most corrupt president ever and the GOP is silent.

Black folks begged Dearborn to consider how Trump would attack our community if and when he was re-elected and they told us to fuck off so I'm not sure why you refuse to acknowledge this.
Dearborn begged Kamala Harris and Joe Biden to stop funding Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Both Harris and Biden gave their Muslim constituents the middle finger. I don’t understand why liberals refuse to acknowledge this.

I take Wikipedia for granted. But reading this interview with @jimmy_wales reminded me what a remarkable and important creation it is. A true pillar of civilization. And costs only $200 million a year. Requires our support. I’m finally donating. Gift link:

Your colleagues gargle Trump's balls in their mouth every fucking day, there's literally a photo of him mugging it up with Maggie Haberman in the Oval Office. Miss me with your self-righteous high-mindedness when your employer STILL refuses to call Trump a liar.
Incredibly strong move by The Times' leadership to file this suit against the Pentagon. Those of use left in the media need to be doing more than just the bare minimum of defending our First Amendment Rights in court. We need to be using ALL legal tools available to us to defend

Six lies in one tweet: 1) This is not the Pentagon press corps. 2) There is no “Dept of War,” that’s a fake name. 3) Nobody asked tough questions. 4) This is not journalism, it’s play acting & propaganda. 5) There was no transparency, by design this prevents it.
Today, we welcomed the NEW Pentagon Press Corps to the @DeptofWar Briefing Room. They asked tough questions & didn’t hold back. It was a great day for journalism & transparency.

All these reasons why they cover Democrats this way but no answers on specifics: why Clinton email servers front page but not for GOP officials? Biden’s age is crisis, then say little of Trump snoozing in public? 1000s of Hunter corruption stories then muted on Trump Jr, Kushner?
If you’re a voter wondering “how are these our options” or a regular D wondering if national Ds ignored warning signs about Biden’s age (I asked! they did!), I have a podcast to recommend!!!!

The same people who had an aneurysm about Lloyd Austin going AWOL for two days are going to defend Hegseth, the most reckless and unqualified SECDEF in history, to the bitter end. /1

Hegseth may not survive this. I am serious. Part of the issue is plenty of conservatives are ex-military, and probably 95% of the military thinks you don't shoot at people holding onto flotsam in the ocean. That makes the Right Wing BS Machine ineffective here.
Wow. "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.” - Newsmax's Judge Napolitano
