The US has been bombing the Middle East my entire life, and yet, here we are still bombing the Middle East. It hasn’t enriched my life any, but at least the executives over at Raytheon are getting paid. The rest of us are still in debt, struggling with bills, praying our sons

Children falling sick with measles, sex criminals walking free, his family gorging and growing fat with corruption, fellow citizens being gunned down in the street, prices soaring, and now a war being fought without the consent of the people. But her emails. But her laugh.

Remember all the people who thought being part of a dumbshow by a criminal president was a mistake by the hockey team? They all were right.
The White House's official TikTok posted an AI video of U.S. hockey star Brady Tkachuk calling Canadians "maple syrup eating f***s." Tkachuk addressed the video: "It's not my voice. It's not what I was saying. I would never say that. That's not who I am."

The right wing insists that our country can only be saved by voter ID -- while they also demonstrate they can revoke your ID at the drop of a hat with little more than a "sorry for the inconvenience." They're showing you the playbook page by page.
Transgender adults in Kansas have received letters ordering them to surrender their drivers licenses until they obtain a new one with a marker reflecting their sex assigned at birth. Their current licenses are now invalid. This also means trans people in Kansas currently

Spent the day reporting on the death of Rohinyga refugee Nurul Amin Shah Alam here in Buffalo. Watched his family bury him. A review of security camera footage shows Shah Alam never reached the "safe, warm" location where Border Patrol said they left him. Story coming soon.

Tiffany oughta go a half-hour up the road to Mosinee, where the Ahlstrom paper mill is shutting down two of four paper machines and its pulp mill and cutting 200 of 400 employees. So much for job growth in his district.
GOP gov candidate Rep Tom Tiffany ahead of VP JD Vance in Wisconsin touts President Trump’s State of the Union address and says one of the first things he’d do as gov in WI is eliminate tax on tips. Trump has endorsed Tiffany in gov’s race

The Johnny MAGA account, that pretends to be a black, pro MAGA account, that often posts racist propaganda, is actually run by Garrett Wade, a White House staffer.

If this is being correctly reported, it should be the lead story in the country. The Pentagon is legally prohibited from engaging in mass surveillance of Americans. It has a policy requiring human oversight of autonomous weapons. Is Hegseth threatening to disregard any of that?
At high stakes Pentagon meeting today Sec Hegseth gave Anthropic head Dario Amodei ultimatum to allow the Pentagon to use Anthropic’s AI model for mass domestic surveillance and kinetic autonomous operations without human oversight or face censure and be labeled “supply chain

.@DerrickVanOrden tweeted 91 times this weekend. He still refuses to hold an in-person town hall with his constituents. He will meet with residents of Virginia, though, roughly 1,000 miles away from any of his constituents.

Thinking about the hockey moms that spent over a decade of their lives driving their sons to and from hockey practice and games just for their sons to grow up to become Olympic gold medalists who laugh at misogynist jokes at the expense of women

Yet another reason the GOP and Heritage chose Hungary as a model for America!
Here's the documentary that 1.1 million Hungarians have watched over the past week. It investigates the damage that Viktor Orban's regime has done to health, education and public transportation in Hungary. With English subtitles: https://t.co/MswF1wk8qR

Hey….today was great. The USA got it done. Grand fun. Highly memorable. But I’m seeing a few folks comp it to 1980. No. Just…no. We were in a Cold War w/the Soviets. The Moscow Olympic boycott was looming over the invasion of Afghanistan. The Russians had shut out the NHL

You said you wanted Trump to run America like one of his businesses. He did. Debt exploded. Chaos everywhere. Reputation wrecked. Just like the rest of them. Congratulations you got exactly what you asked for.

I’m confused. Surely the difference this time is that the winner was the country whose government grabs stakes in private companies, directs investment to favored industries, imposes taxes on citizens without legislative authority and tries to muzzle domestic opponents?
Amazingly enough, 46 years later, the U.S. once again defeated the best hockey team a hostile, communistic power could put on the ice!

@Acyn He fails to realize that the complaint about hairspray isn't real, recent or relevant. Nobody has cared if he uses hairspray since 1978, when CFCs were phased out of aerosol cans. That's 48 years of not realizing people stopped giving a ****.

Remember that time the Pentagon's National Defense Strategy declared that the US had "obliterated Iran's nuclear program"? That was **checks notes** January 23, less than 30 days ago.
