Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
Have to be clear just how dangerous this is. If it continues, it effectively removes constitutional rights from an entire class of people. Imagine you had to fear that if you criticize the regime, any error on paperwork filled out by your family decades ago could be used to strip your citizenship.
KRISTI NOEM: I'm confident Ilhan Omar will finally be held accountable for her crimes?
BENNY JOHNSON: What are those crimes?
NOEM: When people apply to come to this country, if you go back and find that anything could be wrong or misrepresented, that's when it voids or cancels their citizenship
Ignoring the offensiveness of this being paid for by taxpayers, the actual visuals are so podunk. It starts zoomed in on a storage room with the sign “Storage”. The industrial exit sign is in the background. They threw it in B&W for an air of seriousness. It’s juvenile
BLANCHE: AI has a lot of benefits. The fact that AI is able to understand what you want, where you want to shop -- you don't know it, but you actually benefit from that
CAMPOS DUFFY: I don't want that!
BLANCHE: I know you think you don't, but it's not all bad
CD: I don't want my govt spying on me
I have seen the Reacher finale. Bad guys lost, kitten returned, ended with an uplifting rock song I just know my Boomer dad turned the volume up for. Total success
I grew up in the DC area and was part of a local theater club. The highlight of the year was an awards show for high school theater, voted on by local kids in DC and NoVa, hosted at the Kennedy Center. It’s been such a huge part of the local community for a long time; its treatment now is a tragedy
Equatorial Guinea is a dictatorship run by the same man since 1978, with his children running large portions of the state now. We paid this dictatorship millions of dollars to let us deport random people there. Our money was used for this inhumanity.
AN URGENT EXCLUSIVE: Ahmed Soliman, the 30-year-old gay man ICE expelled in April to Equatorial Guinea, a country he has no ties to, was arrested this morning and cannot be located, his attorneys say. They fear he may be in one of EG's torture prisons. prospect.org/2026/09/11/i...
The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.
It's unconscionable to treat people who were here legally literally yesterday like this. It's not just that it's morally bankrupt to rescind the TPS order. It's fucking shameful to bait and switch other human beings who came here for refuge and have done nothing wrong other than existing.
This is sickening. Even #Ohio's Republican governor says the #Haitians have revitalized Springfield, but #ICE is jailing them, and planning deportations. #Haitiwww.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/u...
RFK told Dana Bash that Lyme disease “almost certainly” came from gain of function research.
Which is utterly false. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...
By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”
They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.
