Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Maybe I’m missing some nuisance here, but when I look at this banner ad that popped up on my screen a moment ago, my first thought was: “Fuck all the way off with this shit, Adobe! Humans have inherent value.”

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

🇮🇱 has a thuggery problem. It starts from the top. What a disgrace.

Trump: "I have some very severe problems"

Operation Southern Spear has resulted in the extrajudicial killings of 238 humans. By Trump’s admission, it’s causing fisherman to fear for their lives. So… not everyone who goes out in a boat is a drug trafficker?

2028 is too long to wait for this sexy beast.

Jim “Mad Money” Cramer looks at the last US economic data and contemplates the appeal of Marxism. Just wow.

If there were genres of political news stories, the one where women candidates are trashed and undermined for being too aggressive, bitchy, or chaotic is probably the worst.

Election in occupied areas by Russia - voting under military supervision.

Add it to the list of properties Trump has bankrupted. This one stings a little more than the Trump Taj Mahal. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

One of these days, a credible source (not the DOJ or the project contractor) will bravely and patriotically come forward with the irrefutable evidence that it was vandals that caused this mess. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/c...

Capitalism corrupts. Absolute capitalism corrupts absolutely. We are living in the time of maximalist capitalism and the extraction and consolidation of wealth, at every opportunity, by the richest people and corporations in the world.

Don’t you want a president that will order doctors to conduct surgeries on children’s genitalia? VOTE TRUMP 2028

perfect synopsis of modern Republicanism

Checking calendar.Yep , it’s Tuesday!

That pretty much sums it up right there.

“I mean it this time! I’m going to start counting! Okay, I’m counting!Three… two… one-and-three-quarters…” www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

This is the most cold-blooded takedown of the Trump administration I’ve heard in a while… and the call is coming from inside the house!

I’m going to tell y’all’s kids that this is Charlie Brown & Friends.

I've been saying for a while now that the most calorie-free news stories often have headlines starting with the words "Trump says ..."

🇩🇪 🔥 ouch — “Trump and Infantino — those two were made for each other… fascinated by power. And by themselves, too.”

“There still will be more bloodshed”

Before I was thinking, “sure, he was just old.” But knowing there’s a potential FBI investigation, now I’m thinking this has hints of David Carradine.

The best case against Trump continues to be listening to what he says, in its entirety—no sane washing.

Yes, yes, yes! 👇

There is no need for fireworks now with drone shows. No need for pets and vets to cower and for wild life to suffer as well as the pollution and noise. I said what I said.

The two-party system undermines the wellbeing of Americans.

The Vandal Follow my cartoons and accompanying written commentary on Substack: nickanderson.substack.com For @rawstory.com

A love letter of sorts to the dream that was the reflecting pool. It was supposed to cost $1.5 million or $15 million. Biden or maybe Obama probably both of them spent $100 million to try to fix it. It was going to be American Flag Blue a dark blue color and be wonderful.

ICYMI — Trump admits he was manipulating the stock market with fake news about Iran

Kristi Noem claims China has a ‘thousand-year plan to destroy the United States’ —then brags that Trump is on track to beat the Chinese by 992 years.

It’s also very funny that they pivoted from “this guy is low-T and gay” to “this guy has too many hot girlfriends”

Holy crap. The ways in which this is bad is very very many.

Let’s not forget this headline as Iran now claims making counter strikes that will surely be used as justification by the US to lay waste to Irans cities and infrastructure.

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

Can someone please explain why it’s okay for everyone to see the structural layout of a ‘top secret’ bunker under construction, but they’ll be damned of they’re going to allow a congressional delegation to tour an immigration prison camp?

Celebrating world bee day!

The money laundering and bribery operation known as Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. closed at an all-time low today, down 83% from two years ago. The company lost its investors, if that’s what you want to call them, $406M just last quarter alone.

This graph is so disturbing I had to check the source to see if it’s for real… it is. www.ft.com/content/f921...

Breaking News: To bring down gas prices Republicans pass bill to reduce the size of a gallon. The new "Patriot Gallon" will be about half the size a current gallon. (For how long will this be parody?)

This! 👇

The kids are alright.

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

He’s got my vote!
