He sent 13 service members to their deaths over “not very valuable stuff”? 168 Iranian school girls. Thousands of civilians killed. Our bases badly damaged. Stockpiles depleted. $80 billion price tag. $6 gas. For “not very valuable stuff”?

JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." Some of you were alive when that happened.

At least the shitshow is entertaining. Like we're all laughing at these idiots together. They coated the Reflection Pool for Trump's birthday party, threw a UFC fight on the WH lawn, the Reflection Pool turned neon green with algae, they're dumping 12% hydrogen peroxide in the RP in the sunlight. Hydrogen pretty much gets canceled out by sunlight. The bubbling you see when exposed to light is the release of oxygen gas. The amount they've wasted in taxpayer money is amazing.

There is now clear evidence that the Great Israeli Real Estate event had unlawful activity at it. I've written to the Mayor of London to ask what he intends to do about it. This needs to be escalated immediately.

Excellent essay on Scotland and the ‘atom of delight’ - read it and smile

Sounds like Dan Bongino probably recorded the call with J.D. Vance in the Situation Room about Trump in the Epstein files. Just release the audio already you toaster oven-headed MF @dbongino

Since Trump is refusing to remove the curtain and reveal that his name has been stripped form the Kennedy Center.

Well, shit. Now the Reflecting Pool is green AND foamy. Hey, @realDonaldTrump, wanna cover this with a tarp, too, you idiot?

'Barca a terres.' (1877) This elegant image of skiffs cutting through water on a sunny day defined Gustave Caillebotte’s childhood and would later become an evocative and nostalgic motif, one to which he would return time and again as a mature artist.

One thing, they should be doing this at dusk because hydrogen breaks down in sunlight. Another thing is, they're using 12% hydrogen peroxide. They'll need 4,558 gallons to shock the algae into dying. They're going to go through 4,558 bottles of this, & it still won't work. 🌞👈

I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

Claire Kerrison was arrested at 4:33am from her Brighton home for sending emails concerning 'israel's' genocide in Gaza to her MP Peter Kyle. Four police officer raided her home on 17 June 2025. They seized her electronics. Held her for over eight hours with no one knowing where she was. Released her on strict bail. Charged her in late 2025 under the Communications Act. The case dragged on for a full year. She faced multiple court hearings including not-guilty pleas. The emails were described by those who read them as articulate and non-abusive— simply expressing horror at events in Gaza. The man who triggered the police complaint? Her own constituency MP, Peter Kyle: - Britain's trade minister responsible for arms exports to 'israel'. - Long standing member and previous vice-chair of Labour Friends of 'israel' Kyle has been accused of breaching the Ministerial Code by failing to declare his LFI membership in the official List of Ministerial Interests for 18 months despite the clear conflict. The case was finally dismissed yesterday, with costs awarded to Claire Kerrison. This is why British politicians who are paid/influenced by the 'israel' lobby must be banned from public office. greghadfield.medium.com/excl… doughtystreet.co.uk/news/bri…

It's only Tuesday and Trump has fucked up a pool for $14 Million, lost a war agreeing to pay Iran $300 Billion, and ballooned his already expensive ballroom budget by another $200 Million. Where are the Republicans screaming about "waste, fraud and abuse"?

A college swimmer caught red-handed assaulting an unconscious girl behind a dumpster gets sentenced to just 3 months in jail because the judge "didn't want to ruin his Olympic potential." Once again, a man's hypothetical career is worth more than a woman's actual life.

Shot the dog 5 times & refused to let her neighbors comfort her. A cop walked up to her and said “sorry for your loss but you need to control your emotions.” Smh. 25 cops and a helicopter for a loud noise ? Literally bored w/ nothing better to do. I hate I came across the video.

Jets for a fight, medical cuts for the kids.

Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae… Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?

Trump’s DOJ is on a fishing expedition for a crime that doesn’t exist. The American people deserve to know who ordered this abuse of power, what they were looking for, and how far it goes. That’s why we’re demanding all communications involving top DOJ officials — emails, texts, memos, and even Signal messages — that reference me or my wife. We have nothing to hide. Do they?

so many Anne Franks, no diaries.

This is Officer Caroline Edwards and she was one of the Capitol Police that defended the Capitol on J6 during the Insurrection. The rioters attacked her cracking her head open & leaving her with a permanent brain injury. Trump said it was Peaceful and full of Love that day!
