Good for Tapper here—playing the clips and calling Noem out for the Trump Administration's bullshit here

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Noem doubles down on her lies. The facts do not matter to these people.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

@NoahCRothman Unlike, say, the measured comments of the actual administration that employs, and must answer for, the person who shot her.

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

This Minneapolis ICE shooting video has become a political Rorschach test: Some people see a peaceful protester getting murdered, and other people are fascists

Reminder that I'm mainly posting on the sky place now. In the meantime, here's an accurate headline about Xitter:

"Who's who at X, the deepfake porn site formerly known as Twitter."

"In the days since his latest meeting with Putin, this time in Alaska on August 15, Trump has again been spewing Russian propaganda, including against the United States. The collusion was real. And it never stopped."

"Trump wants to weigh in on these big cultural fights, where they can pick up what looks like a quick win by turning the eye of Sauron onto one company with shareholders that will get spooked quickly and cave."

Maybe, with any luck, that cultural dominance is a kind of weakness.

This is a potentially massive breakthrough in cancer prevention, and the comments are full of MAHA morons who would rather inject bleach.

100% genuine?
Nope, 100% fake as already exposed in my timeline: https://t.co/L6XggYPiyB
That's a graphic animation created by CG artist Ignacio Ocampo Valles.

[Ben Hodges @general_ben]

This is a very dangerous step…as the Trump Administration continues to take us down the path of Fascism. Nothing about this is making America great…nor does it represent conservatism. It is pure use of theats to silence opponents and to dish out retribution against critics.

This utter and complete bullshit, @SuePearFL .

NEXRAD is short for "Next generation weather radar," and is used to SAVE lives from severe weather.

"Nex" is latin for "knot" or "connection," as in "nexus" and "annex."

If you truly believe what you post, get mental help.

[Fed Up Republican @FedUpGOPer]

I want to say a hearty FUCK YOU to @SenatorLankford and @SenMullin for screwing over nearly a million Oklahomans on Medicaid all so billionaires can get a tax cut, and ICE and CBP get $Billions to terrorize migrants with their goon raids.

[🌻 Vortmax 🌻 @Vortmax]

Completely agree. I hated standardized testing days when I was a kid in the 70's. Now there's even more of them for today's kids.

Heck, I view all those "customer surveys" as our adult standardized tests, but at least we can opt out of them.

[Rep. Jacob Rosecrants 🌩️ @jacobrosecrants]

If DOGE really wanted to cut waste at the U.S. DOE, they’d scrap the high-stakes testing mandates on the states. It’d save millions, restore local control, ease stress on students & teachers, boost creativity & critical thinking, & draw many teachers back to the profession. 🤔
