Let the record show the “Tarps Off” movement has an ancestral predecessor at Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.

The Trump admin is quietly deleting info about the Capitol attack from the DOJ website as it prepares to give funds to J6ers. This week, DOJ deleted a press release about one man with an ongoing child solicitation case who came to the Capitol with bear spray. Before and after:

The NBA’s Last 2 Minute Report says that there were zero incorrect calls in the final two minutes of regulation and overtime in last night’s #Cavs win over the Pistons.

People hate leftists without realizing it's because of leftists that they have a lot of the privileges they take for granted

No amount of words can convey how far behind this country will be in every avenue for a number of years because of this administration and everyone associated with them with stuff like this happening.

At a time of crisis…. There are legislative proposals to etch Trump’s likeness on to Mt Rushmore. And to rename airports for him. And to mint money with his likeness on it

As I told @cnn … we’ll find out what voters think of this soon enough

Breaking News: Prime Minister Viktor Orban conceded defeat on Sunday in a high-stakes general election in Hungary. His defeat is a blow to the global nationalist revival promoted by President Trump. https://t.co/j55374ZnYC

Zero accountability ever. It's not like a military copter ran right into a passenger plane recently or anything

By the way, speaking of Shahed-136s.

Back in 2022-2023, when Iran first supplied them to Russia and they were first used on a large scale against Ukraine, they were fairly simple loitering munitions -- a slow, buzzing two-stroke engine whining high in the sky like a moped, a 50-kg warhead, and often they could be shot down by machine guns mounted on pickup trucks.

Now, after several years of massive use, Russia has dramatically upgraded them. And they evolve all the time along with our defenses.

They can now carry almost twice the warhead -- sometimes even thermobaric. Experimental versions used jet propulsion.

They can fly high and then suddenly dive onto their targets, making them much harder to intercept. They can also fly extremely low, skimming just above the treetops. They’re painted black to make nighttime detection even harder.

Now they can carry cellular modems or Starlink terminals to transmit telemetry and video to operators and allow remote control. Some are equipped with infrared cameras and target-recognition systems. They can act as communication relays for other drones. There are also simple decoy drones designed purely to overload your air defenses.

And here in Ukraine we’ve even seen Shaheds carrying MANPADS, air-to-air missiles, and even another remotely controlled FPV drone.

And most importantly -- they are cheap, mass-produced, and there are a lot of them. Dozens or hundreds every night against your targets, together with swarms of decoys.

In other words -- welcome to the party, pal.

For four years, we Ukrainians have been begging on our knees for weapons, warning that endless appeasement and “escalation management" that give Russia and its totalitarian allies time and shielding Putin from defeat in Ukraine was a colossal mistake.

Now we are all reaping the consequences.

[Brandy Bryant 🏳️‍⚧️ @InkMasterbator]

Billionaires are a fairly recent creation, while trans people have been around since the beginning of recorded history. We are not obligated to accept billionaires and their insatiable greed. In fact we should tax them back into the closet.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

They control the AI you're integrating into your lives, the algorithms feeding you content, and your personal data you've given up for access.

This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us, and we’re not talking enough about it.

Pay attention.

And yes, democracy was on the ballot. It was not hyperbole.

[Samantha Ruddy @samlymatters]

It’s actually very simple. The president is trying to apprehend dangerous criminals and all the dangerous criminals live in states that didn’t vote for the president and also they didn’t do anything and also they’re your neighbors and also you’re next if you keep asking questions

If you've ever wondered why American politics have gone completely bananas over the last 10 years, here's why. Citizens United allowed the Epstein class to destroy our democracy.
