Massie: "I hope Hegseth addresses the 8 articles of impeachment, and doesn‘t get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay. I may have just given you half his speech, I don't know."
There's a saying on American social media:
"Be the American that Japanese people think you are."
I'm Japanese. I've lived in Tokyo my whole life.
So let me tell you what we actually say about you, when you're not in the room.
"When someone falls down on the street, we pretend not to see. We're protecting their pride. Americans run straight at them. They don't care about the pride. They care about the knee." (Office worker, 38)
"An American will stop four lanes of traffic for a family of ducks. And then everyone in the cars claps for the ducks." (Taxi driver, 61)
"If you lend an American a pen, you will never see it again. If you need a kidney, they'll ask your blood type." (Nurse, 45)
"At kids' soccer games, they cheer when the other team's kid scores. The other team's parents look confused. Then they cheer too." (Youth soccer coach, 52, lived one year in Ohio)
"A man sneezed on a bus in Chicago. Eleven strangers said 'Bless you.' He said 'thank you' eleven times. Nobody on that bus thought this was strange." (University student, 21)
"At an airport in Texas, I watched a soldier try to pay for his lunch. The cashier said someone already had. He asked who. She said, 'Somebody who didn't want you to know.'" (Retired teacher, 70)
"American fathers cannot braid hair. But they will watch a video at midnight for an hour so their daughter's hair looks right on picture day." (Hair stylist, 33)
"I ran the Chicago Marathon once. Strangers stood in the cold for hours holding signs for people they will never meet. At mile 20, a man I'd never seen read the name off my bib and screamed it like he'd raised me." (Runner, 48)
"When Americans get lost, they ask a stranger. If the stranger is also lost, they become a team." (Tour guide, 39)
"They ask the waitress her name. And then they remember it." (Restaurant owner, 66)
And one more. From my father. He's 76. He doesn't say much about anything. This is the longest thing I have ever heard him say about another country.
"Every time something terrible happens in America, I watch the news, and I look for one thing.
The people running toward it.
There are always so many."
So, America.
You don't have to become the Americans we think you are.
We're not imagining you.
We're remembering you.
.@AbdulElSayed: RFK Jr. didn't bother to show up when 8,000 people were infected by the shit lettuce. But he wants to come here and lecture you about electing an Arab-American to the US Senate. Here's the funny thing. My guy has zero doctorates. I got 2 of 'em. This is what happens when you DOGE the part of government that is supposed to protect you from the lettuce that has been shat upon. We all suffered the consequences.
This week I’ve seen men ridicule women for dressing “too provocatively” and other men ridicule Muslim women for dressing “too conservatively,” and its a reminder that maybe men should shut the hell up, stop worrying about how women dress, and instead expend their energy on getting men to stop raping and abusing women. This is not a high bar.
Fox: What is the best single line of attack you’ve found for your campaign?
Paxton: We’re going to send out Trans flyers to our voters to rile up our base
So just to be clear.
Two women and a baby went into Walmart and bought diapers. Someone reported them for stealing the diapers after they left the store.
They got in their car and started driving away, unaware of any problem.
Police pulled up, fired into the moving vehicle and killed the baby.
The only people who DIDN'T make a mistake here were the ones in the car.
The man standing next to Randy Fine and Ron DeSantis, in Israel, is Mike Caruso, currently on trial for forcing his penis into his 3 year old grandson’s mouth and peeing in it. Randy Fine’s political committee donated to him.
New Talarico ad running statewide:
"Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right.
"I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile.
"I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."
This is so racist and sickening.
A man stands up at JD Vance’s rally and says “release the Epstein files”.
Vance then implies that he’s an illegal immigrant, because of his skin color.
Ken Paxton voted against a bill making animal abusers pay to treat the animals they hurt.
Paxton went on to protect a research lab that tortured 400 puppies.
Now we can say it definitively.
Elon Musk donated $158M to SLF.
SLF donated $158M to Texas PAC.
SLF is Texas PAC's only donor.
Elon Musk is singlehandedly funding Texas PAC, which is boosting Ken Paxton.
USA właśnie zablokowało działanie Starlinków na Ukrainie.
Oznacza to, że w wielu przypadkach Ukraińcy pozostaną bezbronni przeciwko rosyjskim pociskom - oznacza to po prostu śmierć ludzi, wielu ludzi.
Co za skurwysyństwo.
while we discuss the daily drama that elons algo is dangling in front of us, israel is still carrying out these massacres with the weapons the west sends them every single day. the only people punished so far are those who speak out against these crimes.
🚨 BREAKING: Ukrainian military sources are reporting that Elon Musk’s SpaceX abruptly restricted Starlink satellite communications during Ukrainian military operations overnight, disrupting critical missions as Russia unleashed a massive missile and drone barrage against Kyiv.
Ukrainian activist Serhii Sternenko reports that Starlink connections began dropping when terminals were moving faster than 100 mph (160 km/h), causing multiple missions to fail.
Ukrainian military communications expert Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov says the restrictions were imposed WITHOUT WARNING.
Sternenko suspects SpaceX acted at the request of the Trump administration, though that allegation has not been independently confirmed.
It is clear that Trump is furious that Zelenskyy has refused to surrender and give away eastern Ukraine, and now Trump is trying to break Ukraine's resolve by actively supporting Russia.
He seems to take that refusal as a personal insult, an attack on his image as the dealmaker who can end the war. Once again, Trump is blaming his own failures on others. This time, the consequences are deadly.
