- Yesterday was not only a bad look for the Grand Lord Doofus Trumpelthinskin, it also revealed quite a bit about what the military thinks about Pete Hegseth. Military leaders know exactly what a military parade should look like. Above all, they know it...250 comments 689 Recs
- In political science, there’s something called the "3.5% Rule": Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change. Yesterday Jean and...190 comments 560 Recs
- He’s such a small, small man At 8:53pm EDT Trump declared war. UPDATE: The full squawk is here. (I’m not calling it a “truth,” a “tweet,” a “bleat,” or a “skeet.” Chicken’s squawk.)152 comments 390 Recs
