In 1980, 34% of whites with advanced degrees supported the Democratic presidential candidate.
By 2020, it doubled to 68%.
Meanwhile, Republicans are now cleaning up with high school drop outs.

This is a disgusting statement that reflects the general view of the Trump admin and increasingly the Republican Party as a whole.

Burgum: What we might consider our traditional allies from Europe have been less than reliable. The closer they are to Russia, the more aligned they are with President Trump.

🚨 🚨 BRAKING 🚨 🚨
This one is tough to even type out.
Oscar-winning actor Chuck Norris has past away. The most important and talented actor in world history, Chuck’s movies grossed more than those starring non-American actors combined
He is an American icon, and his record for Oscars will likely never be broken
We miss you, sir

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

@JayinKyiv @cardon_brian Trump will do anything to help daddy Putin - why?
English
The US delegation is now meeting with the dictator of Belarus, a country with a GDP smaller than the US state of Vermont.
Putin needs the US to take sanctions off Belarus to use it as a conduit for western technology for the Russian war machine. The US gains absolutely nothing, but surely the Trump family will make billions from the coming arrangement.

~3 million illegal aliens have left the country in less than 14 months under President Trump.

@Trumpamania4 ICE deported more illegal aliens from the interior of the U.S. in 2025 than any other year in history.

@drflugenflok @RonFilipkowski I don't think Trump can tie his shoes.

@RonFilipkowski How can one tiny country be blamed for so much. You all really don’t think Trump can stand up to people and make his own decisions?

Joe Kent says the last thing Charlie Kirk said to him was “stop us from getting into a war with Iran.” He then suggests that Israel may have been behind Kirk getting killed and says the National Counterterrorism unit was blocked from investigating an Israel connection by the FBI.

As a kid from Westville, it has been the greatest honor and privilege to serve the people of Oklahoma for the past thirteen years in both the House and Senate.
I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump’s mission alongside the department’s many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day.
President Trump ran on restoring law and order, and he quickly delivered the most secure U.S. border in American history. I look forward to supporting @POTUS’ mission to safeguard the American people and defend the homeland.

@TheDitko83 @Kasparov63 I'm glad that people like you have no power to make consequential decisions. You're a fucking idiot.

You do realize that the war in Ukraine would have never happened if Biden just agreed to not let Ukraine into NATO. Instead, Biden declined, Russia moved first, and now over $400 billion and hundreds of thousands of deaths later…Ukraine still isn’t in NATO. Talk about senseless.

Trump is criticized for his inconsistency in nearly everything, flip-flopping sentence to sentence even about a war he started. But on one thing he is incredibly consistent: never criticizing Vladimir Putin and promoting Russian interests.
Jim Geraghty@jimgeraghty
How much is President Trump willing to forgive Putin? He’s helping the Iranians attempt to kill Americans, and Trump doesn’t seem all that bothered by it at all. It’s not even worth some harsh words. We’ve seen the president rage on Truth Social about Fed Chair Jerome Powell, actor and director Rob Reiner, or New York Times journalists who he keeps giving exclusive interviews. But no matter what Putin does, Trump never seems to get all that angry about him.

@AnnaBower They cut billions/day in ridiculous or unnecessary spending.
If you owned a business, would you keep employees that do nothing, and give money to supposed charities, that really ends up going in their back pocket?

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives?
A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit.
Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit?
A: No, we didn’t.

@Elonkicksass @mattyglesias @rkylesmith The film locations are not real. They are movie sets. Asshole.
English
@mattyglesias @rkylesmith I don’t think they’re referencing the fictional aspect of the films, they’re noticing the film locations which are of course real world. Los Angeles was a much better environment to live in 25 years ago. As a resident, I can promise you that.

The prototypical dumb post on the right-wing arm of the illiberal horseshoe is to compare the present to works of fiction depicting unusually rich people in the past.

The costs of striking Iran are real. But so is the nuclear threat. Iran entered 2026 with enough uranium for 10 nuclear bombs. Before the June strikes, it was days away from enriching enough for 1 bomb—a level far beyond plausible civilian needs. Operation Epic Fury is working. We are systematically dismantling Iran’s war machine: missiles, drones, air defenses, navy, nuclear sites, defense industry, proxy networks, central command. In under 3 weeks, the supreme leader is dead, his successor wounded, and Iranian ballistic missile and drone launches are down 90%+. Iran is losing capacity faster than it can create chaos. "War is never clean. But the strategy—the actual strategy, measured in degraded capabilities rather than cable news cycles—is working." Excellent article. aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…
