the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

wow so there really is a block of 36% of us just stone cold stupid

too weaks

"surely the third democratic presidency to come to power after a norm-breaking and warcrime-cheering Republican administration will pursue justice against their predecessors," I repeat like a mantra til I collapse

Fox News using the body of a service member who sacrificed his life for his country to scrub the image of an incoherent narcissist who lied to avoid his own service. Disgraceful.

If you’re a democrat in congress who goes on fox the first thing you say in response to any question should be “why did you show the wrong footage of trump saluting dead soldiers?”

Wondering if the media would've chosen "honored" as the verb if Obama had saluted fallen soldiers in a fucking baseball cap

Love to loudly say “are you sure honey? Claude says you’re being hysterical again“ into my phone to see if anyone in the coffee shop has the manners to kill me

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

This is a sign of the complete moral failure of our society. AP report. apnews.com/article/suic...

this is unspeakable

I'm preparing the brisket today for next weekend's corned beef. But woe to all the Irish people eating it: I have committed a small Italian betrayal by mixing more fennel into the dry brine.

Challenge for those who claim the stripper is only hanging out with me for the money: Explain how friendship works.

If you start from the position that sexism is an insurmountable obstacle for a woman getting elected president, the logical endpoint there is that women shouldn't run for president until that bigotry has been defeated. I think that's wrong.

Sounds familiar.

Ope. Yea that’s a sieg heil

Love this piece, very spot on considering the fervor with which people participate in nostalgia anymore. Also I talk with my blue collar husband about this, who lives parallel to the imagined, most desired life of many white collar men. There's a phantom of masculinity which we all worship.

You shouldn’t laugh, journalists only do this when they are extremely sick of you

Answer a fundamental question of existence or admit the help page on my website is alive

the amazing part is actually in the second half of the clip, where he starts complaining about an interpreter condensing his "long beautiful flowing language" presumably into something comprehensible

Since Trump’s return, America has not supported a single resolution condemning Russian aggression. Not one.

just fwiw, here are the arguments being made, in order: 1. iran has apologized to its neighbors and admitted it lost 2. this is unprecedented and because of me 3. iran has not surrendered and will collapse if it doesn’t admit it lost 4. i am going to bomb iran more and worse until it surrenders

in woke 2.0 it'll be the gay of hormuz

Yes and also I’m not sure how publicly known it is how close it came to becoming black hawk down in Venezuela

fernet is basically the secret handshake of industry folks and it's also delicious

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the FBI. www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

playing Wingspan with Cadbury mini eggs because it's nearly Easter

something underappreciated about Trump is that nobody loves falling asleep in boring, interminable meetings more than him

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Uncrunches your Smurfberries

Wisconsin liberals have a chance next month to go up 5-2 on the state supreme court for the first time in modern history. If they succeed, they'll also block conservatives from earning a court majority through the next presidential election and until at least 2030. New preview in @boltsmag.org:

Trump wants to make the voter ID bill he wants Congress to pass more appealing to GOP by adding anti-trans provisions (on sports & healthcare) despite the fact that the Supreme Court has already upheld state bans on gender transition care for minors and is likely to do the same on sports bans.

After adjusting for inflation, the defense budget this year is $217 billion above when Obama left office. Over a decade, the increase would total ~$2.5 trillion in ⬆️ defense. Trump wants to further boost that another $450 billion a year for a total defense boost of $7.4 trillion above Obama levels.

Same author, last June: “Identity politics is division and it is fatiguing.”

Collecting your money illegally was so much easier.

It’s called “vetting,” asshole. You’re running for a high-profile U.S. Senate seat with zero political experience. Of COURSE they’re gonna dig into your past. That’s standard. Once again: Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t have a clue how anything works.

"and it's good" "no wait, i'm being told now it's the other thing"

He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives

if you don't feel revulsion and embarrassment from this

"This woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump discussed blackmail, and days later he suicided in prison. And after that, the FBI wanted to focus on Trump because, well, Epstein wasn’t around to be prosecuted anymore. Then, years later, DOJ attempted to withhold documents recording all that."

the Trump economy is back baby!

lots of bad in the world but I just saw that a health care provider list me as "pleasant" in my chart so I'll be living off that for the rest of today

The reason she SHOULD have been fired.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
