LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

the utter fucking disdain I have for the "free market libertarian think tankers" that paved the way for this authoritarian "victory" over federal corporate accountability is bottomless garbage, pseudo-intellectual assholes whose myopic anti-governance dogshit will have an immeasurable body count

We talk a lot about how the GOP has become the party for bigots and the party for dummies, but we should spend a little more time talking about how the GOP has become the natural political home for losers.

bluesky is only toxic if you suck

It addresses all the Big Four threats: Our allies, our citizens, our laws, and the rules-based international order.

The President of the United States is trying to throw Mark Kelly in prison and Mark Kelly's response is to confirm judges who have committed to putting him in prison

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president. Just fucking pathetic.

It’s true. We shouldn’t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against America’s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.

it is the worst of all worlds. a "unitary *presidency*" insulated from judicial or congressional power and a weak president unable to do the job of governing

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

We have spent more than 1,000 years trying to separate the awesome prosecutorial powers of the state from the personal whims and vendettas of the head of state. Trump’s actions and ideology seek to reverse those gains. Here’s the history he’d like to reverse www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-oldest...

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

In 1945, the US Army put out a training manual intended to help rank and file soldiers spot incipient fascism in the US. One of the telltale signs that one was dealing with a fascist was that they called everyone to their left "a communist." bsky.app/profile/seth...

"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game

I had some downtime post surgery and caught up on TV. Extremely late to the party but I adored season 2 of ANDOR. I watched the last three episodes and then ROGUE ONE. There are not many five hour stretches better than that. Eat shit Imperials.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

What sick dogshit place are we living in where "child sex trafficking and pedophilia" is an "issue" and not a "put everyone in jail and throw away the whole jail" situation

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Coverage of the 2016 elections is a massively consequential scandal www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/11/emails

The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I love a meme targeted for my demographic

We're officially live. It's incredibly important to have a real record of how our public servants are behaving and this database will be a powerful tool for researchers, reporters, and ordinary Americans.

Wow, the Maine Senate delegation is fucking terrible.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Great time to remember that every state is purple. There are good people worth supporting everywhere!

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Your regular reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - from Trump to torture to Iran-Contra to Watergate, back to at least 1865 - is bc there are never any actual personal or legal consequences for all the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics

A wild-eyed Christopher Lloyd explaining that the only way to close the inter-dimensional wormhole from the Cubs winning the World Series is to play another World Series in the "null hour" when clocks are turned back.

Happy #Halloween! A wonderful 2nd century AD Roman mosaic found near Antioch, Turkey showing a skeleton, cup of wine in hand, reclining on the floor of a dining room in a house reminding guests to enjoy life: ‘ευφρόσυνος’

I love him and hope he lives forever. Icon.

Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally. Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"

This and the Chicago indictments make it abundantly clear that the rule of law is dead at DOJ. The agency has been fully weaponized to smite Trump’s enemies and shield his friends.

In , “Without Precedent: How Chief Justice Roberts and His Accomplices Rewrote the Constitution and Dismantled Our Rights,” Lisa Graves details how Roberts spent “hundreds of hours trying to block” Section 2 while working for the Reagan administration. @thelisagraves.bsky.social archive.ph/bjcEV

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk. I had it exactly backward.

Ugh, strenuously agree with Tom Nichols.

Brilliant thread is brilliant

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov and @democrats.senate.gov this is why your base hates you and thinks you are, at best, full of shit. What an abject failure of leadership. May you never sleep well again

ah yes another beautiful morning, time to decide if I want to be informed and frozen in panic, or willfully ignorant with a numbing background dread

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

It’s great being in a party that respects a diversity of voices viewpoints and ideas One thing we won’t do? Accept Nazis. Period. We won’t debate our humanity, or accept racism, antisemitism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc.. those are absolute dealbreakers. Period.
