The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

they are just reveling in the cruelty tbh

This billionaire is trolling hardworking educators—and making jokes about gutting supports for special needs kids.

Did he just get a new couch?

Eldritch Thrumming sounds like a transphobic English actor

"It is not a violation of these canons for a judge to publicly refrain from performing a wedding ceremony based upon a sincerely held religious belief." Language does not preclude refusing to perform mixed race weddings either. Just wow, Texas. I am embarrassed for you.

NEW: Two federal judges ruled the Trump administration’s decision to suspend food aid benefits for tens of millions of Americans during the government shutdown is likely unlawful and that US officials must use contingency funding to at least partially keep the program operational bit.ly/3JqTEcQ

I LOVE this

The republican strategy appears to be "you poors can't have food until the democrats let us take away your healthcare."

If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years

This really illustrates Trump’s lack of interest in both history and character, and his commitment to the enshittification of everything. This looks like what people imagine a “rich” hotel bathroom is, while simultaneously echoing one of those bath fitter things on TV they do in an afternoon.

yeah i mean come on. if you're remodeling a bathroom in 2025 and you're not adding a bidet, are you even an autocrat?

He turned it from classy and understated art deco to generic hotel bathroom with zero character.

This chart always makes me think about how we made the streets "safer" by making sure no one goes outside ever, especially kids

this is true in the sense that I would like to be protected from them

I lived in NYC for years, and it's entertaining they managed to write this story without once using the word "vigilante," which Sliwa was. they don't even do the "both sides" thing where they have some civil rights professor timidly note that randomly beating the shit out of people isn't great

“Mamdani, are you going to vote for him?” SCHUMER: “I have a good relationship with him and we’re continuing to talk.”🤔 “The vote is on Tuesday.” SCHUMER: *walks away* At least have the guts to say “NO” and be a man @SenSchumer, this is just pathetic.

The degree to which "freedom" when used by politicians has become synonymous with bigotry is almost total. The two are generally interchangeable.

They seem to be able to manage it on plenty of other issues, especially the real ones like poverty, housing and community facilities that have led to these frictions.

LIVE TO SERVE CAPITALISM. NO REPRIEVE. NO MOMENTS OF JOY. SERVE TILL THE GRAVE.

I'm old enough to remember when it was millennials and avocado toast.

A judge ordered agents involved in the Chicago deportation blitz to have "visible identification … prominently displayed." But they've been missing in dozens of @chicago.suntimes.com photographs. From @bylaurenfitz.bsky.social, Anthony Vazquez and Ashlee Rezin: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The Fed's moves to eviscerate bank supervision staff (and bank regulation broadly) serves as a reminder that financial oversight is a *crucial* part of the Fed's mandate. One of the reasons (more below) we opposed Biden's renomination of Jay Powell is because he's a proven ally of Wall Street.

Demons. Fucking demons.

Its so bloody sad that well over 3k people will be disappointed. I'm so angry with fine gael for creating this housing disaster, and with fianna fail for doing nothing to improve matters.

I'm so old I remember when people fumed when we compared the GOP to Nazis. That was like three years ago.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

This looks like a concentration camp.

china should step up to fund SNAP as aid to a developing country

occasionally I read a wikipedia entry that is so baldly self-promotional that I wonder how it came to be

Yes, it’s genuinely insane to be concerned that a candidate *checks notes* had a SS tattoo on his chest for 20 years. Purity tests, am I right?

They are treating America like it is Iraq circa 2007. Surge of armed forces in what they think are hostile cities, while the administration lives in the protected Green Zone. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Less offensive than what Vance said about his wife

A little late reading for those of you inclined ...

Bari Weiss, the incoming editor in chief of CBS News, once auditioned for a role on the hit daytime television show "The View," but tested so poorly with audiences that she "wasn't invited back," according to a new report.

She's just mad it took 'em 8 years to finally read her great column

call me crazy but i think inviting someone under federal indictment to an interview, peppering them with questions about the indictment that you know they can’t answer until you cause them to leave, then calling it a “Katie Porter moment” is not good journalism

Tucker Carlson interviewed white nationalist podcaster Nick Fuentes on Monday, sitting politely as Fuentes criticized the power of “organized Jewry in America.” www.thebulwark.com/p/one-of-the...

Does Clay Higgins not know how many of his white MAGA constituents are receive SNAP? Or does he not care?

Imagine being such a terrible human — an actual monster to young people — that there’s a measurable positive impact on your departure. Walters sounds like the type of person who would probably find joy in that. He also sounds like a small, scared, insecure and pathetic man with a boring life.

what a terrible day to have eyes and be literate
