If anyone wants to know why so many people are annoyed at the NYT, point them to this. They are skilled professionals so they know better, but still foist this kind of crap on everyone

This is another reason to oppose data centers. An honest business doesn't have to lie about who supports it. This is evidence of criminal intent.

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

Always important to remind people that the occasional non egregious decision doesn’t make the Court any less corrupt or in need of reform. Even those who despise the Courts corruption have been accustomed to the idea that it reviews every law, prohibition or imperative embraced by Democrats as …

At their confirmation hearings, all six Repub scotus judges swore under oath that they respect precedent. They all committed perjury, and must be removed

this is absolutely wild. where does roberts think these agencies come from?!? who invested them with authority to act? whose mandate are they designed to execute? the president is the chief EXECUTive. his job is executing the will of Congress as it spells out in its duly-passed laws!

Here, we have a president who, by his own account, personally called a federal prosecutor to intervene in an ongoing election — and the story has barely registered. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

The new racist double standard set up by Alito in the TPS ruling: if there’s any other motive in addition to the racism, the racism doesn’t count, but if the state wants to *prevent* discrimination against black people, that is racist and unconstitutional www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Low-key liberal accomplishments coupled with high-profile policy concessions to the right and aggressive conservative virtue signalling — this is exactly the strategy moderates have recommended for Democrats here, of course. Didn't work too well. Maybe some lessons there.

Secretary Kennedy pretended in the past to support free speech. Now he is using his position to bully a medical journal, in a way that's reminiscent of the conduct the Supreme Court struck down here: supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p... He cites no regulatory authority, and has none.

Desecrating the place

This man fled Texas for Cancun during the Big Freeze wherein 1000+ Texans died of exposure. He left his dog behind. When caught out doing this coward shit, he blamed his kids for wanting to leave.

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

Um, no. No one should be able to obtain your private medical records without your consent. Period.

Just so we’re clear, Trump decided to give himself and his family tax-cheat immunity. Congress didn’t do it. The courts didn’t do it. Trump is stealing tens of millions of dollars from taxpayers because the Republicans in charge of our government refuse to stop him. it’s outright theft.

Apparently there's a wrong way to cut a tree branch

In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed. "These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

History will be very kind to Pelley. Not so much to CBS News.

This is it in a nutshell. Markwayne and the Rs think only Dear Leader's actions are legitimate. All opposition is invalid bc it's "politicized."

If Big Brother doesn’t like your science topic you won’t be funded and if Big Brother doesn’t like your results you will be defunded. A recipe for backwardness that seems to be designed by people who want America to humiliate itself and collapse. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/summary-of...

The news reporter says "we still don't know" why Paxton would release a child predator. Yes, we do. While the republicans are in charge, no republican will ever have to face consequences for their actions. That's why

The moral character of Ken Paxton...

Once again, the "pro-life" people show themselves to be anything but.

Texas has open primaries. I wonder how many Paxton voters did so in order to sabotage the Repubs abcnews.com/Politics/tex...

The people who make these laws do not care that this happens. They are content to kill any number of women if it means that they get to punish even one slut

Apropos of nothing, a noticeable deterioration in personal hygiene is commonly associated with advancing dementia

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

honestly love this guy wasn't antiabortion enough for the true believers and was too antivaxx for the normies but what got him fired was refusing to endorse flavored vapes. everything is so incredibly stupid now but sometimes it is funny www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

Enriching the oligarchs and impoverishing the citizenry makes people angry, desperate, and easily misled. Sabotaging the alliances and strengthening enemies is what Putin wants. The Repubs stand by and cheer as he does it all.
