"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

This is bad, but also vital to remember: it’s an EO. It’s not a new law. It’s just instructions to his appointees. Who remain constrained by the Fed criminal code. And, to preempt the doomers: Those. Laws. Are. Holding. That’s why Trump’s losing it over Comey in EDVA.

Holy Lincoln Bedroom, Batman!

My favorite chapter in this saga was March 2024, when they simultaneously said (1) the LAX people mover was 96%; and (2) they needed another year.

If I learned anything from reading OUTLIERS, the 10,000 hours she has likely spent with Corey Lewandowski may have made her an expert in something else.

Based on this clip and seeing Gidley last night, I assume this show is called ADVENTURES IN HAIRSTYLES

This is very close to the plot of SO FINE (1981)

Look, when you have four jobs its hard not to be incompetent at all of them.

There are two wolves inside him: good Gavin and bad Gavin. Here, they are separated by the period between 'country' and 'And'.

The Epstein jet joke was good. Negotiating the cost of that 'good joke' kept it going. 'it depends how constipated he is' was the cherry on top

[CHECKS EARPIECE] my apologies, i am being told this is Birkin 2. I repeat: Birkin 2. Birkin 1 was spotted 2 weeks ago at Arthur Ashe Stadium when the White House (plus Jared) took a field trip to the US Open Final (sponsored by Rolex)

Someday, when I am bored and flush, i would like to install a plaque at the spot commemorating the historic 'summit of misfit toys' that occurred between Libs of TikTok and Taylor Lorenz. [A bizarro version of the Obama / Bourdain one in Vietnam.] In hindsight, a preview of much idiocy to come.

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

NARRATOR: You are probably wondering why I arrived at my new job (which I am totally unqualified for) with a Birkin in hand and what message that sends in a position where I'm supposed to look out for the public's best interests (and maybe how I got it, given how hard they are to get) ME: Yes, I am

One of them definitely has the 'it's fuck time' watch from AUTO FOCUS. youtu.be/hUyVEleqHIA?...

Require them to televise hearings. Narrow the shadow docket (and require them to articulate why it's appropriate in those limited cases). Make them subject to an actual ethics code. Make their gifts/publishing contracts subject to pre-approval by the Chief (& make application for approval public).

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

I saw a lot of things today thst reminded me of the way televangelists (and, perhaps, more importantly, their wives) acted in the 80s and 90s and thought "he/she is a grifter"

A story in three acts.

As we all learned in Loper Bright, "courts interpret the text of laws themselves without deference to the Executive, except when @RapidResponse47 has weighed in."

The Big 12 Justice System is made up of two separate yet equally important groups: the offenses, who do cool shit, and the defenses, who allow cool shit to happen. These are their stories. 🎶BONG BONG🎶
