“The Epstein class” is a keeper.

worth noting that if any of Virginia's 4 or California's 7 Republican reps want to save their seats, I am EXTREMELY confident that Speaker Jeffries could get a no-frills single issue national gerrymandering ban over to the Senate by let's say close of business Wednesday. Just say the word.

The purpose of the "alternative" Super Bowl halftime show is a celebration of racism. That's it. It's "revenge" for a Puerto Rican man being selected to perform. Any excuse or fake explanation by any performer participating in it is utter bullshit.

Chris Whipple said something in a NYT op-ed the other day that accords what I took away from his Vanity Fair profile of Susie Wiles. The reason she said so many batshit things to him is she doesn't understand that normies will recognize them as batshit. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/o...

A small landlord is a person who rents out their basement apartment in their house. A person who owns a building is just a landlord-landlord.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

Think about what it says that we're not all freaking out that Trump has said he would unfreeze appropriated funds fund infrastructure if Chuck Schumer agrees to rename Penn Station and Dulles airport after Trump. www.cnn.com/2026/02/05/p...

Of course he’s being extra racist during Black History Month because there’s no limit to the disrespect

They're Abrego-Garcia-ing a child -- punishing him because his very existence is inconvenient to them. It's gutter bigotry and petulant sadism all the way down.

Trump could say the n-word on live TV and the Times’ first reaction would be “it was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware of the word’s complicated history”

we should not refer to federal officials as "czar."

So far it seems like the mainstream media is mostly ignoring Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes

Every American needs to watch this:

There is clarity in second-term Trump increasingly confessing that many items on his to-do list—demanding tribute from universities, especially Harvard; claiming he might “take” Greenland; declaring he won an election that he knows he lost—are nothing more than efforts to boost his wounded ego.

It’s 7:18 am and I’ve seen it 50+ times maybe it’s just disseminating racist propaganda

This is a small issue but I do think it's endemic of how the mainstream press is treating everything: giving the TPUSA Kid Rock "alternative Super Bowl halftime show" the same weight as Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl, like the former will get even 1/100000000th of the audience of the latter.

It's in the Bible!

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

yikes ok, unfollowing now. really enjoyed her exhibit at the louvre, had no idea she’s in the epstein files.

can someone ask the esteemed Senator from Missouri exactly what he means by real Americans seriously, please explain this to me, a black woman, in plain English

Trump's so checked out of his head hotel he doesn't even realize this (derogatory) prayer is about him

Like Trump himself, Tate is useful for channeling the misogynist id of the political right, and I do think these sentiments are driving the recent claims from some elite right wing corners that the Epstein scandal is overblown.

Early in his career, William Randolph Hearst famously joked that if his papers kept losing $1 million a year, he'd lose all his money in 60 years. If the Post continues to lose $100 million a year, it will take Jeff Bezos 2000 years to lose his money.

I agree with this, but, and this is important, I really also wish we had listened to the law students who spoke out about his sexual harassment, and about his wife (Amy Chua) enabling and threatening those who also spoke out about it.

It’s cold/flu season and I’m tired of the guys posting that “despite being sick” they still made themselves go to the gym. You’re not “disciplined”. You’re selfish. /1

These dipshits love to frame things as a binary choice between letting them do whatever they want, or the total annihilation of the human race.

OH HEY. And now they have Maduro in custody and they’re raiding election offices? Wonder if this has to do with that whistleblower report filed last May that just got to Congress?

I sometimes forget that we’re still holding Maduro and probably trying every MKUltra technique in the book to get him to “confess” to stealing the 2020 election.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Karo-lyin Leavitt, at it again.

The era of GOP pronouncement of Hayek-style market capitalism absolutes is now passé. The MAGA GOP firmly believes that everything is better when it's under state control.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

things I would do if I had as much money as Jeff Bezos: —keep a number of obscure comics in print —give a $1m to every public library in the country —endow newsrooms in every city with more than 1m people —buy the Walgreens Boots Alliance and convert it to a network of free clinics

Actually starting to feel very allergic to the claim that Epstein's crimes are a function of his class. His money obviously increased the scale of his abuse and granted him additional impunity, but to say that wealth was the genesis of his depravity feels like willful blindness to gender.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Read this whole astonishing document. it should be taught as an object lesson in what volunteering to assist a fascist government does to your mind, body, and soul.

As expected, #SCOTUS denies the emergency application to block California’s congressional redistricting—with no public dissents. Among other things, this is also a good addition to the “be cynical but not nihilistic about the Court” file.

Hmm yes yes targeting specific ethnic groups as national enemies of the state, yes, just politics as usual, nothing to see here

an underrated hilarious thing about Trump 2.0 is how everyone just does whatever they want regardless of what their jobs are actually supposed to be. Transpo Secretary Sean Duffy doing TV hits about ICE? Sure. Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler railing against Dems over wildfires? Why not!

to be a bit serious one irony of vance’s life is that he is also an addict: addicted to power and clearly willing to sell anything to get it

It continues to be a big problem that so many people think they don’t need outlets like the NY Times or Washington Post because they get their news from IG and TikTok but apparently don’t realize places like the Times and Post are the original source for much of that news.

Everything about this is insane and physically impossible, but this part made me laugh: "To serve 1,000 travelers an hour, Boring’s low estimate, would require a car with passenger to depart every 3.6 seconds." How can people who make cars know nothing about cars. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

I looked up the study this likely referred to and surprise, the actual data do not support this conclusion. Also the respondents were all born between 1925-1950, basically the most outlier-y cohort in European history. But even then it looks like women were happiest in same-age relationships.

Presented without comment. I just want everyone here to know. I want you to know what you're looking at the next time you see this guy being interviewed or RTed by an Abundance bro. 1/8

What training manual in what agency instructs ICE agents that it's permissible to chase down a protestor and point a loaded gun at the top of their head while screaming at them? We have to understand that ICE is being instructed by Trump to ignore law and convention and terrorize not police.

Of all the things in the history of the world that definitely did not happen - this is the pinnacle.

My representative! Woot.

Melania (so very far from her name saint) in her doc gives us the zenith of the trump aesthetic that the women in his court conform themselves to (shades of footbinding) Her airbrushed documentary makes everything intentionally shallow because the goal is unattainable deliberately Vanity is revered

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...
