I had the scariest morning. I let my dogs out and in the backyard was the dumbest cat in the world. They gave chase—three big dogs—and kitty almost made it over the fence but they got him. So I’m screaming at them as I run over and it’s like cartoon fight with a tumble of claws and teeth.

The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier. Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

Wow.

If Noam Chomsky was paling around with Epstein is there any chance that Jonathan Martin wasn’t?

Good politicking entails dividing and demoralizing your opponents. What certain scandals can do is be a miasmic drag on a party, candidate, or brand.

This may be a punishment in Texas.

“If you support keeping the filibuster you are not serious about moving the country forward in any positive direction.…you should absolutely be primaried with the intent of removing you from office at the first opportunity.”

“straight up giving the president a bar of gold” is where we’re at now on the “corruption isn’t real” scale good work, John Roberts

These bigoted moms are vicious! “She said people in an Astoria-based mommy group dunked on her for saying that she’d gladly go to a neighborhood bar that Mamdani had recently visited: “People were cursing at me and discussing my anatomy, saying, ‘You must have a full bush.’”

In a few years, half the population won’t be able to read or write or think for themselves and the other half will have psychotic relationships with a machine that’s killing the planet.

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

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

We could have gotten smarter fascists, who work to boost the economy upon taking office, funneling benefits to their supporters, consolidating power behind the scenes. Instead, they rushed to overt corruption while making even supporters' lives worse. A lot of pain before they fall, but they will.

Nobody coulda predicted…

This is a guitar shark. They’re pretty rare and I’ve never seen one before but the unseasonably cold water off Costa Rica this week attracted them and we saw like ten of them. They’re weird and ancient looking. Didn’t see one move. 🤿 #divesky #marinelife

“Plainly speaking, some of the most powerful people in the world were communicating with one another through the kingpin of an alleged child-sex-trafficking operation. But the emails also prove that the truth is dumber than fiction.”

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

In the past month we've seen bullshit from the Trump and administration and "dutifully print things" journalism that the US & China had some "deal" on soybeans and China would buy a *tremendous* amount now. *Actual* journalism: no, it's all bullshit. apnews.com/article/chin...

$143 million in taxpayer money has gone to a mysterious company created just days before it got the money to create a Homeland Security ad campaign starring the deeply corrupt Kristi Noem. A firm with close ties to Noem is secretly cashing in on the deal, according to ProPublica.

Ventricular fibrillation is a condition where the heart stops pumping blood. It is 100% fatal within minutes without treatment. It is not something that “flares up.”

This is objectively the most soft-on-crime presidency we’ve ever had, which makes sense given how many crimes Mango Mussolini and his minions commit themselves. Just have to be a wingnut and it’s all good.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

“Jacobo’s aunt said she was skeptical the mix-up was just a misunderstanding, and that there wasn’t a little bit of discrimination involved.” Ya think?

This is so insulting to men. Believe it or not, most of us aren’t trash.

For the record, there are at least three misdirections-at-best in this week's Main Character's thread about how her being suspended for 72 hours for violating the violent rhetoric policy is the greatest outrage ever to happen:

This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

This boy was adopted yesterday. I'm really proud of him. #dogs #shelterdogs #pitties #adoptdontbuy

That number does matter because these emails are also part of the FBI's Epstein files and the FBI counted all Trum references and Kash Patel said under oath that Trump's name came up less than a hundred times.

It’d be nice to have a public health agency that believes in science right about now

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

“Was it your brain?” should be the follow up question to every Trump statement.

I don’t remember the name of the comedian who did a riff on how pedophilia and ephebophilia are different but you really can’t make that distinction without sounding like a pedophile.

The BU student who called ICE on a group of immigrants working at a car wash committed an act of violence. Against the immigrants, their families, and the entire community. The fact that this student is foreign born — but white — shows just how much white supremacy is baked into the entire thing. 1/

The weirdest thing about this discourse is that states with shorter school closures have the same amount of learning loss! I keep waiting for all the punditry on this to catch up with basic facts

So insulting to young men.

Some undeniable truth about misinformation coverage, from @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social: www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Well that's an interesting way to cover the story, NYT.

really would have liked to hear the convo where they convinced him to end tariff to lower prices without him ever acknowledging that tariffs raise prices.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:
