Reading about all these people feeling betrayed by Trump because they fell for it, I’m having New York childhood memories of knowing Trump was a piece of shit when I was ten

Can someone get this to the reactionary centrist "gas is cheap" crew?

They're doing the detransition thing but with autism now.

In a country of millions, there are invariably going to be some number of cases of “I was erroneously diagnosed with X,” and it is generally a terrible idea to draw any broad conclusions from the fact that these anecdotes will exist.

The US is more vulnerable than at any other time. We have an unstable president who relies on his unqualified cabinet. He sent his son in law & another real estate guy to negotiate an end to the war he started. We're running out of weapons. This is the most vulnerable America has ever been

Woooohoooooo 🎉🥳👏🎊 BREAKING! 193 Ukrainian warriors are returning home as part of a prisoner exchange.

as long as he did it as president and not in his personal capacity, not only could he do this, I think, but investigating it would be illegal and/or impossible under Trump v. US

Just leaving this right here. #25thAmendment

Charlie Brown didn't have hoes. That's not true. There's even a link in the sentence to a story saying it's not true! Harris won young voters by six points! Trump did much *better among young voters than in previous elections* but that's not the same thing. newrepublic.com/post/209497/...

i hate this shit

how many scaramuccis is that

Yeah. If it weren’t for people…

We murdered two more people in a boat today.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

was marco rubio the white house insider

What a week.

I’ve been to half a dozen receptions and parties in the past few days, and this is the first year during White House Correspondents Dinner week that no one is openly saying they’re attending the Dinner. Nary a peep. Huge stigma.

Let's be clear: The reason Trump wants to grant Maxwell clemency is to keep her from saying what she knows.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

BREAKING: Florida judge questions whether she has jurisdiction to hear Trump's case against the IRS, orders briefing on the question by May 20 and arguments to follow May 27. Judge Kathleen Williams: "[I]t is unclear to this Court whether the Parties are sufficiently adverse to each other ...."

How DARE they suspend "America's Favorite Christian" ?!!! (and one of the smartest, funniest accounts... EVER)

The soldier betting on Maduro's capture while being involved in the raid to capture Maduro is such an abhorrent act you'd only expect it from members of Congress or the trump family.

I’m pretty proud of my Marilyn Monroe piece, where I tried to convey the fullness of someone’s pain and genius without reducing her to either. Here is the photo of her that I describe in the last paragraph. www.bookforum.com/print/3204/b...

Folks need to stop boosting Track AIPAC and using their misleading memes. They have an agenda, and it isn’t based on transparency or truth.

Republicans are literally letting Convicted Felon Donald Trump get away with being a criminal out in the open, and with their permission. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...?

this headline is such a great example of “racecraft.” musk isn’t passively posting about “race,” he is actively writing psychotically racist agitprop www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Even saying that Musk is posting "about race" is softening what is happening here, which is that the world's wealthiest person is committing himself to spreading overt Nazi propaganda.

The Onion is worth $479.1 trillion and exactly three Bitcoin, since we’re just saying stuff

“hostel takeover of InfoWars” Are you guys turning the studios into a hostel? Cuz I would totally stay there.

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

Are they including Ted Cruz in that cohort?

Trump is fighting total war against wokeness as his eyes close and his mouth droops

Trump has a very limited range: Sexual assault, illegal wars, tariffs

sorry

Incidentally, LAPD is turning and burning these helicopters at a ridiculous rate. At ~940 hours/year per airframe, their utilization rate is nearly 4x that of most military units. They’re redlining the fleet’s cycle-to-hour ratio just to maintain a constant loiter above Black neighborhoods.

LAPD operates the largest municipal law enforcement air fleet in the nation. 17 helicopters, 90 personnel, costing $128,000 per day ($50m annually). 16,000 flight hours 762,000 gallons of fuel producing 7,400 metric tons of CO₂ annually. 61% of flights are unrelated to high-priority incidents. 🌎♻️

In the Court of the Crimson King. As far as debut prog LPs go, this is one of the best. Giles' drumming. Lake's vocals. And especially Fripp's guitar. Quite ambitious songcraft. Unforgettable title track and Schizoid Man. And that cover art. My parents hated it but I always thought it was awesome.

There are over 500 opportunities Friday-Sunday to actively participate in saving our country. In person and virtual.

math is hard

Not to be overly alarmist, but everyone should be worried about DOJ’s indictment of SPLC. Here’s why: joycevance.substack.com/p/whats-wron...

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

NEW from LCRW: A former Glendale City Council candidate and a current Congressional candidate showed up to a private screening of a documentary about astroturfed anti-LGBTQ+ school board campaigns to decry the whole thing as racist “against white people.” @katerqburns.bsky.social reports

This is not the own Ted thinks it is . . .
