John Bolton's Iran war boner is so insatiable he's rooting for the guy who's trying to put him in prison.

this is the most "yeah no shit" hed to ever yeah no shit

"Bondi didn't fail for lack of trying. She just got beat in court a bunch." @anthonylfisher.bsky.social and @crampell.bsky.social dig into Trump's dissatisfaction with former AG Pam Bondi's pursuit of his perceived enemies.

this is the most "yeah no shit" hed to ever yeah no shit

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

She wasn’t successful enough at being an unethical tool.

that's what happens when the Dow goes under 50,000

One of The Free Press' founding billionaire investors giving us that fearless heterodox civil discourse.

When you talk really fast, never smile or laugh, and only debate 19 year olds, you can convince simpletons that you're an expert on everything.

Intellectual dark web heterodox trust fund baby is simultaneously one of the dumbest and most confident people alive

Guys we need to talk about Biden’s cognitive decline and woke racism

Bookmark this for the “but Obama’s Iran deal was bad” people in your life

lol he's so mad he's gonna lose

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Apparently, in the oral arguments today the guvmint lawyer was ranting that there are 500 companies helping Chinese with birth tourism. If so they must be operating at a massive loss. I wrote in 2011 about the infinitesimal numbers of such tourists when last time there was a panic about this:

It was just 24 days between when Zuck went on Rogan and talked about how "never again" would he suppress info based on gov't demands (misrepresenting those demands) and when he texted top gov't employee Elon Musk to say "we're all set up to take down info you want removed." I wrote about it here.

Brendan Carr is openly gloating about the Orbanization of America.

Once again, this site has a significant problem with people who cannot distinguish between "here is what the law is"/"here is what happened" and "I endorse that law/what happened."

The FCC chair bragged about the president’s “wins,” including the MAGAfication of wide swaths of media, writes @anthonylfisher.bsky.social

Just so we are clear, this is different from the other Jan 6 rioter that Trump pardoned who was sexually abusing children.

it’s wild how much of the chattering class is invested in the idea that the democrats need a center-right stephen miller www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Brendan Carr is the most eager-to-please attack poodle in Trump’s kennel, so he couldn’t help but reveal what MAGA considers “winning.” New @ms.now column on the FCC chair openly gloating over the Orbanization of America.

dumbest kleptocracy ever

“Support the troops and arrest their families.”

Color me skeptical that The Free Press’ comedy shows will have jokes critical of Israel or MAGA racism, lest their audiences be forced to take a joke.

NYTimes has spent years breathlessly repeating claims that objecting to the treatment of Palestinians is antisemitic, but when right-wingers say they're “J-pilled,” NYTimes calls this "slang for skepticism of Israeli influence." Where's the "J" in "Israel"? Might that "J" mean something else?

NYT’s about a week away from going to a MAGA diner to ask jes’ regular folk about “the JQ”

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

This is what Brendan Carr was talking about when he said Trump was "winning" his war on non-MAGA media.

Hey, listen. If you're going to start a forever war that will only make your weaker, more detested, and poorer, make sure it's at the behest of the guys who produced most of the 9/11 hijackers.

POTUS saying the quiet part out loud as he usurps Congress’s war powers to wage an unlawful and unnecessary conflict against Iran. Word games aside, congressional authorization was necessary and this war is flagrantly illegal.

We’ll never live this down and honestly we don’t deserve to.

Guys we need to talk about Biden’s cognitive decline

"The federal government is poised to destroy, as early as April 23, protected bike lanes that run through the National Mall." Here's @waba.org's memo in support of a preliminary injunction to stop the Trump administration from going after DC bike lanes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Student visas for Africa’s best and brightest were canceled by the Trump administration, leaving empty seats and broken dreams. “A punch to the heart,” said one woman who lost her scholarship.

Seems wildly corrupt but what do I know

Again, this is the leader that Trump has repeatedly endorsed, and which US right wing intellectuals claim is the model for America. JD Vance will, alongside intimidating voters and bribery, join Orban's last ditch effort to stay in power

Remember birtherism? Now it's coming for you. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

We starved kids in Africa for this.

When you get an egomaniac who doesn't give a shit about democratic norms and give him a staff of toadies who venerate him, you get garbage like this. (It's a good time to shift to paying for everything digitally...) www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

"100 MILLION HAVE GOT TO GO!" I believe I will go down as the first person to testify explicitly in opposition to the plan to deport 100 million people from America.

Narrator: He is, in fact, desperate.

This is the kind of nightly news innovation you get when you hire a “generational talent” like Bari Weiss for $150m

OPINION by MS NOW opinion columnist @anthonylfisher.bsky.social: "As Trump desperately searches for an off-ramp to his failing war of choice with Iran, his administration’s loyalists have leaped into action." READ MORE: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

This was always the end-game of anti-woke hysteria. “Trump accused the Smithsonian of focusing too much on ‘how bad slavery was’ and not enough on the ‘brightness.’ He has signed executive orders on education that called for the end of ‘radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling.’”

Trump’s haplessness over his illegal and failing Iran war has left him looking a little needy. That might explain the dramatic uptick in aggressive brownnosing by some of the highest-ranking members of his administration.

Man I dunno

Some more of that nuanced, middle of the road political discourse I'm missing out on by not using Xwitter.
