This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR. I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol. They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

This is pretty egregious when you look at the actual context of the quote. And people are praising that book?

“We couldn’t report on the sinking of the Titanic until we spoke to Captain Smith.”

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

If we treated him like a normal president he’d be in prison right now

I don't think we are obliged to take people of any opinion who have this sort of relationship to empirics seriously. It's just that simple, Yglesias is a troll and we shouldn't take anything he says seriously.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

That was one of the worst Trump speeches I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them.

“All we got in return was a country that offered millions of people a better life than what they left behind” is some really fine reasoning from the guy who’s biggest regret is that he was born too late to serve as a kapo during World War II.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

Just to be clear, this ban would have prevented me from coming to the US, had it existed in 1983.

This has been unfortunately memory holed, but the impact of the ACA on ability of people to have health insurance was really huge. It basically halved the uninsured rate.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

If you think it’s more likely that someone who didn’t hate Jews was hired by Israeli Jews to murder Jews to move public opinion in favour of Israel, you believe horrible things about the character of Jewish people around the globe, which is a kind of bigotry known as antisemitism.

On top of everything that’s wrong with this, Republicans JUST succeeded, after screaming about the need for it for YEARS, in forcing literally everyone to go and get their stupid, expensive replacement licenses, and now they’re no good anyway.

the entire post 9/11 apparatus is now being fully utilized

This is such a special moment for families, when they finally take the oath to become a U.S. citizen. Grabbing people and disappearing them is horrendous, but this - this is especially sickening.

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job

Giving credit where credit is due #FIFA #FIFApeaceprize

So the party of no more soft cuck wokeness just watched their sleepy dictator receive the biggest participation trophy of all time

Congratulations to Pres. Trump for winning the NoNobel Peace Prize.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Shipwrecked and not using any communications equipment. This is a crime against humanity. Everyone involved should be prosecuted for murdering stranded civilians in cold blood. www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/p...

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

It isn't a war. If it were, the strikes are still war crimes. The drugs weren't headed to the U.S. The people killed were likely poor, low-level smugglers, not drug lords. Most overdose deaths are from fentanyl. Fentanyl doesn't come from South America. Everything else Marshall says is correct!

I used to wonder if sports were worth the investment at state schools because of how important they were for public support that contributed to state legislatures being willing to fund them. But state appropriations have cratered and the amount spent on athletics keeps going up. What are we doing?

Calling this "self-defense" is so flagrantly dishonest, a continued war on any belief that words actually have meanings. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing. Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war. They voted to confirm him anyway.

Ah, Petey. There used to be reporters. Now, there is only South Park. youtu.be/YR7H71eSL6Q

TRUMP: If you’re trafficking drugs to the U.S. via the Caribbean I will kill you. ALSO TRUMP: If you’re doing time because you helped traffic 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S. via Honduras you get a “Full and Complete Pardon.” www.justice.gov/archives/opa...

When I was in Belarus a few years ago, I met a guy who loved Americana and excitedly told me about taking his family on vacation to the USA, including various national parks. Just getting the tourist visa was a huge ordeal, but worth it to him. Lots of people like that. We should WELCOME them FFS

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies. Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it: www.cbsnews.com/news/jan-6-p...

Members of Congress did not tell US servicemembers to defy orders. They did not specify any orders they believed were illegal. They simply highlighted the context of their concern and reminded them of a long-standing legal principle in US military law. They are on firm legal ground.

Saying "vaccines are safe" is an irrelevant detail when you voted to hand all of the US government's health organizations over to someone who adamantly insists they are not.

They line up perfectly.

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern. They had misidentified the intern.

🧪Let’s set the record straight. AGAIN Andrew Wakefield’s paper was RETRACTED by The Lancet in Feb 2010.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Jesus this guy is such a chickenshit

A whale washed up in Nantucket, On the beach so we brought spades and buckets. The whale was too big, for any hole we could dig. So we left it right there, saying...

Thriving in independent media for 25 years, without a) getting hoovered into some larger media org & subsequently axed, b) getting ruined by some hedge fund guy, c) falling afoul of any short-lived "pivot to video" style trends, or d) going broke... ... is a genuinely remarkable achievement! Kudos.

Something most reporting on CAIR is going to miss: This is about getting people accustomed to the idea of the govt labeling domestic opponents as foreign extremists and terrorists. CAIR makes a good early target bc racism. It’s straight out of the Putin-Orban playbook for criminalizing dissent.
