What’s the Churchill line about Americans always doing the right thing after exhausting all other possible options?

The apple fitness app is really shit. I’ve never seen an app track activity so poorly.

If one's political project makes a strict majority of the populace of that country sad, there is a TREMENDOUS evidence burden to claim that you're saving them.

in order to save this country we are probably going to have to do things that make rich men sad 😔

I hate this so much. There are so many brilliant, dedicated people at the Post and they deserve so much better than this.

It’s interesting to me that Kevin Warsh is taking a job where his predecessor is being criminally investigated on trumped up charges bc he defied Trump’s will.

What do they love to say, again? If there’s grass on the field, you can play ball? That’s why they think it’s okay for a 50 yr old to have sex with a 12 or 13 year old. She’s hit puberty! Hint: it’s still fucking gross

No one is more pedantic than a man who wants to have sex with minors. Just saying…

And they say academics are pedantic… Sex offenders are more pedantic than academics when it comes to sex with minors

That’s why I will refer to Epstein as a convicted sex offender. Bc it’s *the exact correct definition* for that piece of shit and just try to defend him now

This made me weepy

As relevant as ever

If you aren't already supporting, do so now. Not sure how Aaron's head hasn't exploded.

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

Why were ICE agents unmasked from 2004 through 2024 is the question that is never asked?

My cats have learned how to open doors?! Fear for me…

I’m sure Charles Murray gets just as exercised about depictions of Jesus as a white guy.

Cruelty is big business

Finally, Judge Reyes gets to the Equal Protection claim and makes it clear; there is just no possible way you can look at Trump saying racist things against Haitians for years in a row, including specifically about Haitian TPS-Holders, and not draw a line from point A to point B.

If you don’t stop naming nuts…

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

This Epstein stuff makes me *so fucking angry*

I’m starting to fully believe that Epstein was a giant KGB op to destroy the west using dumb, greedy billionaires and online radicalization of young men on 4chan

2. What Epstein wrote to Thiel in 2016 lines up with what he wrote to his business partner Ehud Barak in 2014: “with civil unrest exploding in ukraine syria, somolia [sic], libya, and the desperation of those in power, isn’t this perfect for you.” Social collapse is a business opportunity.

Epstein planned a meeting with 4chan founder Christopher Poole (moot) in 2011, shortly before /pol/ was created and later became home to QAnon & Pizzagate during the 2015 US election, amid the Heather Marsh launched #OpDeathEaters investigation into the Epstein network. #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverUp

Fully expect a DOJ indictment for disrupting church services to come down imminently

The Christmas Adventurers Club

Mine: they were fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe organized by cynical political leaders who told their angry and aggrieved countrymen that a hated minority was responsible for all of their problems, and that once their countries were purged of those people then everything would be great again.

"The last time a party in control of the presidency and both houses of Congress lost both those houses in a midterm was in 2006. That result marked the end of the political potency of the Bush administration." And so it may be for Trump:

1. Trump can’t federalize elections and he knows that. 2. That doesn’t mean he won’t try, so what are WE going to do when he inevitably does?

UPDATE: Georgia is suing to get their ballots back. www.ms.now/news/fulton-...

No. The administration has spent months BLOCKING the report going to congress. Nothing is "too classified for Congress."

Epstein and Peter Theil talking about how Britain imploding thru Brexit will mean they get some amazing deals. Money thru collapse. Peter Theil likes to accuse others of being the anti-Christ, but he’s honestly the best candidate.

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

Republicans seriously want to terrorize this kid for being bad press for the regime

/pol/ discovering they were all fucking idiots groomed by Epstein and "owning the libs" was nothing more than them helping the pedo billionaire elites control everyone else.

He thinks we are all morons $500 million from the UAE 4 days before his inauguration — then they got previously restricted AI chips But “no involvement” lol ok buddy

Bad Bunny thanked his mom for having him in Puerto Rico, told the people on the island there's nothing they can't do, and dedicated his award to all Latinos and to immigrants who keep pushing forward with a lot of strength.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.

Watching these Grammys, you have to wonder if perhaps the Silicon Valley bros made a classic VC mistake and went all-in on reactionary politics right before the bottom dropped out.

worth scanning the whole 50-page document here, but even this topline is stunning. imagine if, say, the fbi had a crime rate like this.

The president has consistently polled in the 20s among independents for months now and people have just been ignoring what the implications of that are if he’s also losing even a small segment of Republican voters

Exhibit A of why America is worth fighting for: independents and even the GOP base acknowledge that what is going on is wrong. This is a bipartisan issue. Genuinely, if this voter identity breakdown yields a Dem +14 win in Texas, the sky is the limit and Reconstruction 2.0 is the floor.

How much did Taylor Swift’s documentary film in 2023 make on its world-wide release and what was the budget? 😉 Just asking…

Seems like Trump agrees www.scmp.com/economy/chin...
