There's a horse in the hospital but also the horse is a big fan of Pat Buchanan

Trump is the natural progression of the Democratic Party electing Barack Obama president, which triggered a realignment finishing the Civil Rights realignment between the parties. 1/3 NYT (1995): “Clinton Embraces a Proposal To Cut Immigration by a Third”: ordinary-times.com/2018/06/29/t...

Citing betamax and laserdisc is not making the point you think it is

It's actually really really bad that Megyn Kelly has chosen the side of antisemitism

Lol was this filed pro se or something

She supports CECOT so she is clearly evil. She cancelled an expose of CECOT to curry favor with the administration so she is clearly corrupt. She did not understand the basic mechanics of cancelling it so she is clearly incompetent. These are not priors or biases: we are watching it in real time.

Need to separate out Other Democrats by white/nonwhite imo

You may not like it but this is what peak popularism looks like

Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. Fuck cancer.

There is not a single person with a STEM education in Trump's cabinet or inner circle

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I like the part where they redact "1600 Pennsylvania Ave" in Trump's listed address.

(Sally Jenkins is arguing in bad faith, she knows pieces don't get killed for quality reasons at that point in the process)

Thank you instacart very cool

This is not correct, btw, 220 is not the originating zip code. www.linns.com/news/cancell...

My take on why the heritage American thing is a real thing is that america has not had to go to war to protect itself in nearly a century. yes Iraq and Afghanistan could be viewed as existential threats but were not on the same level as ww2 or civil war. cause of that no one really feels heroic

This is definitely the letter that was sent and returned to sender and found in the prison's mailroom (reported on in 2023) It seems implausible someone would fake it unless he was already dead, but that's not what the timing suggests. He was alive when this was mailed. It was probably him.

This Lithuanian national wants to be deported. Lithuania is ready to take her. Instead, she was detained by ICE for overstaying a visa waiver in February and she's *still being held*. These morons can't even deport people who want to be deported. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

I'm a Neocon again. Invade El Salvador. @rivertam.bsky.social

Isn't this just polynomial time reduction explained with crayons lol

Well done UC Berkeley. Well done Human Rights Watch. Well done CECOT survivors. Well done 60 Minutes.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

By the way over the last 7 days the top search trends in America by volume outside football topics are * Jake Paul * James Ransone (RIP) * Greg Biffle (RIP) * Epstein files released * Avatar * Powerball numbers dec 20 2025 * Andrew Tate * Tylor Chase * The Housemaid * Bowen Yang * Vanity Fair

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

This most recent episode exemplifies what I'm talking about. The memo she wrote justifying her spiking the CECOT story is the kind of thing that could have actually worked *if she'd been on top of things to intervene early in the process*.

Becoming slowly Arnade-pilled as I realize that these guys who went straight from prep school to Harvard to full time DC punditry just fundamentally don't view people outside their social circles as real people with real lives and real concerns

I liked the trailer for The Odyssey but it should have had a part where Odysseus turned to the camera and told us exactly how to translate polytropos into English

Didn't pritzker lose the district 2018?

Ok but there were a lot of people on the left outraged over the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad, and I know this bc they all posted on BlueSky about it

Right, the biggest flaw with WAR is that it's being applied to binary election outcomes. Casten's seat is probably D +7-9, the marginal value of him being D +3 vs R +3 is very low. It's like insisting sac flies are low EV when there's a runner on third and no outs in the bottom of the tenth.

Also, "wins above replacement" is not endogenous in politics. Members in safer districts are expected to take riskier positions.

IL-06 2016 - Clinton 51-42 2016 - Duckworth 50-44 2018 - Pritzker 50-45 2018 - Casten (vs incumbent) 54-46 2020 - Biden 55-44 2020 - Durbin 53-41 2020 - Casten 53-45 2022 - Duckworth 55-43 2022 - Pritzker 53-44 2022 - Casten 54-46 2024 - Harris 51-45 2024 - Casten 54-46

Just popped over to Twitter and they're deep into a fight over "Heritage Americans" and if it's acceptable to gesture vaguely at one of your 512 ancestors or you have account for all of your greatx7 grandparents or if the designation is based on whether your last name sounds anglo enough

a note from the CBS reporter behind this story to her colleagues tonight

The best way to revolt is to leak the segment.

I want to be clear: 60 Minutes has mot been as relevant in the past 15 years as it has been on the CECOT story. It has been leading coverage since MARCH.

BlueSky seems to think that this was a request for celebration and the Streisand effect is it backfiring. Someone risked their job to post this because they want you to know.

The thing about Vance is that he has none of Trump's natural comic energy. He is profoundly awkward when attempting to make a joke. It's not just a physical thing either - his Twitter humor also falls very short.

"LLMs can't do anything" is a fringe dead-ender position in a world where people are already using LLMs for everything from home decor suggestions to writing wedding vows. "LLMs can't produce novel insights" is an argument for a hypothetical world where the average person needs many novel insights.

What’s very funny about @rivertam.bsky.social ongoing bit about Bari Weiss’ incompetence is that she can’t even kill a story in a quiet, competent manner

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

I really enjoyed Twitter until sadly posting under my real name led to Nazi death threats. It doesn't quite feel the same here but it is as good as I think it'll get.

Honestly one of the reasons I like BlueSky is I enjoy being yelled at by stupid tankies more than I enjoy being yelled at by stupid Nazis. But if you post under your Real Name, the death threats are a lot harder to deal with obviously
