Look, I’m sure she is a nice lady who found some financial benefit to the tax cut on her tips but please don’t insult my intelligence by suggesting that she was suddenly able to cover CANCER TREATMENTS with the money she saved on tips.

This is the best description of how things are going I've seen

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

This case will be heard by the Supreme Court next term, mark my words. The Trump admin’s claim, endorsed by the 5th Circuit, that everyone had been reading a 1996 law wrong and most undocumented immigrants are actually ineligible to seek bond, has caused massive chaos in federal courts.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Happy Get Fucked Confederacy Day

(Threatening Catholics is what America does. I don't know how to break it to you anymore than I know how to break it to the right wing Catholics who think they've made common cause with evangelicals.)

This is what the bodycam footage shows at the moment the cop says, "There's a suspicious person in the yard" lmao

*talking to teenage militant atheist self* current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

where do you keep your detergent bottle for piss? I actually have 3. one for the kitchen, one for the front porch, and a tide pod container I put in a hole I cut in my mattress that can handle poop

a truly stupendous amount of this is Israel’s fault *but* there is going to be growing horseshoe pressure to claim that it is *all* Israel’s fault and I don’t think that’s true

Looking, again, for a steelman view of this. Is there ANY plausible argument that we didn’t just kill a bunch of people to no purpose and hand a giant geopolitical victory to an extremist regime after making it more entrenched and more extreme?

Thank god. Christ. But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.

Starting to think there are reasons that the US Constitution doesn't leave decisions to go to war to the whims of one man.

I guess I manifested a TACO (salad)

More, faster.

For your citing purposes, U.S. law incorporation of the prohibition against genocide: 18 U.S.C § 1091; U.S. law incorporation of the prohibition against wantonly destroying infrastructure 18 U.S.C § 2441 which incorporates by reference Geneva Convention IV art. 147.

We gotta bring back the productive kind of national shame. Not the throwing up your hands and going “what can you do, we suck” kind but the “I’ll be GODDAMNED if I let the fucking FRENCH have better TRAINS” kind

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

Yeah I don’t know about any of you but it is actually a little hard to focus at the moment

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

I really need to see more of our elected officials saying the same. If you can't call our immoral behavior from our leaders, what are you even doing here?

Democrats needs to be heading to DC tonight and gather in Congress to move for impeachment even if Congress led by Republican bootlickers is “on recess.” Schumer/Jeffries should be issuing calls for Dems to get back in DC now while have their leadership staffers prep impeachment resolutions now.

So has anyone submitted FOIA requests for documents relating to what is presumably a covert action program disclosed by Trump? www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

For the love of God idk why so many otherwise-intelligent people think Donald Trump is some sort of evil mastermind genius, and not a sundowning octogenarian whose only tactics have ever been to bully and bluster

There. Is. Nobody. Steering. The. Ship.

Rally hoping they don't get to find out what mushroom clouds look like from space

Some people get irritated but the fact is that the war on Iran is currently the most consequential issue in the world. Period. The implications are uncalculable.

anyway here’s the moon and a giant phallus

There is some stuff that Trump does that is unconstitutional and/or illegal for complex reasons that lawyers and judges have to hash out in court. And then there is stuff that is just like, “Uh, the NCAA is not part of the government, why is he giving it instructions, what is he talking about”

the Times has basically taken the “we saw two people in Brooklyn wear the same shirt so it must be a trend” model and applied it to women’s suffrage

The “force read before comment” option would literally extend my life by 10 years.

Underrated destroyer of civilization was news media getting article level engagement metrics

this is incorrect, the count is Eleven, a tesla was launched in 2018

People will get mad at you if you insist that 193-year-old Jonathan the Tortoise is too old to serve in Congress.

The f'ed up thing is an insider could make some bucks doing this, and based on recent events, that could actually be happening at this very moment.

This is just too relevant, honestly. These guys were on to something.

Good luck to the space people doing space things, it would be so much nicer if we could focus on expanding the frontiers of humanity instead of being stuck with our current regressive batch of useless dildos

what kinds of snacks do they have up there

This is true. Similarly, it is also true that I am a better figure skater than a three-legged hippopotamus.

Just so everyone knows, the Solicitor General straight up lied about the 1921 law review article he kept talking about. quick thread:

This. The court may even pair the release of the ruling in favor of birthright citizenship with the one gutting the Voting Rights Act, and the usual suspects will proclaim it’s a sign of moderation

To be fair, "Sauer gets kind of shouty about domicile" is basically the perfect summation of the day so far

never want to hear the word “domicile” again

Did SG Sauer just answer a question while actively chomping on ice?

People are really underselling how incredible "(c) he interjects and tries to directly address the justices with a weaving ramble live in court" would be Unlikely, but his impulse control has never been great and is only getting worse. If anything, an audible comment or two seems plausible.

It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows. (1/n)
