It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

Ezra Klein won't hear any of these concerns about how he elevates far-right-extremists against US, because his only social media is a fascist owned & operated platform which I am sure is full of praise this morning about how open he is to "dialogue" with far-right-extremists.

We’re going to have to do unprecedented things to this entire family and people should start getting comfortable with that now because it’s going to be quite a ride

These guys never think of how their actions will affect future generations, how would Rose feel if once his wife is old enough to vote she gets turned away

Absolute insanity. All because Trump can't admit that he made a stupid mistake by hiring a contractor whose only qualification was donating to Trump's campaign to line the reflecting pool with stuff used to seal the beds of pickup trucks.

The Trump administration’s murder spree in international waters should be getting much more attention. These are war crimes committed by the US military, none of whom are refusing to carry out clearly illegal orders issued by a mad king. Seems really bad.

Actually, we *should* be able to expect the president of the United States to be able to restrain himself from personally threatening to kill the negotiators from another country. It's not that unreasonable at all, you pathetic toady.

“we’ll just pay him off and get on his good side” congratulations you have now convinced him you are a convenient bank account that he can tap any time he’s annoyed

Isaac Chotiner: can you list some examples of systemic oppression green creatures face? Kermit the Frog: I’m sorry? Isaac Chotiner: well you do mention the difficulty quite a lot

Y’all acting like you’ve never seen an octogenarian drug addict blow 16M on Reflecting Pool reno cause he gave a no bid gov’t contract to a guy who looks like he sold quaaludes to The Riddler & then blame the algae bloom on a 350 ft boxcutter attack by underwater Antifa before?

No one is going to believe this shit in 20 years. No one. This was the president of the United States? And his party leaders did nothing, even though they hated him? Not possible.

MUPPET DICK

historians are divided on whether trump was actually a real person, or the stories of a large series of petty tyrants over a period of perhaps 100 years whose stories got merged and blended together back when AI was unsophisticated and new

Honestly kind of speechless. Of all the things to make common cause on. I suspect this will age as well as various other endorsements of Trump foreign policy (he's anti war! he's gonna liberate Iran!) have aged. www.ft.com/content/2472...

Making your VP to an 80-year-old President the fall guy for a lost war is probably not a good political strategy, no matter how much you like to see it happen.

Taken as a whole, Trump's 14-point "deal" represents the most astounding admission of defeat in US history. Iran gets everything it wants, including hundreds of billions of dollars, internationally-recognized control over the Strait, and removal of US forces. Iran gives up nothing.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

what a dumb fucking war this has been

New Interview: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

The world no longer exists once Trump dies so he doesn’t give a shit. Which is the deal behind all the cram session non-union monuments and such at the deadline. At the end of it all Donald Trump was just a man. Scared of dying.

it is kind of funny in very bleak way how the pro-Israel lobby and Bibi burned massive amounts of political capital to get this, probably the worst non-catastrophic outcome for them. whoops.

The swiftly approaching end of JD Vance's political career is going to be absolutely spectacular to watch.

Israel right now

Scenes from a personalist regime: the leader's appointees ok the use of government credibility to prop up his private business of producing imaginary money.

David Wachsman, a spokesperson for World Liberty Financial, said “none of its leadership or employees work for the U.S. government, and there are no conflicts of interest.” Trump co-owns the company w/ his sons and reported personally earning $57 million from it - likely now much more

I wrote about the groundwork being laid for the prosecution of Elon Musk's DOGE bros. Holding them accountable is a matter of national survival. badfaithtimes.com/the-doge-boy...

Friends, I’m not sure the stock market is real.

Exclusive: A detailed project summary of the ballroom prepared for the White House by a contractor estimated the total construction cost at $600 million — with more than half coming from taxpayers, according to a copy obtained by The Post.

Nobody expects anything of, say, the New York Post, which is why you mock them but their bullshit doesn’t upset you. The New York Times is capable of speaking plainly, like this, which is why it’s upsetting when its frequent circumlocutions protect Trump.

Did the U.S. get a good deal with Iran?

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

Repugnant

I can never get over how sad and pathetic it is that an entire political party has just been subsumed into a personality cult around the biggest asshole loser in the world

Lauren Southern's story of being raped by Andrew Tate is sad on so many levels. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Edward Luce in the Financial Times about Musk:

This is textbook violation of fiduciary duty on behalf of the Board — it's deliberately sabotaging your own institution to make a political point. Every Board member who voted for this is breaking their oath.

Just used this case to scare the living shit out of every attorney in my firm, with dire threats and refreshers on policy. I am humming a little tune.

i’m reviewing the Los Angeles primary results and i’m sorry but it is obvious that there was voter fraud. if you take the results at face value they show that 25% of voters voted for **Spencer Pratt**, an almost completely illiterate reality show moron. investigation NOW.

During the national anthem, President Donald Trump was booed by the Game 3 crowd at MSG.

Cautionary thread: do not confess to AI lawyers devised by professionally stupid techbros

Trump lives in the Fox News Cinematic Universe bubble. Every encounter with reality is a shock to him. This needs to happen more often. A lot more often.

Pretty amazing Hegseth is still doing his "woke brown wussies lose" bit after handing Iran the Strait of Hormuz, perhaps the fastest and most decisive military defeat by a superpower in superpower history.

Again, Bill Pulte is a 38-year-old -- no really, 38 -- who only holds a BA in broadcast journalism and absolutely zero experience in the intelligence field. He has no qualifications for this job at all. Aside from being a psychotic lickspittle to the president.

Wemby is unreal 👽

Merge two movies: The Godfather 2 Fast 2 Furious

Pete said "we were nothing, then we were something", & I know it's been relitigated like crazy, but Russ was part of that something. Love to make fun of him; at the end of the day he's nothing more or less than the best QB in team history. Let him retire a with us, get that jersey in the rafters.

A lot of media people are (rightfully) sad about what CBS's 60 Minutes has become, but as someone who grew up on the West Coast, I don't really share the same nostalgia, probably because it was never on immediately following the game.

Just reiterating that Trump suing the IRS in order to extract a deal essentially protecting him and his family from ever having to pay taxes again is the kind of thing that should send many people to prison. People swing from lampposts for that kind of corruption. It cannot be allowed to stand.

It’s so stupid to ask people who voted for Trump about gas prices. We know what they think, it’s somehow the democrats fault, that is how stupid they are, it’s that simple to trick them. You just say “uhhh Biden”

I don’t think we are prepared for how batshit they’re all gonna get by the time the clock really starts ticking, like if they lose in 2028, even if they don’t try to do Jan 6 again, that finally set of months gonna be…. something. Esp if this is the shit we’re seeing not even at the halfway mark
