Long live the jury trial in America.

fwiw i think one reason why Trump is avoiding negotiating with Dems or really meeting with Dems is that they're hiding his condition.

And I don't mean this as an issue of mere desire, as Will acknowledges here, you're dealing with an intensely hostile media environment, and trying to eke out a tiny corner of the mindshare of what people's default internet experience is. So who, other than Will Stancil, is suitable for that job?

Seems bad

Sort of a lucky break for the fallen that Dr. Oz was right there. Obviously he’s a grifter but is also is like a real, actual heart surgeon

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop. Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.

Goddamn

Well this is obviously grounds for a mistrial

I’m going to be honest, I am not quite understanding the strategy here, “we are directly fucking up your travel, blame the other guys” seems to be missing a couple of steps

all you really need to know that andrews is an idiot is that she is an unrepentant white supremacist but if you needed any more evidence you could just listen to her attempt to reason

looking forward to more hard-hitting journalism from the times like "Does the Negro Belong in the Modern Office?" and "Do Homosexuals Have a Place in Schools?"

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

“Not take it personally when their leader made a choice they disagree with” is let’s say an optimistic vision of historic male behavior, the Ottomans instituted a practice of royal fratricide to prevent the inevitable violent conflict between brothers with claims to the throne

What

I shall ride with the Khan

This seems bad

Ummmm

Ross Douthat right now:

This is the sort of thing you say if you have absolutely no knowledge or criminal procedure or law enforcement and also lack the common sense God gave a walrus

The measures the GOP will take to try to unfuck the Great 2026 Dummymander will be increasingly deranged

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

He’s very senile

Many of our elites are living in an alternate reality mediated by their phones and social media algorithms. Tonight is a good reality check

Atila the Hun:

i'm still seeing people say things like "they don't intend to win elections", and, like, look at last night's results. those are not outcomes you can reject through slim efforts at trickery, those are overwhelming defeats that can't be ignored. stop letting your doom brain do their work.

She sure fucking does, good lord

The democratic socialist future of America will require millions of Leslie Knopes doing the thankless work of the bureaucracy required to provide services to the people. If you think people like her are "neoliberal shills," you're not really a democratic socialist, you're just a cosplayer.

THEY USED TO CALL US WOKE NOW THEY CAN CALL US WIDE AWAKES

That isn’t what you what to hear from the judge

catwoman didn't vote (felon); joker didn't vote; poison ivy and bane voted mamdani (left-wing); mr. freeze, scarecrow, and harley quinn voted for mamdani (edpol); killer croc, two-face, and clayface voted for cuomo. penguin voted for adams (also on the turkish payroll).

👁️

if i were running for office i would absolutely call my volunteers “the wide awakes,” i would hand out wide awake pins and stickers and hats for people to wear and campaign events would have wide awake banners

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture-- which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy

It’s becoming increasingly clear to me that we need to teach kids how to watch movies and TV in school

it is insane to describe a local government official as neoliberal

I can’t tell you what exactly but the behavior of MTG and Curtis Sliwa—who are both diagnosable loons—as compared to Republican tulpa Mike Johnson contains some sort of insight

Lmao keep digging buddy

lol

I would not describe myself as a Garland defender but there are reasons why a federal prosecutor might not want to rush an indictment in a big case

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions

The Spanberger-Mamdani-Kristol National Front: And *WE* will make them PAY, FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE

I support the Holy Office in its persecution of the American Heresy.

racist tradcath has to be seen, I think, as its own form of heresy

“The Horus Heresy Heresy.”

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

Oh come the fuck on

One thing happening here is that there are a lot of Latino communities that understood themselves to be quite distinct from recent immigrants in 2024—often quite reasonably, there are like 7th generation Mexican-Americans in the Southwest—but it turns out that DHS does not make that distinction
