To think, I couldn't even land an interview for an internship the DOJ with a top 5% GPA from Georgetown Law when I applied … (in their defense, I was a shitty lawyer! I’m just good at writing something comprehensive and structured in ~3 hours)

GOP remains in Trump’s thrall (or he spent millions to primary these guys in races that normally don’t crack 6 figures, and it was still close, choose your own take away!)

Citing the white nationalist-aligned Center for Immigration Studies is bad enough, and on a journalistic level if you even apply an ounce of skepticism to this figure it gets worse: these numbers are based on 2016 data! 2016!

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

I'd say this response, overlayed with images of Minnesota, would definitely make its way into a campaign ad but honestly there are so many like this that it'll probably slip through the cracks

Finally, Americans no longer need to worry about an Iranian invasion

Good memory

Polymarket, somehow shadier than you thought! Good reporting here from @bobbyallyn.bsky.social

Turns out, there WAS evidence of voter fraud in Puerto Rico worth investigating! www.propublica.org/article/trum...

CAN'T STAND IT, I KNOW YOU PLANNED IT

Turns out the lead plaintiff in Louisiana v. Callais, the case SCOTUS decided to all-but-kill off the Voting Rights Act with, is a big conspiracy theorist and January 6 rioter www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Free ad copy for fall campaigns: "President Grandpa has done nothing but start wars, raise your prices, kidnap your neighbors, and demand a billion-dollar ballroom. Republicans in Congress love everything he does so much that they want to put his face on your money. Aren't you sick of this shit?"

Everything is deeply dystopian right now, but at least it's all very stupid

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

These people are boldface liars. How many unlawful maps have been kept in place because of legal pretenses the Court drops suddenly? Alito and the five horsemen of our time are a national embarrassment to the legal profession.

that's right folks, once again, the Flyers are headed to

KBJ ALL THE WAY: “And just like that, those principles give way to power.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

In December SCOTUS claimed it was too close to election to block Texas gerrymander but now allowing Southern states to straight up cancel elections to resurrect Jim Crow

Dersh is such a foul little creature.

2-0 Flyers. Carl Grundstrom finds Sean Couturier in front. Great forechecking work by the fourth line to set that up.

SIXERS WIN

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

Tonight is a rare May Philly sports equinox: Phillies/Marlins 410pm Union/Nashville 730pm Sixers/Celtics 730pm Flyers/Canes 8pm Unlikely the Earth will ever spin correctly on its axis again.

>Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson were all on Russian payroll >Orban loses in Hungary >Rod Dreher immediately leaves Budapest >The Daily Wire fires half their staff was all the right-wing conspiracy posting about USAID just massive fucking projection?

The United States is not at war for purposes of the War Powers Act clock, but is at war for purposes of characterizing dissent or opposition as treason. Got it.

Only the cream of the crop for the Trump administration!

Far more Americans *disapprove very strongly* of Trump's job performance than *approve very strongly* of it (51% vs. 23%). Find much more here about Trump's job approval rating among Americans overall and among many demographic subgroups: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

the based pope is at it again

THIS is what happens when you elect a SOFT ON CRIME DA like @dalarrykrasner.bsky.social!

i don’t k ow why i felt it necessary to do this

I demonstrated two things today: that driving faster increases the risk that someone will die and that, after the pandemic, people started driving like bigger assholes. Gift link: www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

Turn me up

The entire building is singing the Sixers song as time runs out. Game 7, Saturday.

the philadelphia 76ers are going to game 7

SIXERS WIN

PLAY THE SONG!!!!

This would be less full of crap if Chip Roy didn’t vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill, which he criticized for blowing up the deficit. If he wants to actually be a principled conservative, be like Rand Paul, Thomas Massie and grow a pair of balls to kill these debt bombs.

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

Democrats shouldn't just be running against Republicans. They need to run against Fox News

playoff gritty is a revelation

Suspension of elections in order to rig them sounds like something Grant would've sent troops to quell in the 1870s.

I don’t think I have ever seen the US legal system work harder than this endless effort to give Alex Jones 700 million chances to wriggle out of consequences

I’M USING ALL CAPS LIKE I’M YELLING ABOUT THE FLYERS WIN BUT I’M ACTUALLY QUITE SLEEPY AND EXCITED TO GO TO BED FINALLY!!!!

GRITTY OT WIN BABY

LICK MY ASS SID

The flyers look gassed man.

What’s most impressive about this indictment is they somehow impaneled a grand jury without a single person who had worked in the food service biz. i bet this grand jury tips 15 on the check before alcohol and taxes

Blake Lizotte just got away with this spear on Porter Martone. no penalty.
