Hard agree on valuing the concept of public service.

faking an assassination attempt so you don't have to go to a wedding sounds like a curb your enthusiasm episode

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

Holy crap this thread

If you're struck at how stupid people seem, remember: we're apes, give us a break.

I'm thrilled to report that Soros plays like Returnal. As always, I love the tradeoff decisions you make in the item pickups. And the psychedelic visuals are bigger and smoother than ever. Thank you #housemarque!

A game on GamePass called The Alters has me hooked. It's weird space horror, like if Mickey 17 were a video game.

Every publication should publish the names and outlets of the people who attend tonight because most of us will want to be sure we never make the mistake of listening to them again.

Whoever called the faction of the press who still want to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner the ‘Access of Evil’ I salute you

The Republican men who pretend to care about women’s sports standing in front of the actual athletes really sums their whole charade up perfectly

Rick Moranis coming out of retirement to make Spaceballs 2 should be bigger news than it is imo

A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY

I'm assuming the reporters who are debasing themselves at the White House Correspondents Dinner are going so the guest of honor at their fancy dinner celebrating the freedom of the press doesn't publicly demand they be fired.

Tomorrow will be a day that lives in infamy.

These people are plain fucking stupid.

Don’t want to jinx anything, but I have an obituary ready to go.

Just so we're clear here, Trump installed his own defense lawyer as the Deputy Attorney General and had him lead the purge of the federal prosecutors who brought cases against Trump.

Americans are simultaneously total cynics and utterly credulous. Make it make sense.

I want to vote for Democrats who know what time it is.

Those of you traveling to airports in the coming weeks, if ICE agents are unmasked, please use your phones and take pictures of them. I will be.

Loved the #projecthailmary movie!

Trump attacked Iran because he needed something weak to lash out at, and a weekend at Epstein's Island wasn't available.

JD Vance tells you lies to teach you "deeper truths". It's bullshit.

YouTube is the most boring site in the world. Always the same five videos, basically.

Heckle Trump until it's impossible to have State of the Union addresses. There should be no safe quarter for Trump.

Wrote a piece about many looking at the Epstein case all wrong: He's not the thing that connects a network of rich and powerful men; he's the lens that shows us how they were already connected. newrepublic.com/article/2068...

🔥 REP. @votebo.com MITCHELL: “I just get so sick of over and over the hate… I chose to run for office to help people. I didn’t come here to say who can I poke in the eye today.” Mitchell lights up Bully Bulso for the Pride flag ban, one of his many anti-🏳️‍🌈 bills. H/T @tndemocrats.bsky.social

It’s important that Minnesota be not just a shining example of what can be done. It needs to be a harbinger of what’s going to be done. lnk.thebulwark.com/3MCBgiK

Donald Trump is a threat to democracy around the world. My first, second, and third acts as your next congressman will be to impeach Trump, impeach his cabinet, and codify guardrails to defend our democracy. Join our fight to save democracy here: www.georgeconwayforcongress.com

I had a Post subscription because I support journalism, whether or not I accessed it.

They’ve been pretty open about this since the start!!

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

Is Maduro "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"?

Was thinking of opening a pull request for the OpenCode CLI. Then I noticed it already has +452+ open PRs. People are going to need new tools to manage all these (I assume) vibe-coded contributions coming to OSS projects.

I find myself yelling at Gemini 3 to stop taking shortcuts and disregarding instructions to the contrary. I miss how Claude asks clarifying questions before committing to an approach.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

⚖️ DoD Law of War Manual, page 1075: "For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal." ogc.osd.mil/Portals/99/d...

Disgusting. You engaged in political gamesmanship using them as pawns knowing they would get harmed and now you question *their* patriotism because some of them aren't wealthy like you and didn't want to work a high stress job for no pay?

Newsom: I cannot wait for all the punditry. Historic victories all across the United States of America. Proposition 50 winning by double digits. A new governor of New Jersey, a new governor in Virginia. I’ll end as I began: thank you for giving a damn.

Obama should PROUDLY wear an OMABA '28 hat, to put the third term issue into stark relief.

I went through all 1,700-plus pages of subpoenas released by Chuck Grassley this week and mapped out how the organizations and people in them connect. That and more in this week's newsletter! Click click click click. www.howtoreadthisch.art/the-web-that...

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

Portland, OR. #NoKings

Just going to keep pointing out that they're openly asserting that they think any criticism of the president is tantamount to "hating America" which is, itself, an insult to American values.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Folks, it's happening. We're releasing Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile this Thursday at 7 p.m. Mark your calendars. Get excited to know even less about Jeffrey Epstein.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing
