This will upset many powerful Texans, but it is absolutely necessary. The Eastland family has no further business having children in their care. And the personality cult around them must be broken to ensure the safety of all current & future campers in the Texas Hill Country.

“It is my sincere hope that the United States Supreme Court will reaffirm the animating principle that all Americans are created equal" and strike down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, said Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, who last week proclaimed April as Confederate Heritage Month.

i hate this shit

Have either gotten security clearances?

What a week.

Idly wondering how @nytimes.com would have covered a situation where Hunter Biden was sent overseas by his father to negotiate on behalf of the nation. It was an "ethical quagmire" when Hunter was involved in a business deal to sell land around the US embassy in Romania.

I used to think that threatening to wipe an entire civilization off the face of the Earth would be a disqualifying action for an American president and that responsible people would pack up his things and check him into a rest home.

YOOOO,,, Georgia Bulldogs Women’s Tennis,,, y’all should be front and center for your celebration. I gots a spot for your team in our SHE Weekend Parade in Vegas in July. I’ll put y’all front and center to kick off the parade,!!

Why are data center costs being passed onto consumers? If data centers are using the energy, they should pay. I thought that was how "capitalism" worked.

A master class by Jerome Powell.

Appalling grift.

"...I have been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work, providing additional corroborating information.”

Perfect Chicago spring weather

I think the word he was searching for was “theocracy.”

Obviously it does not matter to the people who think he's a business genius, but Trump not understanding percentages gives an indication of just how much actual work he's done managing his own businesses

"I'm suing that reporter for $250 million!" is the new "Please don't fire me, sir, I want to keep flying in the big plane and hanging out with the big boys!" www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Republicans in Congress have cucked themselves to a dying pedophile. The people who claim to care most about the constitution and America have abdicated their constitutional duty to corrupt, demented tyrant. I never want to pretend these people believe in anything ever again.

had to double check that this wasn't a parody account

Imagine if journalists thought outside the box and threw their own public event rather than going to the WHCD. Imagine that kind of standing up for principles. Imagine.

After haranguing our merch guy, looks like the trucker hats are back in stock. We'll see how long this lasts.

Truly, it is absolutely fascinating that Tucker Carlson now finds Trump to be a "remorseful" choice. That is an earthquake on the right, IMHO.

Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

The Absolute Opposite of What They Should Be Doing….

BREAKING NEWS: Trump seeks another Vietnam war, this time in Iran.

The game is rigged part 2302358. Trump levies tariffs, Americans pay the cost. SCOTUS rules tariffs are illegal. But instead of we the people getting money back, money goes to corporations. Which, ya know, really don't care about the people. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/b...

#ICYMI: I wrote about the (frustrating) attempts by so many of #SCOTUS's defenders to deflect from the *real* implications of last Saturday's @nytimes.com scoop about the February 2016 ruling in the Clean Power Plan cases—the mounting evidence that the Court treats Democratic presidents differently:

This is horrifying. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Hezbollah and Israel traded fire just hours after the ceasefire extension was announced, underscoring its fragility. n.pr/4u62Pks

My take on this weekend’s big DC schmooze fest where Trump will hang out with what he calls the fake news, and which he constantly attacks https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/23/white-house-correspondents-dinner-trump?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

No self-respecting journalist should party with the people they are covering. Ass-kissing is not journalism. Associating with people who attack you and charge you with crimes is a terrible idea.

“We have investigated us and found that we have done nothing wrong.”

It has been remarkable to see NY Times et al. presenting the current corruption as normal, particularly after seeing them go after Hunter Biden over and over again. This is a good story from @atrupar.com: open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

But they had a choice... and they chose fascism.

WOW: Americans cut spending due to higher gas prices and see no relief in sight, CNBC survey finds. This how recessions happen given 70% of our nation's economy (The GDP) is consumer spending. This is 100% because of Trump AND the GOP! www.cnbc.com/2026/04/23/a...

Part of why I've never used Uber or Lyft is I was here in Seattle when both companies were openly saying their intent was to ignore local law and get so popular that enforcing the rules against them would be politically unpopular. They've done little to get better in the years since.

But Hunter Biden sold art!

Greedy corrupt wealthy Warner Bros shareholders have approved a merger with MAGA Ellison Paramount. This is textbook Monopoly and it sets a very dangerous precedent.

Texas Tech and Texas A&M are no longer universities and we should not treat them or refer to them as such.

OK, one final post (for now) on this baby, then back in its box it goes.

"Celebrating the first amendment and raising money for journalism causes is, of course, a fine idea," writes @sulliview.bsky.social. "There must be a better way than to rub elbows in a glitzy ballroom with those who despise journalists and their constitutionally protected mission."

They want you worried about Hasan Piker so you don’t see what the oligarchy is doing. www.huffpost.com/entry/elliso...

Republicans just passed legislation in the middle of the night whilst everyone was sleeping that lays the path to fund ICE-Gestapo and CBP through reconciliation process without support from Democrats. Pure fascism and an absolutely horrendous abuse of power.

Donald doesn’t even have to use his own money to pay off witnesses for their silence.

We can't have nice things, because we have to fund ICE to terrorize, assault and murder the public.

Since I'm traveling, I've always thought it darkly ironic that Virginias tourism slogan has been "Virginia is for Lovers" despite the anti miscongeniaton law that the state enforced on the Lovings in the now famous court case. Mildred Loving - Husband, Children & Facts share.google/st22sbukCvDa...

At least 10 people were wounded today in a shooting at the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge. This comes just days after eight young kids were killed in another mass shooting in the state. Our communities don’t even have time to grieve between tragedies.

I love that on the first summer-y day of the year this entire region comes alive with such a joie-de-vivre instinctively
