To Thomas, almost every American judge who served over the past two centuries wasted their lives and careers. Rather than try to determine the Constitution’s meaning to the best of their ability, they should have all waited for Thomas to tell them what it actually meant. trib.al/1AIj0af

Viktor Orban is now 20 points behind in the polls - and so he has ordered the military to guard “key energy facilities” against a possible Ukrainian “attack.” Hungarians fear he plans a fake national security emergency or false-flag incident before the April 12 election apnews.com/article/hung...

Yes, This Latest Trump Revelation Out of the Epstein Files Seem Big talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/yes-t...

just spitballing but some of it might have something to do with 15 years of sociopathic behavior culminating in the enthusiastic embrace of violent fascism

"why must you hate innovation so!" I boldly proclaim as my undercooked algorithm prematurely murders your grandma

What a wonderful time to have a senile sociopath as president and a talk show drunk as defense secretary.

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff. For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2069...

Donald Trump is responding to a Supreme Court loss the right way. by Ezra Klein

Gosh.

There it is

Massively increased the debt that he promised to eliminate.

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

Look at all their pop art references to lord of the rings, star wars, star trek, superman etc. They completely miss the point of the most didactic material, the only reason they pretend to like classical art is they think it owns “lesser” people even though this is wholly stolen valor

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

My consistent observation of the Trump administration is that these people just fundamentally don’t want to do a real job and would prefer to just podcast all day every day.

From what I remember from 2020 during the George Floyd protests, because some idiot set a small fire somewhere, we can now claim that Minneapolis was burned to the ground by ICE supporters, right?

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency

Yes, the Trump-Epstein files.

I served in multiple authoritarian countries. One common thread that I witnessed first-hand is that when autocrats assault their own citizens, their first response is ALWAYS to claim that the victims were guilty of "attacking" the state. That's exactly what DHS/DOJ does. This is Trump's America.

When RFK Jr. was picked in November 2024 to become the next health secretary, public health experts worried that the longtime vaccine skeptic would wreak havoc on the fragile business of vaccine development. Those fears are beginning to come true www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/h...

In March 2022, we expected Kyiv to fall. If you had told us then that four years later Ukraine would still be standing and decimating the Russian military, we would have called it the greatest victory in modern history. We moved the goalposts. Russia failed

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

MAGA dimwit Peter Navarro accidentally admitted Trump-MAGA's claim about immigrants taking jobs is a scam. And as @pkrugman.bsky.social notes, not only is job growth down; *manufacturing* jobs are also down. The whole MAGA story is in collapse. Our exchange on this: newrepublic.com/article/2064...

Imagine a President bulldozing 1/3 of our Historic White House pocketing $300 million and that doesn’t even crack the top 100 most destructive, vile, disgusting things he’s done, yet here we are

So the Trump Administration DOUBLE-REDACTED the Epstein Files

It’s bizarre that we felt we had to trot out ICE at the Olympics. What did they think would happen?

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
