Pretty much nothing is remembered as it actually was before about 2016, and that's a huge problem in our politics

Again: why would anyone come here for this World Cup under these circumstances? www.nytimes.com/athletic/734...

That’s called a bribe.

This isn’t surprising coming from this administration. But it is absolutely disgraceful nonetheless. The treatment of 1 person is as important as that of 10,000 or 10 million.

BREAKING: A 43-year-old has died in ICE custody, marking the 19th death in immigration detention this year and at a pace on track to exceed last year’s deaths in detention.

Our ongoing national embarrassment . . .

Or, as David argues in the piece, whether to support Roy Moore

I had more to say about Platner, but I think David Frum captured most of it here for now: Cut him loose. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We must impeach and remove Donald Trump. And we will. #NY12

We sent our Secretary of Defense to Normandy to formally switch sides to join the Nazis.

I wrote a Substack about Pete Hegseth's offensive address at the D-Day ceremony in Normandy. He used what is a sacred occasion to attack allies and immigrants. bit.ly/4ockl4I

I’m running for office at age 57, and at a typical campaign event, I’m still the youngest person there. So yeah, maybe first just try showing up and doing the actual work of politics. A few young people are doing this, but not enough.

😏Pam Bondi dry-snitches to Congress that Todd Blanche has been in charge of releasing the Epstein files all along as if that exonerates her in some way; AS IF, she never stonewalled, OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE in the nastiest of ways, protecting the rich white men still wreaking havoc here and abroad!

Greg Bovino was welcomed like a celebrity at one of the world’s pre-eminent fascist confabs. Some of the organizers and other prominent attendees have: -called the Holocaust a “fairy tale and a lie" -been convicted for hate speech -vandalized a synagogue

- story leaks - White House calls it fake news - Trump confirms the initial story - White House pretends they never denied it - repeat

Trump's attempted hijacking of our 250th anniversary is unpopular. A new YouGov/Economist poll: Do you favor or oppose having the U.S. Treasury print $250 bills with President Trump's image on them (as shown below)? Favor: 16% Not sure 15% Oppose: 70%. yougovamerica.substack.com/p/trumps-bas...

the primary social crime of the near-future will be making people feel bad for refusing to think

Ice can not be reformed it must be destroyed.

You win!

Also, the people who say "let's do it like Europe does it" have never seen what most mid-level European universities look like, and have no idea how quickly kids are tracked away from going to college over there by the system. Americans would lose their shit if we did it the way Europe does.

"This is a coin-operated presidency, and they have the coins... If you have money and you give them money, they'll do what you want." Kara Swisher says tech bros aren’t having second thoughts about Trump’s chaos. They learned the price of admission, and decided it’s worth paying.

Donald Trump told Texas Republicans to turn back a four-term incumbent senator and to vote for a man who is basically a walking Thomas Nast illustration of corruption and the cult members said, yes sir, right away, sir.

Putin has won many friends among US white Evangelicals, all of whom have no idea what happens to Evangelicals in Russia.

Around the world, more than 100 of the country’s ambassadorships are unfilled—a sign of the Trump administration’s opinions about the value of diplomacy, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

All these threats about wiping out Kyiv that the Russians are sending to Trump reveal two important things. First is that the Russians are getting hurt badly by Ukrainian ranged strike. Second, they view Trump as their patsy.

Today, we remember and honor the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our country. #MemorialDay

Epstein’s survivors should sue the government for $20 billion for the harm caused by not releasing the rest of the Epstein files.

Not a new observation I know but it is still angering that this admin is using "we protect Jews and religious freedom" as a hammer against institutions it doesnt like while simultaneously telling Americans that the only *real* Americans are Christians

A small-d democratic mindset requires recognizing and accepting that no matter who you are and what you believe, there will be parts of the country where a majority of people disagree with you. This is the basic premise of federalism.

Oregon headed down the CA path where 60% of the voters will pass many mandatory spending measures and 60% (or more) will also vote down all tax and fee increases 🤷‍♂️

These are like human online bots. You could almost mistake them for AI generated images. These types of Congressmen and Senators will not preserve self-government. They are cardboard cutouts.

You can count on it, this in no way reflects what Bezos actually thinks. But it's a perfect demonstration of how the tech bros think and act. They have no hesitation to be flutters if that serves their purpose.

Absolutely! Warms my crusty old conservative heart to see Dem friends now discovering the virtues of things like limited government, curtailing executive power, and federalism. These are things that protect *everyone*

One of the reasons we have political parties and a congress is so we can fight about how limited or expansive government should be.

Republican voters in Kentucky who presumably spent much of 2024 banging on about Epstein just ejected from Congress their own Republican congressman, who helped get the Epstein files out, in order to please the close friend of Epstein, Donald Trump.

BLANCHE: There's a lot of things that President Trump is the first of. No president had been indicted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 times either COONS: Correct. No president has been indicted

Yeah? Greece? Rome? Fuck you. It still gets torn the fuck down if it ever gets built.

Reminder: Seb Gorka did not include right wing terrorism among those he plans to protect American from.
