"But the true message—the prospective message—is that pardons will be available to everyone who joins him in election subversion in 2026 and 2028. This wave of preemptive pardons is a permission slip, an encouragement for election subversion in the future." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Kurt Vonnegut (November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007) was an American author known for his satirical and darkly humorous novels. In a career spanning over 50 years, he published fourteen novels and three short story collections; further works were published after his death.

Meanwhile, people unconstitutionally seized or brutalized by ICE agents can’t sue them because there’s no private right of action for them to do that.

"I have been on two humanitarian-esque missions with the guard, which were awesome, doing the things you see on the commercial, helping these communities," says J. "And then you want me to go pick up trash and dissuade homeless people in D.C. at gunpoint. Like, no dude.“

Endlessly screenshot-dunking on Twitter idiots is annoying your followers and keeping the idiots famous. Whenever you feel like doing it, you should take a minute, breathe, and then approvingly share something I've written instead

They can’t type on their keyboards because every word ends with a dang X, Genderx and Pronounx and Sexx and the like

I am once asking people to take seriously Jon Michaels' and my idea of "vigilante capture." It is tragically a real thing.

The unitary executive theory means that whatever job protections Congress has legislated for air traffic controllers are meaningless; all that matters is whether an emotionally disregulated septuagenarian and the chuds running his social media accounts are "happy with you."

i think Senator Lander has a ring to it

The democratic party cant be competent even a single week

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

We did it, team. We found the last ten people in the world who don't realize FSAs are a joke and a scam.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Semafor reports the same story - "Deal to reopen government starts to come together" - but while they quote 3 GOP Senators, they have no Dems on the record. Mullin and Rounds say things like "It’s just a matter of one or two things to be worked out". No specifics. 3/ www.yahoo.com/news/article...

A word of caution about the new Axios report that Dem Senators are caving. Remember the NYT ran articles for months claiming that Harvard was caving, which.. never happened. Turns out their anonymous sources were Trump staffers. Axios may be similar. But, it never hurts to call your Senator. 1/

what is stopping Mandami from directing the NYPD to focus exclusively on crimes more serious than bus fare evasion? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/n...

Things are fine.

A leading federal judge quits in protest of Trump's corruption-- & to fight it Wow www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

A question people should be asking more is how any of this relates to customs or border protection.

Truly, this is great stuff.

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

This made me realize something disturbing, which is that I know exactly what the White House smells like.

1: shoots gun at Capitol on J6 2: slueths tell fbi his name 3: he kills a man, claims self defense 4: he tells police he was the j6 gunman 5: he’s finally arrested 6: trump pardons him for j6 7: he allegedly kidnaps and sexually assaults someone www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

please god can he lose a third election in two years

Is there anything we can say to convince him to follow his original plan?

Day 4 under communism

His big accomplishment to date is dropping precision munitions on fishing boats.

The head of OLC graduated law school in 2016 and is currently facilitating murders on the high seas. "Don't give up," indeed.

No you fools you have to compete with ,,,,Harvard,,,, to be a real Ivy, not Columbia 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Well everyone knows the Trump Administration is super fastidious about following the rules about appropriations and money

If you have a license to practice law and find yourself arguing that millions of people should go hungry to help Mr. Trump's negotiations with Congress you should probably take a moment to reflect on the choices you've made in your life.

Performative murder masking a retreat from the nation's long-term strategic priorities.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

Trump v Hawaii is a good cite for the majority in this shadow docket ruling--it's another striking instance where they ignored the most obvious facts to let Trump's open bigotry control

shameful www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

During the first Trump administration, tabloid scandal was one of the more effective checks on administrative sabotage (remember Scott Pruitt's $43k phone booth?). I'm curious whether it will be similarly effective against clown show authoritarianism. www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

What if I told you there was a separate branch of government with constitutional authority in this area

Victory coins for attendees at the Federalist Society convention citing major conservatives wins at the Supreme Court:

Day 3 under communism. All vehicles must be surrendered to the Office of Transportation Administration and replaced with a fixed-gear bicycle bearing a minimum of three (3) stickers for obscure bands.

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

Day 2 under communism. The reeducation camps have opened. The first to be sent away were men who like Infinite Jest. People who claim to understand Ulysses are rumored to be next.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

It's incredible to me how much last night showed how much most media and business leaders completely miscalculated by assuming a permanent shift.

Imagine having a kid in this daycare who watches as their teacher is bodily dragged away by masked goons.
