I encourage everyone who takes these "track AIPAC" memes seriously to look at both the use of this one, and to read the fine print. J Street is not AIPAC.

just a few minutes away from Bret Stephens getting another prediction wrong

oh lmao. the most full of himself least talented all about access guy i ever worked with? shocking

so you want people to think you’re smart without doing the work. got it.

Just a reminder that Trump unilaterally deciding to give TSA money is a fundamental crime against the constitutional order but I guess we're too overstimulated to care

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

uncanny valley shit.

i hope everyone around me on the subway enjoyed my look of abject disgust as i read this.

We are seeing which European countries sacrifice for their principles

this is such a funny argument to pick because unlike some of my other takes I am simply objectively correct here, "millennial and Gen Z Democrats are extremely left-wing" is one of the most consistent findings you can pick from in American political science and public opinion

*Authors* are not. People desperate to sell the slop machine sure like to pretend otherwise though.

Uh, 'interesting' way of presenting this... the only 'authors' I'm aware of using AI are the lazy, unethical, incompetent grifters who don't give a shit about their readers or real writers. People should stop using it, not resent that they have to 'lie about it.' Jesus.

It should be the goal of all people of good conscience to ensure that as history unfolds, those who sided with the administration on this issue are treated with the contempt they deserve.

This interview from two weeks ago totally flew under the radar but I highly suggest skipping to 46:00 in the video. This is the some of the most substantive pushback I have ever seen Shapiro, or any Democrat really, receive on Israel-Palestine from basically anyone ever. It's really interesting.

She’s got lots of direct experience with campus antisemitism! bsky.app/profile/seth...

Anyway, I’m sure the folks at DOJ’s Civil Rights division can be trusted to handle this well. bsky.app/profile/seth...

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

this is how you do it www.wwnytv.com/2026/03/31/s...

The big epistemological problem economics has, which is a problem faced by few other sciences, is that nowhere near as many people are interested in paying a geologist big money to get an incorrect and self-serving answer to a question about rocks.

personally I think "Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn" is a bad thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Travel writer Rick Steves on Washington's newly signed "Millionaires Tax"

Is it weird for you that TMZ and Drudge Report provide more objective hard-hitting coverage of Trump than NYT?

Yall, she's running against Platner too. Look at how easy it is for a candidate not to suck when they authentically champion progressive policies. Please give her platform a look, support if you can, and if youre in Maine, a vote.

it is deeply disappointing - and appalling - that Bluesky is shaming Mark Joseph Stern out of providing SCOTUS commentary.

every day on this website a bunch of dubiously literate dullards think that some nonlinear conclusion they made up in their own minds is a reason to issue death threats to people and the next day a bunch of other dullards whine and cry when a few people out of the first group get banned

Actually guys the Israeli death penalty law is just really complex, the history of the conflict is really nuanced, you see you have to understand the granular details, you just don't get it, you don't have the context, which is really difficult to comprehend. Anyway Palestinians are subhuman trash.

When it comes to elite tastemaking, the Atlantic and the New York Times are unparalleled. That's why it's so concerning that both outlets are committed to an anti-trans political project. New, from @billiejsweeney.bsky.social www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Also see: "Doesn’t the fact that he is bombing the hell out of a country for no particular reason, endangering the region, and destabilizing the world make it incumbent upon you to be blunt about the problem, rather than dancing around it?" presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

I'm so sorry and I hope you blocked them, and I hope you don't stop because what you've done for years and years has been immensely clarifying and valuable and appreciated by a lot of us.

Folks in Minnesota are starting to get these. If the Feds are issuing you a citation for your work protecting our neighbors, contact our local National Lawyers Guild. They're working to coordinate legal defense of these petty offenses. nlgmn.org/contact/

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

If the Israeli Knesset members' lapel pins shaped as little nooses isn't where you say peace-out to that fascist state, you're just carrying residual nostalgia for some fantasy version of Israel that exists only in your head.

I do not think that "abolish ICE" is unpopular or fringe. I think it is an extremely mainstream view. More people should say it. More people should be calling for it.

FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.

BREAKING Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding NPR and PBS is “unlawful and unenforceable,” a federal judge ruled. Doc buff.ly/WcnQN4A

There are no solutions you can enact without a veto-proof majority. Your job will be to thwart, delay, investigate, provide oversight, expose, cut funding when possible, and impeach when necessary. Which will be often. Trump is historically unpopular. Anti-Trump is fine.

Pundit: Democrats will never win if <Democrat wins special election by 20 points> they don’t give people something positive to <record breaking turnout carries Democrat to victory> vote for and get more in line with what regular <diverse array of Democrats win red districts> Americans want.

There are AI boosters here wringing their hands about Bluesky users blocking the new algorithm/feed curation tool and… Dude, I just want posts from people I follow in reverse chronological order. I don’t want my follows buried in junk a machine thinks I want.

So the AI company who stole all of of books and now has to pay us what is really a small amount of money went about ti by AI coding the backend of their claim system, which scraped up data in clumps and spits out new numbers all the time because...it is AI coded. Anthropic: Nailing It.

Sometimes I think about how hard limrewire and all were shut down on the grounds that it destroyed the ability of performers to sell records, only for us to live to an era where streaming has so destroyed selling records even the biggest names in music do concert tours to actually make any money.

An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.

Public deserves to see for itself how police do their job. Big TV outlets didn't get this on camera. They used 3rd party video. While this clip may be from activist, I was nearby and can confirm indy/freelance cameras FAR outnumbered MSM. Democracy depends on a free press - which LAPD chased away.

It would be wise if Ds in Congress were thinking about hiring staff who understand the technical details behind the crimes the Republicans are committing. There might be a once-in-a-generation opportunity to go after financial self-dealing, war crimes, ICE, etc., but only if Ds have the muscle.

Imagine being a decent, normal, everyday guy named Markwayne. You're just going about your life, trying to be a good husband to your wife Pfluanna and a good dad to your kids Brandoug and Kirkaneezer, and then along comes this piece of shit

In retrospect this is very funny

"please stop blocking attie" is 2026's "don't let 'skeets' happen" it's too late, girl.
