must… resist urge… to correct the menswear guy… on the difference between a punt and a field goal… before he finds old pictures of me and sends my fashion sense to the shadow realm…

“To put it frankly, old white people have a lot of time, and they’re really angry,” Stauss said. “Having somebody that looks like your grandmother out there, shouting ‘shame’ or out there blowing her whistle, is really important.”

I feel like Indiana abandoning Trump is a tipping point. And it’s not because they didn’t want a new map. It’s because he shook them down.

Trump Pretends To Block State AI Laws; Media Pretends That’s Legal The mainstream media just failed a basic civics test so badly that you'd think their brains have been pickled by the kinds of folks who spend all their time on X (oh, wait…). Headlines across major outlets are breathlessly…

She’ll vote for all it again.

It's very clear people don't realize how terrifying measles is, or this would be front page news. Measles is absolutely brutal. Earlier this year a child died in years after recovering from the virus. Others experience vision and hearing loss, or have seizures. www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/la-c...

What actor’s facial expression in a movie/TV show will stay with you for the rest of your life?

“Do you think the color of your skin is the reason they targeted you?” “Yes. 100%.”

Jeffrey Epstein called her “my great defender.” Emails and texts show Goldman Sachs’ top attorney Kathy Ruemmler disparaged reporting on Epstein’s abuse as “rehashed crap,” in 2018 and helped craft a 2019 publication relations comment denying he got a sweetheart deal. www.cnn.com/2025/12/11/p...

And they will keep coming until they release the Epstein files.

BREAKING: A huge photo dump from Epstein’s estate was sent to House Oversight, and they just released it. Epstein’s circle includes: Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Larry Summers, Alan Dershowitz, Prince Andrew. 🧵

HOW 🤯

Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s Nephew speaks out after ICE arrest: I think what I would have to say to Karoline is just because you went to a catholic school doesn't make you a good catholic.

The hypocrisy is toxic. Trump broke the economy by failing to lead during the covid pandemic. BIDEN tried to fix that, and succeeded, but not enough, because the problems were structural. Now Trump is again making things worse but blaming Biden for his choices. Just endless hypocrisy.

What could go wrong?

Birthright citizenship under the common law, a thread: I have done this many times on social media, in print, and in media interviews, but not to be accused of taking others’ not seriously enough, by plainly stating the law and history of birthright citizenship, I’m taking the time here:

These kind of people never stop at “I think the evidence shows Jeffrey Epstein was murdered, I don’t find the evidence he committed suicide convincing.” They always race past to “EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS EVIL MINE IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE CONCLUSION.” Big fat sacks of personality disorders.

The Year is 2035. 47 continues as President for Life, propped up and puppeteered by Stephen Miller. The USA is quarantined from the rest of the world due to rampant and unchecked disease. Karoline Leavitt tells a room of MAGA podcasters that the health care plan will be announced soon.

reality has an unfair anti-Trump bias

Elimination status is already gone in Canada. We're very close. "The state has seen vaccination rates of its schools’ students decline from almost 96% in 2020 to 93.5% in 2025—for context, robust herd immunity from measles requires about 95% of the population to be vaccinated, according to the WHO"

The President of the United States has the exact same power to pardon a state-court conviction that you or I have—which is to say, none.

SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...

It is hard to overstate how shallow and embarrassing the Washington Post Editorial Board's analysis is whenver it tries to write about the law. They don't make arguments so much as they crank out half-assed jumbles of buzzwords that they hope will make Jeff Bezos happy. Don't care for it at all!

Tom Nichols on Kristi Noem: “There is no plausible world, there is no other planet, on which Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel and others would occupy senior jobs in government.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

this is red meat on a silver platter, my democrat party leadership

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up? TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

The Trump administration moved $2 billion from the Department of Defense to Homeland Security for immigration enforcement. This is an insult to service members. Stripping military resources for a wasteful political agenda doesn’t make our nation stronger or Americans safer.

The Cinnabon article is another reminder that there are exactly three people who somewhat regularly write for the Atlantic whose work is consistently worth reading

The very definition of "All hat, no cattle."

At a ceremony in the Oval Office honoring the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” hockey team, it was observed that 13 of the 20 members of the team had been Minnesotans. Trump said: “Any Somalians on the team? I don't think so!”

SHAME: These Senators voted to steal health care from MILLIONS of Americans while giving giant tax cuts to billionaires!

it is also just hilarious to insist that eight months of rush job “scholarship” outweighs decades of settled history and 140 years of settled law

A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/a-breakthr...

there are pundits who will say that immigration is trump's strongest issue and that picking fights around immigration helps him on the margins. but i think this misunderstands the way public opinion works, as evidenced by trump's declining fortunes on his handling of immigration.

If you’ve heard the “the Nazis got their ideas from the US segregationists” I beg you to please stop. This is both false and it minimizes historical European antisemitism in a misguided attempt to emphasize the nature of US anti-Black racism. It’s horrific without comparison to Nazism.

Newly Unsealed Batch Of Epstein Estate Photos Contains Rare Holographic Dershowitz

the 6-7 phenomenon is in no way different from any other catchphrase that kids have yelled out at any point in the last hundred years, there's no daylight between that and when i was in high school, the year straight where every guy kept yelling "i'm rick james bitch"

Reporter: There were new Epstein photos today showing you, Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon… Trump: He has photos with everybody. Hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him, that's no big deal, I know nothing about it.

Chavarria, a U.S. citizen, was held at the airport "for more than four hours and released only after he finally agreed to let the agents search his smartphone, tablet, and laptop computer. The agents...informed him that he had no Fourth Amendment right to resist." @pacificlegal.bsky.social is suing.

Leaked files ‘show US wants to persuade four nations to leave EU’ The countries seen as targets to follow Brexit are Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland, according to leaked details of the US national security strategy www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

National security used to stop tanks. Now it stops sofas and kitchen cabinets. Trump calls criticism treason, bullies allies, flirts with Putin, sells AI chips to China, and threatens Greenland. Our allies trust us less. The scariest foreign power? The Oval Office. 🧨🏛️

I like to remind people this is not a joke. It started in Japan. The Phanatic was there with a barnstorming team. Lasorda was manager. The Phanatic signed a box of baseballs on the sweet spot. This infuriated Lasorda. He told the Phanatic to never do it again. So he did it again.

It is the 25th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Bush v Gore ruling today. Three lawyers who helped the Bush legal team are now part of the court's conservative supermajority: Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett.

NEW: Trump’s DOJ Pressured Lawyers to “Find” Evidence That UCLA Had Illegally Tolerated Antisemitism An investigation by ProPublica and @chronicle.com reveals how the U.S. government ignored due process to gin up its attack on the University of California.

This was the moment that’s the turning point away from a post Watergate accountable presidency to Republicans knowing that if they controlled the courts, they could do anything and there would be no consequences. But we had two chances to fix it.
