They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

Ackman is burning up all his AI credits crafting his next X manifesto as we speak. Pure focus and determination on his face, undistracted by his wife raw dogging the pool boy - who looks eerily like Mamdani - in the next room

Chamberlain cabled Beneš, promising that the UK had Czechoslovakia's best interest in mind; hearing this, Czech Foreign Minister Masaryk responded "If you have sacrificed my nation to preserve the peace of the world, I will be the first to applaud you. But if not, gentlemen, god save your souls."

Oh so now a reporter can’t even report the news to an exclusive subscriber-only audience

I was right about her 10 years ago.

Like AOC was a bartender, as sneering elitists love to remind us, she just doesn’t code as working-class because she’s not constantly getting her head stuck in empty cookie jars

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

(forgetting the word for antibiotics) do i need cancel culture

Here’s video of the incident

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

At 0:12 you can see Hegseth confront the reality that no one in the room respects him. Hits him like a meteor.

So um. This is what's been up with me for the last year. I hate hate hate asking but very much appreciate your support. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-me-if...

yeah this guy is dumber than donkey shit

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

One of the most interesting things about Jimmy Kimmel, and what I loved most about his conversation with Bill Burr a few months back, was that they’re both middle-aged white comedians who heard how culture has evolved, took notes, grew up, didn’t get defensive, and became *even more* successful.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.

the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech

They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say

Oh cool, a new White Lady Invents an Expensive Blood Technology Thing That Sounds Too Good To Be True and Will Definitely Turn Out To Be a Scam just dropped

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

These motherfuckers are so wealthy that they have fully exited Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and have entered another pyramid for degenerate megalomaniacs.

I really hope the Cincinnati medical community shows up to support Ayman and protests the evil that is occurring in this country at the hands of a fascist government.

The NYT's Zohran Mamdani hit piece crosses a line for me as a journalist. here's @lopatto.bsky.social's clear-eyed take on the genuine travesty of it all www.theverge.com/culture/7000...

Chris Rufo used a reverse psychology trick that would barely work on a golden retriever to launder his racist story into the New York Times. And it worked. Again. I swear he's going to show up on the NYT staff directory as "Chief Wallet Inspector" any day now.

Holdout QAnon losers screaming, crying, throwing up right now.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

ok now this is funny

Will never be able to see Todd Starnes' name again without remembering this exchange

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

Musk is mad at his robot progeny again and has now taken to scolding it over something it wrote in response to Catturd. “Shame on you, @Grok”

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

there is something quite close to unanimity among serious scholars on this point, but the Washington Post omits that in favor of highlighting one such scholar's donations to Democratic candidates

Biggest disconnect in markets right now: the wide belief that high tariffs are a negotiating tactic and will eventually sharply fall vs the admin. relying on the CBO projected $2.8 trillion 10yr deficit reduction from current tariff rates wrt its domestic agenda www.cbo.gov/publication/...

"likely to draw an uproar from pro-vaccine groups" like the opponents are a tiny special interest group and not "literally all doctors and 95% of parents"
