The American Founders also kept describing him with uncanny precision I am left to conclude that Trump is a calamity on such a grand scale that he has echoed backwards through time

just saw Hoppers with the 5yo and let me be the first to say Jerry, no @jcsalterego.bsky.social

Their natural predators (the House of Lords) are slowly being eliminated

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

There is a madman in the White House. Trump threatened to commit war crimes in Iran and declared “a whole civilization will die tonight.” This is insane and horrific. What more will it take for Republicans to join us and put an end to this?

Obviously not a substitute for Congress doing its job, but now would be a good time for Clinton, W, Obama, and Biden to say something jointly.

Awkward scenes aboard Artemis II as Trump stops ranting and none of the astronauts have anything left to say to him, leading to extended dead air

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

i respect the determination but I'm pretty sure we lost this one

A WIRED analysis of DHS records identified dozens of specialized federal agents who used force against US civilians during the largest known deployment of its kind in US history. www.wired.com/story/border...

two of the hardest things ever written are "face god and walk backwards into hell" and "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" one of them came from a tumblr shitpost and the other one came from a dril tweet about hollering at zoo animals the internet truly is a magical place

amazingly, this wasn't an april fools bit

I've been quiet about my legal case as I take it very seriously and wish to keep it as separate from my everyday life as possible, but I wanted to give you all an update that provides some context for my commentary. 🧵 (1/10) kusklaw.sharefile.com/share/view/s...

1/2 This memo identifies absolutely no source of legal authority for paying TSA. It does not point to an appropriation that is available for this purpose, nor does it point to any legal authority to transfer some other appropriation to TSA. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

89% – percentage of disaster aid requests Trump has approved for states with a Republican governor and two Republican senators 23% – percentage of disaster aid requests Trump has approved for states with a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

man i will admit, even though i figured it'd be wildly unpopular I failed to consider exactly how much the TSA was going to hate ICE for being *scabs* AND doing *literally fuck-all work* "What is ICE actually doing there?"/"They're the reason that we're not getting paid." goddamn

“11 sperm whales huddled together at the surface, strangely still and taking occasional shallow dives. After about an hour, the animals seemed to start thrashing, and a plume of blood reddened the water. The researchers feared trouble, maybe a shark attack. But it was something else.” WHALE DOULAS!

hello what did i miss tell me every thing

This is quite something from Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, in an interview with Reuters. The end of the post-war order, diagnosed in technocratic language. www.mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/pre...

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

got harassed on twitter by Sid Rosenberg and John Chell today and all i got was an admission that NYPD won't issue you a traffic ticket if you listen to the right talk show or have the right job nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/25/f...

think I convinced family friends living in Orinda suburbs to support the transit measure by saying 1) it'll affect their property value (that got their ears perked lol) 2) station closures are best case endpoint of a large gradient of possibilities if measure fails missionlocal.org/2026/03/bart...

Cocktail brian still wants to do his tricks, but age and chronic alcoholism have left him with the shakes, more often than not. jordan took the twins when they were ten. one now works at the bar, and brian is hoping he'll take over, but it's not clear he wants to. his drinking has become a problem

i cannot believe this sketch is a decade old now and every kid who would have had one of these things is now a woman. cultural win for us tbh.

We got a spicy Senate caucus revolt story from the WSJ for some Friday night fun. Murphy, Warren, Smith all named.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

I've been geeking out about this for two days and my partner is tired of hearing about it. I came in very predisposed to think this was bullshit, but now I'm super intrigued. great episodes dave! It's clear that sramek is thinking about the right things for a good life. I hope he pulls it off

@warren.senate.gov as a long-time supporter of yours (and contributor and volunteer), this sucks. and i think you know that, or you would have posted it on your account. please do better

Let's catch up on the hilarious Afroman defamation trial: defector.com/lets-catch-u...

hey man nice to see you! just following up on the Platner wife issue. 1) you ever confirm that she’s Jewish? 2) you happen to remember who told you she was?

Sometimes judges like to start off nice, lull you into complacency, but ummmm not this time!

We compiled our favorite moments of dogs enjoying snow this winter for you! We hope you love it ❤️ 14/10 for all

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

This is Super Mario's origin story

This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)

Suddenly I'm thinking it would be useful if we budgeted in Feds, where 1 Fed = 0.05% of GDP. Total USG budget is about 10,000 Feds. A $10B program is a 1 Fed program. Any time someone tries to make a big deal about a $10M program, we all laugh at someone caring about 0.001 Feds.
