A new Watergate-scale abuse of power every few minutes these days, it seems.

give him a break, guy's never repaid a debt in his life

I dunno y'all seems bad www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Finally got to write about this obsession. Elon pushed people to stop linking the articles they were talking about. He's started to roll that back, but we were left with a culture of people yelling at screenshots of headlines on monetized accounts

As ever, @adamserwer.bsky.social out here killing it www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Wishing a v happy Veterans Day to all who've served

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville has said a lot of ridiculous things. After Zohran Mamdani won in NYC, it got worse.

The point of having a standards editor is that you bring in a skilled, disinterested person to read or watch a story and point out possible bias, errors and lapses. The actual story editors can miss those things because they're so closely tied to the production and reporting of the piece.

For anyone who was sleeping, major political news last night: a judge chose a new map for Utah that will deliver a seat to Democrats. Major point in Dems’ favor that effectively neuters the GOP’s move in Missouri, much like California countered Texas.

Government, taxes, & regulation are good actually

I'm going to miss sleep

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The Trump administration really, really loathes Black people www.newsweek.com/memorial-to-...

Ooh someone's about to get an angry call from a 202 number

A new Colorado law includes requirements that dozens of cities provide multilingual ballots during local elections, bridging a major gap in access for voting in those races.

WTAF.

Cornell is seriously paying $30,000,000 to the Trump admin for the privilege of being extorted?

When I say I have gun envy, I'm not talking about the things that spray bullets And boy howdy do I have gun envy rn

Unprecedented corruption - not just monetizing the presidency by selling branded products, but selling those products directly to government employees and having the Department of Homeland Security promote them to the media

Serious question: WTF is it with members of the Trump admin and MURDERING PETS

Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe

All hat no cattle

Casada and Cothren went to prison for just very obviously stealing taxpayer money... which apparently Trump doesn't think should be a crime if Republicans do it tennesseelookout.com/2025/09/23/f...

Here's a little about former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his POS COS Cade Cothren (and yes, the Justin Jones they were lying about in an attempt to have him thrown in jail is THAT Justin Jones, of Tennessee Three [and much other] fame) www.statehouseaction.com/2019/05/dear...

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

Putting a piece about how Nancy Pelosi is a "giant" in her workplace (Congress) right above a piece about ladies ruining the workplace is a helluva choice

V v much worth a read ⬇️

We weren't on together, but @juansaaa.com is amazing company to be in!

We’ve got two brilliant experts in the bar tonight: Immigrant rights expert Juan Escalante @juansaaa.com joins us on Trump’s Immigration War, & Carolyn Fiddler @cfidd.bsky.social , Comms. Dir. for DAGA joins us on how Democratic AGs are fighting back. You should join us too! www.thepoliticsbar.com

movie where * the protagonist's immigrant family being undocumented is an actual plot point * the anti-immigrant cat brigade is portrayed unequivocally as villains * the capitalist exploitation of immigrant labor is clearly articulated * the main events are kicked off by an anti-Semitic arson attack

Imagine writing this nonsense with a straight face, wtf

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Ross Douthat is JUST ASKING QUESTIONS because a lady at work didn't laugh at his joke that one time and he's definitely not mad please don't put in the newspaper that he got mad

One of us has been rejected multiple times by the NYT Opinion pages

I'd missed this: Democratic-endorsed candidates *swept* the 6 school board races in Mecklenburg County, one of North Carolina's largest counties (home to Charlotte). This means there won't be a Republican on the board anymore; the sole GOP incumbent was ousted.

The only thing more heartwarming to me than big Virginia wins is hearing from loads and loads of folks I rarely get to talk to after said wins ❤️

This is the post that REALLY sent me, though. Absolutely legendary (IYKYK)
