This thread is the highlight of my day

WHITE HOUSE: Trump is headed to Walter Reed on Friday for some totally normal and routine stuff.

JPM DESK: “.. the US budget deficit has not shrunk despite the tariff revenue. “.. if tariffs are not being used to pay down debt or in some cases as a bailout (e.g., soybean farmers ..) at what point does the bond market react negatively?” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Habeas on first?

me: the democrats would be much better communicators if they took some notes from professional wrestling jb pritzker: does the thing

Kushner property loses anchor tenant

A friend wrote an Amelia Earhart book now in hard back with secret government documents from an unnamed government source… so someone has been revealing Amelia files from inside the government prior to this

Shot a priest in the head with a pepper ball, just for fun. There was absolutely no threat here.

Infectious like measles

If I have not seen further, it is because giants have been standing on my shoulders.

👏 👏👏

Marshall Mathers was the Roman god of white rappers and bite sized chocolate candies. That's why we have Eminems.

Not the second city the worst

During a shutdown, the federal government can deploy troops to invade US cities but can’t send WIC funds to states to feed infants and children. Speaks volumes about how the rules around shutdowns systematically serve GOP priorities while harming everyone else.

U.S. billionaires reached a record breaking $7.6 trillion in wealth as of September 2025, an increase of $4.7 trillion in the less than eight years, per MorePerfectUnion.

It’s wild to me how much I have failed at this I wasn’t even mediocre enough to succeed in media

Can’t see how this could possibly go wrong

Bari Weiss is no Leni Riefenstahl

I was with some publishing folks recently. They said almost every pitch now is basically, “this book is just like those other books but written, bravely, BY A MAN.” The one who could retire, did. The rest of us just got drunk

“Practiced LOL” is a pretty awesome dictation error for “practiced law”

Why am I so mesmerized by my Roomba

This happened to my late husband (oligodendroglioma). Mayo Clinic said he was disabled but we kept getting denied. Once it finally made it to a judge it got approved (2 years after first request and 1 year before he died.)

I once had cause to regularly attend a support group for heart transplant recipients, and the number one topic (behind how much everyone missed salt) was SSDI denials. Drives me crazy to hear GOP politicians talking about SSDI fraud, since it's near-impossible to get benefits approved.

My brother has brain cancer and has been denied three times, how much harder can it get?

My agent said “I worry reading books will become like Opera” Me: Only rich old white people will do it Agent: You love opera

PSA for folks visiting any National Public lands (parks, forests etc) during the shutdown: PLEASE take everything you brought in with you, including trash! Don't leave it in the bins if you can avoid it - those are emptied by National Parks/Forest workers. If they're furloughed that job isn't done.

Sounds like quite a game

Oh the joy of a new (to me) costume drama

one of the things that's so shocking about all of the recent ICE footage (they've clearly been encouraged to go apeshit) is how undisciplined and unprofessional they are, like, these people make local riot police look like pros, and i guarantee those police see that, too

CPD moved through the feds to form another barrier between protestors and feds. Enrages the crowd. Water bottle thrown. A second later, feds deploy gas, even on un-equipped CPD. People scatter, including CPD.

It’s gonna be as funny as his first military parade but maybe even more so

Really impressed with the thief who got all the cash out of my wallet at some point when I was traveling over the last two weeks A+ technique and execution I couldn’t even tell you what city it happened in

I AM STUNNED. Unlocking Justice (now available for preorder) is the #2 public policy book on Amazon, the #1 new release in applied math, and in the top 50 in math overall. Thank you for lifting this work up. If you believe in its optimistic & accessible message, plz share so more people can find it.

< stuff happens overseas > 1: "Hey don't we have that elite Army unit we can deploy there in a day?" 2: "Sorry, they're in Portland OR picking up litter"

Todd Blanche will be remembered forever for his role in the demise of American democracy. A new 501(c)(3) is making sure of that. If you are a lawyer/law student and want to help us, DM me.

The great thing about losing my eyesight is I also miss a bunch of shitty emails The bad thing about losing my eyesight is I miss a bunch of nice emails too

Book industry anecdata: from a few friends at market, advances in non-fiction seem down at least $100k from pre-Trump bids It’s a small industry, no one knows how to break out a book above the cultural noise right now…so no one is paying frothy (or liveable) advances

your state troopers are attacking protesters and journalists at broadview!!! stop posting and do something!!

Remember when it was a national scandal on the right that the White House pushed to take down a few tweets?

there are simply no words to describe the grief of this happening on yom kippur.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

The president is immune, his family is not He won’t be in power forever, and the corrupt gains are not the Trump family’s to keep once justice is served

Jews. They mean Jews.
