Fuck Corporate Media…

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

lol this is not going well for Hegseth

WOW — “We’re not having technical difficulties here, but we gotta go.” @jimcramerpeeps.bsky.social reduced to an unintelligible stammer as he tries to process the corruption of Trump making mountains of money trading stocks of companies he makes policies to help. H/T @matthewstoller.bsky.social

Greg Raiff, CEO of a private jet company, wrote an article in Fortune ringing the alarm that Mamdani might be about to tax private jet use. I then read a separate interview with him in which the following two sentences come in back to back answers.

On March 23, more than $800 million was staked on the chance of oil prices dropping. Fifteen minutes later, an announcement from the president sent the price of oil plummeting by more than 10%. cbsn.ws/42EZ8Xy

He probably prefers white Jesus to middle eastern Jesus.

COLLINS: But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better JIM JORDAN: Those are your words, not mine COLLINS: You said that just now. I quoted you.

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

pride greed lust envy gluttony wrath and sloth if you’re apathetic about all of this

We're All Standing With Ted Lieu....

Something is horribly wrong with the current President of the United States.

The world travels by horse. It did when my great grandparents were born and it did when they were my age and it did when they died … oh wait no. They had a car by the time they were my age.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

He’s barely beating @killthecomputer.com lmfaooooooo

Rick Scott’s net worth is $515 million.

A black girl born today will have fewer reproductive and voting rights than her grandmother.

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . In 2017, at the G7 in Sicily, other world leaders strolled the streets of Taormina together. Donald Trump was too out of shape to join their walk. He had to take a golf cart instead.

They think they have secured a victory, but they have only exposed the lengths they will go to for power. We see the path clearly now. Reform, expansion, and real accountability for the Court are non-negotiable. The work starts now.

Every one of these hapless fuckwits in Traitor Trump's criminal regime must be brought to justice. This is a ridiculously corrupt period in American history.

Pete Hegseth was relieved of his duties in the National Guard and ultimately stopped serving due to security concerns. Donald Trump then appointed him to run the entire military.

In her Trump interview, Norah O'Donnell read the shooter's manifesto that he's tired of rapists and pedophiles & asked for Trump's response. He attacked her as a horrible person & declared, "I'm not a rapist. I'm not a pedophile." The manifest didnt name Trump a rapist/pedophile. He just assumed.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

We all know Trump considers negative nicknames the highest form of criticism

How does American politics really work?

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

Jake Mangum spots kid in the crowd, tosses the ball, and her brother catches it and gives it to her. Dudes rock.

Russ Vought came to Congress to defend Trump's abomination of a budget. Didn't go well.

Man. Person. Camera. Jesus. Doctor.

In swedish news: "And many Hungarians went to the polls. By early evening, voter turnout had broken all records with 77.8 %" SEE!!! It works if people ACTUALLY shows up to vote! VOTE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES!

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

So now they're threatening the Pope because he doesn't like war? 25th 25th 25th

my favorite(?) recurring trope is when someone describes the logical, problem-solving, non-ideological party they wish existed and it’s just the ineffectual version of democrats that we already have

To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

I voted for Trump and now I am living in a post-apocalyptic hell hole where I am slowly dying of radiation poisoning. But at least now no one is saying "happy holidays".

So it's almost over. But he still might bomb Iran "back to the Stone Age." We're close to done. But we're not going to do anything about the Strait of Hormuz. That's up to everyone else—if they care about gas prices. But our gas prices are just fine. So...wtf?

BELOW: How Chicago feels about kings.

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

CPAC is so done. Grindr isn’t even reporting any service issues.

Poland is planning to jail all the elites in Epstein files. They have started a task force to analyse the Epstein files as they don't trust the way the Americans have handled them.

SCOOP from me: CBS owner Paramount squashed an internal panel discussion on the Arab-American experience amid the Gaza war that featured prominent pro-Palestine activist Alana Hadid – all while holding multiple pro-Israel panels, one that included Batya Ungar-Sargon. zeteo.com/p/cbs-owner-...

This is so awesome. I have a new favorite clip…
