Watching food shows like No Reservations and feeling joy about the world again is very important

jesus fucking christ anton

Of the seven (?) boat crews the president murdered, it looks like perhaps one of them was involved in drug smuggling. That's the one with survivors they repatriated, and the only one claimed to be "semi-submersible." I am going to presume the other six were fishermen in the absence of any facts.

Very honorable.

It is all ironic given DJT Jr. is one of our preeminent coke heads (allegedly)

Squirrel tongue!

If I was a veteran or enlisted person, I would be demanding Hegseth’s impeachment and court martial proceedings for everyone else.

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

Social cohesion can’t endure without some sort of penalty — opprobrium, shame, what have you — attaching to baldfaced, unrepentant lying.

I’m genuinely so ashamed this is my government.

He sat for 40 minutes deciding what was more important: his job or his dignity, soul and the honor of the US military. He chose wrong.

Killing helpless people in the middle of the ocean after deliberating for over 40 minutes is the definition of premeditated murder.

The thing to understand is that the people in charge of the party are snivelling cowards raised on horror stories of the 1972 and 1984 Republican landslides.

there’s no other explanation here that makes any sense at all, they were sitting in the water for over 40 minutes on a capsized boat that got split in half by a hellfire, with 9 of the 11 crew dead. bradley killed those last two because he felt like it and because he could.

this manages to legitimately be way worse than all the leaks that were being fed to the papers last night

Bradley and Hegseth need to spend the rest of their lives in cells at a minimum

The fucking gall and arrogance is beyond description. France and Germany should tell us to fuck off.

HUGE: In a letter to Congress, more than 140 solar companies detail how the Trump permitting freeze on renewables is worse than imagined and hitting copious projects on private lands They’re asking Congress to intervene and say “bipartisan permitting reform” won’t help without forcing Trump’s hand

A dark part of me is like fuck it do it because I don’t see how the current Administration doesn’t collapse along with the Court. But it would be horrible.

Absolutely not lol

As Kagan notes, SCOTUS has given states a cheat code to enact illegally racist voting laws: just pass them close enough to an election that the Purcell principle will bar judicial review! Under this logic, courts couldn’t block actual Jim Crow laws within a year of an election. It can’t be right.

Everything SCOTUS is doing is bad in the short term but it’s getting undeniable for a median Democratic Senator and legal community to deny this court is an existential threat to both liberal politics and the rule of law.

Senators need to start being asked if they support court reform

Yes, no action Democrats need to take to restore freedom and the rule of law can happen unless their first act is to rectify the court. Everything depends on that.

Gotta pack the Court.

Which is why this is Calvinball. California's process and the constitutionality of it has nothing to do with Texas', and yet, the Supreme Court majority is just out here playing politics instead of even pretending to apply law to determine cases. bsky.app/profile/josh...

Well IMO its both but fair enough lol

So this kind of thing is genuinely extremely useful for building public support for court reform.

you can discriminate based on race if you're doing it for partisan reasons, and not purely out of racial animus

Imagine if it just doesn't get rebuilt during his presidency lol

You aren’t going to believe this. But there’s an important distinction between detaining someone as a law enforcement action in an interdiction and summarily killing them.

US battery capacity rises 59% with 14 GW added in 12 months, says EIA www.pv-magazine.com/2025/12/03/u...

Woof. Howell is highly respected btw and had to deal with Kavanaugh's review when he was on the Court of Appeals for the DC Cir.

This bar gets a seal of approval.

She did it before he went on stage?! That's hilarious.

Well yeah he was a SEAL in Afghanistan so the odds are decently high

Man the very obvious purge of minorities from the national press is so depressing.

*sigh* we are going to have to run a man in 2028

1. It is so funny that Pete and now Shapiro have zero movement with Black Democrats 2. Gavin Newsom es la melodía de la callé? 3. Please do not understand Newsom 2028

Need history/politics books recommendations for a 85 year old grandpa. Big lib and also an LA Latino who likes that subject.

I’m immobile on the franchise, human civilization cannot flourish without it. Representative democracy with a written constitution is the best governing system. That said, if you’re an adult watching “Diaper Diplomacy”, you shouldn’t be able to vote and all your past votes should be a zero.

Never been more confident in something not happening but AI will likely put downward pressure on legal fee estimates and caps.

I'm very excited for the golden retriever wrapping paper I got for my Christmas gifts :)

I think Talarico probably has the best shot in the general, Allred can point to a record of overperformance at least, I don't think Crockett winning absent a complete implosion of the Texas Republican Party is plausible.

Beyond the actual war crime, Admiral Bradley is doing a grave disservice to the honor of the US Military with this desperate scramble to save his own skin. Its beyond shameful and has personally broken my trust in the enlisted service.

Nor could that boat, before it was bombed, reach the United States. That’s important because it refutes the laughable claim of “imminence” necessary to wrap the strikes under the auspices of a lawful armed conflict.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

The fact ICE focuses their operations on fucking Home Depot is just like some combination of comical, incompetent and disgusting. The image of these goons chilling in a strip mall parking lot waiting for Latino guys to show up is a dark farce.

It is fairly obvious he is in congestive heart failure and yeah the media is hiding that from you.

The Trump Administration really committed a grave crime with the destruction of USAID. Really hope we can resurrect USAID.
