Prison is too kind a fate for the people responsible for this atrocity.

the "kidnap a significant international star" fuck-up happened a little sooner than i expected

God. What an adorable kid. Idk how you look at this little guy and see a problem.

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

How is this not child abuse and child endangerment

Maybe the most egregious formalized violation of the 4th Amendment in my lifetime?

I'm so tired

This has, quite possibly, been the dumbest two weeks of politics I have ever seen. Just full on rake stepping idiocy from everyone involved

I feel like I'm watching a train crash in slow motion

Mark Rutte must have experience negotiating with toddlers

right, the MAGA moment can very much be understood as "the miserable assholes have figured out how to hack previous norms of assumed good faith and basic human decency to run rough shod over the planet"

The most important technological revolution of our lifetime has nothing to do with AI: Important to realize also that, once constructed, solar infrastructure just keeps working*, for decades, with very little additional cost. There's no need for a constant stream of inputs like fossil fuels.

Man whatever

These people are sick.

Just a ridiculous situation. The Trump Administration is operating in total bad faith and is completely trying to manipulate the energy markets to benefit oil, gas and coal. The party of free enterprise everyone!

This is why I always emphasize that "the media just likes Trump for clicks and ratings" is not accurate. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is the worst in political history and instead of sensationalizing it, they repeatedly minimize it and downplay it despite massive public interest

US factory construction continues steadily declining as CHIPS & IRA projects either complete or cancel—in official data released today, overall US manufacturing construction has hit the lowest level since late 2023, down 11% from its 2024 peak

One of the only times in recent memory I can recall it working the other way was Biden working behind the scenes to make sure Bolsonaro's coup failed in Brazil, which was so unusual that Lula was like "what the fuck is going on? Didn't expect you to help but ok"

Nuclear restarts are bearish for #natgas: this could erase somewhere between 5 and 8 million tonnes from Japan's annual LNG demand, or roughly 5-7% of the country's total LNG imports. #JKM #TTF

Yes Novo Nordisk and Maersk, very irrelevant companies

Could be very interesting if Trump is successful in installing a bunch of crazed MAGA nominees. Long shots but these numbers have to scare the crap out of like Moody in FL and Cornyn in Texas.

do you guys ever think about how Terry Pegula removed his daughter Jessica, probably the only independently successful child of any NFL owner and certainly the only one with experience as an elite athlete, from the Bills ownership succession plan for publicly revealing her mom's cognitive issues

Yeah the Trump Admin is cooked on this Fed issue. SCOTUS is going to side with "lets not crash the financial markets"

LOL, Barrett: Uh, guys, why are you spending all the time on this instead of just having the hearing required by the injunction? How could this possibly be irreparable harm? Sauer: But we don't wanna

LMAO - I'm not sure "please remember you are little bitches for Daddy Trump" is a persuasive argument

I’m Spartacus but for I Had An Affair With Kyrsten Sinema is an incredible bit

[REDACTED]

what do you MEAN Al Gore heckled Lutnick at Davos

When you are being too much of a prick for John Roberts ...

If that’s not a national emergency then what else could be

I find it absolutely INFURIATING that Trump treatler voters voted to make everything *more* expensive.

I love that SCOTUS is avoiding handing down their tariff decision in the exact same way I avoided telling my dad I put a dent in my HS car. "Maybe after finals"

god linker is loathsome

Sort of impressive this is missing everyplace with the infrastructure to deal with it

The excitement/hopefulness on Bluesky upon the initial reports of Air Force One turning around was probably nothing compared to what they felt in Davos.

Spanberger making moves?!

I have this feeling that I’m going to just know it happened when it happens. Like a leaf will fall or the wind will change and I will feel peace in my heart.

It’s the Estonians I’m telling you

Trump is the first pro-measles administration this country has ever had.

I’m becoming socially conservative in that I’m becoming a real tightass about civic virtue & honor. Fuck your boyfriend & his husband wearing dogsuits in private if you want, I don’t care at all, but I’m becoming pretty humorless about people feeling they have no obligation to any civic project

Neighbor who hates progressives, says democrats are doomed, is furious at immigration, defends Trump sometimes… Fawning over Spanberger. Vibes. It’s all vibes.

Nice clip to put in every single congressional ad in Minnesota in the fall

I wore shorts this weekend 😎🌴

imagine having sex with jd vance lol

Exactly - Trump’s moratorium on new renewable power is both ruining the environment *and* driving up power prices. It’s a stupid policy on all levels

Being governed by people with no sense of curiosity or exploration is truly terrible. What small terrible people.
