Lmao

This is extremely lawless and corrupt by the Trump DOJ. So, par for the course. The presumption of regularity is a joke now, and federal prosecutors won’t recover the esteem they had from federal judges for a generation. (Which, actually, is fine.)

So if I’m understanding it the outlines of the prosecutorial misconduct in the Broadview Six case is this. They tried three times to get an indictment. After they failed the second time they simply booted the grand jurors who didn’t think the conduct was a crime. Then they told the remaining …

if the US *was* a family where Trump was the father - which, to be clear, is 100% how Republicans think it works - there would have been a divorce ages ago. which is why the anti-women's rights/anti-divorce/pro-divorced dads ideology of Republicans is actually inextricable from the party

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

Fresh new American dystopia headline just dropped www.thegamer.com/grammacracke...

on average, more people attended each of the Los Angeles Dodgers' 81 home games in 2025 than work in the U.S. coal industry

I can actually hear every other lawyer groaning from this headline.

This is honestly so comically corrupt that I think you’d have difficulty convincing normies it’s real and not a made up smear

It's kind of interesting to me that the soul of the GOP base and identity shifted from Texas under Bush to Florida under Trump. Shows how they view themselves now. From some stoic cowboy to a corrupt influencer real estate bro.

We need Tallarico to win just to make Ted suffer this fate

Ambassador Mike is the same guy who goes on TV to say that the Turkish government is about to establish a secret caliphate to conquer Israel and Saudi Arabia at once

This is so cartoonish as to almost be funny. Imagining increasingly desperate evangelical preachers explaining that Trump doesn’t have to render unto Caesar because why? Presumably because what belongs to God belongs to God, right?

Bill Cassidy voted for RFK Jr knowing that it would result in people dying and he did it anyway. He obviously wrestles with it, and he should, I think he's going to hell for it

The Steyer x WIRED thing is at most a minor faux pas and the big accounts on here who are getting up in arms about almost universally work in media. Sorry guys, this is a niche beef that happens to be in your niche. Nobody cares.

hilariously, this made me like Tom Steyer more.

I honestly don't know what that title means, and my wife has worked for major news outlets for 20 years. Who is supposed to know that Global Editorial Director actually means Editor in Chief?

These graduation speakers getting booed for saying “AI will upend everything, get with the program…” Took me a while to understand why they don’t mind the booing. They know voters and consumers have basically no control over AI policy in firms or government. They’re talking to fellow oligarchs

Stealerships are America's form of aristocracy. Their existence and regional monopolies are bestowed on them by state sovereign law and they spend all their energies fighting inheritance taxes to pass down their 9 figure fiefdoms tax free.

turns out it was a bit of a whoopsie to focus on low level j6 rioters rather than throwing the ring leaders in jail immediately and tossing the keys. oh well, better luck next time!

Asymmetry cannot hold. If some factions get to be fucking traitors all the time, *without consequence* everyone else is going to (rightly) expect the same. This is a recipe for the destruction of the coalition.

What AOC said about the south was right and there is no reason why she or anyone else should apologize for it.

Lmao

It won't, but, first of all, AOC represents a New York district, she doesn't have to care how the South feels about anything. And secondly, the South has to realize that to much of the nation they are now just The People Who Sent In The Goons, and nobody cares what they think.

It is also my personal opinion (unrelated to my job) that every lawyer involved with this is committing a crime, and every person who will be involved with this fund once it is stood up will also be committing a crime.

If the only way to fix racism is with mind-reading shock collars, we should do it

I used to think I’d be good at running the reeducation camps, but I realize I’m gonna need literature for my campers. That’s why it’s never too early for the good folks at a lib currents to get to work on a curriculum

Now that we've been through this whole process basically twice, I think it's fair to say that there is no policy too forceful, draconian, or oppressive to end southern racism.

He goes on to rant about how we tolerate shit that would have been morally intolerable 30 years ago with zero apparent self awareness

That’s pretty cyberpunk i think, as far as things that are cyberpunk go.
