Paul Mescal is gay in yet another movie??? How can I see it IMMEDIATELY?

It is also the biggest story in emergency management right now — because an emergency management agency literally built and operated the camp — and isn’t being treated like one. disasterology.substack.com/p/disasterol...

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

I don't think this a very good argument for voting to honor a man who thought Jim Crow should have stayed legal. democraticleader.house.gov/media/press-...

LIKE WHAT ARE Y’ALL IN MY MENTIONS AND QUOTES TALMBOUT SHEESH

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

Kimmel is back, but many Americans won’t be able to watch. Two companies — Nexstar and Sinclair — control hundreds of local TV stations and have business deals pending Donald Trump’s approval. They won’t air Kimmel tonight. I’m pressing for answers on potential corruption.

BRO. WHAT. “The reason Democrats don’t Democrats is you online posters”??? The quotes are UNHINGED lmao

This is what polls say!! Very famously!! I cannot believe people are like “don’t pay attention to Online when Online is explicitly corroborated by polls, which is usually what y’all use to deny online means anything???

This line of argument doesn’t make sense to me bc like if Dems just disapproved of the Republican Party they would say that in surveys. If people give both Dems generally and Schumer / Jeffries in particular very poor ratings, how is it elitist to believe them?

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

It’s amazing that Dems don’t see that their base has totally lost confidence in leadership and therefore some heads need to roll in leadership to restore confidence *even if* behavior does not significantly change. It’s genuinely elitism.

The debate about what Harris could've done while running put aside, her book effectively throwing Biden under the bus and affirming the already widely held belief that he did not value Palestinian Arab life as much as Jewish life means this will be the consensus opinion among Dems by end of decade.

Underrated scenario is that the Russians get a guarantee from Trump he won’t intervene if they attack NATO, the Europeans win anyway, and the next American president looks vaguely baffled when the Euros don’t clap like trained seals when he flies over to do the Leader Of The Free World (tm) act.

What I want to know is if this is the first time Homan has accepted a bribe. In a normal Administration, he would be immediately fired and a full forensic investigation conducted. But in this corrupt Administration, they’ll lie and deflect.

Yeah, I am into the idea of a Supreme Court reform that is: expand circuit courts to 17, there is one representative of each circuit court on SCOTUS at any given time, justices rotate off after 17 years. And I am particularly into the idea of the judiciary itself deciding who to elevate.

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

At Columbia University, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez delivers a powerful speech discussing the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israeli military operations in Gaza and the West Bank and explaining why Spain firmly opposed both. It got no coverage in US media, as usual.

the media won't cover it like this, because they like Trump, but anti-vax shit is like seriously, seriously unpopular, in every poll. Deeply toxic opinion. Vaccine requirements for school kids are 70% for vs 28% against incl. majority of GOP voters www.pewresearch.org/science/2023...

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

We have a handy chart...

Columbia University, main campus. Once an open thoroughfare, shaded by tall noble trees. Now closed to the public, the big trees torn up and replaced by stunted exemplars of other species, planted deep in the summer vacation, and yellowing, dying. In an novel, the metaphor would seem heavy-handed.

Brendan Carr threatening ABC on Benny Johnson's podcast reminds us it was just a year ago we learned that Johnson and other high-profile right-wing podcasters were LITERALLY ON THE KREMLIN PAYROLL and everyone on the right said "Eh, whatever, no biggie" and they're still doing their thing.

...FYI several ppl commented that The Economist doesn't name authors for many articles. which seems fine if it's a short news summary, but not in the case where it's one writer's interpretation of a study. especially when the interpretation is 180º different from the researchers' own conclusions!

...knowing Jəsse's the author (& that gender-affirming care practitioners are well aware of his biases & tactics) utterly changes the meaning of the last paragraph. without attribution, it makes it sound like the authors are suspiciously dodging the question. in actuality they know he's a bad actor!

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

America's Lysenkoist era

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

This is an opportunity to basically be Texas, but not evil. They pull this all the time: pass a clearly unenforceable, unconstitutional law, get it into the courts to make a mess, and while it's being thrown out, you are drafting the new version to skirt the court's likely objection.

The correct answer is to put a series constitutional reforms to permanent curtail the powers of the presidency on the table, then viciously abuse the powers of the presidency until Republicans agree to curtailment measures.

the strangeness of the current moment lies in how the administration is consolidating authoritarian power while also being extremely weak

Counterpoint: who cares? If nothing else, giving the color of law to state law enforcement who attempt to get federal law enforcement to comply with state law legitimizes the conflict between the two, which is very useful when the federal law enforcement is being weaponized by a would-be tyrant.

Ultimately the inclusion of paleocons will always lead to them becoming dominant through two-faced ratfucking, and they will always drag any movement they’re involved in towards white identity politics (this also happened with libertarianism)

I would assume that but actually idk if it’s true. How much of the racial aspects of American politics are about having someone to be above, you know?

Buffalo NY is a really nice town and I also had a great time in Rochester. I know it’s an expectations game but I found Toronto deeply disappointed particularly by comparison to Montreal, which is one of the best cities I’ve ever been to.

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Following the service we will upload the New and Final Forever Cut of Charlie Kirk's favorite film #RIP

The guy pushing Leucovorin for autism (Frye) works closely and repeatedly with the guy who pushed heavy metal chelation for autism (Rossignol), a practice that has actually killed children.

periodically I see the president doing things like “post crimes for his attorney general to do that were maybe supposed to be an unencrypted DM on his own personal social network” and I remember that he got elected in large part because of information security practices and I black out in rage

It is so funny watching this man trying to turn himself into a political figure.

To the haters: The one thing you're not going to succeed in is silencing my voice. 💅🏽 I'm grateful to represent great Americans who have faith in me to carry their voice, to fight, and to ensure that they can afford their lives.

Someone canceled a ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND dollar wedding

The Kimmel cancellation got the Disney adults with fuck you money taking their money and saying fuck you
