It's par for the course that after Trump posted AI video of him dumping presumably his own liquid shit onto American citizens for exercising their rights, an unprecedentedly disgusting and hostile thing to do, Mike Johnson then said "He didn't mean it" and the media just went "ok" and dropped it

The destruction of the White House is such an ungodly abomination that, of course, the New York Jets are involved.

Genuine Democratic outrage at real scandals never gets the press saturation of performative Republican outrage at fake scandals.

"Are my migraines hormonal, or am I thinking too hard about how Peter Thiel has more money than all nurses on Earth combined?"

If I ever wrote anything complimentary about Fetterman, I apologize.

45 yrs of US history, in 25 words:

POTENTIAL?! He’s LITERALLY stealing from us.

Lankford was in the Senate when the Intelligence Committee wrote its giant report concluding that Russiagate was not a hoax, and it's criminal negligence by CNN to let him say this on air with no pushback.

This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

I have held this as long as a body can hold it. I need to live my truth: morning people are annoying af. Thank you.

Taking in refugees isn't just a nice thing we do — we have a legal obligation. The 1951 Refugee Convention came about specifically because countries like the US refused entry to Jews who were trying to escape Germany, because the world didn't ever want that to happen again.

The "anti-woke" backlash was always about white collar labor competition from nonwhites, not hr bullshit. bsky.app/profile/phil...

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

We were actually getting somewhere, too. 😞 @sbmitche.bsky.social www.library.hbs.edu/working-know...

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

i think one very clear lesson of 2024 is necessity of having media infrastructure to reach public. right now legacy media is either passively or actively complicit and social media increasingly owned by allies of administration

that last line

Paying for healthcare might be a problem for people here, but folks will be happy to know that Argentina's right-wing nutjob president says he has an unlimited supply of dollars from Donald Trump www.bloomberg.com/news/article... (The government pays for healthcare in Argentina.)

For more than 20 years I relied on the MMWR for news every week on what was going on, disease-wise, around the country. You often got excellent blow-by-blows about disease outbreaks.

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

They're speedrunning concept creep. If they think they can declare war on cartels overseas and blow boats out of the water, they'll do it here, too.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

So these same justices who say it's ok for states to ban trans health care for minors are going to forbid states from banning using torture therapy against LGBTQ children? Monstrous. This is an ideological court that is hellbent on imposing Christian nationalism on the country.

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen... The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

this is the jacket's breast pocket lining pulled up to make it look like a pocket square

**NOVEMBER 4** Election Day reminder to all my Pennsylvania friends.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not. “Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration. @politico.com had a big piece about it.

Not to be overly dramatic but don't ever say what happened to Khashoggi can't happen here. We've had a lot of things happen here already that "can't happen here"

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

This is a much better use of my tax dollars than, say, cancer research.

imagine being one of the losers at these networks who keeps caving to his demands and then he's literally like "lol last time I shook 'em down they licked my boots for a week, let's see what else I can get them to do" like aren't you. embarrassed. at all

In case you’re wondering, it’s barely fall & our children’s hospital is already almost always full with kids boarding in the ER. And the pediatric workforce is stretched thin. Our system does not have the capacity to care for the influx of vaccine preventable diseases that is coming.

If you spent even one second of the last decade indulging the free speech claims made by the American right in earnest, I genuinely think you're lacking in intelligence. I do not think you have what it takes to deliver sound commentary on American politics.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

i’m gonna fuckin lose it

Thank god we cut funding to pediatric cancer research.

I predicted Trump's election rigging plans would include "ramping up plans to expand investigations into groups they view as a threat, including pro-democracy orgs, voter reg efforts and gotv initiatives" Exactly what they’re planning after Charlie Kirk's death www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

In the crush of days' news, this -- and red-flashing-light alarm over it -- has been lost. Listen up: The Ellisons, the miniMurdochs, want to turn CNN into FoxNews Jr. alongside their terminally tained (C)BS (the B stands for Bari). Let's hear some shocked shouting, people!
