Jan. 16, 2025: A SpaceX Starship rocket explodes over the Caribbean. Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone." Their passengers are now unwitting participants in a test run gone wrong. (THREAD)

Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

Watching Trump speak and justify why the US is entitled to invade another country and kidnap the president makes me think that when we started talking about the “post-truth” era, we had no idea of how deeply post-truth it’d become. Perception of reality is now random and optional.

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

The crowd at UGA and Ole Miss leads the CFP in people who probably have called ICE.

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

MTG is trash. She is beyond vile and has done so much damage for the past 5 years. Leave it to mainstream media, establishment hacks, and "moderate" liberals to embrace and elevate her.

This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books. Why are these people such freaks?

The guy who put a 19 year old named Big Balls in charge of gutting key government services: “experience matters when lives are at stake”

With the Bills’ loss to the Eagles, the Patriots are the AFC East Champions for the first time since 2019. New England won just FOUR games last year 😳

I've often wondered, why did all major US institutions from big law to Wall street, media, and tech, roll over and show their bellies when faced with an onslaught from Trump and his administration?

more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment

Trump’s second term has been so lurid in its corruption that it was genuinely hard to narrow this list down. But the biggest scandal of all is something Trump didn’t create... trib.al/gkfQj9U

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

For ten years, Tesla FSD has been the grift that keeps on grifting. I don't expect that to change in 2026.

When the Trump administration cut off food aid to one of the world’s largest refugee camps, it left hundreds of thousands of people to starve. This is the story of one mother’s daily battle to keep her three young sons alive. By Brett Murphy and @annamaria.bsky.social, photos by Brian Otieno

NEW: A review of more than 100 Alabama court cases found some immigrants saw harsher punishments than citizens, even when they have fewer prior convictions. Defendants said they believe their citizenship status tipped the scales of justice against them. By @amyyurkanin.bsky.social

The GAO probe found that even though the FDA has long been empowered to force manufacturers to pull defective devices from the market, the agency has only done so four times. The last time was in 1992.

Amazing job, Colbert! What do y’all think? #Resist #JDvance

This ridiculous man is the most toxic squeaky figure in Silicon Valley: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

JFC. Also, this: “Before joining FEMA, he was assistant secretary at DHS' office for countering weapons of mass destruction, which he has told staff he will continue to lead.” Huh?!

Because why help people?
