Because a complete lack of honour and self-respect is a prerequisite to working in the WH press corps. Note Collins has also stood by silently while Trump berates colleagues (always women). The men are more complicit but they are all complicit.

The next time Trump lashes out at a reporter -- a female reporter, that's who he always picks on -- one of her colleagues should ask the president if he's being irritable because his diaper needs changing. We would build statues in their honor.

What other reporters were in the room for this? Did any of them press to have her question answered?

You can really see why they fought so hard against Me Too, they're all implicated either in deed or silence and it's hugely fucking embarrassing for the Masters of the Universe

"This guy is clearly a monster, but he's a well-connected and well-resourced monster so I'm going to let it slide" is the universal lapse in judgement here among elites, and it's a huge issue that seems to be getting missed even though it's so damning of the culture around them.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

One of my most fervent beliefs is that homeschooling should be illegal. It is the domain of religious psychos and white supremacists and the kids always pay a heavy price

The kids are alright.

With all that’s horrible in the world, I can’t tell you all how delighted I am that Cleveland—a team defined in recent years by underperforming in the playoffs—has apparently decided the solution to its problem is *James Harden*.

"you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption. History won’t judge Democrats on whether they were moderate enough. It will judge them on whether they fought"

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I wrote, and also listicled, about Melania

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

It’s really not difficult to say “Fuck you and your pedophile friends” and the men who didn’t were making a conscious choice

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

Hey, everyone, the president is very sensitive about his long relationship with his best friend Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious pedophile, so please don't post about it or send those stories to your friends and family

It's kind of sad when the miniscule number of sincere libertarians realizes that 95% of their allies were just reactionaries looking for different branding

Two thoughts: 1. Kucherov had it coming 2. When goalies fight they should serve the five minutes and their backups should have to come in.

Points goblins, assemble

There’s a reason that almost 350 years after the Glencoe massacre, some Scots will tell you “never trust a Campbell”.

Can't be exaggerated: every bully believes themselves a victim. Even Hitler! Even US slave owners! It's part of the psychology. There is no amount of power or privilege that can ameliorate it.

This really is it.

Is it irresponsible to speculate about the pedophile president surrounding himself with others who took part in the pedophile sex trafficking ring run by his best friend? No, it is irresponsible *not* to.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

I wrote yesterday about Kevin Warsh, saying what everyone who really follows monetary debates knows: he's a bullshitter who uses big words to make incoherent arguments that always amount to stimulus for Republicans, austerity for Dems 1/ paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-bad-heir...

Holy fucking shit.

boy are Bezos and Ellison clumsy about their propaganda. they'd be much savvier to leave the coverage mostly intact and slowly introduce the right-wing poison

OK but Nicki Minaj says otherwise so I don't know what to believe.

Nothing has changed substantively since Alex Pretti was murdered, but thanks to Chuck Schumer and his media tour telling everyone he successfully struck a deal to "rein in" DHS, millions of normies think everything is okay now.

It’s all about the goons with guns problem that @mtsw.bsky.social has warned about forever. This is all flagrantly illegal but that only matters if there are goons with guns to enforce the law against the goons with guns who are breaking the law.

New from me: What’s going on in ICE detention isn’t just lethal (a 20-year high of 32 deaths last yr; 2 in a single facility this yr). It’s leading countless people to “choose” to give up their cases. Which was the core of Miller’s ‘23 mass deportation plan. linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%...

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

The dead have no claim for defamation. That sucks now but remember it when It Happens.

The regime warns of doxxing and harassment of ICE if unmasked not because it actually is happening, but because that is exactly what they are doing to observers and they assume everyone is as vile as them. As always, conservatives complaints about the left are all projection.

How the hell did these guys lose to Houston last year?

That is some creepy uncanny valley shit.

“Safety” is just a euphemism for segregation. They don’t want to have to see non-whites because it scares them.

This sounds great but until judges start throwing regime officials in jail for contempt when they inevitably disregard the orders it’s just words on paper.

This made the rounds a couple of days ago. If you missed it, I highly recommend giving it a read. Great insight into just how unhinged these separatists are. thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...

Yeah this column isn’t ragebait, it’s a pretty clear illustration of how dopey the Hall’s system is

A thread that precisely explains an example of the horrible truth we’ve been grappling with since the “Fuck Trudeau” flags started flapping: white Canadians as a whole are dumber and more racist than we care to admit 😡👇🏼

i'm not saying it wouldn't be cool if trump "fired" stephen miller but tbh he's never "hired" laura loomer and that hardly matters since trump is constantly consulting people who don't officially work for him. if the goons are still in the streets, it doesn't matter if miller is W-9 or 1099.

Its so transparently predictable. The Admin is reeling over Epstein, cost of living and now ICE chaos and needs to change the subject. So they seize 2020 ballots and are gonna claim some bananas new "evidence" that Venezuela or China or Bhutan hacked voting systems to steal 2020. Just wait for it.
