I take more than my share of shots at Quinn Emanuel but they have done great and difficult work, at substantial risk to the firm, for Abrego Garcia. Sincere thanks and respect.

I’d wager a kidney that the typical millionaire/billionaire who takes advantage Trump’s gold card grift is far, far more likely to extract money from taxpayers through corruption/corporate welfare than the undocumented, low-skill workers they falsely accuse of leeching public benefits.

Can you imagine the NHL being this cool? Imagine Connor McDavid going out of his way to dust Matthew Tkachuk at every opportunity because he literally works with the Trump admin. You can't because the NHL just isn't that cool. MPP is though.

When the best women's hockey player in the world, possibly in history, goes out of her way to wreck a player multiple times, it's about more than a couple social media likes. Marie-Philip Poulin destroying Britta Curl-Salemme repeatedly. MPP is not a dirty player, this is clearly personal.

I see ICE have discovered Starlight Tours, one of the grossest racist practices Canada’s police has used against the indigenous.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Similar thing for me and the NICU. Oh, my kid needs to be transferred within three hours to stay alive? Hold on, let me call around on Christmas Eve for the best price on a condition we haven’t even ID’d yet. These people are deeply unserious. Signed, another economist who generally likes markets

The Thunder might be the best positioned team in my lifetime. They are defending champs and currently steamrolling the league to an unprecedented degree. Their top 9 players are 27 or younger and their oldest is 31. They have all their picks and a pile of additions swaps and picks. It’s unreal.

The Thunder have outscored their opponents by 17.5 points per game. The NBA record (held by last year's Thunder) is +12.9 ppg.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I get the feeling that playing Lee Raybon wasn’t much of a stretch for our boy Ethan (complimentary).

the united states is currently being led by a bunch of little david dukes with a senescent outer-borough grand dragon at the top

Bill Fremp? Is that you??? (H/T @kentremendous.bsky.social )

We assumed that chunks in Roman cement were the mark of poor mixing. Turns out they're the key to the self-healing properties that have made the cement so durable. 🧪 (By @humbertobasilio.bsky.social)

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Stunning admission from Trump in his Politico interview. He confesses he knows almost nothing about the drug trafficking of the guy he pardoned even though he helped bring 500 tons of cocaine into US. Trump also reveals his narcissism makes him easy to manipulate: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Absolutely wrecking yourself for a gimmick McDonalds ad because the revolutionary labour-saving technology doesn't work, is pretty funny tbh.

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

In The New Republic, historian Holly Brewer compares the Court's decision to Godden v. Hales, a 1686 case affirming that James II was above the law – which was only repudiated when James II was overthrown in the Glorious Revolution. newrepublic.com/article/1833...

Bill Kristol just lighting stuff on fire out here.

“You’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. A terrible reporter.” Trump again attacks a Black female reporter, ABC’s Rachel Scott, for asking about releasing the full boat strike video - which he said he would do 5 days ago And the other journalists stay silent🐔

Boycott TSN, RDS and all their advertisers

I feel like AI slop ads is a “woke mob/cancel culture” initiative that everyone can get behind. These companies should be bullied into submission on this absolute garbage.

The Thunder have Shai and a bunch of interchangeable parts (harsh on J-Dub but his absence had no effect on them). No other all-stars, let alone superstars. And they are dominating the league at an unprecedented level.

I feel like the sports world is sleeping a bit on OKC. The last two times a team cracked 70 wins it was a huge deal all season. The Bulls featured Jordan’s return, and they also had Pippen/Rodman/Kukoc. GSW had the Splash Brothers, Draymond was a DPOY contender, Iggy a former star-turned-role-player

Yes. What this thread says is so obvious to me and I kind of feel like the only way it's not obvious to you is if you were extremely keen to take part in the whole moral panic, and realizing the true nature of it made it less fun to indulge.

It is true that New York had a religious exemption for student vaccines before 2019. But the reason lawmakers abolished that exemption was because parents began abusing it at an unprecedented scale and allegedly spurred a horrific measles epidemic. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ. For all this he received death-threats throughout his life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Th....

I'm going to say this once more: The anti-birthright citizenship ppl aren't saying anything new or interesting or which hasn't been refuted for a year. You don't gain anything by amplifying them, and in fact you lose by making it seem like The Left is out to get them. Let them put it in a brief.

They're going to destroy public education in the United States - part of their plot to enslave us - and they don't care how many of our kids need to die to make that happen. This is explicitly what all the people who helped Trump win were trying to achieve.

The Supreme Court just set aside a 2nd Circuit decision upholding New York's requirement that all school students, public and private, obtain certain vaccinations, without any religious exemptions. It orders the 2nd Circuit to reconsider the ruling in light of SCOTUS' LGBTQ school books decision.

lmao they put the World Cup in America and now it's got commercial breaks.

Still really hung up here. I've been to open-casket funerals for people who have had autopsies who looked more lifelike than Sly here. That's a hairline that would get you a C- in mortician school. bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Not sure I understand the news value in bringing Tom Cotton on your TV show to repeat a monstrous lie you watched him say on television earlier this week

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually

RICH PEOPLE NEVER EVER LEAVE WHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE IF THEIR TAXES INCREASE FOR THE OBVIOUS REASON THAT THEY CAN EASILY AFFORD IT

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-...

He’s right. I *hate* it but those are the (rigged) rules of the game, and we can either play by the “fair” rules and lose democracy or we can play the game sitting in front of us and then fix the rules to be fair again after we regain power from the cheaters. It’s not cheating now. The refs say so.

this is your fault, Bill personally, specifically, your fault you could have blocked this guy, you more than anyone had the power, and you chose not to do it you own this and I hope you choke on it

I am a woman who joined the Let’s Rethink Chicks Having The Right To Vote Party and I am concerned they do not take me completely seriously, somebody please help me

You have to understand it in the Nazi worldview. Just look at Musk’s posts. Brown people existing, and potentially trying to move to America, is an existential threat to Nazis. The drug stuff is just a ruse. They want to make it deadly to come to America.

Agree it would also be murder if they were drug smugglers. But drug smugglers don’t put 11 people on a small boat. That’s valuable weight/space that could be used for more drugs! These monsters double-tapped a bunch of refugees.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

Public smoking bans just got in under the wire, too. Younger folks might not realize how rare they used to be and how hard they were to enact.

One of the reasons a lot of people aren't taking Trump's actual fascism seriously is because of leftists calling everything they don't like 'fascist' for the last 6 decades. No, Ontario is NOT a 'fascist state'. We are governed by a corrupt idiot, but not a fascist in any meaningful sense.

For Nazis like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem, “being brown in America” is the real crime.

North America is awash in F-150 SuperCab KidKrushers and this MFer is pretending fuel efficiency standards killed the station wagon.
