Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

‘No! Not Larry Summers!’ Wails Devastated Nation

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN And they are all Trump supporters "Liberal media" indeed

See, I told you. I TOLD YOU that the freaking filibuster is why the Democrats caved in and gave Republicans everything they wanted! Democrats sold out the country for an institutional privilege that doesn't even help them.

My thing is that 15 is not “barely legal.” It is, quite comfortably “Statutorily ILLEGAL”

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social mocking Ben Shapiro sudden righteousness re fascist conspiracies: "You built this!" In the same sentence, Longwell airily dismissing Liberal critique that Never Trumpers helped build the party of bigots & imbeciles that made Trump possible: "That's not what happened."

@timmiller.bsky.social : Society doesn't shun terrible people nearly as much as it should. If you've been awful, and have paid your debt, go get a janitor job but damn it you can't have the spotlight anymore. Also Tim Miller: All hail the leaders of The Resistance, Bill Kristol and Liz Cheney!

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

i basically wrote this story in july knowing it would be evergreen. because the republican party has a pedophile problem and neither the msm nor democrats speak up about it enough. Why are Republicans so obsessed with pedophilia? www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

"I'm an academic who published a racist piece of shit book that should have made me a laughingstock across the world but instead I get to bloviate in the Washington Post. Cue the incredulous reactions." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Every day there are multiple instances of blatant corruption. Our government policy is for sale to the highest bidder and every bad actor in the world knows it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

Writing the part of my book explaining how, under Clinton, Larry Summers made crushing the possibility of regulating derivatives his reason for being; derivatives crashed the global economy; Obama made him his top economic advisor; THE END. Much more depressing than writing about the Tea Party.

I don't want to jump to any hasty conclusions here, but this email exchange from 2011 between Jeff Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell about Donald Trump having spent hours alone with an underage girl does seem like it might be bad for him.

Google and Apple are with the fash. www.404media.co/google-has-c...

No fash takeover absent elite narcissism like this... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

Obnoxious! I, again, invoke the Peter Principle to describe the racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, anti-LBGTQ+, xenophobic sycophants and incompetents running rampant in the #TrumpCabal, aka “All the President’s Sycophants.”

If you thought sending horrific, racist texts was enough to get you shunned from political service, think again! trib.al/v2wPrV0

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social: "Do you think that JD Vance is a fascist?" @petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "If it's convenient for him to be a fascist, he'll be a fascist." #TribFest2025

The “Epstein Files” saga shows that Republicans were only ever interested in using sexual assault as a pretext to smear political rivals and deprive LGBT people of their constitutional rights www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

True comedy is watching Dave Portnay trying to use a hammer

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

that's in part because costco feels so old fashioned. the approach generally seems to be, "will this provide additional value to our customers?"

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them. I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

They’re not cowardly. They’re complicit. Assuming they’re cowardly gives them the benefit of the doubt of being in opposition.

Like I fucking said.

There are wide lanes open for Democratic candidates who believe in something other than neoliberalism and insider trading.

So Dems lost Matt Yglesias, Chris Cillizza, Jonathan Chait, and—now—Ezra Klein. That’s how bad their decision to cave is.

A friend said: "bet there was a jump in bitcoin xfers before the dems caved." (I try to put a positive spin on things; but just nodded my head silently.) 😥

Disgusted, demoralized and despondent. Democrats held the biggest protest marches in history, swept nearly every toss-up election from coast to coast *this week* and saw the same polling: voters blamed the GOP for the shutdown. They didn't *get* rolled -- they rolled themselves.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

America’s chickenshit elites problem continues to be the biggest obstacle to fighting Trump www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
