SPEECHLESS. LFGK

WU TANG BETTER GET A RING

Me if I was a Spurs fan right now:

it’s such a pleasure to root for nyc and watch us win, I’ll keep doing it

I don't really follow basketball but it has been SO FUN seeing how excited everyone is about the Knicks tonight and I'm so vicariously happy right now

This is an actual serious question: So in the new world where we ignore absolute moral degradation of some candidates because of “Trump,” does that mean the other side still gets a pass too? Because that’s a shitty fucking deal in exchange for self-admitted woman abuser with a nazi tattoo.

Or as Hegseth calls these strikes: “self defense” (no joke).

It’s genuinely depressing to watch our foreign policy shrink into something this unserious, this hollow, and this embarrassing.

Does it have electrolytes though?

Muting the word “Platner.” Just don’t need it in my life anymore.

I thought people were kidding, turns out Elon really did axe the screwworm containment program back in March 25. fucking imbecile www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

I’m narrowing my focus to @samforstag.bsky.social in Montana’s first district. Everything going on exterior to it seem to have a gazillion different outside influences and present a microcosm of why we are where we are. Bird by bird, district by district, righteous candidate by righteous candidate.

Nope—just don’t interview him. He wants the confrontations. He promotes them. Don’t give him what he wants.

I didn’t know much about this until after the deadly and horrific accident nearby in Longview. This board apparently has a very small operating budget — like $14 mil, which what the reflecting pool “repair” cost — so it seems like defunding this will cost communities deeply as more accidents happen.

The escalation ladder.

😑

Progressives on Twitter be like:

Having gone back for just a few days now, this really depicts the reality over there now. It’s impossible to cut in. You can find some slivers, but they close quickly. I do have a decent timeline going, but it pales to here and it’s just really much its own same “echo chamber”

Fantastic 52nd with @jokar.bsky.social in Portland for the weekend. Including the French cuisine at Bergerac in SE. Portland has got the best restaurants. Absolute best. And those neighborhoods.

I mean, some of them are straight up using the "screaming/crying feminist" to belittle their critics in the same way Gamergaters and early MAGA adopters did. We are literally watching history repeat itself.

First, I urge you to read Joan's piece. And as a person who's worked in politics professionally for almost 20 years, I'd like to share a few thoughts about why his consultants need to answer some big questions and maybe find a new field of work... 🧵

We would have regular exchanges with Israeli military intelligence and they were always very illuminating. But, the Israelis would often come through our secure spaces and sometimes are would just grab things off desks looking for anything that wasn’t REL to them. Now, this was two decades plus ago

No one is asking for AI data centers. People want clean air, clean water, protected forests, and a livable planet.

Made it to 52. Not bad.

States leading the way.

Hegseth claims the dumbest phrase in military history is “our diversity is our strength” 1. He’s wrong. Our diversity is a strength. 2. The dumbest phrase in military history is “personally owned vehicle” because whether said in full or as an acronym (POV) it is still more syllables than “my car”

I’m the asshole when I say it’s not “normal” to fantasize about raping people, that’s me disrespecting “rural culture” somehow.

So Harris lost a Michigan in large because she was so insanely off key (thanks Biden staff) on Gaza. So Michigan dems say, hey let’s boost a guy who gets it and see what happens, and the conventional wisdom is of course: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Mafia shakedown! “Use the Don’s cooked books. Or else!”

I don't even think you can say the misogyny is subtextual at this point. It's just the text

Key takeaway here: Trump and his party will ensure he skates free and clear even if it means the people they sent into harm’s way get shafted. Every. Single. Time. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/u...

Hey Maine! Janet Mills is STILL on the ballot. You can also rank David Costello AND, as a write-in, Andrea LaFlamme! FYI!

Surprising no one, but apparently the echo chamber Paramount C-suite.

It’s not okay to just use misogyny when it’s talking about women you don’t LIKE. No.

Now they’re questioning their brand problems? They could’ve learned from what NYT went through with her, but OK.

You know what could help swing this one back? @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social or @workingfamilies.org withdrawing their endorsements. That could speed this slow slide into a very bad spot. At least get out clean.

A lot of people telling on themselves this news cycle

Spent it on what is the big question. Also, is that a lot? Seems like a lot by June.

🙃 (Maybe he doesn’t want the competition?)

This effin' dude. "Before I was a public figure" was last July. He was cruising for women a few months before that, a barely a year into his marriage. This is like somebody saying "well, I have ten months without a drink, so I guess I'm not an alcoholic anymore!"

Platner on @chrislhayes.bsky.social starting now

Maine! You have options! Join me in one of my final virtual town halls before the primary. Ask me your questions and hear about my platform and why I believe that I'm the best candidate to beat Susan Collins. See you there! #mepolitics andreaformaine.com

GOP operatives can’t share their lived experience with serial abuser because he is a Democrat is a helluva take. Believe (only some) woman! Limo liberals to the rescue!

Political discourse aside, it’s literally always a red flag. If a white man claims he understands that white men have too much power by demanding *more power* for himself, then he didn’t actually grasp the most basic parts of social justice.

Okay, gonna go a bit personal here. Reading about Platner reminds me of my own issues initially getting out of the military. The hyper vigilance, the immediate snap to protect, the weirdness about being “Back in the World,” as Wolff relayed. It’s tough. The military “preps” you but not for …

Some of you need to internalize that "he's just a misogynist but it's not sexual assault" is not the strong distinction that you think it is

AOC represents basically the same policy platform without having decades of baggage and constant scandals. Why the am I obligated to support Platner. Why am I expected to rally behind this. Why are people so committed to selling vice as a political virtue.
