This is astonishing in how dumb it is.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The plain fact is that child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has leverage over the convicted felon who is the president of the United States.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Ahem

one time michelle obama tried to get kids to exercise a little and the entire republican party ate its own face

Beautiful- “we’re going to turn all the girlbosses into tradwives once they see all the manly men at the USA iPhone-screwing factory.”

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

“Cutting costs” does a lot of work to obscure that they want to cut very particular costs, the labor of faculty, TAs, staff, while being extremely excited to funnel large, maybe infinite, amounts to private corporations, while destroying the core mission and alienating students etc

It gets even more pathetic— x.com/RepBeatty/st...

Trump is fighting wokeness with everything he has right now

He’s going to rename the Washington Monument next. The Donald J. Trump Giant and Very Normal Looking Penis

The Mount Saint Helens of bullshit eruptions.

Full on neo-Nazi conspiracy theories from the president tonight — the very same invasion and replacement conspiracy theories that have fueled a cycle of deadly violence targeting so many communities including immigrants, Jews, Latinos, the Black community, Muslims, and more.

Here is my recap of Trump district court nominee Justin Olson's Senate confirmation hearing, during which Olson spent a lot more time than I'd hoped sharing his thoughts on biblical eunuchs, the evils of fornication, and whether it's appropriate for disabled people to get married

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue Yup. That about sums it up

Not going to repost the President’s comments re the death of Rob Reiner but it’s clear our commander in chief is deeply unwell.

Ahem

The endgame here is getting the Supreme Court to declare that the entire civil service system is unconstitutional. Which is to say, this administration does not want us to be a modern, efficient, globally competitive nation-state.

James Talarico: Frankly I am tired of the ‘thoughts and prayers’ rhetoric from our leaders. There is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves. The time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.

It’s quite bad that we’ve stopped socially rewarding people who do work, the only way to get recognition is to create content, which means you aren’t doing the work, you’re making work-flavored content

“.. The problem isn’t that grocery prices are high .. the problem is that nobody is giving the president credit for all the good things happening in the make-believe world he inhabits.” @rexhuppke.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This!! “A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."”

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries. A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."

We all deserve the same healthcare we provide to Congress…

When your appearance with Trump has to be blocked out for your own protection

Trump condom- guaranteed birth control. Makes you go limp.

Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

"Affordability is a Democrat hoax." Chart: The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/de...

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires... But for the rest of America?   Higher utility bills. Higher grocery bills. Historically high mortgage rates. And skyrocketing health insurance bills.

Supreme Court oral argument this morning, in sum Sotomayor: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (derogatory) Gorsuch: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (complimentary)

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

The tools v. technology take is spot on and it's not just human agency at stake but what it means to be distinctively human. AI can be yet another way we dehumanize education.

Affordability concerns are real because: - Tariffs raise import costs - Deportations make it harder to harvest crops - Attacking Obamacare hikes premiums - Budget deficits raise mortgage payments - Undermining the Fed risks inflation. It's not a hoax; it's a policy choice.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
