I’m proud of the work I did as an AUSA, and I say this with complete sincerity: if you’re an AUSA, and a decent person, who cares about your oath, get out. Get out now without destroying your reputation. A DoJ run to Trumpist specifications is corrupt and incompetent. The stink will stick on you.

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

When someone attacks a synagogue, a certain segment of people go searching for something that synagogue has said or done in support of Israel, to prove why the attack is actually justified. This article is the Islamophobic equivalent, and it's equally horrific and racist. nypost.com/2026/05/18/u...

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

I frequently criticize “politics as fandom” but there’s no better example than people willing to risk the house majority needed to stop fascism because they think that people on death’s door “deserve” a seat

It really is inexcusable that the NYT maintains a "free speech on campus" reporter who DOESN'T COVER OFFICIAL, POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED CENSORSHIP OF SPEECH ON CAMPUS. At some point you're actively deceiving the public, no?

Sitcom dad on a 1980’s show that seems vaguely Christian but never mentions Jesus

Every one of these debates are Stancil: Consumer sentiment diverged from traditional economic indicators in 2021 Bluesky people: Ohh, so you are denying the existence of evil!

During a recent focus group of 20 Gen Z Republicans conducted by a conservative think tank, a subset of participants were asked to share their thoughts on Hitler. Only one responded with outright criticism. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/oYuJBh

I can’t believe we’re still doing this. Knight Rider is actually the driver. The car is “Knight Rider’s Monster.”

the best thing about events like the met gala is watching people be celebrated for wearing outfits you'd never once let a friend forget about making the massive mistake of choosing

BREAKING: Mike Rogers says he wants cops at Detroit polling locations, reviving a strategy to intimidate voters of color. "‘You know what, let's put police officers... as our poll watchers in Detroit.' Because, go ahead: Try to intimidate them. Please." www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

if you let the white south go too many generations without federal occupation, this is what they get up to

It’s infuriating how much NBA teams devote to tanking given how few of the best players were guys you needed to tank for

Rabid hatred of Will Stancil, a dweeb who occasionally is wrong but is almost entirely coming from the right place, is the single biggest political red flag I can imagine. You’re not a leftist, you’re just looking for someone it’s okay to hate

tim heidecker drinks the blood of the forsaken youtu.be/Exu1SEZE9Ug

There is a Kinda Guy that is absolutely gaga for Gruff-Aesthetic White Guy Who Says Kinda Lefty Things. Their love for this is *not* strategic or instrumental to some end, such a person is an object of intrinsic attraction to them, and a strong one at that. They will rationalise anything for this.

I think fundamentally a lot of these Israeli politicians just have a problem of not being capable of understanding that, for young liberals in the US, the relationship to Israel is now *contingent* upon *Israel's relationship to Palestinians*. That is, the previous logic has been totally upended.

By all that is holy, if and when SCOTUS decides that birthright citizenship is protected in the Constitution, don't let the 3-3-3 numpties tell you this is a moderate, centrist court. Rejecting an a-textual stupid Hail Mary doesn't cash out to a push when it comes to eviscerating the VRA today.

Iran exposes Trump as the dumbest, weakest president in history. Dumb for starting the war, weak for both losing and not being able to admit he lost. Don’t see any reason to overthink this. They can run his face in more than just the high price of gas

They valorize and celebrate the people who murder us and reward them for doing so.

There is a way and it involves vaporizing a lot of lawyers’ licenses (a fate worse than jail time for many lawyers)

There is no equivalent on the Democratic side for the pure, undiluted nihilism coming from the federal government right now. We basically have one party of technocrats and one party of Branch Davidians.

For years these guys openly called for war. They said protesters should be shot. Their whole thing was sending you memes that said “We are going to kill you” and “You have six months.” But then some guy likes two dozen of my tweets about how Trump is bad and I’m the terrorist. They’re lying.

For the “tone down the rhetoric” crowd, Trump literally posted Obama’s address and the next day a 1/6 guy armed to the teeth showed up casing the residence.

ok sorry for being a RUBE but “in celebration of the First Amendment. honoring the Trump White House” please retire from journalism if you attended this!

"You're laughing. All of the insane Gulf petrostate dictators are getting their dicks smashed in the car door repeatedly by the idiot THEY SPECIFICALLY bribed at every turn to act in their interests but he's a fucking moron and so it's Car Door Time, Forever, and you're laughing" remains in effect!

This is treating Trump v. United States as law. It is not law. It is anti-law. It belongs in that category of Supreme Court decisions which were not merely wrong, they were illegitimate and non-binding from the day they were issued. It is owed no more respect than Lincoln gave Dred Scott.

Texas tech now bans students from writing about LGBTQ issues in any form. Mentions of gender identity, orientation etc in textbooks must be skipped. Deafening silence so far from all the brave heterodox free speech absolutists www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

Everyone in the media knows that if they openly brag about it, that means it's not a crime anymore. Has to be a secret to be a scandal!

What we already know about Jared Kushner is infinitely worse, from any possible angle, than anything we ever learned about Hunter Biden. And yet the media is completely ignoring it. Open corruption is tolerated from one of the two parties. But only one.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

The "vibecession" puzzle: Why did macroeconomic metrics and consumer sentiment track each other for decades then diverge starting in 2021? If record low consumer sentiment now is due to prices, the question becomes: Why did inflation and prices not do that before 2021? The *change* is the puzzle.

Do I think that Graham Platner will pull a Fetterman if elected? I don't know. Do I find it annoying that people portray white men who went to elite schools and grew up in affluent families as "working class" just because they hate wearing suits? Yes, definitely.

Governor Spanberger is kind of like an anti-Mamdani in that she is ostensibly a normal boring Democrat with basically no media presence except for a weekly headline where she signs the "Deport All Republicans To West Virginia Act"

The Boys and Daredevil: Born Again are somehow the best pop cultural commentaries on the second Trump administration, which is less a matter of "superhero metaphors allow for sophisticated social commentary" and more a matter of "reality is now full of cartoonish supervillains."

Everything Trump has done in the past year can simply be distilled into this

A disconsolate Rod Dreher ordering one exorcism after another at his local in Budapest. A manager discreetly tells him that he's cut off and Dreher howls "just gimme the fucking rites" at the barback.

We didn't clear house following Reconstruction or following the Civil Rights Movement and we absolutely have to do it next time.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

Magyar: “No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions.”

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

This is basically a nightmare scenario for any Gulf petrostate that isn't called Oman, and I wish them a very good "You get what you paid for".
