Nothing pisses me off more than a plea agreement that reduces a child sexual assault sentence serving time to 6 months from 10 years. For an authority figure who abused his power. How lame are these prosecutors.

if i do nothing else in my (many) years online, this will have been worth it

Literally last week every MAGA idiot around was insisting, loudly, how terrible it was that the Biden admin pressured YouTube to remove COVID misinfo, even as YouTube said it ignored the pressure. Those same folks will either be silent or cheer this on:

I'm sorry but to me this is plainly and obviously a long con the intent of which is to turn America into a police state.

I'm admittedly very tired but I read this post several times and I feel like I'm going insane.

Oligarchs abhor being called to account, so they surround themselves with people who will both kiss up to and protect them. cf David Ellison/Bari Weiss

Bari Weiss and JD Vance are very similar figures with very similar skills.

Meanwhile, here's DHS today posting an unambiguous neo-Nazi meme without plausible deniability:

Just sharing this everywhere I see her name pop up today after ignoring her existence basically since we were 19 and lived in the same apartment. She is a deeply terrible person. Goodbye CBS “news”.

⚡️New military training center for Ukrainian, NATO troops opens in Poland. Capable of accommodating up to 1,200 military personnel at a time, Camp Jomsborg is the largest training center for Ukrainian troops.

Looming over what would otherwise be a beautiful stretch of pacific coastline, this facility represents about 1.5% of the US’s refining capacity. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

Trump: we will do project 2025 Harris: he will do project 2025 Public: oh that’s bad Trump: I’m not gonna do it have never heard of it Harris: he’s still gonna do it Media: no one can predict the future 77 pinocchios

#GOP = #GangOfPedos

They left a 67-year-old man ziptied on the sidewalk for HOURS. Abolition of ICE is not enough.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

This probably sounds minor to many of you but closing the commissaries will....not be taken lightly by the US all-volunteer standing military. The PX is everything (literally, as it's not just groceries!)

As one does.

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Those who ignore history are destined to repeat it.

Anyone who lets AI do the thinking for them is a chump. Like assuming that reading just the cover of a Cliff Notes is an acceptable substitute for reading the book. www.derekthompson.org/p/the-end-of...

The guy calls himself a man of God, yet he doesn't practice what he preaches. It's what happens when one drinks the kool-aid, and can't remember the flavor. He's a poster child for why the founding fathers believed in the separation of church & state, and warned against the blurring of those lines.

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Imagine crossing ten time zones to hear that.”

... and MAGA either didn't see this coming, or deliberately encouraged it on the premise that destroying the economy helps to bring down the "elite cabal" and the administrative state. Like running headlong into a brick wall on the premise of "I'll show those bricks what's what!!"

It's not new, but I do think we shrug it off a little more than we should

Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles #MaxwellIsGuilty

Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help them—their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore.

EMERGENCY MEDICAID REIMBURSES HOSPITALS FOR CARE TO UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE BY LAW HOSPITALS CANNOT TURN AWAY ANYONE IN AN EMERGENCY. RONALD REGAN SIGNED THIS INTO LAW.

I had lunch with my mom and she unprompted said “did you hear about the guy running for mayor I don’t know his name but I like him” so this stuff works I guess

On the eve of a shutdown, Hegseth and Trump spend millions of taxpayer money to engage in performative b.s. and dangerously suggest that rules of engagement can be bent. Generals are left scratching their heads over why it wasn't just sent out as an email. Gift 🎁 Article puck.news/how-was-pete...

Republicans refused to keep health care subsidies for millions of Americans and then shut down the government. The GOP chose chaos over coverage. This shutdown is entirely on them.

Perfect..

The VA is joining all the other agencies blaming democrats for the shut down - when in fact - republicans can fund the government without a single democratic vote.

i believe Pope Leo can negatively polarize Matt Walsh into Russian Orthodoxy

RIP Jane Goodall 🙏 Her Trump description: "I see the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when he’s competing for dominance with another"

I don't think the leopards have ever eaten faces quite so blatantly as this.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

A lot of us believed Pete Hegseth hated women even before he was confirmed. We weren’t wrong. Quotes on women in the military: • In a 2024 interview, Hegseth stated that "Women shouldn't be in combat at all. They're life-givers, not life-takers" 1/3

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."
