@zeddary.bsky.social Rush Hour 4 might be in Jeopardy. It’d be neat if Ratner gets booted and the movie goes ahead and does well. I’d happily help Chris Tucker’s retire some IRS debt.

somewhere in Orange County a reality television executive is so bricked up he can hardly stand

The president of Venezuela must be held legally accountable for his crimes, which the Supreme Court forbids to happen for the president of the US, who recently pardoned the president of Honduras for similar crimes.

@sky.skymarchini.net Really can’t stress enough what an upgrade he is and a credit to your state. Don’t even want to think about how Menendez would’ve reacted. Especially if their was a full pardon on the line.

You were saying?

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.

@sky.skymarchini.net Genuine New Years Resolution: Don’t poast. If you must poast, do so after 9pm. Why won’t Trump let us log off?

don’t do the “maduro is bad, but…” thing. the defensive crouch won’t help, it muddles the message, and the important thing is that this is immoral, illegal, and idiotic. the three Is

Holy shit

This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hhs...

For everything else about Trump, it's remarkable how similar his natsec process is to George W. Bush. It's seemingly almost entirely driven by an insular and small group of people with pathological fixations on working informally to steer all American policy toward their decades-long grievances.

Right wingers love to attack the very concept of daycare centers. In the 80s and 90s, local outbreaks of Satanic Panic often involved daycare centers and their employees. And it’s all about trying to scare and shame women into quitting their jobs

This is why they want us talking about day care scams.

@dicknixon.bsky.social Thus is what will eventually get Bari fired. Revamping CBS News would be a herculean task for a pro with good ideas. The Ellisons will eventually conclude there are far cheaper, competent people that could run in the black and do essentially the same thing without the drama

The US State Department imposed visa sanctions on a former top European Union official and employees of organizations that combat disinformation for alleged censorship.

"Look, I know we have some antisemites, but wouldn't you rather have that than a bunch of Jewish puppets?"

@dicknixon.bsky.social Put aside Brooks’s ‘11 Epstein visit. He just sucks at his job. He genuflects the vibe percolating in semi-elite circles. That’s it. It’s problematic that Dems like Obama ever took him seriously.

Kind of amazing how Marla Maples rarely comes up in reporting Trump’s past given how bad the 90s went for him

@uticaeric.bsky.social Frum reliably provides an occasional reminder about why it’s important to keep anti-Trump Neocons at arms length.

they should categorically ban people with Kalshi and Polymarket accounts from having security clearances

we have to destroy this nest of vipers

Pretty amazing how this went from a Tucker Carlson bit to headliner material

There are many reasons Gingrich will burn in hell and freezing the gas tax (instead of automatic inflation adjustment) is one of them

The Yellowtail Years

Branding for a presidential run. He’s fooled plenty of people and disposed them when they weren’t useful. Ask Danforth.

@sky.skymarchini.net I hate it but the “shark jump” quality of it makes me laugh. I also want to get one to keep in my wallet to present to anyone who expresses disbelief in the absurdity of this era.

@deadcarl.bsky.social Ever read this? I’m about half way through and am enjoying it.

The Supreme Court sided with this dissent:

Pretty notable, in my view, that Kagan points out the Supreme Court's pro-gerrymandering decision in Texas is a step-by-step instruction manual for states to draw discriminatory maps while ducking judicial review, and the majority has...nothing to say in response www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

@noahfeldman.bsky.social So, have you learned your lesson or are you gonna double down next time and tell us not to worry about nominees like Aileen Cannon or James Ho?

Least of all this man

Sounds like a natural successor to Trump.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms. The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent. I'll post the ruling shortly.

“You premiums went up because of anti-abortion zealots” works for me.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

@dicknixon.bsky.social Alright, I’m on the ditch Jeffries train. Not sure what Trump got out of it, but this clip can’t hurt as ammo to “both sides” away any criticisms of his absurd pardons.

@uticaeric.bsky.social Too many Dems don’t realize that how popular it’d be tell this creep off. Nationalize or kneecap Palantir. Prosecute every crime Karp or Thiel have committed. Restore balance to the force. The others will get the message Just amazing how cocky he is with a AI bubble looming.

Sorry to anyone who thought Wokeness was annoying but as we now know it's the price we pay for a civilized society

Rick Santorum getting his ass kicked was the first time I thought a better world was possible. I was wrong, obviously, but
